ISLAMABAD, Jan 28 (APP):Federal Minister for Power Division Sardar Awais Ahmed Khan Leghari has taken notice of complaints regarding non-crediting of net metering users’ units under Power Planning and Monitoring Company (PPMC) instructions.
Following the minister’s directives, PPMC promptly reviewed the instructions sent to all power distribution companies (DISCOs) regarding the credit of units of net metering consumers. The issue of crediting units is resolved after issuance of revised directives, said a statement issued on Wednesday.
