Overview
- Galicia’s high court annulled the prior administrative and construction authorizations for the A Ruña III wind project in Mazaricos.
- Judges ruled the environmental impact declaration was improper because it evaluated the wind farm without jointly assessing the evacuation power line.
- The court also found insufficient analysis to prevent or mitigate potential harm to nearby Natura 2000 sites.
- The decision upholds an appeal by the environmental group Petón do Lobo, and the project’s promoter is Eurus Desarrollos Renovables.
- This is the first TSXG judgment on the merits after recent Supreme Court and EU court rulings, and it can be challenged by cassation with potential knock-on effects for other Galician wind projects.
