International Hydropower Association (IHA) services

We track sector developments and promote cutting-edge research. Monitoring the sector: ‍The International Hydropower Association (IHA) monitors key trends and developments in all regions of the world. We also foster and coordinate scientific research and industrial innovation to address the most pressing challenges facing the hydropower sector. Our in-house experts provide briefings on news developments, sector trends and international good practices through our online community.

To change the world you need to bring people to the table. Connecting decision-makers: Through our conferences, workshops, digital events and online community, IHA brings together a diverse group of stakeholders, each with their own unique perspectives and experiences on hydropower. Every two years, we convene the World Hydropower Congress, the globe’s most important gathering for hydropower decision-makers, innovators and experts from industry, government, finance, civil society and academia. In addition, we organise regional high-level roundtables for CEOs and heads of international agencies, NGOs, business and banks, where members can speak with key decision-makers and discuss local policy priorities.
