Office of Fusion Act of 2025

This 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 fusion power plant by the end of 2028. The Secretary would gather feedback on which existing fusion programs to move into the new office and set a timeline for moving them. Within 180 days, the Secretary and Director would send Congress a plan for commercial fusion deployment and update it every 4 years. The bill would also create a Fusion Innovation Center, based at a National Laboratory or university, to lead public-private partnerships.
