Net Metering in Pakistan: Complete Step-by-Step DISCO & NEPRA Guide
How to apply for a 3-Phase bi-directional green meter with LESCO, K-Electric, IESCO, and FESCO without unnecessary delays.
What is Net Metering in Pakistan?
Net Metering allows solar system owners to export excess daylight electricity back to their respective DISCO (LESCO, IESCO, K-Electric, MEPCO, FESCO) and offset their nighttime grid consumption.
Step-by-Step Application Process
- Feasibility & Load Assessment: Ensure your sanction load matches your proposed solar capacity. Your sanctioned load must be equal to or higher than the requested generation capacity.
- Approved Inverter & Component Verification: Install a NEPRA / AEDB approved inverter (e.g. Inverex Nitrox 3-Phase, Huawei SUN2000, Sungrow, Growatt).
- Bore & Chemical Earthing Certification: Ground resistance must test strictly below 5 Ohms, certified by a licensed professional engineer.
- Green Meter Testing & DISCO Agreement: The bi-directional meter is calibrated at the DISCO M&T testing lab and sealed before commissioning.
