Creates a new office to speed up fusion energy development, aiming for commercial power plants by 2028.
The Department of Energy would create a new Office of Fusion to focus on making fusion power a reality. It would help the private sector build fusion power plants, support a skilled workforce, and keep the U.S. a leader in this technology. The goal is to start building more than one private-sector fusion power plant by December 31, 2028.
Today, the Department of Energy Organization Act does not include a dedicated Office of Fusion. Also, fusion energy resources are not explicitly listed under the responsibilities of an Assistant Secretary. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Energy would establish a new Office of Fusion with a Director and a Fusion Innovation Center. The bill would also consolidate existing fusion-related programs. It would explicitly assign fusion energy resources to an Assistant Secretary's responsibilities. This aims to speed up commercial fusion deployment, with a goal to start construction of more than one private-sector fusion power plant by December 31, 2028.
