4,319 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 25% in Australian Capital Territory · data current as at 2026-06-15
Based on last week's Australian Capital Territory grid mix (avg 790 gCO₂/kWh), Dickson's 4,319 solar systems typically avoid around 26.10 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Dickson sits in the top third of Australian Capital Territory for solar uptake, ranking 7th in the state out of 28 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset. 291 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 14% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Dickson's solar community avoids an estimated 41,695 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 19,855 cars off the road or powering around 8,339 average Australian homes with clean electricity. This is estimated using Australian Capital Territory's average grid emissions intensity of 790 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
