According to Tekniska verken, which operates several hydropower plants, a record number of eels were saved during the past year.
– This is a kind of artificial respiration and we are far from the zero vision of reducing all man-made eel mortality. But we are taking a concrete measure that helps the eel here and now, while at the same time we have to work actively to fix the problems in the long term, says Jakob Bergengren, environmental engineer at Tekniska verken in Linköping.
In 2022, the company has helped almost 2,000 more eels than the year before.
– It is about about 2,800 eels from Glan, about 1,600 eels from Roxen and about 1,200 eels from the Sommen, says Jakob Bergengren.
