The jury praised the long-term program of action to protect birds from mass death on high-voltage lines with bare wires. The program is being implemented by the Orenburgenergo Branch jointly with the Russian Bird Protection Union. So, in 2019 in the Orenburg Region, power engineers installed more than 6,250 bird protection devices on insulators of overhead power lines with a voltage of 6 and 10 kV.

The work on bird protection is especially relevant for the Orenburg region, which is the habitat and seasonal migrations of more than 280 bird species (including 67 species listed in the Red Data Book of the region).
