Benefits of attending Waterpower Week:
It’s the leading national waterpower policy-focused event!
Waterpower policy happens in D.C., and year-after-year, it connects industry professionals with key policy makers and leading political figures.
It's the first national event following passage of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Great timing, right?
Attendees will have the opportunity to explore the waterpower-related details of the Act together and how the implementation will occur, including distribution of the funds provided through the law.
This event brings a focus within the Capital Beltway to the importance of waterpower's role in clean energy.
WPW attracts high-level speakers from industry as well as regulators, government, and the halls of Congress.
Attendees benefit from educational/professional development opportunities.
WPW programming includes policy, relicensing, regulation, and safety topics. It’s also an chance for government officials and staff members to learn more about waterpower.
A planned advocacy programming, such as our Hill Visits, gives the industry the opportunity to raise our voice and educate policymakers at the White House, Capitol Hill and Federal agencies.
NHA is arranging a Lobby Day that all are invited to participate in. We’ll do the outreach and scheduling and provide participants with talking points—all you need to do is show up!
