巴基斯坦計劃將2,000兆瓦的電力分配給比特幣採礦和AI數據中心

在將巴基斯坦定位為全球數字創新樞紐的大膽步驟中，巴基斯坦政府揭幕了為2,000兆瓦（MW）分配電力的計劃

The Pakistani government is planning to allocate 2,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity in the initial phase of a project to support Bitcoin mining and AI-driven data centers, as part of a broader strategy by the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) to monetize surplus electricity, create high-tech jobs, and attract billions of dollars in foreign direct investment.

巴基斯坦政府計劃在一個項目的初始階段分配2,000兆瓦（MW）的電力，以支持比特幣挖掘和AI驅動的數據中心，這是巴基斯坦加密省會（PCC）更廣泛策略的一部分，以賺取剩餘的電力，創造數十億美元的外國直接投資。

This initiative is being undertaken as part of the government’s broader effort to generate billions of dollars for the government. The crypto council, which comes under the Ministry of Finance, will be spearheading this initiative.

這項倡議是作為政府為政府創造數十億美元的廣泛努力的一部分而採取的。在財政部之下的加密委員會將率領這項倡議。

Announcing this strategic allocation, Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb highlighted the pivotal moment in Pakistan’s digital transformation.

財政部長參議員穆罕默德·奧蘭茲布（Muhammad Aurangzeb）宣布了這一戰略分配，強調了巴基斯坦數字化轉型的關鍵時刻。

“This is a pivotal moment in Pakistan’s economic transformation. We are taking a bold step today to unlock new avenues of prosperity. We will be allocating 2,000 MW of electricity, in the first phase, to support crypto mining and AI data centers. This is part of a broader strategy by the Pakistan Crypto Council to monetize our surplus electricity, create high-tech jobs, and attract billions in foreign direct investment. The goal is to generate billions of dollars in revenue for the government and propel Pakistan into a regional hub for digital innovation,” the minister said.

“這是巴基斯坦經濟轉變中的關鍵時刻。我們今天邁出了大膽的一步，以釋放新的繁榮途徑。我們將在第一階段分配2,000兆瓦的電力，以支持加密貨幣挖掘和AI數據中心。這是巴基斯坦加油理委員會的更廣泛策略的一部分，以使我們的投資統計較高，以使我們的投資量為高位，並吸引了高位的電視轉播，並在統計上啟動了電視轉播，並吸引了高位的電視轉播，並促進了電視轉播的責任。這位部長說：“為政府帶來了數十億美元的收入，並將巴基斯坦推向了數字創新的區域樞紐。 ”

He added that Pakistan is uniquely positioned, both geographically and economically, to become a global hub for data centers. As a digital bridge between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, Pakistan offers the most strategic location in the world for data flow and digital infrastructure.

他補充說，在地理和經濟上，巴基斯坦在地理和經濟上都是獨特的地位，成為數據中心的全球樞紐。作為亞洲，歐洲和中東之間的數字橋樑，巴基斯坦為數據流和數字基礎設施提供了世界上最具戰略意義的地理位置。

Since the formation of the Pakistan Crypto Council, there has been enormous interest from global Bitcoin miners and data infrastructure companies in investing in Pakistan. Several international firms have already visited the country for exploratory discussions.

自從巴基斯坦加密委員會成立以來，全球比特幣礦工和數據基礎設施公司就在巴基斯坦進行投資引起了極大的興趣。幾家國際公司已經訪問了該國進行探索性討論。

Following this landmark announcement, more global players are expected to visit in the coming weeks to finalize investment plans in various stages of the data center and crypto mining projects.

在此具有里程碑意義的公告之後，預計將在接下來的幾週內訪問更多的全球參與者，以在數據中心和加密礦業項目的各個階段完成投資計劃。

Pakistan is now redirecting its underutilized power generation capacity into a high-value use case with the integration of AI data centers and Bitcoin mining operations, both known for their consistent and large-scale energy usage.

巴基斯坦現在將其未充分利用的發電能力重新定向到高價值用例中，並集成了人工智能數據中心和比特幣採礦業務，這些操作以其一致和大規模的能源使用而聞名。

This initiative presents a unique opportunity to convert a long-standing financial liability into a sustainable, revenue-generating asset for Pakistan.

這項計劃為將長期的財務責任轉變為巴基斯坦可持續的，收入的資產的獨特機會。

The country’s move to support Bitcoin mining and AI data centers comes amid a broader government strategy to monetize surplus electricity.

