Bundaberg ranks 277th in Queensland out of 449 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 519 registered systems to date. Growth has been strong, with 29 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 32% increase on the previous year, making Bundaberg one of Queensland's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Collectively, Bundaberg's 519 solar systems avoid an estimated 5,137 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 2,446 cars from the road. 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.
