Virginia will host the first nuclear fusion power plant aimed at generating electricity from this groundbreaking technology by the early 2030s. Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) plans to invest billions to construct the facility near Richmond, expected to produce 400 megawatts of energy sufficient for approximately 150,000 homes. The project represents a major step towards harnessing clean and abundant energy, as fusion offers a viable alternative to fossil fuels without long-term nuclear waste. CFS aims for fusion power to be central to the energy transition amid rising electricity demands.
