The support framework for wind energy has always been positive but was greatly improved by a new law passed in January of February 2005 that greatly removed long-term tariff uncertainty. Not sure whether the new government was already in office at the time.

You are right - elections were held 20 February 2005, the law was enacted 16 February. (This was one of the points where I wanted to check on my memory before posting my pre-empted diary. )

it will be difficult to reach their stated objective of 3,750MW

Hm. I don't know about what plans are there to address the grid capacity problems, but the goal was raised by the new government first to 4,400 MW then to 5,100 MW (by 2010) - 1000 MW is built end of 2005, another 2,300 MW awarded, and your criticism concerns the tendering of a further 1800 MW in two tranches.
