This reflects continued growth in rooftop solar adoption and a gradual shift away from exclusive grid reliance, according to NEPRA data compiled by Arif Habib Limited.

Overall power generation in the month grew 0.8% year-on-year. The trend underscores rising consumer interest in self-generation as power tariffs remain elevated
