In a bold move to harness the surplus of energy and modernize its digital economy, Pakistan has allocated 2000 MW of electricity to support bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence centers (AI).
The allocation represents the first phase of the country’s digital infrastructure initiative aimed at losing the extra energy ability in Pakistan.
The strategy, led by the Pakistani Cur Board (PCC)-a government-backed body-is designed to take advantage of the country’s energy surplus surplus with the creation of high-tech work and attract foreign investment.
As solar energy has risen across the country, more consumers have turned into solutions outside the network to reduce electricity costs.
This transformation left Pakistan with surplus generation capacity, causing pressure on the already stalled energy sector. Officials believe that investing in intense energy industries such as encryption mining and Amnesty International will help in achieving the gap in submitting the application.
PCC aims to expand the initiative in the subsequent stages, which is likely to expand the scope of energy and infrastructure customization based on performance and investor response.
The Council also intends to ensure compliance with environmental standards, especially with regard to energy efficiency and heat management. The Pakistan axis towards emerging technologies comes amid global trends, as countries with abundant energy resources, such as El Salvador and Kazakhstan, have integrated bitcoin mining into their national strategies.
