Net metering consumers: Leghari takes notice of non-crediting of units

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Power Division Sardar Awais Ahmed Khan Leghari has taken notice of the non-crediting of units to net metering consumers under the directives issued by PPAMC.

On the instructions of the Federal Minister, the directives issued by PPAMC have been reviewed with immediate effect. Following the revised directives, the issue of crediting units has been resolved.

As per details, some of the net metering consumers had installed net metering systems with capacities exceeding the approved limit under their licences (DG capacity).

Last month, a number of such consumers were not given any credit for the electricity sold to the national grid.

However, the Power Division has clarified that this practice was not correct. Under the revised directives, only those units exceeding the approved capacity will not be credited.

Units exported to the national grid within the approved capacity will now be credited accordingly. In this regard, instructions have been issued to all DISCOs.

For consumers whose net metering units were not credited in their bills, the relevant adjustments will be made in the next billing cycle.

In a statement, the Federal Minister reiterated commitment to securing consumers’ rightful entitlements without any compromise.
