PVE Dolenja vas: A Commitment to Sustainable Energy Development PVE Dolenja vas is pivotal in advancing Slovenia's renewable energy infrastructure. The project in Dolenja vas contributes to the country's commitments under the EU's renewable energy targets and Slovenia's National Energy and Climate Plan (NEPN). The initiative showcases a balanced approach to energy development, prioritizing environmental stewardship, community involvement, and the application of innovative technology.

From 11 to 7 wind turbines
The first initiative included 11 wind turbines strategically located based on Wind conditions in the area, ensuring optimal energy generation, Suitability of peaks and ridges for wind potential, accessibility via existing routes or feasible new access routes, adequate distance from residential areas, and compatible with protected and endangered habitats. Despite meeting legislative requirements for distance and environmental factors, stakeholder feedback highlighted the need for further adjustments to reduce potential impacts on the local community and environment.
The optimized proposal reduces the number of turbines to seven, incorporating mitigation measures to minimize the visual impact on the landscape, reduce noise levels for nearby communities, enhance protection for local biodiversity and habitats, and address concerns raised by stakeholders and local residents. Local stakeholders' input profoundly influenced PVE Dolenja vas's planning process. The project team prioritized coexistence with the community, ensuring that the revised layout minimized the effects on people and wildlife while preserving protected species and habitats. The optimized proposal uses advanced tools and mapping technologies to position the turbines where they are least visible, demonstrating a strong commitment to harmonizing the project with its surroundings.

Why Dolenja vas? The area was selected due to favorable wind conditions and terrain for efficient energy generation, strategic positioning at appropriate altitudes, existing road networks enabling accessibility and transport, and proximity to necessary infrastructure for energy distribution. PVE Dolenja vas embodies a forward-looking approach to renewable energy, integrating cutting-edge technology with sustainable practices and reflecting a strong commitment to community collaboration.
