A new office would be created in the Department of Energy to speed up fusion energy development.
This bill would create a new Office of Fusion within the Department of Energy. Its main goal would be to speed up the development and use of fusion energy in the U.S. This includes working with private companies to build more than one fusion power plant by the end of 2028.
Currently, the Department of Energy Organization Act does not explicitly establish an Office of Fusion, and existing fusion energy programs, such as the Fusion Energy Sciences program, are managed by the Office of Science. Fusion energy resources are not specifically listed under the responsibilities of an Assistant Secretary. If this bill becomes law, a new Office of Fusion would be created within the Department of Energy. This office would take over all programs previously managed by the Fusion Energy Sciences program of the Office of Science as of November 19, 2025. Additionally, the Department of Energy Organization Act would be changed to explicitly include "fusion energy resources" under the purview of an Assistant Secretary, giving fusion energy a more defined place within the department's structure.
