Pacific Fusion’s mission to develop commercially vi able fusion power combines established science, practical engineering, and affordable manufacturing. Its mission aligns with Alameda’s long-term climate action and resiliency objectives, as well as the ci ty’s economic development goals. Their presence wil l create and increase green job opportunities in vari ous sectors, including engineering, science, manufacturing, and research and development, adding more than 200 new jobs to the island.
Additionally, the well-funded upstart will enable partnership opportunities with local schools, universities, and research institutions, to foster talent development and further economic growth.

Pacific Fusion’s investment will accelerate the redevelopment of Site B and reinforce Alameda’s reputa on as a hub for clean technology and innova on. Their project will contribute to cri cal infrastructure improvements at Alameda Point and create over 200 green jobs across engineering, science, manufacturing, and R&D sectors—jobs that will sustain our local economy and provide opportuni es for our residents.
Moreover, Pacific Fusion’s presence opens avenues for meaningful partnerships with educa onal ins tu ons, fostering talent and driving economic growth. These collabora ons will inspire the next genera on of innovators and ensure that Alameda remains a leader in the clean energy transi on.
We'd like the City Council to seize this opportunity by entering into an exclusive nego a ng agreement (ENA) with Pacific Fusion.

Pacific Fusion would serve as a catalyst to redevelop Site B at Alameda Point by contributing to infrastructure improvements on the entire parcel, while constructing its facility on just half the site -- positioning Alameda Point as an innovation hub at the Enterprise District. Their presence will create and increase green job opportunities in various sectors, including engineering, science, manufacturing, and research and development, adding more than 200 new jobs to the island.
