Bill > HR6709

This bill, titled the "Office of Fusion Act of 2025," proposes to reestablish an office within the Department of Energy dedicated to advancing fusion energy science and technology. The new Office of Fusion will aim to enhance the United States' energy and economic security, maintain leadership in fusion technologies, and accelerate the development and deployment of fusion power plants through partnerships with the private sector, with a goal of starting construction on more than one private-sector fusion power plant by the end of 2028. It will also focus on ensuring a robust national fusion supply chain, coordinating efforts across different Department of Energy programs like the Office of Science and the Advanced Research Projects Agency—Energy (ARPA-E), expanding international cooperation, developing a skilled workforce, and providing technical expertise to regulators. The bill also mandates the consolidation of existing fusion programs into this new office and requires the submission of a commercial deployment roadmap to Congress outlining strategies to overcome barriers to fusion energy.
