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

Paynesville ranks 341st in Victoria for solar installations — in the middle tier of 713 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. New installations eased in the past 12 months (24 systems, 25% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

Collectively, Paynesville's 528 solar systems avoid an estimated 6,323 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 3,011 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.
