On February 17, 2026, the government formally notified a reduction of Rs4.04 per unit in power rates for all industrial consumers, effective from February 11, 2026. This move came alongside a request to the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) to restore the contractual rights of existing net-metered solar consumers until their agreements expire, as directed by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The Power Division's notification included a nominal fixed charge of Rs1,000 per consumer per month for smaller industrial consumers, while maintaining unchanged rates for larger categories. This request aligns with NEPRA's ongoing public consultation regarding amendments to its Prosumers Regulations 2026, which aim to ensure that existing agreements remain valid and prosumers continue to be billed under old rates until their contracts expire.
