Islamabad, June 19, 2025: The Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) has introduced a significant concession plan for large-scale commercial and industrial users shifting to solar power systems.
In a fresh directive released by Director Customer Services Abbas Ali, LESCO stated that it will no longer mandate the installation of backup meters for these users.
As per the revised policy, users moving to solar setups can now opt for either backup or primary meters for their billing requirements.

This reform is projected to offer notable cost relief. Each user is expected to save around Rs 45,000 on meter setup charges, along with an extra Rs 80,000 concession on AT Boxes. Altogether, this move allows users to save up to Rs 125,000, reducing the overall financial strain of switching to solar energy.
