Queensland grid · community impact

Based on last week's Queensland grid mix (avg 810 gCO₂/kWh), Longreach's 578 solar systems typically avoid around 3.58 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

Longreach ranks 264th 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 (42 systems, 31% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

Collectively, Longreach's 578 solar systems avoid an estimated 5,721 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 2,724 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.
