The Central Power Purchasing Agency (CPPA-G) has suggested the government to impose a tax on both residential and commercial consumers who have installed solar systems.<\/p>\n
Sources told that the CPPA-G has sent a summary in this regard to the Ministry of Energy (Power Division).<\/p>\n
CPPA-G has proposed imposing a tax of Rs. 2,000 per kilowatt on both residential and commercial solar panel users.<\/p>\n
According to sources, users using 12-kilowatt panels will have to pay tax to the tune of Rs. 24,000. The ministry has sent the summary to the prime minister for approval.<\/p>\n
Sources further said that the summary for rationalization of buyback rates of net metering electricity is also under consideration.<\/p>\n
Once the summary is approved, an application will be lodged with the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) to decrease the buyback rates of net metering electricity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
