Policy engagement

Working groups

Where there are issues of concern to the whole industry, Â鶹ÊÓƵ convenes groups of member representatives to agree our positions and provide a sounding board for staff.

Policy committee

The Policy Committee is a sub-committee of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Board. It ensures that positions taken are supported by the membership and publications reflect the extant evidence.

Policy frameworks

Â鶹ÊÓƵ organises its policy work around five themes of Energy, Water, Climate, Money and People. We aim to identify and eliminate barriers to developing sustainable hydropower so that it provides its necessary contribution to a net zero world.
