Sophia project shrinks to move forward: new design for solar mega-plant enters public consultation
The revised solar energy project has been significantly reduced, with the panel area shrinking by 36.1% to 250 hectares and the fenced area decreasing by 32% to 1177 hectares across 22 sites. The project infrastructure has also been scaled down from two to one high-voltage 400 kV power lines.
