ISLAMABAD: In a decisive move to address concerns over new regulations affecting solar energy users, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday directed the Power Division to urgently file a review appeal with the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA).
The prime minister’s directive follows the introduction of new solar energy regulations, which have raised widespread concerns about their potential impact on both existing users and the broader energy market.
During a high-level meeting, Prime minister Sharif emphasised the need for immediate action to protect the interests of the 466,000 solar energy consumers currently active across the country. He expressed particular concern over the possibility of these users’ contracts being negatively affected by the new regulations, which could lead to higher financial burdens for those who have already invested in solar energy infrastructure.
