Moldova installs bird protection devices on power line

The Energy Projects Implementation Unit (UCIPE) has announced biodiversity protection measures for the 400 kV Vulcanesti–Chisinau Overhead Power Line project.

• Ten artificial nests were installed on pylons for the saker falcon, plus 1,000 bird diverters to improve line visibility and reduce bird collisions.
• UCIPE said the measures are part of the project’s environmental solutions and described them as a first for Moldova’s energy infrastructure; the article does not provide a date, cost, or implementation schedule beyond the installation already completed.
