The start of construction on buildings equipped with rooftop solar panels could move ahead later this year at industrial parks in Warwick and St. Clair townships.
Montreal-based Real-Flex Business Parks announced plans in June last year for the $1.8-million projects in each community.
The solar panels are expected to be able to generate 250 kw of electricity.
Initially, construction was expected to begin early this year but vice-president Jon-Erik Dillon said the company is still completing paperwork needed for the solar panels.
“The capacity is there on the grid for us to do the project,” he said.
Marketing to attract commercial tenants for the 23,000-square-foot buildings should begin in the coming weeks, Dillon said.
But construction may not begin now until the fall as the company works to finalize plans and approvals for both sites in Lambton.
“We’re trying to do both developments at the same time,” Dillon said. “It just makes more sense.”
