NEPRA 2026 Net Metering Rules: Solar & Biogas Billing Updates introduce a nationwide system that impacts both rooftop solar electricity and biogas consumers’ electricity. Under the new NEPRA Net Metering Regulations 2026, all electricity generated beyond approved capacity will now receive proper billing credit adjustment. The updated net billing systemin Pakistan ensures that consumers are fairly paid at the national average energy price.
The regulations also define an electricity agreement duration of five years, with an option for renewal. Net metering consumers will receive an electricity credit to the grid every quarter. Power Distribution Companies (DISCOs) are instructed to follow the updated process strictly. Earlier issues with missed billing cycles or uncredited units are now addressed.
Solar energy generation in Pakistan is expected to rise as a result. Rooftop solar electricity owners can now benefit from transparent electricity buyback rates. Biogas consumers’ electricity will also be properly accounted for under these new rules. The government aims to encourage renewable energy projects while improving energy efficiency across the sector.
Federal Minister for Power’s intervention prompted a review by the Power Planning and Monitoring Company (PPMC). Their assessment ensured all units sent to the grid within approved limits are credited. These measures support circular debt management and boost transparency in energy contracts. Independent Power Producers (IPPs) contracts are also being reviewed for better terms.
Overall, NEPRA 2026 Net Metering Rules: Solar & Biogas Billing Updates improve consumer rights, promote clean energy sources, and streamline the electricity billing cycle. They mark a significant step toward a more competitive energy market in Pakistan. Consumers now enjoy proper electricity credit, clear billing processes, and a more reliable net metering system.
