Story summary

Volaris Group, a company based in Toronto, has acquired Biodiv-Wind SAS, a French company that specializes in detecting birds and bats approaching wind turbines to prevent collisions. The technology, which involves acoustic deterrence or shutting down the turbine, was patented by Biodiv-Wind as far back as 2008. As a result of this acquisition, Volaris Group now owns essential regulatory compliance solutions for onshore wind farms in France. These detection-and-shutdown systems have been required by French law since at least 2010, and are seen as crucial to preventing environmental damage from wind turbines. Biodiv-Wind is considered the market leader in this technology.
