Islamabad: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has issued a notification for the new Net Metering Regulations 2026.
According to the notification, a net billing system has been introduced under the new regulations. The updated framework will also apply to biogas consumers.
Under the new rules, electricity bills will be issued at the end of each billing cycle under the net billing mechanism.
Power generated by net metering consumers will now be purchased at the National Average Energy Price, while consumers will be required to pay for electricity units consumed. The unit-for-unit adjustment system has been abolished.
The regulations state that net metering consumers will be supplied electricity at the prevailing applicable tariff, while payments for surplus electricity supplied to the national grid will be made on a quarterly basis.
The duration of net metering agreements has been limited to five years, with a provision for renewal for an additional five years upon expiry.
Following the enforcement of the new regulations, the Net Metering Regulations 2015 will stand suspended.
