Renewable energies, in particular wind power, represent a large part of the energy production in Spain. At the same time, Spain hosts a large number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Although the development of renewable energies represents a necessity, the installations often have a great impact on the landscape. In the case of an impact of these installations on UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a conflict might arise if the UNESCO World Heritage Committee considers this impact as a threat to the UNESCO World Heritage Site in question. In this context, the legislations on heritage protection, nature conservation and renewable energies should regulate this kind of possible situation in order to avoid potential conflicts. This article aims at offering an overview of the current trends in these three legislations (heritage protection, nature conservation, renewable energies) in Spain at the national and regional levels. In order to conduct this research a legal in-depth analysis of the legislations at national and regional levels has been implemented. The results show a great disparity among the autonomous communities legislations and also between the national level and the regional level. Finally, some recommendations are elaborated upon the most advanced legislations.
