ISLAMABAD: The Power Division has ordered electricity distribution companies and the Power Information Technology Company (PITC) to verify and process pending net-metering applications that meet the February 9, 2026 cut-off requirements.
The latest instructions follow a National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) directive covering consumers whose connections remained pending despite completion of required formalities under the previous net-metering framework.
The Power Division said eligibility would depend particularly on verifiable payment of a demand notice before February 9. Relevant cases may also involve consumers who had received licences, completed meter replacement or reprogramming, or had meter connection orders issued before the cut-off.

PITC has been instructed to review its billing systems and software and update qualifying connections that have completed the required formalities. The company’s official name is Power Information Technology Company, rather than “Pakistan Information Technology Company” as stated in the supplied material.
NEPRA had earlier told PITC, DISCOs and K-Electric to check their records after finding that some connections completed under the 2015 net-metering regulations had still not been reflected in billing systems.
The issue follows the introduction of NEPRA’s Prosumer Regulations, 2026, notified on February 9. In February, the federal government said 5,165 applications received by February 8 would be processed under the previous framework, representing about 250.8 MW of proposed capacity.
The Power Division said it would monitor implementation across DISCOs and described the verification exercise as intended to clear genuine pending cases without unnecessary procedural delays.
