TAE executives toured candidate sites in Alabama, Ohio and Texas for its first fusion power plant, weighing grid connections, land, workforce and state incentives. The first plant is planned at about 50 MWe for the early 2030s, with later plants of 350 to 500 MWe.

• TAE evaluated Alabama, Ohio, and Texas based on grid connectivity, available land, workforce, and state incentives.
• The first plant targets ~50 MWe in the early 2030s; later facilities will scale to 350–500 MWe, demonstrating the path to utility-scale fusion economics.
• Site selection balances regulatory environment, industrial partnership opportunities, and grid integration—key factors for first-of-a-kind plants.
