Barclays will bring its expertise across energy, infrastructure, project finance and capital markets to help the consortium attract private investment, engage the broader UK supply chain and align with the UK Government's Fusion Strategy.

The goal: a commercially viable fusion power plant operational in the UK by the mid-2030s.

This is the Sustainable Markets Initiative's private sector collaboration at work.

Four members, spanning technology, engineering, project delivery and finance, coming together to accelerate one of the most significant energy opportunities of our generation.
