Since its establishment in 1994, the International Network on Small Hydro Power (IN-SHP) has dedicated its efforts to promote global SHP development with the aim of rural electrification. Its headquarters, the International Center on Small Hydro Power (IC-SHP) is based in Hangzhou, China. IN-SHP emphasizes the importance of the positive environmental aspect of electricity generation through small hydropower and the beneficial socio-economic effects rural electrification by means of SHP has on the rural communities.

As part of a larger scale SHP development strategy IN-SHP plays an important role as a facilitator of cooperation through its membership network, which comprises international organizations, private and public sector enterprises and individuals committed to the promotion of SHP development worldwide. The aim of this multi-tier cooperation is to match capacities and needs of the rural communities in developing countries that continue to live without a constant supply of energy, whilst ensuring a self-sustainable mode of development. Self-sustainability will be achieved by equipping the locals themselves with the skills needed to develop their SHP potential and thereby further develop all aspects of their communities. In addition to its role as a consultative body IN-SHP has undertaken tasks such as the carrying out of prefeasibility studies, organizing training workshops, publishing materials, and holding conferences at the International Center on SHP in Hangzhou, China.

IC-SHP has been actively organizing various small hydropower projects (training, consultancy, international SHP technology and equipment exchange) all over the world during its 10 years of experience in the sector.
