“Hopefully, the NEPRA will give decisions for the benefit of the country and the consumers,” he said.
The energy minister said that the net-metering policy has been reviewed again. “The stakeholders have been consulted over the policy,” he said. “If the policy is approved, it will come into force within one month,” the minister said.

He said the government is focusing on renewable energy and that they have closed down three thousand megawatts of furnace oil-based plants in the past few months.
