The report noted that some wind farms have moved to reduce bat mortalities by cutting their turbine speeds from dawn to dusk in the late summer and early fall.

But even when they're operating below the cut - in speed, wind turbines still spin — and take a toll on bats.

On - the - ground research over the past decade at a number of operating wind farms has shown that will significantly reduce the collision risk for bats in low wind speed conditions when they are most at risk.

Research is also investigating new ways to minimize impacts, such as identifying the wind speeds at which turbines can generate power with minimal impact on bats, the use of devices to deter bats from coming close to a turbine, and whether certain turbine colours are more effective in keeping bats away.

Luckily, those bats are only likely to be in - flight around dawn and dusk at wind speeds between 2 and 5 meters per second — so Ecotricity and RSPB implemented a mitigation plan by which the turbine is shut off for half an hour before and after dusk, whenever wind speeds are below 7 meters per second.
