As stated above, #Pakistan 's electricity grid is in serious trouble post the #solar revolution on last year (almost 30% of total national demand - 11,000MW - added in #rooftop solar in just 9 months in 2024).

So much so that the government has had to cancel or abandon future power projects, and renegotiate standing contracts with IPPs (Independent Power Producers, or private power companies).

I have been warning both friends and family about this, and advising them to ditch mains grid ASAP & behold:

#Pakistan effectively abandons #NetMetering to 'cope' with #Rooftop #solar revolution

Net-billing axed, electricity purchases from solar prosumers capped at roughly a FIFTH of what they sold from the grid, full sales tax (GST) + surcharges  irrespective of net consumption, no tax refunds

This is so stupid lol
