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

Port Hedland ranks 261st in Western Australia out of 388 postcodes in the Clean Energy Regulator dataset, with 63 registered systems to date. New installations eased in the past 12 months (3 systems, 62% below the previous year), a natural slowdown after earlier periods of stronger uptake.

Port Hedland's solar systems avoid an estimated 485 tonnes of CO₂ per year, equivalent to 231 fewer cars on the road annually. 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.
