Government’s Drastic Changes to Net Metering Policy: How Voltaic Power’s Premium Hybrid 2.0 Provides a Solution

The government of Pakistan has introduced drastic changes to the net metering policy, leaving many rooftop solar panel owners in a difficult position. Under the new policy, solar consumers will be forced to sell electricity back to the grid at a drastically reduced buyback rate of Rs10 per unit, while buying power from the national grid at Rs65 per unit — a 550% price difference. This sharp disparity in rates significantly diminishes the financial benefits for solar panel owners, especially with the elimination of the ability to offset imported and exported units.

To add to the complexity, the government has revised various regulations, including the reduction of the net metering contract period from seven years to five, as well as a cap on distributed generation capacity. Furthermore, the policy also introduces high-quality technical specifications for new solar installations, limiting the use of low-quality solar panels.

The changes aim to reduce the burden on non-solar grid consumers, but they create challenges for the growing number of rooftop solar panel owners. Since 2017, rooftop solar installations have surged dramatically, with installed capacity growing from just 5 MW in 2017 to an estimated 4,135 MW by the end of 2024. These changes have left consumers questioning how to continue benefiting from solar energy in the face of such regulatory changes.
