The European project "HydroPulse" is being debated in Madeira, bringing together entities linked to water, energy, environment and territory. The main objective is to identify challenges and opportunities for the application of this project in the Autonomous Region of Madeira.

The HydroPulse focuses on hydroelectric production and aims to make it more resistant to the effects of climate change. The debate on the island is bringing together specialists and organizations from different sectors to discuss how to implement this technology in a way that is appropriate to the reality of Madeira.

The participating entities are working to understand how HydroPulse can contribute to a more sustainable and resilient energy production, taking into account the particularities of the regional territory.

Why this matters

The residents of Madeira depend significantly on hydroelectric energy, making them directly affected by how climate change impacts water resources and energy production.
