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.

Informational Sessions

The informational sessions provided an overview of the Massachusetts Advanced Nuclear and Fusion Energy Roadmap and explained how stakeholders could participate in shaping it. These one-hour sessions introduced the roadmap’s objectives, background, and engagement process, offering a preview of the stakeholder listening sessions and opportunities to get involved in this statewide effort to advance clean, safe, and innovative energy technologies.

The sessions were held on November 18, November 20, December 2, and December 10, 2025.
