## Resource

Bloomberg reported that Google and RWE backed German nuclear startup Proxima Fusion at a €2.4 billion valuation. The participation links a hyperscale energy buyer and a major utility to a fusion developer operating in Europe’s core power market. Google is pursuing around the clock carbon free power for data centers by 2030, and RWE is expanding firm low carbon capacity as demand rises. Strategic involvement can bring capital, operational expertise, and potential offtake structures that support demonstration and early commercial units. European policy and market design will influence permitting, grid access, and revenue certainty for first plants. Founders and operators should watch for details on demonstration timelines, siting, offtake rights, and financing structures tied to the investment.
