Resum

Galícia és un territori amb un fort desenvolupament de l'energia eòlica. La instal·lació de parcs eòlics va tenir lloc ràpidament, afectant zones de rellevància per al medi ambient. Aquest fet és especialment important en el cas de la Serra do Xistral, una zona que forma part de la Xarxa Natura 2000 i que té hàbitats prioritaris, especialment els relacionats amb les tortugues. Aquest document analitza, des del marc de la justícia energètica, el procés de desenvolupament de l'energia eòlica en aquesta àrea natural, posant l'accent en dos components del marc analític: la justícia processal i la justícia distributiva. Així, el treball identifica i caracteritza les granges eòliques situades dins de l'àrea protegida l'àrea protegida, estudia els procediments i la participació pública en les avaluacions mediambientals dels parcs eòlics projectats dins de la Serra do Xistral i discuteix les implicacions mediambientals de les polítiques públiques en el desenvolupament dels parcs eòlics en la Xarxa Natura.
