The recent developments in Pakistan's solar net metering policy have sparked significant debate and reactions from various stakeholders. On January 29, 2026, Power Minister Sardar Awais Leghari overturned a controversial order by the Power Planning and Monitoring Company (PPMC) that had deprived net-metered solar consumers of credits for electricity exported to the grid. According to Dawn, the minister acted swiftly to address the 'non-crediting of units for net-metering consumers under PPMC directives' and confirmed that the issue had been revisited 'immediately.' This decision was welcomed by many, as it restored the benefits for solar users, but it also highlighted ongoing tensions between solar consumers and power distribution companies (Discos). Discos had raised concerns about 'prosumers' with solar systems exceeding the permitted capacity, arguing that these oversized installations posed risks to grid stability and financial operations.
