The years of economic and energy crisis...

2
00:00:13.566 --> 00:00:14.986 align:center position:25% size:50%
in Greece and in the world

3
00:00:15.072 --> 00:00:17.353 align:center position:25% size:50%
brought challenges and difficulties.

4
00:00:17.687 --> 00:00:19.920 align:center position:25% size:50%
At the same time, however,
they showed the way...

5
00:00:19.958 --> 00:00:22.344 align:center position:25% size:50%
for the energy autonomy of the country...

6
00:00:22.517 --> 00:00:26.937 align:center position:25% size:50%
through the transition
to energy from renewable sources.

7
00:00:29.579 --> 00:00:33.199 align:center position:25% size:50%
Operating in Greece since 2008...

8
00:00:33.309 --> 00:00:38.329 align:center position:25% size:50%
at Enel Green Power
we support a society with green energy.

9
00:00:39.196 --> 00:00:41.956 align:center position:25% size:50%
We actively contribute
to the sustainable development...

10
00:00:42.031 --> 00:00:45.591 align:center position:25% size:50%
and prosperity of Greece's regions
where we operate...

11
00:00:45.725 --> 00:00:49.199 align:center position:25% size:50%
applying the Creating
Shared Value model...

12
00:00:49.273 --> 00:00:51.847 align:center position:25% size:50%
finding new business opportunities...

13
00:00:51.959 --> 00:00:53.832 align:center position:25% size:50%
solving social issues...

14
00:00:53.952 --> 00:01:00.202 align:center position:25% size:50%
and combining competitiveness
with long-term development sustainability.

15
00:01:01.834 --> 00:01:03.927 align:center position:25% size:50%
Let's discover together our projects...

16
00:01:04.020 --> 00:01:06.994 align:center position:25% size:50%
but also the way
we support local communities...

17
00:01:07.082 --> 00:01:08.582 align:center position:25% size:50%
throughout Greece.

18
00:01:08.943 --> 00:01:11.436 align:center position:25% size:50%
We start our journey from Kalavryta...

19
00:01:11.713 --> 00:01:13.887 align:center position:25% size:50%
and the Lithos wind park.

20
00:01:33.783 --> 00:01:38.977 align:center position:25% size:50%
We are in Lithos wind park, located
10 kilometers away from Kalavryta.

The altitude is at 1,600 meters.

22
00:01:41.604 --> 00:01:45.144 align:center position:25% size:50%
The total power of the park
is 18.9 megawatts.

23
00:01:45.654 --> 00:01:51.422 align:center position:25% size:50%
In 2021, the 43rd Cycling Tour
of Kalavryta Sacrifice took place...

24
00:01:51.563 --> 00:01:54.610 align:center position:25% size:50%
whose route passed
through Lithos wind park.

25
00:01:54.977 --> 00:01:59.537 align:center position:25% size:50%
Thus we brought local community
closer to the wind park.

27
00:02:05.450 --> 00:02:10.650 align:center position:25% size:50%
the 43rd Sacrifice Cycling Tour,
a historic tour.

28
00:02:10.747 --> 00:02:12.927 align:center position:25% size:50%
This year was of course
a special year...

29
00:02:13.069 --> 00:02:16.409 align:center position:25% size:50%
since we collaborated
with Enel Green Power...

30
00:02:16.742 --> 00:02:19.001 align:center position:25% size:50%
as we share common goals...

31
00:02:19.096 --> 00:02:21.889 align:center position:25% size:50%
of reducing air pollution...

32
00:02:22.037 --> 00:02:25.838 align:center position:25% size:50%
as well as leaving green footprint
for the environment.

33
00:02:25.984 --> 00:02:30.571 align:center position:25% size:50%
It was the largest participation
of all time in this event...

34
00:02:30.863 --> 00:02:33.416 align:center position:25% size:50%
We approached 400 participants...

35
00:02:33.628 --> 00:02:36.381 align:center position:25% size:50%
which was unprecedented
for the Greek standards.

