The UK Government’s designation of fusion energy as a key focus in its newly released Industrial Strategy is important. The prioritization of fusion as a “Clean Energy Industry” by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) – on top of its recent £2.5 billion commitment – demonstrates the UK’s serious intent to lead the global race to rapidly bring fusion to market.
On June 20, the Fusion Industry Association (FIA) sent a letter to Senator Capito, Chair of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, and Senator Whitehouse, Ranking Member, in support of the re-nomination of Commissioner Wright to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

The global fusion supply chain is expanding rapidly to support the “business of fusion”, according to a new report by the Fusion Industry Association published today. The Fusion Industry Supply Chain – 2025 edition found that supply chain spending by fusion companies grew by 73% to $434 million in 2024, from around $250 million in 2023*.

On May 14th, the Fusion Industry Association (FIA) sent a letter to Congress addressing the current draft of reconciliation legislation passed by the House Ways and Means Committee. The legislation overlooks a critical opportunity to support American innovation and energy security by advancing the growth of fusion energy as a source of safe, secure, and abundant energy. Congress could slow the deployment of fusion in the U.S. if they choose to sunset the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) technology-neutral investment tax credit (48E) and production tax credit (45Y), continue to exclude fusion components from the advanced manufacturing production credits (45X) of the Internal Revenue Code, and end the transferability of these credits. The letter emphasizes the importance of maintaining the credits to secure fusion deployment in the U.S., ensuring innovation and energy leadership.
