TAE Technologies Completes Multi-State Site Tour for First Fusion Power Plant
On April 7, 2026, TAE Technologies announced the completion of a multi-state site evaluation tour across Alabama, Ohio, and Texas to identify the optimal location for its first commercial fusion power plant. CEO Michl Binderbauer led the tour alongside CFO Cedric Burgher and TAE Global GmbH CEO Jonathan Toretta. Criteria evaluated included infrastructure readiness, grid connectivity, land access, workforce availability, transportation, and state and local incentives. The first plant is targeted at approximately 50 MWe in the early 2030s, with future plants ranging from 350–500 MWe. TAE's hydrogen-boron (p-B11) aneutronic fusion approach would produce electricity with no long-lived radioactive waste. The siting announcement followed TAE's December 2025 merger agreement with Trump Media & Technology Group, which committed $200 million in initial funding with an additional $100 million contingent on SEC Form S-4 approval.
