Pakistan eyes surplus power use for crypto mining: 

Pakistan is developing special electricity tariffs to attract cryptocurrency mining operations as part of a strategy to use the country’s surplus power generation capacity.

According to a report by Dawn, the Power Division is consulting with various stakeholders to create attractive electricity rates for these industries without introducing subsidies. The initiative plans to use excess power production while reducing capacity payments.

This approach could appeal to cryptocurrency miners, who generally spend 60-70% of their earnings on electricity costs. Pakistan’s current surplus electricity situation offers potential competitive advantages.
