1,636 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 50% in Australian Capital Territory · data current as at 2026-04-03
Based on last week's Australian Capital Territory grid mix (avg 790 gCO₂/kWh), Hughes's 1,636 solar systems typically avoid around 9.89 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Hughes ranks 13th in Australian Capital Territory for solar installations — in the middle tier of 28 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 89 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 2% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.
The combined impact is substantial: Hughes's solar community avoids an estimated 15,794 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 7,521 cars off the road or powering around 3,159 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.
