2,885 solar installations registered with the Clean Energy Regulator · ranked top 50% in Queensland · data current as at 2026-08-15
Based on last week's Queensland grid mix (avg 810 gCO₂/kWh), Woodford's 2,885 solar systems typically avoid around 17.88 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

Woodford ranks 141st 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 (203 systems, 10% 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 28,557 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 13,599 cars off the road or powering around 5,711 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.
