Experts call cap on solar energy ‘insane’

While criticising the government for reversal of its net metering policy, energy experts have described the move to limit the rollout of solar energy as “insane”. Speaking at a roundtable on solar net metering, the experts demanded an urgent holistic revamp of the existing policy for promoting solar energy as the cheapest electricity resource amid growing consumer demand. The Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) and the Energy Update jointly organised the roundtable discussion on “Solar net metering conundrum: adapting solar net metering to evolving market dynamics in Pakistan”.
