ISLAMABAD:
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has begun the formal process of introducing new rules for solar net metering by scheduling a public consultation on the draft Prosumer Regulations 2025, inviting stakeholders and the public to submit their views.
The authority has scheduled the application for consultation and decided to hold a public consultation on the proposed regulations, which aim to govern consumers who both produce and consume electricity through solar installations.
The public hearing will be held on February 6 and NEPRA has invited all stakeholders and citizens to give their views.
A copy of the draft Prosumer Regulations 2025 has been made available on NEPRA’s official website for public perusal.
NEPRA also held a public hearing on a request filed by the Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA) on Thursday. CPPA told NEPRA that national electricity consumption increased by 22 percent compared to the same period last year, mainly due to higher demand from industrial and agricultural sectors.
