Fusion Advanced Manufacturing Parity Act Introduced in U.S. Congress
Update: On October 31, U.S. Senators John Curtis (R-Utah) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) introduced companion legislation, making the Fusion Advanced Manufacturing Parity Act a bicameral, bipartisan bill. Here is the full text of the bill, Senator Curtis’ press release, and Senator Cantwell’s press release.
On September 17, U.S. Representatives Carol Miller (R-W.V.), Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.), and Don Beyer (D-Va.), introduced the bipartisan Fusion Advanced Manufacturing Parity Act. The Act extends the Advanced Manufacturing Tax Credit (45X) to include fusion components – an important step in strengthening the American fusion manufacturing base and accelerating the path toward commercial fusion energy.
The FIA applauds the introduction of the Fusion Advanced Manufacturing Parity Act. Policy measures to support manufacturers navigating risk in the fusion ecosystem are critical; FIA’s 2025 Fusion Supply Chain Report found that 46% of suppliers are prepared to expand capacity if some risk sharing was involved. In addition, 61% of fusion energy companies are concerned about the availability of precision engineering and manufacturing suppliers to meet their future commercial needs.
These now-introduced provisions would provide parity in tax treatment and would help onshore domestic fusion manufacturing, protect U.S. national security, and create thousands of American jobs.
Fusion energy will be the ultimate energy source: safe, sustainable, abundant, and always available. For fusion to be successful, we don’t need any special subsidies or handouts: the industry only needs the same treatment in the tax code as other energy sources. Making fusion energy components eligible for the 45x manufacturing tax credits will ensure fusion is on a level playing field with other emerging energy sources. The FIA and our members look forward to seeing this bill enacted into law.

The FIA is grateful for the efforts of the Representatives who introduced this legislation and looks forward to seeing the bill passed into law.
