Pakistan plans to utilize surplus electricity for Bitcoin mining and AI sectors

TechFlow, June 13 — According to Cointelegraph, Pakistan is utilizing its surplus power capacity of 2,000 megawatts for Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence to reduce waste and promote technological development.

As of March 2025, Pakistan's installed power generation capacity reached 46,600 megawatts, a slight increase from the previous year. Nearly 14% of this capacity remains idle, particularly during winter off-peak periods when demand may drop to 12,000 megawatts.
