Fusion energy company Helion announced that it has raised $465 million in a Series G funding round, with proceeds aimed at accelerating commercial deployment of fusion energy in the U.S. and expanding the company\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n
The new financing round values Helion, which aims to build the world\u2019s first fusion power plant, at $15.5 billion, nearly triple the valuation from its Series F raise in early 2025.<\/p>\n
Fusion, the process of combining two atoms to release energy, is seen as a potential source of abundant, zero-carbon power. Unlike fossil fuels, fusion does not emit carbon, and unlike nuclear fission, it does not generate highly radioactive waste. Large-scale fusion energy generation has remained elusive, however, given the need to create extremely high temperatures and pressure.<\/p>\n
Founded in 2013 by CEO David Kirtley, John Slough, Chris Pihl, and George Votroubek, Washington-based Helion is developing fusion technology with the goal of building the world\u2019s first commercial fusion power plant. The company signed an agreement with Microsoft in 2023 to supply the tech giant with fusion generated carbon-free energy by 2028 from its first power plant in Malaga Washington, Orion, which is currently under construction.<\/p>\n
The new funding round follows several industry-first milestones achieved by Helion\u2019s seventh-generation Polaris prototype fusion machine, including becoming the first privately funded fusion machine to operate with deuterium-tritium fuel and surpassing the company\u2019s previous plasma temperature record, exceeding 150 million\u00b0C, earlier this year.<\/p>\n
The funding round was led by Thrive Capital, with participation from new investors including Alta Park Capital, Anti Fund, BoxGroup, Lux Capital, Peak XV Partners, and Ford Motor Company Executive Chairman Bill Ford, alongside existing investors Capricorn Technology Impact Funds, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Mithril Capital, Dustin Moskovitz through Good Ventures Foundation, SoftBank Vision Fund 2, and a university endowment fund.<\/p>\n
