White stork, saker falcon, roller bird, and Dalmatian pelican are some of the birds protected by law for which we have installed nest supports or anti-electrocution and anti-collision devices. Find out more about our sustainability initiatives below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-white-stork\">The white stork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Evey summer, the stork census is taking place, a project that has reached its eight edition and is carried out by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sor.ro\/uite-barza-sapte-ani-de-cand-numaram-berzele-albe\/\">Romanian Ornithological Society (SOR)<\/a> with the support of the PPC companies in Romania, through the application \u201cLook at the stork!\u201d. Nature lovers are thus invited to take part in the fascinating adventure of counting the white storks that return to us in the warm season from Africa to nest here from March to September. They settle mainly in or near populated areas in regions with high humidity, such as the Danube Plain, near large rivers and in intramontane depressions. And that\u2019s not all! Because every nest has its own story, the public is invited to share these stories by responding to the \u2018Nest stories\u2019 initiative, where we look for and reward the most inspiring messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While in the past stork nests were mostly seen in old trees or on the roofs of houses, with electrification, electricity poles have become the preferred nesting place. This makes it all the more important to involve electricity distribution companies in protecting this widespread species in Romania, where up to 6.000 nesting pairs are usually found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As early as 2010, we started to install nesting boxes for storks, and more than 900 have been installed to date. In addition, about 6,500 poles in Banat, Dobrogea, and Muntenia have been fitted with electrically insulating sheaths. In this way, we manage to reduce the risk of electrocution for any kind of bird passing through the area, not only for storks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2020, in Dobrogea we have been involved in the transnational project <a href=\"https:\/\/danubefreesky.eu\/ro\/\">Life \u201cDanube Free Sky\u201d<\/a>, which follows on from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interreg-danube.eu\/approved-projects\/danubeparksconnected\">Life \u201cDANUBEparksCONNECTED\u201d<\/a>. The project involved inventorying overhead lines located in the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, pre-monitoring actions, as well as pilot activities against collision by marking the main power lines crossing the Danube. \u201cDanube Free Sky\u201d runs until 2026 and is being implemented in seven Danube countries: Austria, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania. More than 245 kilometres of priority power lines will be made more visible and more than 3.200 electricity poles that pose an electrocution risk to birds will be insulated in the targeted areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In Romania, the project is coordinated by the <a href=\"https:\/\/ddbra.ro\/\">Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve Administration (ARBDD)<\/a>, and within its framework, our company is developing actions to prevent bird strikes and electrocution. Anti-collision equipment is being installed on 35 km of medium and high-voltage lines. It is planned that 100 poles on medium-voltage lines will be equipped with insulating sheaths against electrocution, which will give priority to 12 species of nesting birds, including the stork. Re\u021bele Electrice Romania has already installed over 1,500 diverters in Dobrogea to date and isolated 60 medium voltage poles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Also as part of the Danube Free Sky project, for the first time in our country, warnings for large-winged birds such as storks will be drone-mounted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-roller-bird\">The roller bird<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To protect the roller bird, the Danube Delta Biosphere Administration will install 85 artificial wooden nests on the medium-voltage electricity poles in the Dobrogea area where Re\u021bele Electrice operates, also included in the Danube Free Sky project. This is yet another action demonstrating the strong partnership with ARBDD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/dumbravice.webp?w=1024\" alt=\"Pasare albastra stand pe un cablu electric, cu cer senin pe fundal\" class=\"wp-image-13590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/dumbravice.webp 1500w, https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/dumbravice.webp?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/dumbravice.webp?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/dumbravice.webp?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/dumbravice.webp?resize=99,66 99w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Roller bird.

In recent years, not only in Romania, the species has been in decline, which is why a number of European projects aim to conserve it by protecting its habitats. Even so, up to 6.500 pairs nest in our country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The use of pesticides in agriculture, which affects its food, and the felling of trees in which it roosts are endangering the living conditions of this bird, whose crimson and blue plumage catches the eye of anyone who happens to see it on its nature walks. We are working closely with specialists from the National Research and Development Institute \u201cDanube Delta\u201d to find the best solutions to support biodiversity in the river area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Also for the protection of the Danube, together with the <a href=\"https:\/\/milvus.ro\/\">Milvus Group Association<\/a>, has carried out a project through which about 800 medium voltage poles in Timi\u0219 and Arad counties have been equipped with specific electro-insulating sheaths.

Some of them stay in the cold season, but most migrate to warmer climates in Greece or Turkey. In addition to other common hazards such as surface water pollution, collisions with power lines pose a real threat to the lives of these large, grey-white birds. With the new warning devices to be installed in areas of Tulcea and Iezer-C\u0103l\u0103ra\u0219i, we are stepping up conservation measures and eliminating the risk of accidents that threaten these birds with an <a href=\"https:\/\/webgate.ec.europa.eu\/life\/publicWebsite\/index.cfm?fuseaction=search.dspPage&amp;n_proj_id=7248\">annual survival rate of only 80% for adults and less than 60% for birds<\/a> under two years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-saker-falcon\"><strong>The saker falcon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For the saker falcon, we have so far installed 34 artificial metal nests, provided by the Milvus Group Association, on high-voltage poles in the Banat region. In one of these nests, in 2015, for the first time in Romania, we installed a video camera with live transmission, with the participation of the <a href=\"https:\/\/wildwatch.ro\/\">Wild Watch Association<\/a>, so the activity inside the nest was monitored and today there are a series of images that help us to know the species better. The system is a complex one, powered by photovoltaic panels and equipped with antennas that transmit remotely, and over the years it has garnered countless views online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/soimul-dunarean.webp?w=1024\" alt=\"Soim maro zburand pe cer senin, cu aripile larg deschise\" class=\"wp-image-12364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/soimul-dunarean.webp 1500w, https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/soimul-dunarean.webp?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/soimul-dunarean.webp?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/soimul-dunarean.webp?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/soimul-dunarean.webp?resize=99,66 99w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Saker falcon.

The last half-century has not been kind to this large, aggressive, and fast-moving bird, which seems to have contributed to the increased conservation risks. Today, constant measures are needed to ensure its survival. A careful involvement can be found in the EU\u2019s Life program, which finances the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/saveraptors.org\/\">Life for Falcons<\/a>\u201d project, aimed at ensuring the recovery of the Danube falcon population, an endangered species in Bulgaria and southern Romania, a project in which SOR also participates, with the support of Re\u021bele Electrice Rom\u00e2nia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-red-footed-falcon\">The red-footed falcon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the legally protected birds found in Romania is the evening red-footed falcon, a small, bluish-grey raptor that nests mainly in the lowlands of Dobrogea, Muntenia, and the Western Plain from spring to autumn. It is a unique species of falcon, occupying the nests of other birds such as crows. Although the population trend is considered stable, the species is listed as \u2018near threatened\u2019. However, between 1.000 and 1.500 pairs are found annually in Romania. A program to conserve birds in Hungary and western Romania has been carried out through a Life project with the participation of the local environmental NGO Milvus Group, a constant partner of Re\u021bele Electrice in Banat for the protection of birds in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:16px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/vanturelul-de-seara.webp?w=1024\" alt=\"Pasare cu pene albastre si coada lunga stand pe un teren arid cu pamant uscat.\" class=\"wp-image-12367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/vanturelul-de-seara.webp 1500w, https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/vanturelul-de-seara.webp?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/vanturelul-de-seara.webp?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/vanturelul-de-seara.webp?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/www-preprod.reteleelectrice.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/vanturelul-de-seara.webp?resize=99,66 99w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Red-footed falcon.
