APG symposia

In addition to ensuring a secure electricity supply in Austria, nature conservation along its power lines is also important to APG.

For this reason, species protection projects are developed in cooperation with NGOs such as BirdLife Austria, the Vetmeduni Vienna and the Research Institute of Wildlife Science (FIWI). APG is thus committed to ecologically sustainable route management and thus to nature conservation. At the APG conferences, experts exchange information on species protection on overhead power lines and transmission lines.
