The new development project ARETE PARK Valašské Meziříčí will provide over 25,000 sqm of premium space for light manufacturing, assembly, and logistics. In the summer of 2024, the third phase of construction was successfully completed in collaboration with an existing esteemed tenant, DB Schenker. The manufacturing and storage spaces meet the latest technological and environmental standards. The park features state-of-the-art solar panels with a total capacity of 999 kWp and charging stations for electric cars and trucks, in line with the group’s ESG strategy. The solar power plant annually supplies 950 MWh of clean energy to DB Schenker, with the surplus electricity delivered to the distribution grid. Additionally, two biotopes have been created within the park—a wetland for amphibians and a unique “frog castle,” offering shade, water access, and shelter from predators or during winter. These biotopes were developed in alignment with ARETE Group’s ESG strategy, not only to enhance the sustainability of our developments but also to increase the value of the fund’s assets. Park with its unique location provides excellent accessibility to the motorway network through a newly built connection to the D48 motorway enabling smooth transport in the direction Brno – Ostrava – Poland. A major transport advantage is the direct connection to the Slovak transport network. At the same time, the location is very attractive due to good access to the labor force and historical orientation towards light and heavy industry.
This project was implemented with financial support from the European Union under the National Recovery Plan.
The project involved the installation of a photovoltaic system aimed at increasing energy self-sufficiency and reducing the environmental impact of operations. The implementation contributes to the transition to cleaner energy sources and supports sustainable development.

Investment: Construction of a photovoltaic power plant
Project registration number: CZ.31.3.0/0.0/0.0/22_005/0001937
Project summary: The project will increase local production from renewable sources and their use at the logistics center currently under construction in the village of Lešná.
What is the goal of the project?
The purpose of the project is to install a rooftop photovoltaic power plant with an installed capacity of 999 kWp without battery storage at the project site in the village of Lešná, on parcel no. 590/4, LV 626, cadastral area of Lhotka nad Bečvou, building no. 102.
- Reducing the carbon footprint of local and nationwide electricity generation in the Czech Republic
- Reducing the need for centralized electricity supply and increasing the site’s self-sufficiency in meeting daily electricity demand
- Increasing the share of renewable energy sources in the target location and the overall share in the Czech Republic
- Collaboration with a logistics center on the supply of green electricity
What changes are expected?
Reduced electricity supply to the plant site. Increased local electricity production. The project’s implementation will also lead to increased electricity consumption from renewable sources and reduced consumption of energy from non-renewable sources. The implementation of this project thus has a clearly positive impact on the environment.
Installed capacity: 0.999 MW
Expected start of work: May 2022
Expected completion of work: June 2024
This project is co-financed by the Modernization Fund based on a decision by the Minister of the Environment.
Implementation has been completed.
