Pakistan allocates 2,000 megawatts of electricity to bitcoin mining, AI data centres
pakistan has announced a plan to allocate 2,000 megawatts of electricity specifically for bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence (AI) data centres. The initiative is part of the government’s strategy to make use of surplus energy and tap into the rapidly growing digital economy.
According to officials, the electricity will be provided from underutilized power plants, aiming to convert this idle capacity into economic activity. This move comes as Pakistan faces a power surplus in some regions and is seeking innovative ways to attract investment in technology and digital infrastructure.
The decision aligns with the country’s ambition to diversify its economic base and explore new revenue streams through advanced technologies. Authorities emphasized that by dedicating this energy to high-tech industries, Pakistan could generate employment, boost foreign investment, and improve its digital capabilities.
Regulatory frameworks are expected to be developed to oversee and facilitate the rollout of bitcoin mining and AI data operations, ensuring transparency and sustainability.
