Thea Energy
Thea Energy develops a stellarator-based fusion power system using arrays of mass-manufacturable planar magnets and dynamic software controls, aimed at utility-scale zero-emission electricity. The privately held company, founded in 2022 and headquartered in Kearny, New Jersey, spun out of Princeton University and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. It was selected for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program and has ARPA-E SCALEUP support, as it advances from prototype toward commercial power plants.
