Commonwealth Fusion Systems at Devens

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) announced it has closed on more than $1.8 billion in Series B funding to commercialize fusion energy. This includes capital to construct, commission, and operate SPARC, the world’s first commercially relevant net energy fusion machine at Devens. In addition, it will enable the company to begin work on ARC, the first commercial fusion power plant, which includes developing support technologies, advancing the design, identifying the site, and assembling the partners and customers for the future of fusion power.

CFS in collaboration with MIT demonstrated a successful test of the world’s strongest high temperature superconducting (HTS) magnet, the key technology for a device that will unlock the path to clean commercial fusion energy for the world. CFS is now building the manufacturing facility and capabilities at Devens to support scaling the magnet technology for our fusion proof of concept, net energy device, SPARC, as well as future fusion power plants.

CFS begins construction of 47-acre site at Devens that will include a manufacturing facility with company headquarters and research facility with the world's first net energy device that will prove fusion can work as a commercial power source for the first time in history.

CFS announced the selection of Devens, MA as the site of CFS’ new 47-acre commercial fusion energy campus.
