Queensland grid · community impact

Based on last week's Queensland grid mix (avg 810 gCO₂/kWh), North Lakes's 8,243 solar systems typically avoid around 51.08 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

North Lakes is one of Queensland's strongest solar communities, ranking 40th in the state — ahead of 91% of all Queensland postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. New installations eased in the past 12 months (399 systems, 17% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

The combined impact is substantial: North Lakes's solar community avoids an estimated 81,592 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 38,853 cars off the road or powering around 16,318 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.
