[Commonwealth Fusion Systems](https://cfs.energy/) (CFS) will send Google 200 megawatts of electricity from its Arc power plant, which is expected to come online in the early 2030s. Meanwhile, Google is sending CFS a check as part of a new, unannounced funding round.

The new round will be “comparable” to the previous one, CFS co-founder and CEO Bob Mumgaard said. CFS’s most recent funding round,  a Series B that Google participated in and that brought in $1.8 billion, closed in 2021. The company has raised [the most of any fusion startup](https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/19/every-fusion-startup-that-has-raised-over-100m/).

“That’s a very strong demand signal,” said Mumgaard. “This investment allows us to do some of the R&D that will enable us to go into Arc faster.”

CFS is building a demonstration reactor, known as Sparc, just outside of Boston. That facility will be completed in 2026, according to Mumgaard. Arc, the company’s commercial power plant, will be [built near Richmond, Virginia](https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/17/commonwealth-fusion-systems-just-picked-its-first-commercial-site-partly-because-of-its-proximity-to-washington-d-c/).

The new deal marks only the second time a major company has agreed to buy power from a fusion startup. The first was signed in 2023 when Microsoft agreed to buy the output of Helion’s first commercial power plant, which is scheduled to come online in 2028.
