Powering Massachusetts’ Clean Energy Future
Massachusetts stands at the forefront of clean energy innovation, with a long-standing legacy in nuclear research and academic leadership. Building on this foundation, the Commonwealth is poised to lead the development of a regional ecosystem for advanced nuclear and fusion energy technologies. The Massachusetts Roadmap for Advanced Nuclear and Fusion Energy outlines a strategic vision for state leadership across policy, infrastructure, workforce development and public engagement.
By assessing current capabilities, identifying gaps and fostering collaboration among academia, industry, government and communities, the Roadmap aims to position Massachusetts as a national and global leader in the transition to clean, advanced energy systems.
The Roadmap is led by UMass Lowell's Sukesh Aghara, professor and director of the Nuclear Engineering and Science program, with support from the Healey-Driscoll Administration.
