Bourke ranks 378th 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 (10 systems, 71% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
Collectively, Bourke's 680 solar systems avoid an estimated 6,565 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 3,126 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.
