Google to buy 200MW of fusion energy from MIT spinoff CFS
The electricity will come from CFS's inaugural ARC power plant in Chesterfield County, Virginia, which CFS describes as the world's first grid-scale fusion facility. The facility is expected to contribute to the grid in the early 2030s.
Google also holds an option to source energy from future ARC plants. ARC aims to generate 400MW of net electricity comparable with utility-scale natural gas plants.
Google's investment in CFS since 2021 is set to deepen as it increases its stake in the company. However, financial details remain undisclosed.
CFS CEO and co-founder Bob Mumgaard stated: 'Fusion power is within our grasp thanks in part to forward-thinking partners like Google, a recognised technology pioneer across industries.
'Our strategic deal with Google is the first of many as we move to demonstrate fusion energy from SPARC and then bring our first power plant online. We aim to demonstrate fusion's ability to provide reliable, abundant, clean energy at the scale needed to unlock economic growth and improve modern living – and enable what will be the largest market transition in history.'
Fusion technology offers transformative potential due to its lack of fuel or natural resource constraints compared to other energy sources.
By emulating the sun's energy production process in which smaller atoms such as hydrogen fuse together, it promises a consistent supply of clean energy capable of powering emerging industries, electrifying transport systems, homes and businesses, and supporting advanced computing needs such as AI applications.
CFS' marquee fusion project, SPARC, will generate net energy, paving the way for limitless carbon-free energy. The company has raised more than $2bn in capital since its establishment in 2018. Devens, Massachusetts-based CFS is working with policymakers and suppliers to make fusion energy available worldwide.

Astronomer CEO resigns after viral Coldplay concert incident
Andy Byron, the chief executive of New York-based tech company Astronomer, has resigned from his role after he was spotted embracing an employee at a Coldplay concert, according to a statement shared with CNN on Saturday. Astronomer's board of directors accepted Byron's resignation and will begin searching for its next CEO, according to the statement. Following the viral video of Byron, alleged statements from Byron acknowledging the situation began to circulate online. Astronomer said in an earlier LinkedIn post that Byron 'has not put out any statement' and 'reports saying otherwise are all incorrect.' That statement also addressed the misidentification of a third person seen in the clip circulating on the internet in the day following the video's release. CNN was unable to contact Byron for comment. On Wednesday, Byron was seen with Kristin Cabot, the company's chief people officer, on the 'kiss cam' screen at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, before both ducked out of view. 'As stated previously, Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' the company said Saturday. The data operations company, which was founded in 2018, acknowledged that 'awareness of our company may have changed overnight,' but its mission would continue to be focused on addressing data and artificial intelligence problems. The company on Friday said Astronomer's co-founder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy would serve as interim CEO. Byron's LinkedIn account is no longer public and he was removed from the company's leadership page following the announcement, which now lists co-founder DeJoy as CEO. Byron is still listed on the company's website as a member of the board of directors. This story has been updated with additional content.
