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.
We protect birds that may encounter our infrastructure using a variety of protective devices, such as insulating covers, bird flight diverters and perches.
SRP is a member of the Avian Power Line Interaction Committee, which works with utilities, agencies and the public to protect birds without interrupting the delivery of electricity.
We’re proud to work closely with these organizations:
SRP, in conjunction with the Arizona Game and Fish Department and the US Fish and Wildlife Service, is involved in numerous efforts to protect endangered or federally protected species.
SRP has a more than 100-year legacy of protecting and preserving natural and cultural resources through responsible management and conservation.
Protecting and preserving natural and cultural resources is at the core of SRP’s mission. Learn more about SRP’s environmental programs here.
