Evidence detail

Target: commissioning, 2028

Current wording on Helion's Orion page: 'initial operations' beginning in 2028 (term not defined by Helion)

A stated target, not something that has happened. It does not set a state. Targets can move; earlier and later ones are both kept.

“In 2023, Helion signed the world's first fusion power purchase agreement (PPA) with Microsoft for 50 megawatts of clean electricity. Orion is designed to meet that commitment, with initial operations beginning in 2028.”
