本文探讨了在希腊经济危机、国家结构调整和全球气候变化交汇的背景下，后危机时代的希腊风电场的发展。它阐明了由具体措施和战略定义的自然界新自由主义的持续过程。这些推动了希腊的一波绿色抢夺浪潮(公共和私人土地、金融和自然资源)，这些公司大多是跨国(能源)公司。绿色掠夺正在给当地牧羊人和农民、家庭和小型企业用电、养护和当地生物多样性造成不利后果，并导致生态分配冲突。危机后希腊的私人风电场是解决希腊经济危机和气候变化的社会生态解决方案。文章最后认为，大型私人风电场和公私合营风电场远非无辜。相反，它们隐藏在绿色和经济增长/复苏的证书之下，是资本主义复制和扩张的工具，在每种背景下具有不同的重要社会生态影响，需要迫切的经验探索。
This article explores the growth of wind parks in post-crisis Greece in the convergence of the Greek economic crisis, the country’s structural adjustment and global climate change. It illuminates an ongoing process of nature’s neoliberalisation defined by specific measures and strategies. These have facilitated a wave of green grabbing (public and private land, financial and natural resources) in Greece by mostly transnational (energy) companies. Green grabbing is leading to unfavourable consequences for local shepherds and farmers, domestic and small business electricity consumers, conservation and local biodiversity, as well as to ecological distribution conflicts. Private wind parks in post-crisis Greece serve as a socioecological fix to the Greek economic crisis and climate change. The article finally argues that large private and public-private wind parks are far from innocent. Rather, hiding under green and economic growth/recovery credentials, they represent a vehicle for the reproduction and expansion of capitalism with important socioecological implications varying in each context necessitating urgent empirical exploration.
