BUSINESSMAN Ralph “Bizzy” Williams has cited another instance of the authorities apparently dragging their feet when it comes to his solar power ventures.

Not only has the Williams Industries executive chairman been waiting for more than two years for permission to develop the country’s largest solar farm at Cane Garden, St Thomas, he also revealed that plans to increase the solar panels powering Sky Mall had been at a standstill.

Speaking to the media during a promotional giveaway at the Haggatt Hall, St Michael shopping facility on Saturday, Williams said that while Sky Mall had installed 150 kilowatt panels on the roof, it could hold 400.

He expressed frustration at the red tape involved in getting approval from the state. (TG)
