Victoria grid · community impact

Based on last week's Victoria grid mix (avg 980 gCO₂/kWh), Postcode 3279's 49 solar systems typically avoid around 0.37 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

Postcode 3279 ranks 641st in Victoria out of 713 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 49 registered systems to date. New installations eased in the past 12 months (2 systems, 50% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

Postcode 3279's solar systems avoid an estimated 587 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 280 fewer cars on the road annually. 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.
