The energy transition poses an urgent and complex challenge for territorial policies in Spain. This paper analyzes the main spatial planning approaches adopted by Spain’s autonomous communities aimed at regulating the deployment of solar photovoltaic and wind power installations, within the framework of the objectives set by the 2023–2030 National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC). Although the land area required to meet these targets is relatively low, the current rollout is generating uneven territorial impacts and growing social opposition. In this context, three key approaches are identified in regional planning: deployment criteria, territorial zoning, and landscape carrying capacity. The research concludes that there is sufficient room to regulate renewable deployment through legislation and planning that, without halting the transition, guarantee its sustainability, balance, and social and territorial acceptance. Furthermore, it highlights the opportunity this process represents to advance toward energy democratization, strengthening the link between energy, territory, and citizenship.
