Work continues in a Belco asset retirement project to dismantle and remove hazardous material and take down buildings no longer in use.

The Belco website said that the programme was set up for several reasons, including the need for a thorough site cleanup and some safety concerns.

But it added that the project "ultimately was driven by the future requirements of diversifying our energy generating sources“.

The website said that the ARP, which started in September 2021, was expected to last between one and two years.

Wayne Caines, the Belco president, said earlier: “Everyone in Bermuda is a stakeholder on this journey and we appreciate your patience, understanding and support as we move forward with our work to meet our goal of achieving Net Zero by 2050.”
