Staff Workshop: Fusion Research and Development Innovation Initiative

The California Energy Commission (CEC) will host a remote-access staff workshop to discuss implementation of its new Fusion Research and Development Innovation Initiative. This initiative was created under Senate Bill 80 (Caballero, Chapter 334, Statutes of 2025) to accelerate the development and growth of fusion energy by advancing fusion science and technology. The staff workshop will facilitate a discussion on fusion energy research needs and barriers, and identify opportunities that could be supported by grant funding under the Fusion Research and Development Innovation Initiative.

The public can participate in the workshop consistent with the attendance instructions below. The CEC aims to begin promptly at the start time posted, and the end time is an estimate based on the proposed agenda. The workshop may end sooner or later than the posted end time.
