In this context, the Geycek wind power plant located in Mucur district of Kırşehir province, which has a small-scale rural economy and where economic impacts can be easily followed, and its surrounding settlements have been selected as a research area. As a result of analyzing the data collected by the survey and the interview technique, it has been seen that the economic effects of the power plant are limited, it is far from being a development instrument for the region, and therefore the economic impact bundles of the plant have low level interaction with the acceptance processes.
