Helion Energy
84 open jobsGeneral information
Helion Energy is developing fusion power technology for clean, safe electricity for the power grid. The company is based in Everett, Washington. Helion is building Polaris, a machine to demonstrate producing electricity from fusion, and Orion, a planned fusion power plant.
Helion Energy was founded in 2013 by David Kirtley, John Slough, Chris Pihl, and George Votroubek. It is a private company that joined the Y Combinator program in 2015. By 2021, Helion reached 100 million degrees Celsius with its Trenta prototype. Helion has a deal to supply Microsoft with 50 MWe of power starting in 2028, and it is working with Nucor on a 500-MWe fusion plant targeting 2030. About 500 employees work at Helion. That matters: Microsoft and Nucor have already signed on as customers, before Helion has a working power plant.
