The HY4RES Project, led by Trinity College Dublin and supported by the Interreg Atlantic Area Programme, is promoting an Open Day on the 8th April, at one of its community energy pilot site in Senhora do Salto, Portugal, a historic mill and surrounding building powered by a community-scale hybrid system combining hydro, solar PV and wind. The event is officially part of the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) 2026, as a Sustainable Energy Day.
The Open Day will gather contributions from local and academic experts on innovative energy efficiency solutions at Águas do Douro e Paiva, small hydro applications, and the Cepeda water mill rehabilitation project.
The session will focus on hybrid systems and their role in supporting local energy communities, covering its challenges and opportunities, and strengthening energy autonomy and resilience.
