Axia Energia expands bird protection program across northeastern Brazil

AXIA Energia will expand its bird-protection project to other transmission assets in northeastern Brazil to help maintain grid reliability. The 2024 pilot covered 20 towers on Alagoas' 230-kV Rio Largo II—Arapiraca III transmission line, with half receiving interventions. Measures included perch deterrents and artificial nesting platforms to move caracara nests away from high-risk areas. Monitoring showed birds accepted the platforms; one relocated pair completed its reproductive cycle without affecting transmission line operations.
