Established in 1976 and headquartered in Shillong, India, NEEPCO is a leading organisation in sustainable hydropower development.  

Its flagship project is the 600 MW Kameng Hydroelectric Project in West Kameng, Arunachal Pradesh, which has a design energy level of 3,353 GWh.

In becoming members, NEEPCO is committed to aligning all its hydropower projects with global best practices for environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance.  

It is dedicated to ensuring that each of our hydropower initiatives meets rigorous sustainability benchmarks.

By embracing innovation and responsible practices, we can ensure hydropower remains a key pillar of a sustainable future.”                      

Eddie Rich, IHA CEO, added: “I welcome NEEPCO as the latest member of the growing IHA family. India is developing its hydropower sector at a rapid rate.

I look forward to supporting NEEPCO's efforts in sustainable practice and governance moving forward.”
