Government assigns part of Pego's energy to Abrantes ZLT

Observador14 September 2026 at 22:48

The Government decided to assign part of Pego's energy to the Local Technological Zone (ZLT) of Abrantes. This decision comes after a visit at the invitation of the municipality to the area in question.

The minister in question also delegated the local management of the ZLT to Tagusvalley, an entity that was previously under the command of DGEG (Directorate-General for Energy and Geology).

During the visit, the minister highlighted the importance of existing industrial knowledge in the Abrantes region, arguing that this should be used for the development of the technological zone.

The transfer of management to Tagusvalley marks a change in the administrative structure of the ZLT, which now becomes locally managed instead of directly by DGEG.

Why this matters

This decision transfers the management of Abrantes ZLT from national DGEG control to Tagusvalley, directly affecting local administration and its industrial development efforts. The transfer of Pego's energy to the ZLT may bring economic benefits to the region, which can now take advantage of its existing industrial knowledge. This change comes following a ministerial visit to the municipality.

Environment Minister "needs to do more". "If things continue like this, the Portuguese won't be able to cope"

Rui Calafate, a commentator for CNN Portugal, criticized the Portuguese environment minister, stating that she "needs to do more", comparing the actions of Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who "acted in defense of his populations", with the lack of support that Portuguese people are feeling from their own government. Calafate warned that "if things continue like this, the Portuguese won't be able to cope", suggesting that the Portuguese executive's response to environmental issues is failing its citizens.
