The Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) has announced a significant revision to its net metering policy, impacting consumers who export solar energy back to the grid. According to ARY News, the export rate for net metering consumers has been reduced by 66 paisas, from Rs 25.98 to Rs 25.32 per unit. This change is set to take effect from the January 2026 billing cycle. The revision follows directives from Pakistan's Ministry of Energy, which has been consulting with stakeholders to update the national net metering policy. The new policy also restricts export units exceeding the approved capacity, aligning with the D.G. capacity, as noted by ARY News. This move is part of a broader effort to regulate and standardize solar energy contributions to the national grid.
