BACKGROUNDThe village has a giant experience in the field of renewable energies. Nagypáli would like to show people how to save energies around themselves. The village has a simple village lighting system, which is expensive for the municipality. They found a technique how to solve the problem with renewable energy.

OBJECTIVESNagypáli is a dynamically improving settlement in our days. The village's embellishment, contributes to the correction of the inhabitants' general condition. Our settlement lays a big emphasis, onto the direction of his public domains, his development. Additional vegetation is the forming of his setup, space lighting is the village centre's aesthetic appearance, in the interest of the forming of the more attractive settlement picture is justified. The car park which can be found in the centre is currently gritty, concerned with asphalt provided, the making of pavement justified, the present state his aesthetic appearance, neither though his function (due to rainfall soaked soil) does not meet the claims of the age. Nagypáli was one of the target of the öko-tourism lately , because of this the ordered village picture our parish from the viewpoint of visitors justified.

PROCESSOur aim is, that our settlement into a direction like that let us develop it where the people_nation feel well assured, where the natural environment, the public domain are cultured and clear one, which gives a framework, the healthy one and to the creation of a peaceful life, onto the conservation of the face of the settlement, onto continuing to improve him.With the application of the renewable energies the expenses of the space lighting not only the environmental load, but reduces the operational costs. The travel, economic attractiveness of the settlement increases due to the attractive settlement centre's forming. Nagypáli was the target of the öko-tourism during the latter years (Ökocentrum construction). Several groups visit into the parish in the framework of a vocational field trip in order to be allowed to recognise the renewable energy developments.
