DEVENS, Mass. and TOKYO, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), the global leader in fusion energy, today announced a landmark supply agreement with Fujikura Ltd. as it accelerates the commercial rollout of ARC fusion power plants.

CFS agreed to purchase more than 10,000 km (3 GA-m) of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tape from Fujikura that the company will use in the development of its ARC power plants, starting with the first grid-scale plant being developed at the Fall Line Fusion Power Station in Chesterfield County, Virginia. Fujikura is investing in the expansion of its manufacturing capacity to enable the delivery of the HTS tape at scale. The agreement is the largest of its kind for HTS tape.

“This partnership with Fujikura demonstrates how we’re actively placing orders and getting ready to execute our ARC power plant once our SPARC fusion machine achieves Q>1,” said Bob Mumgaard, CEO and Co-founder of Commonwealth Fusion Systems. “We’re pleased to find partners like Fujikura that understand our manufacturing priorities, share our sense of urgency, and are willing to make the investments necessary to help us scale so that together we can meet future demand for this crucial energy source worldwide.”

The supply agreement is a major milestone toward the construction of ARC power plants and will help to strengthen the industrial supply chain essential to bring commercial fusion power to market. It also marks an important step in U.S.-Japan collaboration and in building the industrial ecosystem needed to support commercial fusion energy.

“With this agreement, Fujikura will continue to strengthen its position as a key supplier of HTS tape for ARC power plants while building a long-term business platform for the 2030s and beyond, when commercial fusion power plants are expected to begin operation,” said Naoki Okada, Representative Director, President and CEO of Fujikura Ltd. “Through these efforts, Fujikura aims to help support a sustainable energy future.”
