Sentencia del Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Extremadura de 28 de abril de 2011 (Sala de lo Contencioso Administrativo, Sección 1ª, Ponente: Wenceslao Francisco Olea Godoy).

The High Court of Justice of Extremadura has confirmed the denial of authorization for the installation of a wind farm in the municipal terms of Oliva de Mérida and Valle de la Serena, in the province of Badajoz. The sentence is based on the fact that the installation of the park is incompatible with the determinations of the municipal planning, which classifies the land as non-urbanizable land of special protection. In addition, it is highlighted that state and community regulations establish that the generation of renewable energy prevails over the provisions of the planning. This decision is based on the joint interpretation of the applicable regulations in terms of land, territorial planning, electric power, and renewable energies. [Extracted from the article]
