Victoria grid · community impact

Based on last week's Victoria grid mix (avg 980 gCO₂/kWh), Emerald's 1,005 solar systems typically avoid around 7.53 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

Emerald ranks 241st in Victoria for solar installations — in the middle tier of 713 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 71 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 8% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.

The combined impact is substantial: Emerald's solar community avoids an estimated 12,036 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 5,731 cars off the road or powering around 2,407 average Australian homes with clean electricity. This is estimated using Victoria's average grid emissions intensity of 980 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
