巴基斯坦宣布计划为比特币采矿和AI数据中心保留2,000兆瓦的电力

以大胆的举动将巴基斯坦定位为全球数字创新枢纽，巴基斯坦政府宣布了其计划保留2,000兆瓦（MW）的电力

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.

为了建立巴基斯坦作为全球数字创新枢纽的开创性举措，巴基斯坦政府计划在国家项目的试点阶段专用2,000兆瓦（MW）的电力，以支持比特币采矿和AI数据中心，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.

这项倡议由巴基斯坦加密委员会（PCC）率领，这是一个由财政部下运营的政府支持的组织，作为其更广泛议程的一部分，以使盈余电力货币化，高科技工作，产生高科技工作，吸引数十亿美元的外国直接投资，并向政府产生数十亿美元的收益。

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.

在巴基斯坦的数字化转型中宣布这一关键时刻是财政部长参议员穆罕默德·奥兰格兹（Muhammad Aurangzeb）。他强调了将过量能源转化为创新，创新转化为投资，最后是投资国际收入的经济本质，这是一种独特的能力，在当前的全球经济格局中，巴基斯坦将巴基斯坦定位为有利的位置。

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.

巴基斯坦的经济和地理属性理想地将其视为全球数据中心。巴基斯坦的位置是亚洲，欧洲和中东之间的数字桥梁，是世界上最佳数据流和无缝数字基础架构的战略性。

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.

当PCC于今年早些时候开幕时，全球在巴基斯坦建立业务方面的比特币矿工和数据基础设施公司都普遍存在兴趣。

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.

现在，巴基斯坦未开发的发电能力已重新分配到高价值数字资产。 AI数据中心和比特币采矿操作以始终如一和大量的能源使用而被认可，为此剩余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.

闲置能源的重定向，尤其是从低于容量的工厂中，使巴基斯坦能够将长期存在的财务责任转变为可持续的创收和外汇机会。

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.

巴基斯坦加密委员会首席执行官比拉尔·本·萨基布（Bilal Bin Saqib）强调了该项目的革命性，并指出，良好的治理，对外国投资的开放和国际合作可以推动巴基斯坦成为世界加密货币和AI强国。

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.

除了提供获得高价值投资的访问外，这种能源支持的数字化转型还使政府能够通过比特币挖掘在外汇产生美元。此外，随着法规的发展，巴基斯坦可以正式将比特币存储在国家钱包中，这标志着从巴基斯坦卢比（PKR）到利用数字资产的经济稳定性的重大转变。

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.

巴基斯坦凭借稳定且廉价的能源展示了一个竞争激烈的环境。与印度和新加坡不同，电力成本和土地限制限制了可扩展性，世界舞台强调了巴基斯坦的战略优势：全球供应量约为15 gw，即使对AI数据中心的需求飙升至100 GW。

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

对于像巴基斯坦这样的国家，土地过多，土地和发展法律框架，这种巨大的赤字带来了独特的机会。

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.

世界上最大的潜艇互联网电缆的到来也大大提高了美国的数字连接。现在，巴基斯坦是Africa-2电缆项目的登陆点，这是一个45,000公里的全球网络，通过46个着陆设施跨越了33个国家。

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.

巴基斯坦人口超过2.5亿，超过4000万加密货币用户，拥有巨大的希望成为数字服务的区域领导者。

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.

本地人工智能数据中心不仅将解决对数据主权的越来越关注，而且还可以增强网络安全，增强数字服务的交付，并赋予AI和云基础设施中的国家能力，这对于当今互连世界中的技术进步和经济竞争力至关重要。

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.

预计这些设施将产生数千个直接和间接的工作，将有助于发展数据科学，工程和IT方面的熟练劳动力，从而为更广泛的经济增长做出贡献。
