Port Fairy ranks 451st in Victoria out of 713 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 241 registered systems to date. New installations eased in the past 12 months (12 systems, 20% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
Collectively, Port Fairy's 241 solar systems avoid an estimated 2,886 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,374 cars from the road. 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.
