The plant Google invested in isn’t going to be built until the early 203. When it starts generating usable fusion energy is still TBD.

The tech giant is betting that Commonwealth Fusion Systems could start producing fusion power next decade.

As part of the tie-up, Google signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for 200MW of power from its inaugural ARC plant. The plant has a planned capacity of 400MW, and is projected to deliver its first power to the Virginia grid in the early 2030s. Google also has the option to offtake additional power from future ARC plants.
