Today, the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero launched the Fusion Strategy; backing British jobs, investment and energy sovereignty while delivering on its Industrial Strategy.
In welcoming the announcement, Tom Greatrex, Chief Executive of the Nuclear Industry Association, said:
“The government’s continued investment in fusion is a welcome signal of the UK’s ambition to lead in one of the most exciting clean energy technologies. Sustained funding is essential to turn the UK’s world-leading research into commercial projects, new supply chains and high-skilled jobs across the country.
“Backing programmes such as STEP and the wider capabilities needed for fusion development will help ensure the UK remains at the forefront of the global race to bring fusion energy to market. With long-term commitment and partnership between government, industry and researchers, this investment can help unlock the enormous potential of fusion for the UK’s clean energy future.”
