Rosa Duarte, Álvaro García‐Riazuelo, Luis Antonio Sáez Pérez, Cristina Sarasa · 2022 · Energy Reports

Summary. Wind energy installations in rural Spain create mixed socio-economic effects that vary significantly by location and stakeholder group. A survey of residents in Campo de Belchite found heterogeneous perceptions of wind farms' impacts on employment, demographics, and local economies. The study shows that management models critically influence social acceptance, and recommends more decentralized, participatory, and transparent governance approaches to maximize rural development benefits.
