巴基斯坦宣布計劃為比特幣採礦和AI數據中心保留2,000兆瓦的電力

以大膽的舉動將巴基斯坦定位為全球數字創新樞紐，巴基斯坦政府宣布了其計劃保留2,000兆瓦（MW）的電力

In a groundbreaking move to establish Pakistan as the global hub for digital ingenuity, the Government of Pakistan is planning to dedicate 2,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity in the pilot phase of a national project to support Bitcoin mining and AI data centers, TechJuice has learned.

為了建立巴基斯坦作為全球數字創新樞紐的開創性舉措，巴基斯坦政府計劃在國家項目的試點階段專用2,000兆瓦（MW）的電力，以支持比特幣採礦和AI數據中心，Techjuice了解到。

This initiative is being spearheaded by the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC), a government-backed organization operating under the Ministry of Finance, as part of its broader agenda to monetize surplus electricity, generate high-tech jobs, attract billions of dollars in foreign direct investment, and yield billions of dollars to the government.

這項倡議由巴基斯坦加密委員會（PCC）率領，這是一個由財政部下運營的政府支持的組織，作為其更廣泛議程的一部分，以使盈餘電力貨幣化，高科技工作，產生高科技工作，吸引數十億美元的外國直接投資，並向政府產生數十億美元的收益。

Announcing this pivotal moment in Pakistan’s digital transformation is Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb. He highlights the economic essence of converting excess energy into innovation, innovation into investment, and finally, investment into international revenue, a unique capability that, in the present global economic landscape, positions Pakistan in an advantageous position.

在巴基斯坦的數字化轉型中宣布這一關鍵時刻是財政部長參議員穆罕默德·奧蘭格茲（Muhammad Aurangzeb）。他強調了將過量能源轉化為創新，創新轉化為投資，最後是投資國際收入的經濟本質，這是一種獨特的能力，在當前的全球經濟格局中，巴基斯坦將巴基斯坦定位為有利的位置。

Pakistan’s economic and geographical attributes ideally place it as a global data hub. Serving as a digital bridge between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, Pakistan’s location is the most strategic in the world for optimal data flow and seamless digital infrastructure.

巴基斯坦的經濟和地理屬性理想地將其視為全球數據中心。巴基斯坦的位置是亞洲，歐洲和中東之間的數字橋樑，是世界上最佳數據流和無縫數字基礎架構的戰略性。

When the PCC was inaugurated earlier this year, there was widespread interest among Bitcoin miners and data infrastructure companies worldwide in setting up operations in Pakistan.

當PCC於今年早些時候開幕時，全球在巴基斯坦建立業務方面的比特幣礦工和數據基礎設施公司都普遍存在興趣。

Now, Pakistan’s untapped power generation capacity is being reallocated to high-value digital assets. AI data centers and Bitcoin mining operations, recognized for their consistent and substantial energy usage, present an ideal use case for this surplus energy.

現在，巴基斯坦未開發的發電能力已重新分配到高價值數字資產。 AI數據中心和比特幣採礦操作以始終如一和大量的能源使用而被認可，為此剩餘能量提供了理想的用例。

The redirection of idle energy, particularly from plants operating below capacity, enables Pakistan to convert a long-standing financial liability into a sustainable opportunity for revenue generation and foreign exchange.

閒置能源的重定向，尤其是從低於容量的工廠中，使巴基斯坦能夠將長期存在的財務責任轉變為可持續的創收和外匯機會。

Highlighting the revolutionary nature of this project, Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council, notes that good governance, openness to foreign investment, and international cooperation could propel Pakistan to become a world crypto and AI powerhouse.

巴基斯坦加密委員會首席執行官比拉爾·本·薩基布（Bilal Bin Saqib）強調了該項目的革命性，並指出，良好的治理，對外國投資的開放和國際合作可以推動巴基斯坦成為世界加密貨幣和AI強國。

In addition to providing access to high-value investment, this energy-backed digital transformation allows the government to generate US dollars in foreign exchange through Bitcoin mining. Moreover, as regulations evolve, Pakistan could officially store Bitcoin in a national wallet, marking a significant shift from selling power in Pakistani Rupees (PKR) to leveraging digital assets for economic stability.

除了提供獲得高價值投資的訪問外，這種能源支持的數字化轉型還使政府能夠通過比特幣挖掘在外匯產生美元。此外，隨著法規的發展，巴基斯坦可以正式將比特幣存儲在國家錢包中，這標誌著從巴基斯坦盧比（PKR）到利用數字資產的經濟穩定性的重大轉變。

With stable and cheap energy, Pakistan presents a highly competitive environment. Unlike India and Singapore, where rising power costs and land constraints limit scalability, the world scene underscores Pakistan’s strategic edge: global supply is around 15 GW, even as demand for AI data centers has soared to over 100 GW.

巴基斯坦憑藉穩定且廉價的能源展示了一個競爭激烈的環境。與印度和新加坡不同，電力成本和土地限制限制了可擴展性，世界舞台強調了巴基斯坦的戰略優勢：全球供應量約為15 gw，即使對AI數據中心的需求飆升至100 GW。

For nations like Pakistan with excess energy, land, and a developing legal framework, this substantial deficit presents a unique opportunity.

對於像巴基斯坦這樣的國家，土地過多，土地和發展法律框架，這種巨大的赤字帶來了獨特的機會。

The arrival of the world’s biggest submarine internet cable has also significantly enhanced the nation’s digital connectivity. Now, Pakistan is a landing point for the Africa-2 Cable Project, a 45,000-kilometer global network spanning 33 nations via 46 landing facilities.

世界上最大的潛艇互聯網電纜的到來也大大提高了美國的數字連接。現在，巴基斯坦是Africa-2電纜項目的登陸點，這是一個45,000公里的全球網絡，通過46個著陸設施跨越了33個國家。

Pakistan, with a population of over 250 million and over 40 million cryptocurrency users, holds great promise to become a regional leader in digital services.

巴基斯坦人口超過2.5億，超過4000萬加密貨幣用戶，擁有巨大的希望成為數字服務的區域領導者。

Local artificial intelligence data centers will not only address increasing concerns about data sovereignty but also strengthen cybersecurity, enhance digital service delivery, and empower national capabilities in AI and cloud infrastructure, which are crucial for technological advancement and economic competitiveness in today’s interconnected world.

本地人工智能數據中心不僅將解決對數據主權的越來越關注，而且還可以增強網絡安全，增強數字服務的交付，並賦予AI和雲基礎設施中的國家能力，這對於當今互連世界中的技術進步和經濟競爭力至關重要。

Anticipated to generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs, these facilities will aid in developing a skilled workforce in data sciences, engineering, and IT, contributing to broader economic growth.

預計這些設施將產生數千個直接和間接的工作，將有助於發展數據科學，工程和IT方面的熟練勞動力，從而為更廣泛的經濟增長做出貢獻。
