Become
a US Hydropower Member
Activities
to promote the U.S. hydropower industry are conducted by
the US Hydropower Council for International Development. US
Hydropower membership includes a broad base of companies
including investor owned utilities and private power producers,
equipment manufacturers and suppliers, financiers, and consultants
including engineering, design, and legal expertise. US Hydropower
provides its membership regular communications and a chance
to participate in industry events such as conferences, trade
missions, policy initiatives, and emerging market opportunities.
US Hydropower
focuses exclusively on hydropower issues in the international
market. The organization is a member run council with
industry leaders working to provide input to global hydropower
development strategies. US Hydropower provides a point of
contact for foreign governments reaching out to the U.S.
hydropower industry. This can be an important resource
for individual companies as well as the industry as a whole. Since
1993, the US hydropower industry has received many requests
for assistance from foreign governments, including, among
others: Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Ecuador,
Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua,
Indonesia, China, India, Pakistan, Philippines, Turkey,
Georgia, Armenia, Russia, and Ukraine. US Hydropower
generally follows-up on such requests with trade missions,
policy recommendations and other assistance that involve
active participation and opportunities for interaction by
our member companies.
US Hydropower
coordinates seminars and educational events with the international
finance community, including multilateral banks, commercial
banks, and investment funds. These events serve to
educate financiers on industry specific attributes in the
international market, and also offers an opportunity for
industry members to become more familiar with the financial
institutions and programs.
The
US Hydropower Council for International Development serves
as point of contact for the U.S. hydropower industry to
foreign energy decision makers and project promoters. The
group actively provides industry expertise on policy reform,
joint venture partnerships and financial packaging for hydropower
projects. Industry leadership and Board of Director
positions are available.
