2,812 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 50% in Queensland · data current as at 2026-05-15
Based on last week's Queensland grid mix (avg 810 gCO₂/kWh), Woodford's 2,812 solar systems typically avoid around 17.42 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Woodford ranks 140th in Queensland for solar installations — in the middle tier of 449 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. New installations eased in the past 12 months (202 systems, 8% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.
The combined impact is substantial: Woodford's solar community avoids an estimated 27,834 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 13,254 cars off the road or powering around 5,567 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.
