HY4RES’s pilot sites 🌍

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

Agriculture 🌱

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 that supply the country’s irrigation systems, and from the Peñaflor weir, which is used to irrigate the region. SEE MORE

Portugal

Castanheira de Pera

Community Energy 🤝

The pilot site at Castainheira de Pera and Marruge in Portugal concerns a community energy. The aim is to install a hybrid renewable energy system and implement software to manage the community’s energy needs. The system uses water from the small stream, solar energy captured on the surrounding slopes and wind energy. SEE MORE
