Port Hedland ranks 155th in Western Australia for solar installations — in the middle tier of 388 postcodes tracked by the Clean Energy Regulator across the state. Growth has been strong, with 41 new systems installed in the past 12 months — a 95% increase on the previous year, making Port Hedland one of Western Australia's faster-growing solar postcodes.
Collectively, Port Hedland's 424 solar systems avoid an estimated 3,264 tonnes of CO₂ per year — the equivalent of removing 1,554 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.
