Every year, the company carries out inspections of the technical condition of the power grid and takes measures to secure the sections that are most preferred for migration by migratory birds. To a large extent, these zones are difficult to determine, due to the fact that every year birds choose different places for the formation of their migratory flocks. Accurate forecasting of such clusters is a worldwide problem, and a comprehensive solution to address the problem has not yet been found.

Despite the long-term joint efforts of the company and the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds (BSPB) to isolate hundreds of power poles throughout the territory of North-East Bulgaria, there were reports of ridiculously dead and injured storks in the area of the village. Charbon, Varna region. Aware of the seriousness of the problem, after receiving the data, ENERGO-PRO together with BZPD took timely measures in this particular section to prevent similar cases in the future.

An organization was established in the company in the shortest possible time, after which the teams began placing stork harnesses on the pillars of the medium-voltage overhead line in the area.

Due to their biological aptitude, storks seek to land on the highest parts of trees and structures. Therefore, the installation of stork protection devices is carried out on the highest part and the highest console at the iron lattice posts, and in the case of reinforced concrete - on the highest part of the pole.

World practice shows that the safest for migratory birds is the underground power distribution network. However, this requires a large volume of investments that ENERGO-PRO does not have, due to the constant underfinancing of the costs necessary for the normal functioning of the company.
