| Sumario: | Energy production plays a strategic role in the process of capitalist development and its cost of production varies, among other factors, according to the energy source used. For investors in this productive sector it is strategic to control energy sources, which implies the exercise of control over territories. The objective of this work is to discuss and problematize the current model of renewable energy production highlighting the wind sector in the Northeast region of Brazil, states of Ceará and Rio Grande do Norte. It is emphasized that there is an intense and violent process of dispute for territorial control linked to territories endowed with this energy source. On the one hand, international capital appears, often seen as an abstract and depersonalized agent; on the other the traditional communities, which have long been precariously established in the places that are now in dispute. The research is based on literature review, data analysis, cartographic exploration and field work. |