36
00:02:36.619 --> 00:02:42.584 align:center position:25% size:50%
We are very satisfied with the cooperation
with Enel Green Power.

37
00:02:45.583 --> 00:02:47.470 align:center position:25% size:50%
We are moving to Northern Greece...

38
00:02:47.750 --> 00:02:49.936 align:center position:25% size:50%
in the wider area of Kozani...

39
00:02:50.089 --> 00:02:54.029 align:center position:25% size:50%
where the Vamvakies
photovoltaic park is in operation...

40
00:02:54.279 --> 00:02:59.052 align:center position:25% size:50%
and our 60th project in Greece,
Perasma, is under construction.

41
00:03:00.061 --> 00:03:01.948 align:center position:25% size:50%
In the nearby village of Polymylos...

42
00:03:02.047 --> 00:03:04.587 align:center position:25% size:50%
Enel Green Power actively supports...

43
00:03:04.700 --> 00:03:07.727 align:center position:25% size:50%
the local community
with continuous initiatives.

44
00:03:12.076 --> 00:03:15.276 align:center position:25% size:50%
We are a semi-mountainous village...

45
00:03:15.384 --> 00:03:21.359 align:center position:25% size:50%
and we were lucky to cooperate
and have a company near us, Enel.

46
00:03:23.112 --> 00:03:25.490 align:center position:25% size:50%
Due to the COVID lockdown children
did not go to school.

47
00:03:25.577 --> 00:03:30.156 align:center position:25% size:50%
SPYROS AVRAMIDIS - PRESIDENT, POLYMYLOS COMMUNITY
They gave us equipment, and children
could all follow primary school lessons...

48
00:03:30.231 --> 00:03:32.828 align:center position:25% size:50%
from their computer
given by the company.

49
00:03:33.353 --> 00:03:38.473 align:center position:25% size:50%
At times, to people who were not
financially well-off...

50
00:03:39.088 --> 00:03:41.081 align:center position:25% size:50%
or had lost their jobs due to COVID...

51
00:03:41.478 --> 00:03:45.071 align:center position:25% size:50%
we gave 50 parcels with food...

52
00:03:45.246 --> 00:03:48.607 align:center position:25% size:50%
and we distributed them
to some families in need.

53
00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:52.766 align:center position:25% size:50%
They helped us with a construction
on the 5X5 pitch...

54
00:03:53.585 --> 00:03:56.978 align:center position:25% size:50%
Enel Green Power, in consultation with
the doctor who comes to the village...

55
00:03:57.065 --> 00:03:59.652 align:center position:25% size:50%
donated equipment
to the health center...

56
00:03:59.927 --> 00:04:03.022 align:center position:25% size:50%
that helps people in Polymylos
who are in need...

57
00:04:03.098 --> 00:04:05.417 align:center position:25% size:50%
and cannot be taken to a hospital.

58
00:04:09.323 --> 00:04:12.063 align:center position:25% size:50%
We are located at the Vamvakies
photovoltaic station...

59
00:04:12.233 --> 00:04:14.660 align:center position:25% size:50%
a few kilometers from the community
of Polymylos...

60
00:04:14.765 --> 00:04:17.218 align:center position:25% size:50%
and 40 kilometers
from the city of Kozani.

in the middle of the pandemic...

62
00:04:22.277 --> 00:04:26.309 align:center position:25% size:50%
offering jobs to the local community
in the summer of 2020...

63
00:04:26.593 --> 00:04:29.946 align:center position:25% size:50%
and completed early next year.

64
00:04:31.802 --> 00:04:36.889 align:center position:25% size:50%
At Enel Green Power we are committed
to a sustainability model...

65
00:04:37.196 --> 00:04:39.670 align:center position:25% size:50%
that strengthens local communities
and economies...

66
00:04:40.191 --> 00:04:43.050 align:center position:25% size:50%
through green social initiatives.

67
00:04:43.239 --> 00:04:47.605 align:center position:25% size:50%
VAMVAKIES A SOCIAL GREEN PROJECT
is one such initiative...

