Tennessee has approved a permit for Type One Energy to construct its first nuclear fusion research facility at the Bull Run Energy Complex, with plans to build a 400-megawatt fusion power plant by 2034, supported by new state regulations classifying nuclear projects as green energy and offering tax breaks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

The approval opens a rare first-mover market for fusion energy infrastructure in the US. If you build energy tech, new state tax breaks could give you a runway to champion fusion development in the Southeast.
