Major utilities are betting on fusion—and they're taking it seriously this time. A new Utility Dive article explores how leading energy companies like TVA, Dominion Energy, and others are moving beyond vague promises to concrete partnerships with fusion startups, driven by recent breakthroughs that suggest commercial fusion power could arrive within the next 10-15 years.
The piece highlights the divergent approaches shaping the industry, from Commonwealth Fusion Systems' bet on tokamak technology to Helion's ambitious timeline for grid-connected power. But it also spotlights what makes SHINE's approach uniquely practical.
While other companies chase the elusive "Q>1" milestone for energy gain, we're already generating revenue from fusion technology through medical isotope production.
As SHINE founder and CEO Greg Piefer tells the publication: "We're at a turning point where we're going from burning chemical energy as a society to being a nuclear-powered society."
By commercializing fusion for high-value applications today, we're building the expertise needed to lead that transformation.
Read the full piece to see why utilities are finally taking fusion seriously—and how we're positioning ourselves at the forefront of this historic shift.
