巴基斯坦将2,000兆瓦的电力分配给比特币采矿和AI数据中心

此举旨在将未充分利用的发电能力重新利用为高价值的数字资产，并将盈余电力获利

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, aiming to repurpose the country's unutilized power generation capacity into a high-value digital asset.

巴基斯坦政府在国家针对比特币采矿和人工智能（AI）数据中心的第一阶段中分配了2,000兆瓦（MW）的电力，旨在将该国未利用的发电能力重新利用为高价值数字资产。

This move, which also includes plans to attract billions of dollars in foreign direct investment and generate significant revenue for the government, was announced by the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC), a government-backed body launched to regulate and integrate blockchain technology and digital assets into the country's financial landscape.

巴基斯坦加密委员会（PCC）宣布了这一举动，包括吸引数十亿美元的外国直接投资并为政府带来可观的收入，这是一个政府支持的机构，该机构旨在规范和整合区块链技术和数字资产融入该国的金融景观。

The council, which comes under the Ministry of Finance, is aiming to bring together the country's leading entrepreneurs, academics, and government officials to oversee this initiative. Entrepreneur Bilal Bin Saqib has been appointed as the chief adviser to the finance minister on the council.

该理事会属于财政部，旨在将该国的主要企业家，学者和政府官员汇集在一起​​，以监督这项倡议。企业家Bilal Bin Saqib已被任命为理事会财政部长的首席顾问。

Announcing this allocation, Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb described it as a pivotal moment in Pakistan's digital transformation.

财政部长穆罕默德·奥兰泽布（Muhammad Aurangzeb）宣布了这种分配，将其描述为巴基斯坦数字化转型的关键时刻。

"We are strategically positioned as a digital bridge between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, making us an ideal location for data flow and digital infrastructure," the minister said.

这位部长说：“我们在战略上是亚洲，欧洲和中东之间的数字桥梁，使我们成为数据流和数字基础设施的理想场所。”

"This initiative will attract global Bitcoin miners and leading AI firms to Pakistan. Several international companies are already engaged in exploratory discussions."

“这项倡议将吸引全球比特币矿工，并将AI公司带到巴基斯坦。几家国际公司已经在进行探索性讨论。”

To fuel these operations, the government plans to utilize surplus electricity, particularly from coal-based power plants operating below capacity, such as Sahiwal, China Hub, and Port Qasim. This approach aims to convert idle energy, which Aurangzeb described as a financial liability, into a sustainable and revenue-generating opportunity.

为了加油这些行动，政府计划利用多余的电力，尤其是从低于萨希瓦尔，中国枢纽和卡西姆港等容量下运营的煤炭电厂。这种方法旨在将Aurangzeb称为财务责任的空闲能源转变为可持续和创收的机会。

Highlighting Pakistan's competitive advantages over regional counterparts like India and Singapore, the minister noted the country's stability, affordable energy, and available land.

这位部长强调了巴基斯坦在印度和新加坡等地区的竞争优势，指出了该国的稳定性，负担得起的能源和可用土地。

"We are offering a unique proposition with tax incentives and customs duty exemptions to encourage foreign investment in this domain," he added.

他补充说：“我们提供了一个独特的主张，并提供税收优惠和海关税收豁免，以鼓励外国对该领域的投资。”

As this initiative progresses, Pakistan aims to incorporate renewable energy sources for these data centers and mining operations, further balancing growth with environmental responsibility. There are also plans for fintech and innovation hubs to support this digital ecosystem.

随着这项倡议的进行，巴基斯坦的目标是为这些数据中心和采矿业务纳入可再生能源，从而进一步平衡增长与环境责任。还计划了金融科技和创新中心来支持该数字生态系统。

In the long term, this initiative could lead to the accumulation of Bitcoin directly into a national wallet, marking a shift from selling power in Pakistani Rupees to leveraging digital assets for economic stability and foreign exchange generation in U.S. dollars, according to PCC CEO Bilal Bin Saqib.

从长远来看，这项倡议可能会导致比特币直接积累到国家钱包中，这标志着从巴基斯坦卢比的销售权力转变为利用数字资产以获得经济稳定和以美元的形式产生外汇。
