The TICCIH specialist section for hydroelectricity and the electrochemical industry is a forum for TICCIH members and others interested in the history and heritage of hydroelectricity and the electrochemical industry.
In many places development of the electrochemical and hydroelectricity
industries were closely related, especially in connection with the
breakthrough of large scale hydroelectricity production associated with
the second industrial revolution.

The International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage (TICCIH) is the world organisation for industrial heritage, promoting preservation, conservation, investigation, documentation, research and interpretation of our industrial heritage. For more information on TICCIH, please see the organisation's main website, www.ticcih.org.
TICCIH organises thematic sections to help the members with specific interests to meet, communicate and collaborate with one another, promote the study and conservation of the heritage of each section. The section for hydroelectricity and electrochemical industry was initiated at the TICCIH Congress in Terni, Italy, in 2006. The Norwegian Museum of Hydropower and Industry has been given the tasks of secretariat for the section.
We invite all those who are interested in the section's subject area to join the section.
(Membership of TICCIH is not a prerequisite for participating in section activities.)
The section's goals and tasks, based on TICCIH's standard aims and objectives for their specialist sections, are – in short:
- to establish the new section as a well functioning network of interested members
- to organize activities that promote TICCIH, exchange of knowledge, and conservation of cultural heritage concerning hydroelectricity development and production and the electrochemical industry
- to establish a list/database of hydropower- and electrochemical plants thought to be of international historical interest
