Pacific Fusion Begins Building Fusion Facility Targeting Enough Energy to Power Itself

The startup Pacific Fusion has begun construction of a pilot facility in New Mexico aimed at achieving what is known as “net facility gain” by 2030—that is, producing as much energy as the facility itself consumes. The company intends to use the project’s results to reach a commercial plant in the mid-2030s.
