The Power Division has directed electricity distribution companies and the Pakistan Information Technology Company (PITC) to speed up the clearance of eligible pending net-metering cases.

The move follows a recent directive from the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) to review delayed net-metering connections across distribution companies and K-Electric.

The review will cover cases where consumers had paid their demand notices before February 9, 2026 and completed the required formalities, including obtaining a net-metering licence, meter replacement or reprogramming and execution of the meter connection order.

PITC has been instructed to check its records and update its billing systems to ensure eligible connections are processed.

Distribution companies will also verify pending applications and payment records to identify cases that meet the February 9 cutoff.

The Power Division said the exercise is aimed at removing unnecessary delays while ensuring that only consumers who meet NEPRA’s requirements receive clearance.

The latest move could help solar consumers whose net-metering connections have remained pending despite completing the required process.
