Grid connection requested for US fusion power plant
Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) has submitted an interconnection application to PJM, a regional transmission organization, for its ARC fusion power plant. CFS aims to deliver power to the grid in the early 2030s and has already secured offtake agreements with Google and Italy's Eni.
Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), a Massachusetts Institute of Technology spinout, has requested grid connection for its ARC fusion power plant through an interconnection application to PJM, a regional transmission organization. PJM coordinates wholesale electricity movement across several US states, serving over 65 million customers. CFS's application is the first from a grid-scale fusion power plant developer to a major regional transmission organization. The company aims to deliver power to the grid in the early 2030s and has secured offtake agreements with Google and Eni. CFS is currently building the SPARC prototype fusion machine in Devens, Massachusetts, paving the way for the ARC power plant. The ARC plant is expected to generate 400 MWe, enough to power large industrial sites or about 150,000 homes.
