ADES buys land in Fianarantsoa at the end of April. Already in mid-July, a building begins to grow on it without the use of large machines, but with a lot of manual labour. Five months later, ADES inaugurates a new factory with the largest celebration of its kind to date, doubling OLI's production capacity in one fell swoop. "In addition to the creation of more than 50 new jobs, it will be possible in future to expand awareness-raising among the population, increase sales activities and create interesting opportunities for further training," writes Otto Frei in a report. This major growth and thus the step into semi-industrial production is made possible by the support of EnDev, a programme financed by five European donor countries that promotes energy access in developing countries.

Great things are also happening in Switzerland in terms of real estate: ADES is buying office space for its headquarters at Grindel 6 in Mettmenstetten. According to Bulletin 1/2013, this means for the move-in on 6 July: "Board members, ADES staff and volunteers worked tirelessly all day. Thanks to discipline in reading plans, careful laying out of the numerous individual parts, safe hammering and screwing, and mutual support, all pieces of furniture found their proper place without scratches." The crew also seems to have escaped unscathed
