About us
UK Industrial Fusion Solutions Ltd (UKIFS) will lead the delivery of the STEP programme to design and build the UK’s first prototype fusion energy plant.
Who we are
UK Industrial Fusion Solutions Ltd (UKIFS), a wholly owned subsidiary of the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) Group, will lead the delivery of the STEP programme to design and build the UK’s first prototype fusion energy plant.
STEP will be built at West Burton, a former coal-fired power station site in Nottinghamshire, and aims to demonstrate net energy from fusion in the 2040s.
Our industrial model will combine the best of public and private sectors in an integrated alliance to deliver the STEP prototype fusion plant, with UKAEA as fusion partner alongside an engineering partner and construction partner.
Together with our partners, we will leverage the UK’s renowned status in fusion research and development to lead the delivery of a fusion sector that will help meet global energy demand in the second half of this century.
