Fusion’s $7.1B funding rush: 17 startups break $100M, CFS nears $3B
Private fusion firms have attracted $7.1 billion, with 17 companies each raising over $100 million. Commonwealth Fusion Systems alone sits near $3 billion and is set to power‑up its SPARC plant by early 2027, while Google has pledged to buy half the output of its future 400 MW Arc plant. The flood of capital signals the sector’s shift from experimental labs to commercial energy markets.
