Energy Minister Awais leghari says Solar Payback of 4-5 years with Rs. 10 a unit is Fair.
With only 280,000 Net meter users (I'm not sure if that includes thousand kw commercial plants) and his statement saying that it's going to put a burden on remaining households connected to the grid.
The minister quoted the wrong figure of Rs. 150 bn spent by the government buying from net-metered users, Ex fin min Miftah Ismail corrected him and said that these are never paid in cash but adjusted for remaining use
IMO, the government is fearing something that only happens in a mature market.
