Pakistan Allocates 2,000MW of Surplus Power to Bitcoin Mining and AI
- Pakistan's government announced in May 2025 that 2,000MW of surplus power would be directed to Bitcoin mining and AI data centers as phase one of the initiative.
- The plan is led by the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) and was announced via Radio Pakistan, aiming to monetize idle power generation capacity and draw digital infrastructure investment.
- Separately, methane capture is underway at the Mehmood Booti landfill in Lahore, though no official link has been confirmed between this methane capture project and Bitcoin mining power supply.
