I'm not certain you can. Another faction can nail it with a defense pod, but I don't think you can use your own.

AFAIK only extense minerals may cause ecology penalty, but not energy. Am I wrong?
BTW it should be great feature to allow management of orbitals for every city, for example regulation of the amount of energy/minerals/nutrients the city receives from orbitals.

why would you want to reduce the amount of minerals/energy/nutrients from orbit? Your ecology is supposedly not harmed by them in anyway.

Of cause you don't want to decrease energy, but reducing minerals and nutrients may be useful.
The most big problem is minerals. For example, you have an advanced city with different factories wich has maximum minerals not causing ecodamage. And you have some new city, or just conquered city, wich lacks of minerals. So, you build nessus mines. With the expected result, you get ecodamage at your advanced bases. Of cause you may sell some factories, but those orbitals may occasionally be destroyed either by enemy defence pods or by some random event, so factories are more reliable.
As about nutrients, sometimes you may wish to obliterate base instead of taking care of it, and then sky hydroponics are not benefit.
