Title:

APP-002127: Amendment of the Environmental Clearance Certificate - for the construction of a Nampower Transmission Substation for B2Gold Namibia (Pty) Ltd 66 KV power line in the Otjozondjupa Region

Publication Year:
2020
Abstract:

This amendment is required for the development of the proposed Eldorado substation which will be located on a portion of Farm Maxwell No.82 northeast of the Otjikoto Gold Mine. The existing 66kV substation is not adequate for the Otjikoto Gold Mine electrical load. The existing NamPower 220 kV transmission is planned to be tied into; hence a new substation is required. The planned substation will be adequate to also allow for independent power producers to be established in the area with similar tie-in to the grid, by means of using the planned Eldorado substation. As set out in the amendment report, the expected changes are those related to the construction and operational activities of the proposed substation.
