Queensland grid · community impact

Based on last week's Queensland grid mix (avg 810 gCO₂/kWh), Kilcoy's 1,601 solar systems typically avoid around 9.92 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

Kilcoy ranks 190th 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 (81 systems, 9% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

The combined impact is substantial: Kilcoy's solar community avoids an estimated 15,847 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 7,546 cars off the road or powering around 3,169 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.
