Can a fusion plant follow demand?

Yes — it is dispatchable, meaning its output can be scheduled and adjusted rather than dictated by weather. Its most valuable role is supplying steady, firm base load around the clock, but it can also modulate output to help match demand and support the grid.

Primarily as firm baseload — always-on power that lets a grid run on clean energy without gaps. That's the market Kronos designs for, complementing intermittent renewables rather than competing with cheap midday solar.

Firm generation and storage are complements. A dispatchable fusion plant reduces how much long-duration storage a clean grid needs, especially for multi-day and seasonal gaps that storage handles expensively.
