Industry and Professional Association

The International Hydropower Association (IHA) is an international membership association and lobby group representing the global hydropower sector, with members in more than 120 countries spanning electricity generation, water management, construction and engineering. IHA was formed under the auspices of UNESCO in 1995 as a forum to promote good practice and knowledge about hydropower, and it employed its first full-time staff member in 2001. In 2004 IHA became a founding member of the International Renewable Energy Alliance, and it developed the Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Protocol together with the World Wildlife Fund and The Nature Conservancy.
