Eni将从粮安委的Virginia工厂购买聚变电量1B+美元, Eni will buy $1B+ in fusion power from CFS’s Virginia plant, a major step toward commercial fusion energy.

Eni与美国核聚变启动联邦聚变系统签订了10亿美元+电力购买协议,从弗吉尼亚400兆瓦ARC聚变厂购买去碳化电力,预计2030年代初将连接到电网。 Eni has signed a $1 billion+ power purchase agreement with U.S. fusion startup Commonwealth Fusion Systems to buy decarbonized electricity from its 400 MW ARC fusion plant in Virginia, expected to connect to the grid in the early 2030s. 这笔交易标志着在与谷歌达成类似协议之后,向商业聚变能源迈出了重大一步,反映了全球对这一技术的信心日益增强。 The deal marks a major step toward commercial fusion energy, following a similar agreement with Google and reflecting growing global confidence in the technology. 自2018年以来,CFS从麻省理工学院分离出来,已经获得了Eni的战略支持和投资,包括最近的一轮8.63亿美元的融资. CFS, spun out of MIT, has received strategic support and investment from Eni since 2018, including a recent $863 million funding round. 该伙伴关系旨在推进作为清洁、安全和几乎无限的能源来源的聚变,其进展取决于高温超导磁铁的突破和SPARC示范项目。 The partnership aims to advance fusion as a clean, safe, and nearly limitless energy source, with progress driven by breakthroughs in high-temperature superconducting magnets and the SPARC demonstration project. 虽然核聚变的规模仍无法证明,但该协定表明,随着AI和数据中心增长导致需求增加,主要能源参与者的兴趣日益浓厚。 While fusion remains unproven at scale, the agreement signals increasing interest from major energy players as demand rises due to AI and data center growth.
