Augusta ranks 158th in Western Australia for solar installations — in the middle tier of 388 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. 22 new systems were installed in the past 12 months, a 16% increase on the previous year — steady growth consistent with continued community uptake.
Collectively, Augusta's 423 solar systems avoid an estimated 3,257 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,551 cars from the road. This is estimated using Western Australia's average grid emissions intensity of 630 gCO₂/kWh, sourced from OpenElectricity, applied to an average system size of 9kW.
