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 agreed to purchase power from a planned fusion power plant in the 2030s in only the second electricity offtake deal to be signed in the nascent fusion energy sector.

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. ;
