巴基斯坦计划将2,000兆瓦的电力分配给比特币采矿和AI数据中心

在将巴基斯坦定位为全球数字创新枢纽的大胆步骤中，巴基斯坦政府揭幕了为2,000兆瓦（MW）分配电力的计划

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.

巴基斯坦政府计划在一个项目的初始阶段分配2,000兆瓦（MW）的电力，以支持比特币挖掘和AI驱动的数据中心，这是巴基斯坦加密省会（PCC）更广泛策略的一部分，以赚取剩余的电力，创造数十亿美元的外国直接投资。

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.

这项倡议是作为政府为政府创造数十亿美元的广泛努力的一部分而采取的。在财政部之下的加密委员会将率领这项倡议。

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

财政部长参议员穆罕默德·奥兰兹布（Muhammad Aurangzeb）宣布了这一战略分配，强调了巴基斯坦数字化转型的关键时刻。

“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.

“这是巴基斯坦经济转变中的关键时刻。我们今天迈出了大胆的一步，以释放新的繁荣途径。我们将在第一阶段分配2,000兆瓦的电力，以支持加密货币挖掘和AI数据中心。这是巴基斯坦加油理委员会的更广泛策略的一部分，以使我们的投资统计较高，以使我们的投资量为高位，并吸引了高位的电视转播，并在统计上启动了电视转播，并吸引了高位的电视转播，并促进了电视转播的责任。这位部长说：“为政府带来了数十亿美元的收入，并将巴基斯坦推向了数字创新的区域枢纽。”

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.

他补充说，在地理和经济上，巴基斯坦在地理和经济上都是独特的地位，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 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就在巴基斯坦进行投资引起了极大的兴趣。几家国际公司已经访问了该国进行探索性讨论。

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.

在此具有里程碑意义的公告之后，预计将在接下来的几周内访问更多的全球参与者，以在数据中心和加密矿业项目的各个阶段完成投资计划。

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.

巴基斯坦现在将其未充分利用的发电能力重新定向到高价值用例中，并集成了人工智能数据中心和比特币采矿业务，这些操作以其一致和大规模的能源使用而闻名。

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

这项计划为将长期的财务责任转变为巴基斯坦可持续的，收入的资产的独特机会。

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

该国支持比特币采矿和人工智能数据中心的举动，这是在政府的更广泛的战略中获取盈余电力的更广泛的战略。

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.

巴基斯坦加密委员会首席执行官比拉尔·本·萨基布（Bilal Bin Saqib）强调了这项倡议，他说，通过适当的监管，透明度和国际合作，巴基斯坦可以成为全球加密货币和人工智能强国。

“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.

“这种能源支持的数字化转型将向巴基斯坦开放高价值的投资。当我们建立加密矿业和AI数据中心的基础设施时，我们将看到数十亿美元流入该国。此外，政府还将能够从比特币采矿中产生USD的外汇交易收入。

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.”

随着相关法规的发展，我们将看到巴基斯坦将比特币直接累积到国家钱包中。这标志着从PKR的销售能力到利用数字资产来实现巴基斯坦在全球数字经济中的长期经济稳定和财务韧性的巨大转变。”

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区科技市场上的竞争优势，在这里，电力成本和土地稀缺性限制可扩展性上升，其提供了稳定且负担得起的能源。

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数据中心需求激增的全球背景，超过100 GW，与有限的全球供应（目前为15 GW）为拥有盈余权力，土地和新兴的监管框架等国家提供了巨大的机会，可以将其大写。

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.

巴基斯坦的数字连通性也随着世界上最大的潜艇互联网电缆的登陆，非洲-2电缆项目的登陆，这是一个45,000公里的全球网络，通过巴基斯坦的46个着陆站连接了33个国家 /地区。

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.

这个里程碑扩大了巴基斯坦的互联网带宽，减少了潜伏期，并通过冗余纤维路线提高了弹性，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 digital services within the region.

巴基斯坦拥有超过2.5亿和超过4000万加密使用者的人口，有望在该地区的数字服务领导。

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.

当地AI数据中心的建立将解决对数据主权，增强网络安全，改善数字服务交付的问题的不断增加，并赋予AI和云基础架构中的国家能力。
