Islamabad (HRNW)- The federal government has amended the billing procedure for consumers generating electricity through solar systems in violation of approved agreements, introducing major changes to the net metering framework.
Under the new procedure, excess electricity generated beyond the approved limit will now be treated as “zero” units by electricity distribution companies. Authorities have also implemented an “export MDI check” on the connections of consumers found violating their agreement terms.
Following this move, all relief previously provided on electricity generated from additional solar panels has been abolished. Although the extra electricity will still be added to the national grid, no credit or relief will be granted under the net metering policy.
According to the government’s decision, relief based on export MDI readings has also been withdrawn in cases where consumers install more solar panels than allowed under their approved generation license.
