Pakistan Powers Up the Future: 2,000 MW for Bitcoin & AI Boom
On May 25, Pakistan launched a bold new national initiative: allocating 2,000 megawatts (MW) of energy to support Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.
This smart move by the Finance Ministry aims to use the country’s surplus electricity. As solar power grew and electricity prices rose, many citizens turned to alternative sources, creating unused energy capacity.
Through this project, the government wants to create high-tech jobs and bring in foreign investment. This 2,000 MW is just the beginning of a larger plan to make Pakistan a digital powerhouse.
