100 new Bird Protect installations in 2026, 485 worldwide
IRIDA AI Technologies has completed 100 new Bird Protect™ installations in 2026, bringing its global fleet to 485 systems.
The 2026 deployments so far:
| Country | Installations | Wind farms |
|---|---|---|
| Italy | 34 | 5 |
| Romania | 25 | 1 |
| France | 11 | 2 |
| Spain | 10 | 3 |
| Sri Lanka | 10 | 1 |
| Greece | 10 | 2 |
The milestone reflects a wider shift in the wind industry. Developers, operators, turbine makers and environmental consultants increasingly treat active bird protection as part of the project, not an add-on. It helps them meet permit conditions while keeping turbines running when no bird is at risk.
More is coming. IRIDA has also signed four framework agreements, two global and two national, including agreements with Greenvolt Group and Edison.
Thank you to our customers and partners, and above all to the IRIDA team, whose work in the field makes these numbers possible.
