Technology titan Alphabet's (GOOG -0.87%) (GOOGL -0.75%) search arm, Google, has partnered with TAE Technologies for more than a decade to help develop fusion energy to power its artificial intelligence (AI) and computing power needs one day. The nuclear fusion start-up has a bold goal to develop a commercial-scale fusion reactor that can deliver energy to the grid by the early 2030s. Google subsequently invested directly in TAE Technologies in 2022 to provide it with capital to help commercialize its fusion energy technology. It also invested directly in Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) in 2021. It deepened its relationship with CFS in 2025 by increasing its stake in the company and signing a power purchase agreement to buy 200 megawatts of electricity from its first ARC power plant in Virginia, which should start producing in the early 2030s.
