#006 Curtailment reducing bat mortality in Australia

Curtailment, or restricting turbine operation at low wind speeds, significantly reduced bat mortality by 54% at the Cape Nelson North wind farm in Victoria, Australia, demonstrating it is a valid method for reducing bat turbine collision in south-eastern Australia.
