Office of Fusion Act of 2025

HR 6709 establishes a dedicated Office of Fusion within the Department of Energy to accelerate the development and commercial deployment of fusion energy technology. The bill consolidates existing fusion programs under this new office, requires a detailed commercial deployment roadmap for Congress within one year, and mandates coordination with private industry, national labs, and other agencies to overcome barriers. It directly affects the Department of Energy, the U.S. fusion industry, and regulators by streamlining efforts to meet a goal of starting construction on multiple private fusion power plants by 2028. Key mechanisms include centralizing fusion research, managing public-private partnerships, and ensuring supply chain development to advance fusion energy as a clean power source.
