巴基斯坦分配2000兆瓦的电力为电力比特币采矿和人工智能数据中心

联邦政府宣布在国家倡议的第一阶段分配2,000兆瓦的电力，以便比特币采矿

The federal government has allocated 2,000 megawatts of electricity in the first phase of an initiative to power Bitcoin mining and Artificial Intelligence (AI) data centres in the country, the Finance Division said on Sunday.

财政部周日表示，联邦政府已在该国为比特币采矿和人工智能（AI）数据中心的第一阶段的第一阶段分配了2,000兆瓦的电力。

The initiative, which is being spearheaded by the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) - a government body operating under the Ministry of Finance, is part of a broader strategy to monetize surplus electricity, create high-tech jobs, attract billions of dollars in foreign direct investment, and generate billions of dollars for the government, it added.

该倡议由巴基斯坦加密委员会（PCC）率领，这是一项在财政部下运作的政府机构，是一项更广泛的战略的一部分，以使盈余电力获利，创造高科技工作，吸引数十亿美元的外国直接投资，并为政府带来数十亿美元的投资。

This strategic allocation marks a pivotal moment in Pakistan’s digital transformation journey, unlocking economic potential by turning excess energy into innovation, investment, and international revenue, said Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb.

财政部长穆罕默德·奥兰奇布（Muhammad Aurangzeb）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，通过将过量的能源变成创新，投资和国际收入来释放经济潜力。

Pakistan is uniquely positioned ”both geographically and economically ”to become a global hub for data centres. 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.

巴基斯坦在地理和经济上都处于独特的位置，成为数据中心的全球枢纽。作为亚洲，欧洲和中东之间的数字桥梁，巴基斯坦为数据流和数字基础设施提供了世界上最具战略意义的地理位置。

Since the inception of the Pakistan Crypto Council, there has been tremendous interest from 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.

自从巴基斯坦加密委员会成立以来，全球比特币矿工和数据基础设施公司一直引起人们的极大兴趣。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。

Pakistan’s underutilised power generation capacity is now being repurposed into a high-value digital asset. AI data centres and Bitcoin mining operations, known for their consistent and heavy energy usage, provide an ideal use case for this surplus. Redirecting idle energy, especially from plants operating below capacity, allows Pakistan to convert a long-standing financial liability into a sustainable, revenue-generating opportunity.

巴基斯坦未充分利用的发电能力现在被重新用于高价值数字资产。人工智能数据中心和比特币采矿操作以始终如一的大能使用而闻名，为此盈余提供了理想的用例。重定向闲置的能源，尤其是从低于容量的工厂中，使巴基斯坦可以将长期存在的财务责任转变为可持续的，创收的机会。

“This initiative is a testament to the government's commitment to unlocking new economic potential and forging strategic partnerships for the nation's prosperity,” the statement said.

声明说：“这项倡议证明了政府致力于释放新的经济潜力并为国家繁荣建立战略伙伴关系的承诺。”

“With proper regulation, transparency, and international collaboration, we envision Pakistan becoming a global crypto and AI powerhouse,” said Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the Pakistan Crypto Council.

巴基斯坦加密委员会首席执行官Bilal Bin Saqib说：“通过适当的法规，透明度和国际合作，我们设想巴基斯坦成为全球加密货币和AI强国。”

This energy-backed digital transformation not only unlocks high-value investment (billions of dollars in FDI) but enables the government to generate foreign exchange in dollar through Bitcoin mining.

这种能源支持的数字转型不仅可以释放高价值投资（数十亿美元的外国直接投资），而且使政府能够通过比特币采矿以美元进行外汇。

Offering stable and affordable energy creates a highly competitive environment for Pakistan compared to regional counterparts like India and Singapore, where rapidly increasing 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为巴基斯坦创造了竞争激烈的环境，在那里，迅速提高了电力成本和土地稀缺性限制可伸缩性。

In the global context, the demand for AI data centres is staggering, with a shortfall of over 90 percent. As the world's largest consumer of Bitcoin, China's miners alone demand approximately 80 GW of power.

在全球背景下，对AI数据中心的需求令人震惊，短缺超过90％。作为世界上最大的比特币消费者，仅中国的矿工就需要大约80 GW的权力。

Despite this, only 15 GW of data centre infrastructure is currently operational worldwide, presenting a massive opportunity for countries like Pakistan to leverage their surplus power, land, and emerging regulatory framework.

尽管如此，目前在全球范围内只有15 GW的数据中心基础设施正在运营，这为巴基斯坦等国家提供了很大的机会，可以利用其盈余权力，土地和新兴的监管框架。

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, has now landed in Pakistan.

通过登陆世界上最大的潜艇互联网电缆的登陆，该国的数字连通性也得到了显着加强。 Africa-2电缆项目是一个45,000公里的全球网络，通过46个着陆站连接了33个国家，现在已经降落在巴基斯坦。

With a population of over 250 million and more than 40 million crypto users, Pakistan is poised for leadership as a regional hub for digital services.

巴基斯坦拥有超过2.5亿和超过4000万加密使用者的人口，有望成为领导力，成为数字服务的区域枢纽。

Establishing local AI data centres 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.

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。
