Bird Protection: E.ON Continues Cooperation

Bird conservation is a mission that is no longer just the responsibility of one organization - it is a shared goal in which everyone plays a role. For years, the Danube-Ipoly National Park and E.ON have been working together to protect birds.

The national energy company has been involved in nature conservation, including bird conservation, for decades. With the help of the Danube-Ipoly National Park, E.ON is continuously developing new and better bird-friendly solutions. This process is most important for electricity grids and pylons, because when a stork or a black stork lands on a power pole, it is important that the animal does not suffer an accident.

This time, the company made the electricity network near the Light Trail in Tata safe for birds. In the meadow near the nature trail, the electricity poles were rearranged so that they do not pose a danger to birds flying over them. E.ON also announced that it will continue its cooperation with the Danube-Ipoly National Park this year.

“Since 2019, all our new networks have been built in a bird-friendly way, and we are protecting the network elements we have installed in the past with improvements similar to those we are making today," Géza Nagy, Managing Director of Elmű Hálózati Ltd., part of the E.ON Hungária Group, said at the event.
