will result in a reduction of 60% of new wind farms during this year

Castilla y Leon is the first region in terms of installed capacity with 3,882.72 MW

Madrid, February 2, 2010.- Last year 2009 has seen a sharp increase in installed wind power with 2,459 MW (1,609.11 MW installed in 2008), bringing the accumulated power to 19,148.8 MW according to the Wind Power Observatory of the Spanish Wind Energy Association (AEE), which collects data provided by owning companies and manufacturers and checked with the regional administrations. However, AEE warns that the wind industry slowdown, caused by the creation of the Register of Pre-Assignment, which has resulted in the loss of thousands of jobs will be reflected in the development of 2010, which according to sector forecasts will install about 1,000 MW, the lowest figure since 2000.
