In Pakistan, rising electricity tariffs are pushing more homeowners and businesses to explore solar power. If you're a consumer of the Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO), net metering is your gateway to reducing monthly bills while contributing clean energy back to the national grid. This guide walks you through the latest IESCO net metering rates in 2025 and how to benefit from this progressive energy policy.

🔋 What Is Net Metering?

Net metering is a billing mechanism that allows users who generate electricity (through solar panels) to send excess power back to the grid. In return, they receive credits that reduce future electricity bills. IESCO supports net metering under NEPRA regulations, and the program continues to evolve in 2025.
