During the last two decades, the renewable energies have got a main role inthe world energy system, overall the development of wind energy. In this way, United States, China and the European Union have reached the leaders positions of instaled wind capacity, being Spain on a prominent level and specilly, the region of Galicia.
However, this expasion was not without controversy because social acceptance depends on the transparency of the administrative process for the implementation of a wind farm, the reversión of citizenship or benefits on the valuation of forest alnd where they are located. In Spain the wind sector evolved under markedly productivist public policy, stationing himself by not defining a comprehensive regulatory framework that would allow participation and defense of all participating agentes, as had happenind in countries such as Denmark, Holland and Germany. The absence of comprehensive regulatory framework that has been a defining feature of the wind farm in Galicia advance, whinch slowed the evolution of the sector and resultad in several complaints to the courts of justice.
We analyze the rules that regulated the wind sector in Galicia in the period 1995-2010, to determine the possible developments in the regulation, particularly on environmental issues.