68
00:04:47.780 --> 00:04:51.807 align:center position:25% size:50%
which aims to promote
agri-food entrepreneurship.

69
00:04:54.410 --> 00:04:56.783 align:center position:25% size:50%
The program is based on 2 pillars...

70
00:04:56.994 --> 00:05:01.359 align:center position:25% size:50%
to empower a group of women
to work in the PV park...

71
00:05:01.573 --> 00:05:04.474 align:center position:25% size:50%
CHRISTINA BLACHAVA - AGRONOMIST
and to offer some educational seminars...

72
00:05:04.581 --> 00:05:07.867 align:center position:25% size:50%
which are addressed to all citizens
of Kozani.

73
00:05:08.353 --> 00:05:11.506 align:center position:25% size:50%
Starting from the soil analyses...

74
00:05:11.749 --> 00:05:16.109 align:center position:25% size:50%
and taking into account
the soil-climatic conditions...

75
00:05:16.238 --> 00:05:17.897 align:center position:25% size:50%
and the surrounding area...

76
00:05:17.957 --> 00:05:21.504 align:center position:25% size:50%
ELEFTHERIOS PAPAIOANNOU - AGRONOMIST
we ended up planting thyme, lemon thyme...

77
00:05:21.763 --> 00:05:25.429 align:center position:25% size:50%
mountain tea, Christ's thorn
and lemon balm.

78
00:05:25.888 --> 00:05:29.321 align:center position:25% size:50%
We took it upon ourselves to show
the group of women...

79
00:05:29.545 --> 00:05:32.435 align:center position:25% size:50%
the way of cultivation,
harvesting, drying...

80
00:05:32.533 --> 00:05:36.566 align:center position:25% size:50%
in order to arrive at the final product
that will be marketed.

81
00:05:37.047 --> 00:05:41.427 align:center position:25% size:50%
We have planted both in the empty parts
of the park...

82
00:05:41.701 --> 00:05:43.368 align:center position:25% size:50%
but also under the panels...

83
00:05:43.524 --> 00:05:46.838 align:center position:25% size:50%
with the aim of producing
the first product in Europe...

84
00:05:46.972 --> 00:05:48.484 align:center position:25% size:50%
from the land of a photovoltaic park.

85
00:05:50.417 --> 00:05:53.737 align:center position:25% size:50%
Our journey continues
in Heraklion, Crete...

86
00:05:53.896 --> 00:05:55.703 align:center position:25% size:50%
where for several years...

87
00:05:55.845 --> 00:05:58.118 align:center position:25% size:50%
alongside the operation of our projects...

88
00:05:58.182 --> 00:06:01.762 align:center position:25% size:50%
we have been carrying out initiatives
both for the local community...

89
00:06:01.968 --> 00:06:04.528 align:center position:25% size:50%
and for the protection
of the local population...

90
00:06:04.693 --> 00:06:08.047 align:center position:25% size:50%
of birds of prey
that pass through the area.

91
00:06:11.063 --> 00:06:14.149 align:center position:25% size:50%
We are currently
at the Kouloukonas wind park...

92
00:06:14.286 --> 00:06:19.193 align:center position:25% size:50%
about 50 kilometers west of Heraklion.

93
00:06:19.367 --> 00:06:22.713 align:center position:25% size:50%
THEODOROS NIKIAS - WIND PLANT SUPERVISOR, CRETE, ENEL GREEN POWER
The park is installed on a peak

94
00:06:22.833 --> 00:06:27.244 align:center position:25% size:50%
at a height of about 1050 meters
with an installed capacity of 5.1 megawatts.

95
00:06:27.371 --> 00:06:30.837 align:center position:25% size:50%
It is located in the area
where there are bird crossings...

96
00:06:31.185 --> 00:06:33.225 align:center position:25% size:50%
and for this reason
Enel Green Power Hellas...

97
00:06:33.532 --> 00:06:36.847 align:center position:25% size:50%
with the Museum of Natural History
and the University of Crete...

98
00:06:37.041 --> 00:06:41.036 align:center position:25% size:50%
made a collaboration
to study these flights...

