The recent discussions surrounding the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority's (NEPRA) Prosumer Regulations 2026 have raised significant concerns among lawmakers regarding consumer rights and the regulatory framework for renewable energy in Pakistan. On February 18, 2026, Barrister Danyal Chaudhry, the Parliamentary Secretary for Information and Broadcasting, emphasized the need for parliamentary oversight during a briefing organized by the Parliamentary Forum on Energy and Economy. He stated, "The surge in rooftop solar adoption reflects public demand for affordable and reliable electricity," highlighting the importance of ensuring that regulations do not undermine consumer rights or investment confidence. The rapid expansion of rooftop solar installations has been attributed to rising electricity tariffs and grid unreliability, with Chaudhry noting that any regulatory framework must balance grid stability with consumer interests.
