“Helion is best positioned to generate electricity from fusion for customers this decade, not the next, and we have the right technology and strategy to build the commercial fusion market over the long term.”

“Polaris is expected to be the first fusion device capable of demonstrating net electricity production. Helion plans to reach this milestone in 2024... 'This funding ensures that Helion will be the first organization to generate electricity from fusion.'”

Co-founder and CEO, Helion Energy
