Last June, a group of students from the University of Évora had the opportunity to visit Hyperion Renewables' Vale de Moura photovoltaic plant, located in Évora. This visit, organized by Hyperion Renewables in partnership with the University of Évora's Chair of Renewable Energies (CER-UÉ), aimed to enrich the academic development of the students by providing practical experience on the operation of a photovoltaic park.

The Vale de Moura plant, operational since 2018, covers an area of 55 hectares with a total installed capacity of 28.8 megawatts. It was the first photovoltaic park built without public funding, with a long-term energy sale contract to Axpo, marking a significant milestone in the history of Hyperion Renewables and the beginning of a fruitful collaboration in developing clean energy projects in the municipality of Évora.

During the visit, students had the chance to explore the plant's facilities and gain a close understanding of the processes involved in solar energy generation. This experience allowed them to acquire valuable knowledge about the technologies used, operational challenges, and sustainable practices characterizing the operation of a photovoltaic park.

The partnership between Hyperion Renewables and the University of Évora reflects a joint effort to foster education and innovation in the energy sector. Both entities aim to empower the next generation of professionals and promote sustainable and efficient practices.

To further enhance sustainability and energy efficiency, Hyperion Renewables and the University of Évora are also developing an agrivoltaic project in the Évora region. This project aims to produce electricity from photovoltaic solar energy while simultaneously supporting agricultural activities, reinforcing their ongoing commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency.
