Weipa ranks 362nd in Queensland out of 449 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 130 registered systems to date. New installations eased in the past 12 months (9 systems, 10% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

Collectively, Weipa's 130 solar systems avoid an estimated 1,287 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 613 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.
