Realta Fusion to build fusion reactor at former Oscar Mayer factory in Wisconsin

Realta Fusion has announced plans to build its fusion R&D facility at an old Oscar Mayer hot dog factory in Madison, Wisconsin, with state incentives totaling $55 million.

• Realta Fusion will construct its Forge research and development center at the former Oscar Mayer factory in Madison, Wisconsin.
• The company says it will create its first plasma in 2029 and has demonstrated direct conversion of fusion energy into electricity.
• Realta Fusion will receive approximately $55 million in incentives from the state of Wisconsin and the city of Madison.
• Wisconsin enacted a sales tax exemption for the fusion industry in April, which Realta estimates will save it $37.5 million.
