The European Small Hydropower Association (ESHA) is a non-profit International Association representing the sector of small hydropower. The association was founded in 1989 as an initiative of the European Commission. ESHA is a founding member of EREC (European Renewable Energy Council), which groups together all main European renewable energy industry and research associations. Since March 2000, ESHA has shared its headquarters with other EREC members in the Renewable Energy House, in Brussels.

The benefits at both economic and environmental levels that can be achieved by developing SHP are enormous. However, these benefits can be achieved only if use is made of synergies at the European, national and local level.

• ESHA serves to create a platform for actors in the field of SHP (from national associations to research institutions and industry) to represent their interests at the European level.
• ESHA encourages the exchange of technology and information
• ESHA organises studies and analyses environmental, legislative, technical and economic factors, which affect small hydropower
