NRG Systems’ Bat Deterrent Technology, Paired with Curtailment, Reduces Bat Fatalities at Wind Projects in Canada by Up to 91% | PR Newswire [Video]

The comprehensive six-year study led by Natural Resource Solutions Inc. (NRSI) confirms acoustic deterrents could improve conservation and energy production outcomes at wind facilities.

, /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Hinesburg, Vermont, USA – A landmark six-year study conducted by Natural Resource Solutions Inc. (NRSI) has shown that combining NRG Systems, Inc.’s pioneering Bat Deterrent System with operational curtailment can reduce bat fatalities at wind plants by up to 91%. The research, carried out on wind projects in Ontario, Canada, highlights the powerful potential of NRG’s ultrasonic acoustic deterrent technology to protect bat populations while optimizing renewable energy production.

“Our findings underscore the value of acoustic deterrents as an effective tool for mitigating impacts to bat populations without further increasing cut-in speeds for curtailment, enabling more effective wind energy development – a crucial tool in addressing climate change.” –Charlotte Teat, NRSI

The study, which spanned from 2017 to 2022, assessed bat fatality rates at two wind …
