New South Wales grid · community impact

Based on last week's New South Wales grid mix (avg 790 gCO₂/kWh), Forbes's 767 solar systems typically avoid around 4.64 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Forbes ranks 350th in New South Wales for solar installations — in the middle tier of 721 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. New installations eased in the past 12 months (25 systems, 31% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

Collectively, Forbes's 767 solar systems avoid an estimated 7,405 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 3,526 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.
