Weipa ranks 374th in Queensland out of 449 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 105 registered systems to date. Growth has been strong, with 9 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 50% increase on the previous year, making Weipa one of Queensland's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Collectively, Weipa's 105 solar systems avoid an estimated 1,039 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 495 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.
