Creswick ranks 398th in Victoria for solar installations — in the middle tier of 713 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 15 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 15% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
Collectively, Creswick's 356 solar systems avoid an estimated 4,263 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 2,030 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.
