<p>The Government’s STEP Programme, the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production, will
design, develop, and build by the 2040s a prototype fusion power plant capable of
delivering energy to the UK grid. The Government has already committed over £240 million
towards the first phase of STEP which will develop a concept design for the prototype
plant. Hosted in West Burton, Nottinghamshire, STEP will play an important role in
demonstrating the commercial viability of fusion energy and galvanise the UK fusion
sector. Fusion Energy is anticipated to play a significant role in the UK’s energy
production from the 2050’s and beyond.</p>
