Overview
- Multiple distribution companies, including K-Electric, stopped accepting new net metering applications without prior approval, according to NEPRA.
- NEPRA labeled the stoppage a serious concern and a violation of applicable documents, stating existing net metering rules remain in force.
- The regulator directed all companies to submit detailed reports within three working days and instructed them to resume registrations.
- NEPRA recently issued draft Prosumer Regulations, 2025 and invited public comments for 30 days before holding public hearings and issuing a final decision.
- An official source said distributors paused new sign-ups to avoid adding customers under the outgoing 2015 regime, with exemptions for existing users reported under the proposed rules.
