For years, net metering has been a cornerstone of Pakistan’s renewable energy strategy, empowering over 286,000 consumers to generate their own electricity and reduce reliance on the grid. Under this system, households and businesses could offset their nighttime consumption by exporting excess solar energy during the day, effectively balancing their electricity costs. A typical middle-class household with a 10kW solar system, for instance, could generate 1,000 units monthly, consume 650 directly, and export 350 to the grid, significantly reducing their electricity bills.
