Grid intensity data: Open Electricity (openelectricity.org.au) · 7-day average · updates monthly

Nyngan ranks 518th in New South Wales out of 721 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 228 registered systems to date. New installations eased in the past 12 months (7 systems, 36% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

Collectively, Nyngan's 228 solar systems avoid an estimated 2,201 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,048 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.
