“Barbados takes next steps in its goal of self-sustainability in renewable energy and creates long term sustainable jobs.”
Bridgetown, Barbados: Barbados is working to become the leader in renewable energy as the Caribbean’s first manufacturing plant dedicated to renewable energy prepares to move forward.
At a media conference held at the site of the Kendal Hill plant, Deltro Group CFO Dean Del Mastro announced that it has obtained Town and Country Planning approval to proceed with the construction of its solar panel manufacturing facility, creating hundreds of jobs.“We are standing here today in front of the approved manufacturing site that will employee over 200 full time hard working men and women of Barbados,“ Del Mastro highlighted.
