Tumut ranks 473rd in New South Wales out of 721 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 331 registered systems to date. 18 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 6% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.
Collectively, Tumut's 331 solar systems avoid an estimated 3,195 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,521 cars from the road. 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.
