Tennessee Valley Authority Plans Fusion Project at Retired Coal Site

U.S. government-owned utility Tennessee Valley Authority plans to use Type One Energy technology at a retired coal plant, which will be the site of a commercial fusion plant, Type One Energy CEO Christofer Mowry told Axios in an interview.

Nuclear power has been making a comeback in the U.S. after decades of stagnation, driven by record electricity demand from AI data centers as well as the electrification of industries such as transportation and manufacturing.

Type One Energy did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment.
