Everett nuclear fusion energy company nets first customer: Microsoft
EVERETT — Helion Energy signed its first customer this week.
The Everett-based company agreed to provide the software giant Microsoft with at least 50 megawatts of electricity from its planned first fusion power plant, starting in 2028.
Fifty megawatts is enough electricity to power a data center or factory, said David Kirtley, Helion’s CEO.
