The production of clean energy through fusion, which reconciles the energy needs of the modern world with safeguarding the environment, is a challenge that researchers and industries have been striving to meet.

Efficiency and power quality will play a key role in the energy scenario in the near future and industry and utilities are increasingly interested in innovations that make use of superconducting technologies.

JT-60SA is a fusion experiment designed to support the operation of ITER and to investigate how best to optimise the operation of fusion power plants that are built after ITER. It is a joint international research and development project involving Japan and Europe, and is to be built in Naka, Japan using infrastructure of the existing JT-60 Upgrade experiment. SA stands for "super advanced", since the experiment will have superconducting coils and study advanced modes of plasma operation.

The ITER project is aimed at the construction of a nuclear fusion test-plant, a tokamak, dedicated to the investigation of scientific principles and the technologies that will allow to exploit nuclear fusion as the world’s primary source of energy. 

Transmission and distribution of electrical power either on a large or on a local scale may be envisaged with MgB2 superconducting cables, particularly if the electrical current intensity is very high and particularly where DC can be used.
