Ørsted is minimizing the impact of wind power on birds
The numbers may already be small, but at Ørsted we care about making sure our activities as a wind power developer pose as small a threat to birds as possible.
Before we construct any of our projects, we undertake an environmental impact assessment. Among other things, this investigates the possible effect our project might have on biodiversity, including all birdlife. We submit this assessment to the relevant planning authorities and, where feasible, take action to mitigate predicted impacts as much as possible.
We also continue monitoring impacts throughout the operational life of the wind farm. On existing projects, this has included carrying out tagging studies to understand the movement of birds in and around turbine structures.