該國支持比特幣採礦和人工智能數據中心的舉動，這是在政府的更廣泛的戰略中獲取盈餘電力的更廣泛的戰略。

Highlighting the initiative, Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council, stated that with proper regulation, transparency, and international collaboration, Pakistan can become a global 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）強調了這項倡議，他說，通過適當的監管，透明度和國際合作，巴基斯坦可以成為全球加密貨幣和人工智能強國。

“This energy-backed digital transformation will unlock high-value investment into Pakistan. We will see billions of dollars flowing into the country as we build out the infrastructure for crypto mining and AI data centers. In addition, the government will be able to generate foreign exchange revenue in USD from Bitcoin mining.

“這種能源支持的數字化轉型將向巴基斯坦開放高價值的投資。當我們建立加密礦業和AI數據中心的基礎設施時，我們將看到數十億美元流入該國。此外，政府還將能夠從比特幣採礦中產生USD的外匯交易收入。

As the relevant regulations evolve, we will see Pakistan accumulating Bitcoin directly into a national wallet. This marks a monumental shift from selling power in PKR to leveraging digital assets for Pakistan’s long-term economic stability and financial resilience in the global digital economy.”

隨著相關法規的發展，我們將看到巴基斯坦將比特幣直接累積到國家錢包中。這標誌著從PKR的銷售能力到利用數字資產來實現巴基斯坦在全球數字經濟中的長期經濟穩定和財務韌性的巨大轉變。 ”

Pakistan’s competitive edge over regional tech markets like India and Singapore, where rising power costs and land scarcity limit scalability, is highlighted by its offering of stable and affordable energy.

巴基斯坦在印度和新加坡等地區科技市場上的競爭優勢，在這裡，電力成本和土地稀缺性限制可擴展性上升，其提供了穩定且負擔得起的能源。

The global context of surging AI data center demand, to over 100 GW, versus limited global supply, currently at 15 GW, presents a huge opportunity for countries like Pakistan with surplus power, land, and an emerging regulatory framework to capitalize on.

AI數據中心需求激增的全球背景，超過100 GW，與有限的全球供應（目前為15 GW）為擁有盈餘權力，土地和新興的監管框架等國家提供了巨大的機會，可以將其大寫。

Pakistan’s digital connectivity has also been significantly enhanced with the landing of the world’s largest submarine internet cable, the Africa-2 Cable Project, a 45,000-kilometre global network connecting 33 countries through 46 landing stations, in Pakistan.

巴基斯坦的數字連通性也隨著世界上最大的潛艇互聯網電纜的登陸，非洲-2電纜項目的登陸，這是一個45,000公里的全球網絡，通過巴基斯坦的46個著陸站連接了33個國家 /地區。

This milestone expands Pakistan’s internet bandwidth, reduces latency, and increases resilience with redundant fiber routes, crucial for ensuring high availability and operational continuity of the AI data centers.

這個里程碑擴大了巴基斯坦的互聯網帶寬，減少了潛伏期，並通過冗餘纖維路線提高了彈性，這對於確保AI數據中心的高可用性和操作連續性至關重要。

With a population of over 250 million and more than 40 million crypto users, Pakistan is poised for leadership in digital services within the region.

巴基斯坦擁有超過2.5億和超過4000萬加密使用者的人口，有望在該地區的數字服務領導。

The establishment of local AI data centers will address rising concerns over data sovereignty, enhance cybersecurity, improve digital service delivery, and empower national capabilities in AI and cloud infrastructure.

當地AI數據中心的建立將解決對數據主權，增強網絡安全，改善數字服務交付的問題的不斷增加，並賦予AI和雲基礎架構中的國家能力。

These centers are expected to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs, fostering the development of a skilled workforce in engineering, IT, and data sciences.

預計這些中心將創造數千個直接和間接的工作，從而促進工程，IT和數據科學領域的熟練勞動力的發展。

This announcement marks only the first phase of a broader, multi-stage digital infrastructure rollout.

該公告僅標誌著更廣泛的多階段數字基礎設施推出的第一階段。

Future developments will include renewable energy-powered facilities leveraging Pakistan’s immense wind (50,000 MW potential in the Gharo-Keti Bandar corridor), solar, and hydropower resources; strategic international partnerships with leading blockchain and AI companies; and the establishment of fintech and innovation hubs.

未來的發展將包括可再生能源的設施，利用巴基斯坦的巨大風（Gharo-Keti Bandar走廊的50,000兆瓦潛力），太陽能和水力發電資源；與領先區塊鍊和AI公司建立戰略性國際合作夥伴關係；以及建立金融科技和創新樞紐。

These efforts will be complemented by proposed incentives such as tax holidays, customs duty exemptions on equipment, and reduced taxes for AI infrastructure developers.

這些努力將得到提出的激勵措施，例如稅收假期，設備豁免海關稅以及減少對AI基礎設施開發商的稅款。
