Every ray of sunlight, every gust of wind, every beat of the landscape carries the power of change.
The power to create a future that does not forget its roots.

At ADI, we believe that energy doesn't have to be a mere commodity - it can be a story of respect, wisdom and the courage to combine progress with respect for nature.
We work with cities, municipalities and businesses who want to build differently: sustainably, thoughtfully, with a vision of a world where innovation serves people and landscapes.

Because we believe that the greatest power for change is not in the energy itself, but in how we choose to use it.
 

What types of projects does ADI carry out?

We carry out energy projects mainly focused on renewable energy sources - photovoltaic and wind power plants, cogeneration units and decentralised heating systems.

Won't a wind or solar power plant spoil the landscape?

Modern technology today emphasises sensitive integration into the landscape. Projects are planned with respect for their surroundings and approved by the relevant authorities. For wind farms, for example, we select sites where they have a minimal impact on views and the aesthetics of the landscape.

Why should we as municipalities consider collaborating on a solar or wind farm?

Cooperation with us brings technical, financial and legislative know-how to the municipality. The projects help stabilize energy prices, increase the energy self-sufficiency of the municipality and bring long-term financial benefits to the budget.

Will the wind farm be noisy?

Modern wind turbines are very quiet - the noise level at a distance from residential areas is comparable to the sound of trees. Every project undergoes a noise study and must meet strict hygiene limits.

Can construction damage the environment?

On the contrary. Renewable energy contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions and protects the climate. Each project undergoes a thorough environmental impact assessment (EIA) and is governed by nature and landscape protection rules.

Won't solar panels create reflections and glare?

Modern photovoltaic panels are designed to minimise light reflection - they have an anti-reflective surface. Therefore, they do not cause glare for residents or drivers.

Who will benefit most from the project - the municipality or a private company?

The advantage of working together is that the municipality can participate directly in the ownership of the project or receive long-term financial benefits in the form of rent, shared profits, cheaper energy for citizens or investment in community projects.

How will citizens' concerns be addressed?

Every project involves open communication - we hold information sessions, explain the benefits and technical details. The goal is transparent cooperation, where citizens know exactly what is being built in their neighbourhood.

Will the project in any way restrict the daily life of residents?

The operation of the PV and CHP plant itself is quiet and emission-free. Short-term restrictions may only occur during construction (as with other construction work), but always with minimal impact on the normal running of the village.

Can the municipality stop the project if it changes its mind?

Each project is implemented only after the contract is signed and all legal requirements are met. The municipality has ample room to influence the shape of the project and make informed decisions during project preparation.

What are the concrete benefits for the citizens?

  • Stable and cheaper energy supply in the future.
  • Possibility to participate in community energy (e.g. sharing of electricity produced).
  • Financial contribution to the municipal budget (e.g. for infrastructure development, schools, public spaces).
  • Contribution to climate protection for future generations.

Is it true that wind farms kill large numbers of birds and bats?

Modern wind farms in the country have only a minimal impact on bird and bat populations. Across the country, wind turbines are estimated to cause the deaths of hundreds to low thousands of birds per year. This is many times less than the mortality caused by road traffic, power lines or domestic cats.

How many birds are killed each year in the country by other human activities?

For comparison:

  • Road traffic causes the deaths of hundreds of thousands of birds a year.
  • High-voltage power lines lead to the death of up to 340,000 birds per year.
  • Domestic cats kill at least 140,000 birds a year, but probably significantly more.
  • Glass buildings and windows are also responsible for hundreds of thousands of bird deaths per year.

Compared to these impacts, wind farms account for only a fraction (less than 1%) of all deaths.

Do solar power plants have a negative impact on birds and mammals?

The direct impact of solar power plants on birds is virtually zero. Solar panels are anti-reflective and birds hardly bump into them. Construction takes place in carefully selected areas to avoid destroying valuable habitats. In addition, the project includes measures (greenery, passageways for animals) that promote biodiversity.

How are the impacts on nature minimised during the construction of wind and solar power plants?

Each project is subject to a mandatory EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) process. This process includes:

  • Selecting a suitable site away from major migration routes and bird nesting sites.
  • A long-term biological survey (typically a year of bird monitoring).
  • Introducing measures such as undergrounding cables, making turbines more visible or stopping turbines at times of risk.
  • Reclamation of the area after construction and gentle fencing of solar parks.
  • Mandatory monitoring after start-up and, if necessary, curtailment of operations.

What happens if there is still an increase in bird mortality?

Should monitoring reveal an increased risk to birds or bats, the operator is obliged to take corrective measures. This may include, for example:

  • Temporarily shutting down turbines during migration periods or in poor visibility.
  • Technical improvements (modifications to the turbines).
  • Compensatory measures such as supporting populations of endangered species in other locations.
