The Power Division is formulating a “Surplus Power Package” aimed at supporting industrial and agricultural consumers, even crypto mining operations and AI data centers.
The initiative was shared in writing with the Senate Standing Committee on Power during its meeting on May 23, 2025, chaired by Senator Mohsin Aziz.
However, a detailed discussion was deferred due to the absence of Federal Minister for Power Sardar Awais Leghari and senior officials from PPMC and CPPA-G, who were attending a scheduled meeting with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
According to the Power Division, the proposed package is intended to be subsidy-neutral. It would offer an incentivized rate of 8–9 cents per unit for additional electricity consumed by targeted users.
Greenfield industries such as crypto mining and data centers are expected to benefit from the concessional rates on their entire power consumption, subject to specific terms and conditions being finalized. The package is planned with a clear outlook spanning the next three years.
So much waste of public funds. It hurts
Instead of these data centers and crypto nonsense we should give affordable power to hospitals and schools who need it most.
Crypto is a scam. It hasn’t helped any nation ever. We should be providing electricity to supply chains so cars , motorcycles and other things can be produced here so we can afford them again .
Wasting public funding on these things is going to ruin the last bit of our economy.
your knowlege regarding crypto is very week dear.
Noticed you didn’t prove me wrong . Or provided any information on where my knowledge is “weak” .
The biggest minds in economy already regard it as a scam.
Bill Maher, Charlie munger, Warren buffet , IMF director , Jerome Powell all have high degree of knowledge and all regard crypto as a scam.
Bitcoin ,which is just a crypto currency, own creator is hiding. Feel free to prove me wrong.
