Private US nuclear fusion company Helion Energy will provide Microsoft with electricity in the first such deal for the power source that fuels the sun but has been elusive on Earth

The Washington-based firm said the deal will also help Microsoft achieve its goal of being carbon negative by 2030.

Helion's plant is expected to be online by 2028 and will target power generation of 50 megawatts or greater after a one-year ramp-up period, it said. One megawatt can supply up to about 1,000 US homes on a typical day. Unlike today's fission reactors, fusion could generate power without producing long-lasting radioactive waste. It occurs when two light atoms such as hydrogen, heated to extreme temperatures, fuse into one heavier atom, releasing large amounts of energy.

In 2021, Helion was the first private company to achieve 100 million degrees Celsius and the optimum temperature for fusion is about twice that, Kirtley said.
