ISLAMABAD, : Parliamentary Secretary for Information and Broadcasting, Barrister Danyal Chaudhry, has emphasized the critical importance of parliamentary oversight regarding the newly introduced NEPRA Prosumer Regulations 2026, which carry far-reaching implications for solarized consumers, renewable energy adoption, and Pakistan’s international climate commitments. “The surge in rooftop solar adoption reflects public demand for affordable and reliable electricity. Experts also shed light on potential risks, including reduced solar uptake and the possibility of consumers defecting from the national grid altogether. He underscored that informed parliamentary engagement on this issue is essential to ensure that Pakistan’s energy policies align with both national interests and international commitments to clean energy transition. As we navigate this energy transition, we must ensure that regulations encourage renewable energy adoption rather than discourage it, and that consumers are treated fairly while maintaining grid stability”.
