Join us: International Hydropower Association
With hydropower we can address some of the world's most pressing energy challenges. To make an effective impact we need to act now. The window to reach net zero by 2050 is closing.
Join like-minded organisations around the world who help us to promote sustainable hydropower as a clean, green, modern and affordable solution to climate change. With hydropower, we can make net zero goals a reality.
Join us as a member of the associationBy applying to become a member of the International Hydropower Association (IHA), companies demonstrate a commitment to our values: a commitment to sustainable, best-practice hydropower. Unless our sector demonstrates that hydropower can be developed and operated sustainably, it will not gain the trust of investors, governments and, most importantly, communities.
