HY4RES will combine solar, wind and hydropower in hybrid systems for renewable energy production and will develop energy storage at micro-scale. The project, co-funded by the EU programme Interreg Atlantic Area, will provide affordable and sustainable energy solutions for agriculture, aquaculture, industry and domestic sectors.

Timeline
12.2023 to 11.2026
HY4RES will test hybrid renewable energy systems in 4 pilot sites located in Ireland, Spain and Portugal. The project gathers 9 partners with complementary fields of expertise.
Spain
Valle Inferior
The Spanish agriculture pilot site is linked to the Valle Inferior irrigation system, within the Guadalquivir basin in Andalusia. The area benefits from existing solar panels and the Peñaflor dam, which supply the local irrigation system.
Ireland
Co. Donegal
Located in the north-west of Ireland, in Killybegs, the aquaculture pilot site will combine wind and hydropower to supply energy to several fish processing facilities.
Portugal
Castanheira de Pera
Located in the remote areas of Castainheira de Pera and Marruge in Portugal, the pilot site’s ambition is to achieve energy self-sufficiency at a community scale.
Spain
Port of Aviles
Located in the port of Avilés, in the north of Spain, the port pilot site will implement a hybrid renewable energy system, combining solar, wind and hydropower at a micro-scale.
