National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) has published proposed
revisions to its feed-in tariffs (FiTs) for solar energy projects of between
1-100MW capacity.

The South region
includes the whole of Sindh and Baluchistan Provinces and South Punjab while
the rest fo Pakistan's provinces account for the North.
NEPRA will now
consider whether to determine a new upfront tariff for solar power projects or
to determine a benchmark levelized tariff for competitive bidding by the
relevant agency, and whether the proposed costs are reasonable.
Stakeholders now
have less than two weeks to provide an intervention to the proposals. A hearing
will also be held on 21 July in Islamabad.
