South Australia grid · community impact

Based on last week's South Australia grid mix (avg 370 gCO₂/kWh), Waikerie's 274 solar systems typically avoid around 0.78 tonnes of CO₂ every hour during peak generation.

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

Waikerie ranks 213th in South Australia out of 347 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 274 registered systems to date. New installations eased in the past 12 months (10 systems, 41% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

Collectively, Waikerie's 274 solar systems avoid an estimated 1,239 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 590 cars from the road. This is estimated using South Australia's average grid emissions intensity of 370 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
