Projects & experience

Health, safety and ESG across 51 wind farms.

Twenty years of on-site oversight — from wind farms and hydropower to motorways and waste treatment plants. That experience is the grounding for every project ADV takes on today.

Portfolio monitored

51 wind farms across Greece, Bulgaria and Poland.

Over many years at TERNA ENERGY, Antonis Vourtsis was responsible for monitoring them against health and safety, environmental and ESG criteria.
