Process: The Case of Wind Energy in Spain

The existence of numerous utility-owned wind energy parks in Spain is accounted for by a special status categorization for wind-generated power which allows utilities to avoid selling electricity on the market but instead receive a payment incorporating a subsidy. This has served to offset what otherwise would be a forbidding set of economics militating against extensive use of the alternative energy source.
