Pakistan faces a unique energy paradox: despite having an installed capacity of 46,600 MW, about 14% remains idle, especially during off-peak times, costing the country billions annually in capacity payments for unused power plants. ⚠️💸

To tackle this, Pakistan has launched an ambitious plan to redirect 2,000 MW of surplus electricity—mostly from underutilized coal plants—toward Bitcoin mining and AI data centers. This bold strategy aims to monetize wasted energy, ease grid strain by absorbing excess supply, and generate significant revenue through digital assets. 💥💰

Despite these hurdles, the plan could transform Pakistan’s energy landscape by turning a costly liability into a high-value digital asset opportunity, potentially generating up to $1.8 billion annually in Bitcoin mining revenue. The success will depend on infrastructure upgrades, regulatory clarity, and balancing tech ambition with public welfare. 🏗️🔐
