A key conference on Energy concerns throughout the region was snubbed by 2 Cabinet Ministers from Barbados - Commerce Minister: Sen. Haynesley Benn and Energy Minister: Sen. D'Arcy Boyce. Both members of the Upper Chamber should have been present at such a key gathering of Energy officials looking at streamlining the process of assessing and billing costs to produce power for Caribbean peoples to use. The Caribbean Development Bank held a special convocation at their Conference HQ in Wildey today, among those present was a large cadre from Barbados Light & Power as well as St Lucia's Minister of Energy, Science & Technology. Dodging questions from the Media and in specific from Bajan Reporter was Peter Williams, Managing Director of BL & P. Mr Williams, when queried on if there are plans to regulate fees on providing energy as to if Barbadians would benefit, did not commit himself to the concern posed. Further, when Williams was asked about St Lucy residents' concerns of noises from Wind Turbines proposed to be built in the North, all the Director would indicate is Town & Country Planning gave permission for the area to be developed and BL & P awaited finalisation of sales of tracts of land from residents to BL & P for using the property to implement devices which have created concern in most areas where such devices exist.
