Spain
Current Spanish feed-in legislation is Royal decree 1578/2008 (Real Decreto 1578/2008), for photovoltaic installations, and Royal decree 661/2007 for other renewable technologies injecting electricity to the public grid. Originally under the 661/2007, photovoltaic feed-in tariffs have been recently (Sept 2008) developed under a separate specific law frame due to the rapid growth experienced by this technology since release of the original scheme.
The current Photovoltaic decree 1578/2008 categorizes installations in two main groups with differentiated tariffs:
Building mounted
* <= 20 kWp: 0.34 EUR/kWh
* > 20 kWp: 0.32 EUR/kWh
Ground mounted
* 0.29 EUR/kWh
These feed in tariffs are capped at approximately 500MWp/y, of which 241MW ground mounted, 233MWp building mounted >20MWp, 26.7 MW <20MWp building mounted.
For other technologies decree 661/2007 sets up:
a) Cogeneration systems; maximum FiT of 13.29c€/kWh during lifetime of system.
b) Solar thermoelectric; 26.94 c€/kWh for the first 25 years.
c) Wind systems; up to 7.32 c€/kWh for the first 20 years.
d) Geothermal, wave, tidal and sea-thermal; 6.89 c€/kWh for the first 20 years.
e) Hydroelectric; 7.8 c€/kWh for the first 25 years.
f) Biomass and biogas; up to 13.06 c€/kWh for the first 15 years.
g) Waste combustion; up to 12.57 c€/kWh for the first 15 years.
