Avian Protection Program

SRP maintains an expansive power system to ensure reliability of the grid and meet the needs of SRP customers. This power infrastructure can pose potential hazards to Arizona's avian community.

To protect bird species in our service territory, we've adopted a voluntary Avian Protection Program (APP) and support programs that conserve and help recover species throughout Arizona.
