Wellington-based company OpenStar Technologies has secured funding to build a new fusion energy facility.
It'll get 35 million dollars from the Government's Regional Infrastructure Fund to build the bespoke facility, and its purpose will be to house what the company refers to as their "next generation device", Tahi.
To explain what all of that means and how it could impact how we generate and consume energy, OpenStar CEO and founder Ratu Mataira chats to Jesse.
