May 16, 2024 (MLN): Minister for Power Awais Leghari on Wednesday ruled out any plans of the government to impose taxation on solar net metering, according to the Information Ministry's latest update.

Talking to a private news channel, he said that the government will not withdraw its regulations related to net metering for already installed solar systems.

He said net metering is a billing tool that allows consumers to send excess energy generated by solar panels to the local grid in exchange for credits to monthly electric bills.

He urged people to resort to solar power to reduce the load on the power generation system.
