Reformulation project reduces Sophia solar plant capacity by 34%

Diário de Viseu14 September 2026 at 09:45

The British multinational promoting the Sophia photovoltaic solar plant has significantly reduced the installed capacity of the project in its reformulation. The reduction reaches 34% compared to the original plan.

The company will submit this reformulation to the Environmental Impact Assessment authority. The deadline for submission is by October 2.

The Sophia project is a photovoltaic solar plant that was undergoing the environmental assessment process. With the capacity reduction, the project will be considerably smaller than initially planned.

Why this matters

The 34% reduction in the Sophia solar plant capacity may affect renewable energy investment plans in the region and clean energy generation expectations. Readers need to know that the project is still in the environmental assessment phase and that the final dimensions of the plant may differ from those initially planned.
