Motorization of stork deterrent systems

Improve the efficiency of deterring white storks (Ciconia ciconia) from building nests on the supports of REN's high-voltage power lines, mitigating operational, safety, and energy supply interruption risks.

Automate the movement of deterrents, improving efficiency in preventing nests on turbine supports through the implementation of motorized systems.

• Potential reduction in incidents on MAT lines associated with storks;
• Reduction in the number of deterrents installed and the associated maintenance requirements;
• Possibility of monitoring the system’s performance;
• Contribution to the reliability of the grid and to a better balance between the protection of infrastructure and that of birdlife.
