New South Wales grid · community impact

Based on last week's New South Wales grid mix (avg 790 gCO₂/kWh), Postcode 2508's 1,385 solar systems typically avoid around 8.37 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Grid intensity data: Open Electricity (openelectricity.org.au) · 7-day average · updates monthly

Postcode 2508 ranks 255th in New South Wales for solar installations — in the middle tier of 721 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. Growth has been strong, with 150 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 58% increase on the previous year, making Postcode 2508 one of New South Wales's faster-growing solar postcodes.

The combined impact is substantial: Postcode 2508's solar community avoids an estimated 13,371 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 6,367 cars off the road or powering around 2,674 average Australian homes with clean electricity. This is estimated using New South Wales's average grid emissions intensity of 790 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
