Queensland grid · community impact

Based on last week's Queensland grid mix (avg 810 gCO₂/kWh), Postcode 4659's 2,401 solar systems typically avoid around 14.88 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

Postcode 4659 ranks 148th in Queensland for solar installations — in the middle tier of 449 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 190 new systems were added in the past 12 months, with growth of 1% on the previous year — typical of a maturing market where most interested households have already installed.

The combined impact is substantial: Postcode 4659's solar community avoids an estimated 23,766 tonnes of CO₂ every year — equivalent to taking 11,317 cars off the road or powering around 4,753 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.
