Through the analysis of the corresponding Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for five wind projects set up on the Yucatan coast, in Mexico, this work seeks to draw attention to the environmental controversies that these projects generate. To carry out our analysis, we resorted to three sources of information that are part of the EIA process: (i) the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), presented by private companies, for these wind farms; (ii) observations and criticisms of the EIS, presented by the civil society during the public process to which the EIS is submitted; and (iii) the rulings emitted by the federal environmental authorities. This documentation was complemented by participation in a number of forums and some interviews. Based on this analysis, we defined a series of deficiencies in the EIA process. Accordingly, we can affirm that in Mexico, as in other countries, there is no wind energy plan capable of reconciling energy objectives with nature conservation. Renewable energy projects in Mexico have been designed solely based on the distribution of wind or solar resources, completely ignoring environmental or social issues. In this regard, a sustainable energy transition requires strengthening the environmental management capabilities of governments, and the application of mechanisms that will allow the integration of environmental variables in the early stages of decision making, using instruments such as the Strategic Environmental Assessment.

通过对在墨西哥尤卡坦海岸设立的五个风电项目的相应环境影响评估 (EIA) 进行分析，这项工作旨在引起人们对这些项目产生的环境争议的关注。为了进行我们的分析，我们采用了 EIA 过程中的三个信息来源：(i) 私营公司针对这些风电场提交的环境影响报告 (EIS)；(ii) 公民社会在提交 EIS 的公开过程中对 EIS 的观察和批评；(iii) 联邦环境当局发布的裁决。参与一些论坛和一些采访对本文档进行了补充。基于此分析，我们定义了环评流程中的一系列缺陷。因此，我们可以肯定，在墨西哥，与其他国家一样，没有能够将能源目标与自然保护相协调的风能计划。墨西哥的可再生能源项目完全基于风能或太阳能资源的分布而设计，完全忽略了环境或社会问题。在这方面，可持续能源转型需要加强政府的环境管理能力，并应用允许在决策早期阶段整合环境变量的机制，使用战略环境评估等工具。墨西哥的可再生能源项目完全基于风能或太阳能资源的分布而设计，完全忽略了环境或社会问题。在这方面，可持续能源转型需要加强政府的环境管理能力，并应用允许在决策早期阶段整合环境变量的机制，使用战略环境评估等工具。墨西哥的可再生能源项目完全基于风能或太阳能资源的分布而设计，完全忽略了环境或社会问题。在这方面，可持续能源转型需要加强政府的环境管理能力，并应用允许在决策早期阶段整合环境变量的机制，使用战略环境评估等工具。
