Summary: The energetic issue is getting a high relevant in the global discussion in relation to
beget electric energy, specially because the historic process of electric production
has a lot of problem in the way to generation and obtainment, becoming a question
worldwide, because the needs of continuously increase of global demand, having as
a reason the growing of population and the economy in the globalization society. The
energetic future with the persistence of the fossil fuel shows a bunch of the problem
for the global society, such as: environmental inequality, air pollution, global warming,
among others. In Brazil, the wind energy has huge space to grow, but still need of
investment to take off; this sector of economy is one of the most promising and
environmentally sustainable sources. The countryside is increasingly being replaced
by non-agricultural activities, which has caused significant changes in its landscape,
for example, due to the installation of large wind farms, but the impacts on the
generation and use of this energy source are both positive and negative. The
municipality of Marcolândia, located in the Brazilian Northeast, stands out in this new
environment of clean energy, due to the significant amount of wind farms installed in
the "new" wind farms. To do so, the present research sought to investigate the
impacts of the implementation of a wind farm, taking as an example the municipality
of Marcolândia-PI, inserted in the Chapada do Piauí Wind Complex, discussing local
transformations, mainly in the physical environment (landscape) and Social. This
work is descriptive, with a bibliographical survey and carried out by means of a case
study. The research revealed that the most significant impacts on the physical
environment are related to fauna collision, mainly animals that fly with wind turbine
propellers, causing the mortality of bats. The socio-environmental impact has a direct
relationship with the leasing of land for the implementation of wind farms, the
increase of the purchasing power of the population, as well as the generation of jobs
for the local labor only in the initial phase of the enterprise, due to its low
qualification.
