Power, climate and rules at a glance
| Electricity | $0.140 - $0.140/kWh |
|---|---|
| Energy mix | hydro, gas, coal and nuclear |
| Cooling constraint | hot summers - cooling load is high, and grid reliability varies by region |
| Legal status | Pakistan has no explicit law banning or authorising crypto mining, and the government has allocated 2,000 MW of electricity to Bitcoin mining and AI data centres, but no licences had been granted (Sumsub, 2026). Small-scale mining is possible; large operations face energy limits and unclear rules until the virtual assets regulator issues guidance. Industrial power was about $0.14/kWh in 2025 (HarmoniQ). Use only legally sourced, metered electricity. This page is information only, not legal advice. |
