The search for new energy generation alternatives from renewable and clean sources aims to mitigate the socio-environmental impacts caused by the use of fossil fuels. With the establishment of this scenario, wind energy, which is obtained through the “wind movement”, has gained a lot of prominence. Due to Brazil’s geographical characteristics, wind energy has found favorable conditions for its development, especially in the Northeastern region. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze, in an integrated way, the social and environmental impacts resulting from the implementation of the Chapada do Piauí I Wind Complex in the communities located in the municipality of Marcolândia, State of Piauí, in order to correlate the advantages of wind power generation with the environmental and social conflicts that are identified and verified on-site. The implementation of the complex has caused ephemeral local economic dynamism and transformation in the landscape of the municipality. From that perspective, it is intended that the analysis in question can contribute to other studies that propose to discuss the transformation of the local landscape on the socio-environmental perspective, having as a background the implementation of wind energy technologies as an energy matrix.Downloads