99
00:06:41.131 --> 00:06:45.138 align:center position:25% size:50%
and the trajectories
of the birds over the years...

100
00:06:45.415 --> 00:06:48.881 align:center position:25% size:50%
and based on this study,
feeders were placed...

101
00:06:48.973 --> 00:06:52.573 align:center position:25% size:50%
around this area, on Psiloritis
and the Asterousia Mountains...

102
00:06:52.917 --> 00:06:56.211 align:center position:25% size:50%
which are on routes
far from the wind farm...

103
00:06:56.352 --> 00:06:58.371 align:center position:25% size:50%
and the rest of the wind farms
in the area.

104
00:06:58.530 --> 00:07:01.309 align:center position:25% size:50%
So, on days like today
that we have dense clouds...

105
00:07:01.457 --> 00:07:04.848 align:center position:25% size:50%
the birds have learned and head
to the feeders to eat...

106
00:07:04.949 --> 00:07:06.735 align:center position:25% size:50%
so they are not in danger.

107
00:07:09.703 --> 00:07:14.313 align:center position:25% size:50%
Our collaboration with Enel Green Power
started many years ago...

108
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:19.850 align:center position:25% size:50%
MICHALIS PROBONAS - HEAD OF ECOLOGY LAB, UNIVERSITY OF CRETE
through some programs to monitor avian fauna...

109
00:07:20.015 --> 00:07:24.589 align:center position:25% size:50%
i.e. birds, related
to the wind power plants...

110
00:07:24.705 --> 00:07:26.871 align:center position:25% size:50%
that Enel Green Power has in Crete.

111
00:07:26.939 --> 00:07:31.042 align:center position:25% size:50%
Since 2019, we have been implementing
programs in Crete...

112
00:07:31.227 --> 00:07:34.807 align:center position:25% size:50%
that have to do with the operation
and monitoring of feeders...

113
00:07:35.050 --> 00:07:41.938 align:center position:25% size:50%
i.e. areas that operate to provide food
for the birds of prey in the area...

114
00:07:42.032 --> 00:07:46.582 align:center position:25% size:50%
so that we can have mainly
in the months from October to May...

115
00:07:46.630 --> 00:07:48.514 align:center position:25% size:50%
a period which does not have
much food...

116
00:07:48.634 --> 00:07:51.524 align:center position:25% size:50%
to be able to strengthen the population
of these birds.

117
00:07:51.652 --> 00:07:56.960 align:center position:25% size:50%
From 2019 when we started programs
with Enel Green Power...

118
00:07:57.193 --> 00:08:00.439 align:center position:25% size:50%
until October 2022...

119
00:08:00.514 --> 00:08:06.719 align:center position:25% size:50%
we have put a total of about 12 tons...

120
00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:09.728 align:center position:25% size:50%
of food scraps or bones
into the feeders...

121
00:08:09.836 --> 00:08:14.502 align:center position:25% size:50%
which greatly enhance the population
of birds of prey.

122
00:08:16.336 --> 00:08:19.783 align:center position:25% size:50%
We close our trip
to South Evia, in Karystos.

123
00:08:20.248 --> 00:08:23.635 align:center position:25% size:50%
This area has the largest array...

124
00:08:23.688 --> 00:08:26.342 align:center position:25% size:50%
of wind farms in Greece, Kafireas.

125
00:08:27.010 --> 00:08:29.210 align:center position:25% size:50%
Both since the start of construction...

126
00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:33.680 align:center position:25% size:50%
and since 2019
when the park now produces energy...

127
00:08:33.800 --> 00:08:36.186 align:center position:25% size:50%
we have been
alongside the local community...

128
00:08:36.287 --> 00:08:38.473 align:center position:25% size:50%
supporting local associations.

129
00:08:38.716 --> 00:08:42.689 align:center position:25% size:50%
Since 2007 when I came to Karystos
we have been active in cycling.

130
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:48.739 align:center position:25% size:50%
In 2018 we founded our own cycling club,
and we organize races.

