Until 2010 wind power in Spain had played a role most modern democracies
had tried to emulate: Being the advent of healthy employment andaccountable for a 200% increase of jobs in the Energy sector.
The Situation
The new Pre-allocation Register which was put in place duringmid-2009 and thethe lack of new regulatory framework wascausing uncertainty between key players.
The economical crisis had caused the suspension of orderswhich impacted on the industrys employment ratios.
Future capacity development was at risk threatening thegovernments commitment with Europe of achieving 20% finalenergy consumption from renewable resources by 2020.
The overall reputation performance of the Energy sector wasrapidly deteriorating. The public eye was (and is) on theEnergy sector, specifically on Gas and Oil.
The publics perception was being negatively influenced bymacroeconomic forces as well as industry specific factors.

The Internet hosted large amounts of conversations, communities ofinterest, activists and social media e-influencers that invested time and
efforts advocating for carbon neutrality and for the use of sustainableenergy sources.
The Challenges
A first e-insight report demonstrated AEE wasnt anactive voice in the webs social conversation. Out of 406total mentions regarding wind power, AEE was mentionedonly in 34 of them.
Its members doubted of the effectiveness of this new, and
mostly unknown, communications ecosystem.
The teams budget was modest but not their drive.
They decided that attempting to control thepower of social conversations was a dangerousgame but engaging in the dialogue, openly,authentically and in a way that made sense forinternal and external stakeholders, would payoff over time.
