National Hydropower Association
The National Hydropower Association (NHA) is a nonprofit national association
dedicated exclusively to advancing the interests of the hydropower industry.
It seeks to secure hydropower's place as a climate-friendly, renewable and reliable
energy source that serves national environmental and energy policy objectives.
NHA unites the diverse North American hydropower community, providing a powerful
advocacy voice among U.S. decision makers, the general public and the international
community. Through membership, individuals and organizations gain access to
regulatory bodies, influence over energy and environmental policy and a means
to exchange valuable information with one's peers.
Founded in 1983, NHA represents 61percent of domestic, non-federal hydroelectric
capacity and nearly 80,000 megawatts overall in North America. Its membership
consists of more than 140 organizations including public utilities, investor
owned utilities, independent power producers, equipment manufacturers, environmental
and engineering consultants and attorneys.
