Fusion energy is shifting from ambition to delivery as the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) continues to advance their project at Bull Run to build and operate a 400 MWe commercial fusion power plant using Type One Energy’s Infinity Two stellarator technology. With the licensing application submitted and site preparation underway at TVA’s former coal plant site, the Bull Run Infinity Two project offers a rare test of fusion commercialization with a real-world utility customer. How far do these clear signs of progress go in demonstrating fusion’s readiness for commercialisation — and how will they define the contours of a scalable model for deployment beyond TVA and the U.S.?
