About the BHA
Flying the Flag for Hydropower in the UK
The only trade membership association solely representing the interests of the UK hydropower community.
Hydropower, or water power, is one of the most reliable, predictable and least environmentally intrusive of all the renewable energy technologies, and the British Hydropower Association (BHA) strives to ensure that the full potential and associated economic and community benefits are fully realised.
Membership of the BHA is open to all types of businesses, generators, commercial organisations, academia, charities, community groups, consultants, and anyone involved in or with an interest in hydropower. Our membership is diverse, covering all sizes and types of hydropower from pico (micro) hydro to pumped storage hydropower.
