In a first-of-its-kind agreement, Google will purchase electricity from a nuclear fusion power plant. But the technology remains years from commercial scale.

Google has signed an investment and offtake agreement with Commonwealth Fusion Systems for 200 MW of power from its first ARC commercial fusion plant which is to be built in Virginia. ;

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.