00:08:51.723 --> 00:08:55.890 align:center position:25% size:50%
In our endeavor, Enel Green Power Hellas
has been an ally and sponsor...

133
00:08:55.976 --> 00:08:59.376 align:center position:25% size:50%
which provides us with support
in whatever we ask for...

134
00:08:59.819 --> 00:09:03.412 align:center position:25% size:50%
in whatever event or activity
we want to carry out in the city.

135
00:09:03.627 --> 00:09:07.556 align:center position:25% size:50%
We recently did an event
for young children...

136
00:09:08.106 --> 00:09:12.799 align:center position:25% size:50%
which included all the toys
we remember from our childhood.

137
00:09:17.323 --> 00:09:20.883 align:center position:25% size:50%
The association has been active
in the area since 2006...

138
00:09:21.005 --> 00:09:24.905 align:center position:25% size:50%
and its main goal is to provide
primary social care...

139
00:09:25.043 --> 00:09:26.717 align:center position:25% size:50%
to people with special needs.

140
00:09:26.785 --> 00:09:31.202 align:center position:25% size:50%
The association has a creative employment
center in Kalyvia Karystos...

141
00:09:31.392 --> 00:09:35.305 align:center position:25% size:50%
where 5 to 6 people with special needs
are creatively employed every day.

142
00:09:36.109 --> 00:09:39.181 align:center position:25% size:50%
GIORGOS PANTELIS - SECRETARY, "HERI-HERI" ASSOCIATION
The van donated to us by Enel Green Power Hellas replaced...

143
00:09:39.268 --> 00:09:43.008 align:center position:25% size:50%
an old and malfunctioning van
that the association had until then.

144
00:09:43.350 --> 00:09:47.050 align:center position:25% size:50%
With this vehicle, all the needs
of the association are served...

145
00:09:47.091 --> 00:09:50.514 align:center position:25% size:50%
such as the transport of the disabled
to and from their homes...

146
00:09:50.656 --> 00:09:54.402 align:center position:25% size:50%
various external activities
that take place...

147
00:09:54.711 --> 00:09:58.091 align:center position:25% size:50%
and in general any need
that requires movement.

148
00:09:58.549 --> 00:10:01.042 align:center position:25% size:50%
The goal of the Heri Heri association
for the next few years...

149
00:10:01.076 --> 00:10:04.699 align:center position:25% size:50%
is firstly to continue providing
the services it provides...

150
00:10:04.827 --> 00:10:06.641 align:center position:25% size:50%
as well as to expand.

151
00:10:06.784 --> 00:10:10.664 align:center position:25% size:50%
However, in order to achieve this goal,
it is necessary...

152
00:10:10.848 --> 00:10:14.461 align:center position:25% size:50%
to have financial assistance,
such as that of Enel Green Power Hellas.

153
00:10:15.889 --> 00:10:17.749 align:center position:25% size:50%
The Kafireas wind farm...

154
00:10:17.943 --> 00:10:20.750 align:center position:25% size:50%
consists of 7 wind farms.

155
00:10:20.995 --> 00:10:25.767 align:center position:25% size:50%
With a total installed capacity
of 154 megawatts...

156
00:10:26.023 --> 00:10:28.912 align:center position:25% size:50%
it is our most iconic
project in the country.

157
00:10:29.236 --> 00:10:33.462 align:center position:25% size:50%
VAGGELIS SPYROU - GREECE ISLANDS AREA RESPONSIBLE, ENEL GREEN POWER
We are currently at the 30MW Mytikas wind farm...

158
00:10:33.487 --> 00:10:39.374 align:center position:25% size:50%
which consists of 13 wind turbines
of 2.3 megawatts each.

159
00:10:39.675 --> 00:10:42.549 align:center position:25% size:50%
Kafireas is Enel Green Power's
most important...

160
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.510 align:center position:25% size:50%
and largest wind farm in Greece.

161
00:10:45.990 --> 00:10:47.970 align:center position:25% size:50%
During construction...

162
00:10:48.260 --> 00:10:50.560 align:center position:25% size:50%
two archaeological sites came to light...

