AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Energy to create an Office of Fusion within the Department of Energy to advance fusion energy science and technology, led by a Director chosen by the Secretary. The office would work with private companies on fusion power plants, with a goal of starting construction on more than one private-sector fusion power plant by December 31, 2028. All programs run by the Fusion Energy Sciences program of the Office of Science as of November 19, 2025, would be moved to the new office. Within one year, the Secretary and Director would have to send Congress a roadmap for commercial fusion deployment and update it every 4 years. The bill also adds fusion energy resources to the duties that may be assigned to an Assistant Secretary of Energy.
