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

Nuriootpa ranks 236th in South Australia out of 347 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 191 registered systems to date. New installations eased in the past 12 months (7 systems, 22% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

Nuriootpa's solar systems avoid an estimated 864 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 411 fewer cars on the road annually. 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.
