Global Launch of Major Energy and Technology Projects in 2025, Including Hydro, Fusion, and Quantum Computing
In 2025, a series of major energy and technology projects were launched globally, including a €120 billion hydropower station in Tibet and the world's first commercial fusion plant in Washington. Notable initiatives also included the completion of the Everglades Agricultural Area Reservoir Project in Florida and the construction of a million-qubit quantum computer in Chicago, alongside advancements in low-carbon steel production and AI robotics for solar panel installation. Meanwhile, the Hinkley Point C nuclear plant in the UK is facing rising costs, projected to reach €40 billion.

In 2025, significant global projects were initiated in energy, climate, digitalization, and industry, including a 60 GW hydropower station in Tibet and the world's first commercial fusion plant in Washington. The Motuo Hydropower Station, launched on July 19, 2025, aims for completion by 2033 at a cost of €120 billion.
The Everglades Agricultural Area Reservoir Project was completed in Florida on September 23, 2025, as part of a €22 billion restoration initiative. Helion Energy began building the Orion fusion facility with backing from Microsoft, targeting 50 MW by 2028.
Microsoft also contracted with Sweden's Stegra for low-carbon steel production, aiming for 2.5 million tons annually by 2028. PsiQuantum started constructing a million-qubit quantum computer in Chicago.
LeydenJar announced mass production of silicon anodes for lithium-ion batteries in collaboration with China's Highpower. Luminous Robotics deployed AI robots for solar panel installation in Australia. The Hinkley Point C nuclear plant in the UK faces escalating costs, projected to reach €40 billion.
