The Royal Decree-Act 6/2009, of 30th April, laid down the inception of the Pre-assignment Registry for energy installations belonging to the Special Regime. It also allowed the possibility of establishing a specific schedule aiming to plan and control the commissioning of pre-registered power capacity for those technologies whose installed capacity exceeded the objectives set out by the Spanish Renewable Energy Plan 2005-2010. Accordingly, in this context, the Cabinet of Ministers Ruling in hand set up an organised power plant commissioning calendar for the years to come; focusing on Wind and Solar Thermal Electric renewable energy technologies, and up to the end of 2012 and 2013 respectively. It establishes a power plant commissioning roadmap which allocates an annual average installed capacity slightly higher than 1,700 MW for wind power and 500 MW for solar thermal electric power.
