Royal Decree 1565/2010 seeks to modify the support framework provided for renewable energy projects by cutting financial support, especially to photovoltaic electricity production, improving the technical integration of renewable energy installations and easing administrative procedures. Government support for electricity produced from photovoltaic plants will be limited to 25 years and existing feed-in-tariffs for the installations under the framework of Royal Decree 1578/2008 (not for those under Royal Decree 661/2007) will be cut down by: - 5% for small-size roof installations. - 25% for medium-size (21 to 100 kW) roof installation. - 45% for ground installations. The Royal Decree further intends to support the technical integration of renewable energy and CHP (Combined Heat and Power) facilities with the implementation of a specific regulatory framework for R&D in the renewable energy sector, especially for innovative onshore wind installations.
