Fusion Energy: Building the Power of the Future We're not just talking about the future, we're building it. The STEP programme will build a prototype fusion energy plant and create a UK-led fusion industry. We'll catalyse new ideas and technologies that will help secure our future on this planet.

Fusion energy is bold - a national endeavour and the space race of our time. Today marks one year since leadership of the STEP programme transferred to UK Industrial Fusion Solutions.

One year on, take a look at this 🎥
