Skeldon Energy Inc (SEI) officials said yesterday that safety and design issues at the sugar estate co-generation plant would require some US$17 million to be fixed in order for the facility to be operated efficiently.
Speaking at a press briefing after a tour of the plant located in the Skeldon Estate compound, Chairman of the SEI Board of Directors Lloyd Ross said there were “several design deficiencies; there was an issue with improper maintenance and an issue of training and operational oversight.” He added that several things were installed that have never really worked.
