The Power Division has directed all power distribution companies (Discos) and the Pakistan Information Technology Company (PITC) to immediately clear pending net-metering applications, acting on recent directives issued by the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA).
The order covers consumers who paid their demand notices, received net-metering licences, completed meter replacement or reprogramming, and had meter connection orders issued before February 9, 2026, but whose connections remain unprocessed.
Eligibility for these cases will be determined by verifiable proof that the demand notice was paid before the February 9 cut-off date.
Discos and PITC have been instructed to carry out a thorough verification of all pending applications, with particular focus on confirming demand notice payments made before the deadline. The Power Division has assured consumers who met all requirements and paid on time that they will not face unnecessary delays or procedural obstacles.
PITC has been separately tasked with reviewing its billing systems and software to ensure that all eligible connections completed before February 9 are promptly updated and reflected in the system, a step regarded as essential to preventing eligible consumers from being excluded.
The Power Division said the verification drive is intended to ensure accurate and fair implementation of Nepra’s directives, not to create obstacles, and to protect consumer rights while ensuring only genuine pending cases are cleared. The Power Division will monitor implementation across all Discos.
