How does electricity bill credit settlement work under NEPRA Net-Metering?

Exported solar units are first adjusted 1-to-1 against off-peak consumed units in your monthly bill. If total exported units exceed consumed units, the surplus credit rolls over to the next billing month.

How long does net metering approval take in Pakistan?

The standard net-metering approval and green meter commissioning process takes between 4 to 8 weeks depending on your DISCO jurisdiction.

Can single-phase consumers apply for net-metering in Pakistan?

No. NEPRA requires a three-phase electricity connection. Single-phase consumers must first apply to upgrade their connection to three-phase before filing for net-metering.

NEPRA Net Metering Rules Summary

In Pakistan, Net-Metering allows three-phase solar consumers under DISCOs (LESCO, IESCO, KE, FESCO, MEPCO) to feed surplus solar generation into the national grid via a bi-directional green meter. Surplus daytime exported units offset night-time off-peak grid units on a 1-to-1 credit basis, with excess credits rolling over indefinitely to subsequent quarterly settlement cycles.
