Complete Guide to Net Metering Policies in Pakistan 2025

As Pakistan faces rising electricity costs and frequent power shortages, solar energy is a good and affordable choice. To make renewable energy more attractive, the government of Pakistan has introduced net metering policies. These policies let solar users lower their bills and earn money from the extra electricity they create. In 2025, these policies are simpler and more helpful than ever. They make it easier for families, businesses, and industries to gain benefits.

What is Net Metering in Pakistan?

Net metering is a billing system. It allows solar panel owners to connect their solar panels to the national grid. Through this system, you can:

• Use solar energy during the day for your own consumption.
• Sell extra electricity units to the grid.
• Adjust your electricity bills based on the net units consumed vs. supplied.

Net metering makes your home or business a mini power station. This helps you save money and gain energy independence.
