UK Infinity Two Fusion Power Plant Project

planned

The UK Infinity Fusion Consortium, comprising Type One Energy, AECOM, and Tokamak Energy, aims to develop the first private sector led commercial fusion power plant in the UK. The project combines Type One Energy's 400MWe Infinity Two stellarator fusion power plant design with AECOM's engineering capabilities and Tokamak Energy's high temperature superconducting magnet technology and manufacturing expertise. The initiative complements the UK government's STEP fusion programme and builds on investments in magnetic confinement fusion technology, supply chain capabilities, regulation, and power plant siting. It also leverages experience from the Infinity Two fusion power plant project at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Bull Run site in the US, targeted for commercial operation in 2034. An initial licensing application has been submitted, marking a regulatory breakthrough.
