Received $260 million
Helion and CFS received $260 million in awards but must provide non-voting shares to the government. This marks the first time a federal agency has actively funded the fusion energy sector.
- Field
- industry news
- What they did
- The U.S. government awarded $260 million to fusion startups Helion and Commonwealth Fusion Systems, but required them to provide non-voting shares in return.
- Why it matters
- This funding model offers capital that does not dilute existing investors' ownership, thereby increasing the companies' financial resources for development.
