Participation in Winwind Workshop

Agustín Riopérez, CEO of DTBird & DTBat, was one of the guest speakers at the recent WinWind Workshop, held on November 8th on the Island of Menorca (Spain).
The workshop focused on The new Balearic law on Climate Change and the opportunities to integrate wind energy in protected areas, bringing together regional authorities, technical experts, environmental organisations, and industry representatives.

Presentation on DTBird and DTBat system features

During the session, Agustín Riopérez delivered a detailed presentation on the key features and capabilities of the different DTBird and DTBat models. His talk included:

  • The role of automated monitoring systems in reducing potential impacts on birds and bats.

  • Visual and acoustic detection functions.

  • Real-time collision-avoidance tools.

  • The application of DTBird systems in both onshore and offshore wind farms.

  • Examples of operational results from previous installations.

This introduction helped clarify how DTBird systems contribute to improving transparency, regulatory compliance, and environmental reporting, especially in sensitive or protected areas.

Discussion on applicability in Balearic wind farms

Following the presentation, a discussion was held on the applicability of DTBird technologies to the wind farms proposed for the Balearic Islands. Participants analysed:

  • The specific environmental conditions of the archipelago.

  • The importance of monitoring protected species.

  • How DTBird WinWind Workshop contributions could support impact assessments.

  • The added value of long-term data collection for regional planning.

DTBird’s experience in projects across Spain and Europe provided relevant insights for regional decision-makers.

A valuable meeting point for wind-energy stakeholders

The WinWind Workshop offered an opportunity to share best practices and identify strategies to promote sustainable wind-energy development in areas with high biodiversity value.
DTBird’s participation in the WinWind Workshop reinforced the company’s commitment to supporting wind-energy expansion while ensuring wildlife protection through transparent, science-based monitoring tools.
