Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he is taking to support the development of fusion technology.
Fusion supports the Government’s missions to kickstart economic growth and make Britain a clean energy superpower. The commercial process for the STEP powerplant programme is in train, we are investing in cutting-edge research programmes and facilities, and are implementing the UK’s proportionate regulatory framework, strengthening the UK’s role as the global hub for fusion innovation. Together, this will support investment and job creation and help deliver a thriving UK fusion industry.
