In a major development for solar energy users, the government is preparing to simplify and digitalize the process for applying for new net metering connections through an online portal.
A high-level meeting, chaired by Federal Minister for Energy Sardar Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari, reviewed the upcoming online system for handling net metering connection requests. The aim is to make the application process easier, more transparent, and user-friendly.
During the meeting, Minister Leghari stressed the need to resolve all existing issues in the current application system promptly. He instructed the relevant electricity distribution companies (DISCOs) to be trained on using the new portal and called for a practical demonstration to ensure smooth implementation.
The minister also directed the launch of an awareness campaign to educate electricity consumers on how to use the new system and understand the transparency benefits it offers.
Last month, Awais Leghari revealed that only 5 to 8 percent of solar system owners in Pakistan had registered for net metering. He added that the federal cabinet had asked for a review of the current net metering policy. “Our goal is to ensure that when people invest in solar and net metering, they recover their costs within three to four years and feel satisfied with their decision,” he stated.
