Queensland grid · community impact

Based on last week's Queensland grid mix (avg 810 gCO₂/kWh), Gympie's 15,677 solar systems typically avoid around 97.14 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

Gympie is one of Queensland's strongest solar communities, ranking 8th in the state — ahead of 98% of all Queensland postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator. New installations eased in the past 12 months (917 systems, 35% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

The combined impact is substantial: Gympie's solar community avoids an estimated 155,177 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 73,894 cars off the road or powering around 31,035 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.
