Lisbon, Sept. 24, 2025 (Lusa) - The Lisbon stock market closed higher on Wednesday, with the PSI index rising 1.32% to 7,914.88 points, with EDP Renováveis standing out with a rise of more than 6%.

Leading the gains was EDP Renováveis, which rose 6.19% to €11.32.

Work had been halted by the Donald Trump administration, which opposes wind energy, especially offshore.
