From CFS website:
Commonwealth Fusion Systems is collaborating with MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center to build SPARC, the world’s first fusion device that produces plasmas which generate more energy than they consume, becoming the first net-energy fusion machine. SPARC will pave the way for carbon-free, safe, limitless, fusion power. This compact, high-field tokamak will be built with high temp superconducting (HTS) magnets, allowing for a smaller device than previous magnet technology. SPARC is an important step to accelerate the development of commercial fusion energy.

Does this actually require the reactor to produce electricity? Or are we just talking about Q_plasma?

@JakobBrunker Q_plasma. No need for them to produce electricity.
