According to experts, the main idea is to install self-supporting insulated wire (SIP) with a polymer sheath on 6–10 kV power lines. These sheaths act as a barrier: birds will not be able to come into contact with live parts, which means they will not be at risk of electric shock.
This is important not only for the safety of bird inhabitants, but also for the stable operation of power grids. After all, nests made of wire and scraps that birds build on poles and substations can often cause short circuits and accidents. Scraps falling on wires cause short circuits, leading to power outages and other problems.
Thanks to these measures, birds and power grids now work in harmony, and the risk of accidents has been reduced. The energy company assures us that this multi-level protection is the best way to preserve both birds and the stability of the region's energy supply.
