The Power Division recently held a nationwide virtual meeting to assess complaints of unusually high electricity bills issued in June and the prevailing load shedding across the country.
The meeting, conducted via Zoom, was chaired by Power Division Secretary Mirana Mahrukh and attended by senior ministry officials, divisional commissioners, deputy commissioners (DCs) from across the country, and representatives of electricity distribution utilities and companies.
During the meeting, officials sought to identify the reasons behind complaints of abnormally high electricity bills and gathered field-level feedback on load shedding. The latest progress on the installation of net meters under rooftop solar systems was also reviewed.
Officials noted that a significant number of electricity consumers complained through the media and social media about receiving unusually high bills for June.
