TVA and Type One Energy target a 350 MWe fusion power plant

Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Type One Energy covering the potential deployment of a fusion power plant at the former Bull Run coal site near Oak Ridge. The project, named Infinity Two, targets a capacity of 350 megawatts electrical (MWe) in baseload service. The selected technology is the stellarator, engineered for steady-state operation. According to the partners, this approach seeks to provide dispatchable supply at competitive prices.
