More than 25 years of applied research

Regarding collision

• We identify, characterise and map the routes and flight paths of birds that interact with transmission lines.
• We install bird-saving devices on the grounding wires of electricity lines to increase the visibility of the cable and we check their effectiveness. Red Eléctrica has designed and uses two bird-saving models:
  • Bird-saving spiral
  • X-shaped bird-saving device

• We carry out field monitoring of the installed measures by using a methodology designed by Red Eléctrica and verified by experts.

Regarding nesting

• We design the nesting predictive tool
• We install nesting deterrents
• We install artificial nesting boxes on electricity towers and on substation buildings
