“In the 2024 Autumn Budget, the Government has committed “significant support in 2025-26 for UK fusion energy research, to build on the UK’s position as a global leader in sustainable energy”. UKAEA welcomes and appreciates the Government’s continued support for fusion energy development and is committed to working with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero in delivering its ambitious plans. These include building on our strong position in fusion science and technology with a focus on innovation and growth and helping develop “a dynamic investment economy” as part of the UK’s Industrial Strategy.”