163
00:10:50.680 --> 00:10:54.640 align:center position:25% size:50%
parts of a quarry
and the ruins of an ancient furnace.

164
00:10:55.058 --> 00:10:58.072 align:center position:25% size:50%
Thanks to our contribution,
the spaces have been developed...

165
00:10:58.151 --> 00:11:02.304 align:center position:25% size:50%
and visitors are encouraged
to discover the new finds.

166
00:11:03.023 --> 00:11:06.549 align:center position:25% size:50%
At the same time, we carry out
reforestation projects in Evia...

167
00:11:06.704 --> 00:11:10.104 align:center position:25% size:50%
the most important of which
is Kastanologgos...

168
00:11:10.256 --> 00:11:12.530 align:center position:25% size:50%
a century-old chestnut forest...

169
00:11:12.604 --> 00:11:16.044 align:center position:25% size:50%
almost 1000 meters
above the surface of the sea.

170
00:11:17.470 --> 00:11:19.304 align:center position:25% size:50%
We are in a primeval forest...

171
00:11:19.917 --> 00:11:23.925 align:center position:25% size:50%
which due to abandonment and
intense overgrazing is decreasing.

172
00:11:24.072 --> 00:11:26.593 align:center position:25% size:50%
At the suggestion
of Enel Green Power...

173
00:11:27.111 --> 00:11:29.431 align:center position:25% size:50%
and in collaboration
with the Aliveri Forestry Department...

174
00:11:29.999 --> 00:11:33.786 align:center position:25% size:50%
DIMITRIS GEORGIOU - KASTANOLOGGOS REFORESTATION PROJECT HEAD
studies were drawn up with the aim...

175
00:11:34.087 --> 00:11:37.481 align:center position:25% size:50%
of restoring and expanding
Kastanologgos.

176
00:11:37.958 --> 00:11:40.611 align:center position:25% size:50%
The regeneration of this forest
has a peculiarity.

177
00:11:40.722 --> 00:11:45.716 align:center position:25% size:50%
We collect chestnuts from this forest,
from this area, from these trees...

178
00:11:46.250 --> 00:11:49.847 align:center position:25% size:50%
we grow them in the nursery
and bring back plants...

179
00:11:50.291 --> 00:11:52.758 align:center position:25% size:50%
that are adapted to this environment.

180
00:11:53.261 --> 00:11:56.550 align:center position:25% size:50%
We have collected seed
and taken it to the nursery...

181
00:11:57.065 --> 00:12:01.432 align:center position:25% size:50%
and hope next year
to exceed 12,000 plants...

182
00:12:01.532 --> 00:12:05.503 align:center position:25% size:50%
even though there is no experience
of growing wild chestnut in the country.

183
00:12:05.994 --> 00:12:10.180 align:center position:25% size:50%
I would say that we are probably doing
something almost groundbreaking.

184
00:12:16.897 --> 00:12:20.003 align:center position:25% size:50%
We integrate
into our business initiatives...

185
00:12:20.187 --> 00:12:23.667 align:center position:25% size:50%
and our active presence
in all local communities...

186
00:12:23.808 --> 00:12:26.302 align:center position:25% size:50%
in the areas where we operate.

187
00:12:26.612 --> 00:12:30.592 align:center position:25% size:50%
We thus strengthen our relationships
with local communities...

188
00:12:30.755 --> 00:12:33.908 align:center position:25% size:50%
and ensure the well-being of our planet.

189
00:12:35.420 --> 00:12:40.553 align:center position:25% size:50%
Recognition of our multi-year strategy
for Sustainable Development in Greece...

190
00:12:40.692 --> 00:12:42.258 align:center position:25% size:50%
constitutes our distinction...

191
00:12:42.418 --> 00:12:45.832 align:center position:25% size:50%
as one of the "Most Sustainable Companies"
in the country.

192
00:12:46.092 --> 00:12:50.505 align:center position:25% size:50%
We hope you enjoyed our trip
to Greece and our projects!
