Google will invest in Commonwealth Fusion Systems and buy 200 MW of electricity from its forthcoming power plant.

Google will also invest again in Commonwealth, which expects its first commercial plant will generate power in the early 2030s

Although Google won’t have access to the power it’s buying for more than five years, making the purchase now is in Google’s interest. The move both helps CFS on its path to a functioning fusion power generator and gets Google’s foot in the door once CFS meets with success.
