STEP Fusion

Today we announced that UK Industrial Fusion Solutions is becoming UK Fusion Energy, as the STEP programme enters its next phase. We’ve also announced ILIOS as our construction partner, as we move towards delivering the UK’s prototype fusion power plant at West Burton. Find out what this means from our CEO Paul Methven 🎥 #STEPFusion #FusionEnergy #IndustrialStrategy #EnergyInnovation

STEP Fusion is moving from research towards delivery. Following the announcement of UK Fusion Energy and the appointment of our Construction Partner ILIOS (led by NUVIA and @kiergroup), work will begin on the £200m redevelopment of our West Burton site, creating new opportunities for jobs and supply chains across the region. 🎥 NUVIA CEO, Tom Jones, shares his thoughts from our site. #STEPFusion #FusionEnergy @BassetlawDC | @WestLindseyDC | @LincolnshireCC | @NottsCC | @EastMidsCCA | @greaterlincscca | @VINCI

Great to welcome Cllr. Mick Barton, Leader of @NottsCC, along with Cllr. Bingham and Cllr. Semens to our West Burton site this week. With our construction partner ILIOS announced, we’re moving closer to delivery - creating jobs and building a fusion industry in North Nottinghamshire. #STEPFusion #FusionEnergy #Nottinghamshire #Jobs

@EdwardLeighGB We agree! And this week we’ve announced our Construction Partner ILIOS as we move to deliver our prototype fusion power plant at West Burton - creating high skilled jobs and amazing opportunities for local people.

The nuclear fusion site at West Burton, 2 miles from Gainsborough, will unleash millions of pounds in investment and bring thousands of jobs. When it comes to science Britain isn't broken, it leads the world!

Fusion energy has the potential to deliver clean, secure and near limitless power for generations. The UK’s new Fusion Strategy backs the sector with £2.5 billion of investment - helping to deliver our world-leading prototype fusion power plant in North Nottinghamshire. Science Minister, Lord Vallance, has more on the government's Fusion Strategy here. 🎬 #FusionEnergy #STEPFusion #FusionStrategy #IndustrialStrategy @energygovuk | @UKAEAofficial

Fantastic to see our Construction Partner announcement highlighted in the news today. As we move closer to delivery, this brings real opportunities for local jobs, apprenticeships, skills development, supply chain growth and regional regeneration.

What does it take to build a fusion energy campus? 🎬 Inspired by STEP Fusion at West Burton, Fusion Campus Tycoon lets young people explore the decisions behind delivering a major infrastructure programme. Find out more... with a retro twist 👀 #STEPFusion #FusionEnergy #STEM

Behind every major infrastructure programme is a team helping people understand why it matters. 🤝 Meet the communications and engagement team behind STEP Fusion. From industry events and exhibitions to school outreach and public consultation, they help explain not just the science of fusion - but the opportunity it represents. ✨ #STEPFusion #FusionEnergy

Exciting progress at our West Burton site 🏗️ Our office expansion is underway, adding modular buildings and increasing capacity to 120 desks as the STEP Fusion team grows 🏢📈 Another step forward as we work to deliver the UK’s first prototype fusion power plant. #STEPFusion #FusionEnergy

STEP Fusion will be at Fusion Fest in London this April, hosted by @economistimpact. Our Director of Organisational Performance, Ryan Ramsey, will be speaking. Fusion is moving from ambition to action — and programmes like ours are focused on turning strategy into delivery. 🔗 Find out more: invt.io/1lxbfml34bl #EconFusionFest #FusionFest #FusionEnergy #STEPFusion

Great to welcome Councillors Jody Stoll and David Clark from @NottsCC to our West Burton site today. Important conversations on local engagement and regional opportunity - and a chance to see the scale of our programme first hand. #STEPFusion #FusionEnergy #RegionalGrowth

Our Director of Organisational Performance, Ryan Ramsey, spoke at FusionXInvest in Munich - now one of the largest global gatherings of the fusion ecosystem. The shift is clear: fusion is moving from scientific possibility to industrial reality. The conversation is about grid integration, financing, supply chains and delivery confidence. Fusion isn’t just science. It’s industrial strategy in action. #FusionEnergy #STEPFusion #IndustrialStrategy #EnergySecurity

A few weeks ago, we received a handwritten letter from two local pupils, George and William, who wanted to know how fusion could “change everything forever.” Our outreach manager Jordan visited their school to answer their questions and hear their ideas. Great to see this excitement for the future of energy in our local community. #STEPFusion #FusionEnergy #STEM @westlindseydc | @lincolnshirecc | @greaterlincscca

Proud to sponsor FUTUREPROOF 26 ⚡ Great conversations with local businesses on clean energy and regional growth, plus updates on the UK’s prototype fusion power plant at West Burton and the Trent Supercluster. Robot dogs Tok and Mak were also a hit as always! @MarketingNottm_ #STEPFusion #FusionEnergy #FUTUREPROOF

Young people across Bassetlaw explored fusion energy last week as part of the Nottinghamshire Festival of Science and Curiosity ⚡🔧 At @BridgeSkillsHub, they created stop-motion, crafts and simple electrical circuits inspired by fusion, supported by @UKAEAofficial and @Maker_Futures. Inspiring the next generation of innovators. #STEPFusion #FusionEnergy #STEM @BassetlawDC
