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

Runcorn ranks 158th in Queensland for solar installations — in the middle tier of 449 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 103 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 11% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.

The combined impact is substantial: Runcorn's solar community avoids an estimated 21,440 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 10,210 cars off the road or powering around 4,288 average Australian homes with clean electricity. This is estimated using Queensland's average grid emissions intensity of 810 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
