#006 Curtailment reducing bat mortality in Australia
Curtailment, or restricting turbine operation at low wind speeds, significantly reduced bat mortality by 54% at the Cape Nelson North wind farm in Victoria, Australia, demonstrating it is a valid method for reducing bat turbine collision in south-eastern Australia. Bennett, E. M., Florent, S. N., Venosta, M., Gibson, M., Jackson, A., & Stark, E. (2022). Curtailment as a successful method for reducing bat mortality at a southern Australian wind farm.
