Advancing Toward a 100-Megawatt Operational Unit
In the interview, Nelson reaffirms Kepler’s goal of delivering a fully operational 100-megawatt fusion power unit by the end of 2026, emphasizing that the Company remains on track with component integration, subsystem validation, and utility-grade readiness. He highlights the compatibility of Kepler’s platform with existing grid infrastructure, noting that capacitor banks, transformers, and inverters used in solar and wind installations are directly adaptable to Kepler’s system.
“Our engineering milestones continue to align with our deployment schedule,” Nelson said. “We’re now moving from proof-of-concept validation into full-scale assembly and integration. Every step reinforces our confidence that our first 100-megawatt unit will be grid-ready in partnership with our North Texas utility collaborators.”
Commercial Pipeline and Power-as-a-Service Model
Nelson expands on Kepler’s power-as-a-service model, which sells electricity on a per-kilowatt basis at pricing competitive with hydropower and other major energy sources. He outlines a growing pipeline of interest from utilities, industrial operators, and remote communities seeking clean, continuous, emission-free baseload power.
“We’re seeing strong demand across multiple sectors,” Nelson noted. “Industrial customers want predictable, low-cost power. Remote communities want reliability without high maintenance. And utilities want scalable, dispatchable clean energy. Our model delivers all three while maintaining compelling margins.”
Strategic Engagements with Government and Research Partners
The interview also highlights Kepler’s ongoing engagement with organizations including the Department of Defense, NASA, and multiple state-level energy agencies. These discussions focus on applications ranging from military microgrids to lunar surface power concepts to resilient infrastructure for remote or disaster-prone regions.
Positioning Kepler as a Transformational Energy Provider
Nelson underscores the Company’s belief that its fusion platform represents a high-value opportunity for investors, citing the combination of competitive pricing, broad applicability, and the absence of radioactive waste or long-term environmental liabilities.
“We’re building a platform that can scale globally,” Nelson said. “Our technology is designed for rapid deployment, minimal maintenance, and seamless integration with existing grid assets. We believe this positions Kepler to become one of the most impactful clean-energy providers of the next decade.”
