Pakistan has taken a bold step to strengthen its digital economy by setting aside 2,000 megawatts of extra electricity for Bitcoin mining and AI data centers. This move is part of a new plan led by the Pakistan Crypto Council and supported by the Finance Ministry.
The goal is to use the country’s unused electricity in a productive way, attract international investment, and turn Pakistan into a major technology center in the region. By using this surplus energy, the country hopes to create new jobs, increase income, and take advantage of global interest in cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence.
Pakistan’s growing use of cryptocurrency, better internet access, and good location between major tech markets make it an ideal place for data centers and blockchain-related projects. These factors are expected to draw attention from both local and foreign investors.
The government is also planning for the future. There are discussions about using renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, to power these mining and AI facilities. This would make the initiative more environmentally friendly and sustainable in the long run.
To encourage investment, Pakistan may also offer special incentives to tech companies and startups in this field.
