This study analyzes the perceptions of social groups regarding the territorial and environmental changes promoted by wind farms in the municipality of Campo Formoso, Bahia. Using a Likert scale, ordinal logistic regression, and ACD, the results reveal asymmetrical perceptions: while the local community (ICIS = 2.21) and public authorities (ICIS = 2.52) classify impacts as moderate, companies (ICIS = 4.36) positively evaluate their own environmental management practices. Turbine noise was the most significant impact perceived by the community (M = 3.81). The Kruskal-Wallis test confirmed a statistically significant difference between the groups (H = 6.136; p = 0.046), and ordinal logistic regression identified that the community is 94% less likely to perceive high impact compared to companies (β = -2.826; p = 0.029). The ACD revealed a discursive hierarchy that occupies a hegemonic position, with the government presenting a fragmented discourse and the community articulating subalternized ecological knowledge
