政府在历史性数字班次中分配了2,000兆瓦的比特币采矿和AI数据中心

这项雄心勃勃的倡议由巴基斯坦加密委员会（PCC）率领，这是财政部领导下的政府支持机构，这是货币盈余电力的更广泛战略的一部分

The Government of Pakistan has allocated 2,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity in the first phase of a national initiative to power Bitcoin mining and Artificial Intelligence (AI) data centers.

巴基斯坦政府在国家针对比特币采矿和人工智能（AI）数据中心的国家计划的第一阶段中分配了2,000兆瓦（MW）的电力。

This ambitious initiative is being spearheaded by the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC)—a government-backed body operating under the Ministry of Finance—as part of a broader strategy to monetise surplus electricity, generate billions of dollars in revenue for the government, and attract billions of dollars in foreign direct investment to create high-tech jobs.

这项雄心勃勃的倡议是由巴基斯坦加密委员会（PCC）率领的，这是一个由财政部下运营的政府支持机构，这是一项更广泛的战略，以兑换盈余电力，为政府带来数十亿美元的收入，并吸引数十亿美元的外国直接投资，以创造高薪工作。

Announcing this historic initiative, Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb said that this strategic allocation marks a pivotal moment in Pakistan’s digital transformation journey.

财政部长参议员穆罕默德·奥兰泽布（Muhammad Aurangzeb）宣布这一历史性倡议表示，这种战略分配标志着巴基斯坦数字化转型之旅的关键时刻。

“We are converting excess energy into innovation, investment, and international revenue. As a nation, we can achieve far greater heights if we dare to dream big and think differently. This initiative will unlock new possibilities for economic prosperity and technological leadership,” the minister stated.

部长说：“我们正在将多余的能源转变为创新，投资和国际收入。作为一个国家，如果我们敢于梦想大事和不同的思考，我们就可以达到更高的高度。这项倡议将为经济繁荣和技术领导力解开新的可能性。”

Government Allocates 2,000MW for Bitcoin Mining and AI Data Centers in Historic Digital Shift

政府在历史性数字班次中分配了2,000兆瓦的比特币采矿和AI数据中心

Pakistan is uniquely positioned—both geographically and economically—to become a global hub for data centers. Serving as a digital bridge between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East renders Pakistan the most strategic location in the world for optimal data flow and digital infrastructure deployment.

巴基斯坦在地理和经济上都是独特的地位，以成为数据中心的全球枢纽。充当亚洲，欧洲和中东之间的数字桥梁，使巴基斯坦成为世界上最具战略意义的地理位置，用于最佳数据流和数字基础设施部署。

Since the establishment of the Pakistan Crypto Council, there has been an outpouring of interest from leading global Bitcoin miners and data infrastructure companies. Several international firms have already visited the country for exploratory discussions, and following this landmark announcement, more global players are expected to visit in the coming weeks.

自从建立巴基斯坦加密委员会以来，领先的全球比特币矿工和数据基础设施公司引起了人们的兴趣。几家国际公司已经访问了该国进行探索性讨论，并在此具有里程碑意义的公告之后，预计将在未来几周内访问更多的全球参与者。

Now, a portion of this idle energy—particularly from plants operating below capacity—will be redirected to create a new revenue stream and convert a long-standing financial liability into a sustainable opportunity.

现在，这种闲置能源的一部分（尤其是来自低于容量的工厂）将重定向以创造新的收入来源，并将长期存在的财务责任转变为可持续的机会。

Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council, highlighted the transformative potential of this initiative.

巴基斯坦加密委员会首席执行官Bilal Bin Saqib强调了这项倡议的变革潜力。

“With the right regulations in place to ensure transparency and international collaboration, Pakistan has the capability to become a global crypto and AI powerhouse. This isn’t about pouring money into a black hole; it’s about generating revenue for the government and the people of Pakistan. These operations will generate foreign exchange in USD through Bitcoin mining. As regulations evolve, we can begin accumulating Bitcoin directly into a national wallet—shifting from selling power in PKR to building wealth through digital assets,” explained Saqib.

