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

Geelong is one of Victoria's strongest solar communities, ranking 62nd in the state — ahead of 91% of all Victoria postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. Growth has been strong, with 723 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 40% increase on the previous year, making Geelong one of Victoria's faster-growing solar postcodes.

The combined impact is substantial: Geelong's solar community avoids an estimated 39,975 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 19,036 cars off the road or powering around 7,995 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.
