SPARC will not generate electricity[0]. It's intended to show that the ARC concept, which should be able to generate net electricity[1], is viable. If SPARC works, ARC might be built as early as 2030. 'As early as' being the keywords here. Showing that the difficult physics work is important to do before moving on to the difficult engineering.