“有了适当的法规来确保透明度和国际合作，巴基斯坦有能力成为全球加密和人工智能强国。这不是要将钱倒入一个黑洞中；这是关于为巴基斯坦的政府和人民创造收入。这些业务这些业务将通过Bitcoin intercoluntion intercoles累积。 PKR通过数字资产来建立财富，” Saqib解释说。

Offering stable and affordable energy presents a highly competitive environment compared to regional counterparts like India and Singapore, where rising power costs and land scarcity limit scalability.

与印度和新加坡等地区同行相比，提供稳定且负担得起的能源的环境具有竞争激烈的环境，这些地区的电力成本和土地稀缺性限制了可扩展性。

Pakistan’s strategic advantage is further underscored by the global context: while AI data center demand has soared to over 100 GW, global supply remains around 15 GW. This massive shortfall creates an unprecedented opportunity for countries like Pakistan with surplus power, land, and an emerging regulatory framework.

巴基斯坦的战略优势进一步强调了全球环境：尽管AI数据中心的需求已经飙升至100 gw，但全球供应量仍约为15 gw。这一巨大的短缺为拥有盈余权力，土地和新兴监管框架等巴基斯坦等国家带来了前所未有的机会。

The country’s digital connectivity has also been significantly strengthened by 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.

通过世界上最大的潜艇互联网电缆的登陆（非洲-2电缆项目，这是一个45,000公里的全球网络，通过46个登陆站连接33个国家 /地区的45,000公里全球网络，该国的数字连通性也得到了显着加强。

This cable, which now connects Pakistan to a vast digital network, will massively boost the country’s internet bandwidth, reduce latency, and enhance resilience through redundant fiber routes—all crucial for ensuring high availability and operational continuity of AI data centers.

现在将巴基斯坦连接到庞大的数字网络的电缆将大大提高该国的互联网带宽，减少潜伏期并通过冗余纤维路线增强弹性，这对于确保AI数据中心的高可用性和操作连续性至关重要。

With a population of over 250 million and more than 40 million crypto users, Pakistan is poised for leadership in the emerging landscape of digital services. Establishing local AI data centers will not only address growing concerns around data sovereignty but will also enhance cybersecurity, improve digital service delivery, and empower national capabilities in AI and cloud infrastructure. These centers are expected to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs, catalyzing the development of a skilled workforce in engineering, IT, and data sciences.

巴基斯坦拥有超过2.5亿和超过4000万加密使用者的人口，有望在数字服务的新兴景观中领导。建立本地AI数据中心不仅将解决有关数据主权的日益关注，而且还将提高网络安全，改善数字服务的交付，并赋予AI和云基础架构中的国家能力。预计这些中心将创造数千个直接和间接的工作，从而促进工程，IT和数据科学领域的熟练劳动力的发展。

This announcement marks only the first phase of a broader, multi-stage digital infrastructure rollout. Future developments are expected to 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. These efforts will be complemented by proposed incentives such as tax holidays, customs duty exemptions on equipment, and reduced taxes for AI infrastructure developers.

该公告仅标志着更广泛的多阶段数字基础设施推出的第一阶段。预计未来的发展包括可再生能源动力的设施，即巴基斯坦的巨大风（Gharo-keti Bandar走廊的50,000兆瓦潜力），太阳能和水力发电资源 - 与领先的区块链和AI公司的战略伙伴关系，以及建立了金融科和创新型浴缸。这些努力将得到提出的激励措施，例如税收假期，设备豁免海关税以及减少对AI基础设施开发商的税款。

Pakistan’s combination of surplus power, geographic advantage, advanced subsea cable connectivity, renewable energy potential, and a large, digitally engaged population creates a compelling case for becoming a regional epicenter of Web3, AI, and digital innovation.

巴基斯坦的盈余功率，地理优势，先进的海底电缆连接，可再生能源潜力以及数字化参与的人口的结合为成为Web3，AI和数字创新的区域中心创造了令人信服的案例。

With the right incentives, strategic investments, and collaborative partnerships, Pakistan is positioning itself not only as a destination for global digital infrastructure but also as a sovereign economy that can accumulate digital assets, export digital services, and lead in the next generation of technological transformation.

凭借正确的激励措施，战略投资和合作伙伴关系，巴基斯坦不仅将自己定位为全球数字基础设施的目的地，而且还可以作为一个可以积累数字资产，出口数字服务并领导下一代技术转型的主权经济。
