Commonwealth Fusion Systems plans to independently finance, build, own and operate the plant.

The company said the plant will generate about 400 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 150,000 homes.

Unlike a typical nuclear plant, fusion doesn’t produce long-lasting radioactive waste and does not emit carbon dioxide.

Gov. Youngkin said the arc is scheduled to start generating power for the electrical grid in the early 2030s .
