The conflict surrounding wind power
projects in the Mexican Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Wind energy,
conflict, and politics of scale
by Rosa Lehmann
Large-scale wind farms are highly contested. In southern
Mexico, especially local residents protest against the
construction of these projects of transnational companies,
which generate electricity from renewable resources for end
consumers in other parts of the country. The Working Paper
describes the context and the main issues of conflict. It
examines with a perspective on scale, power relations and
politics, why and on which scale actors benefit or not,
which strategies actors pursue to assert their interests,
and on which power resources they can rely on in this
process of rescaling. The paper argues that this is a
fruitful perspective to analyze political processes and
conflicts related to renewable energies.
