AECOM Consortium Selected for Initial Phase of £200 Million STEP Fusion Energy Program

A consortium led by AECOM has been selected to support the delivery of the initial phase of the £200 million Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) fusion energy program. The project, which is spearheaded by the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), aims to advance fusion energy technology and establish a prototype power plant capable of generating clean and sustainable energy.

The AECOM-led team will provide engineering and technical expertise during the first stage of this ambitious initiative. The STEP program represents a significant investment in developing fusion as a viable energy source, with the goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions. The consortium’s role will include designing and planning critical infrastructure required for the project’s success. This marks an important step in advancing fusion technology, which has long been considered a potential solution to global energy challenges.
