Currently we still don't know whether it's possible to generate more power than you need to maintain the fusion.

ITER is the European project that should test that. It still is an experimental reactor and won't generate power.

Several other reactors are currently being built, but only recently they started building ones that in theory could run for a longer time than a few minutes.

But nobody knows if it will be useful.
