Abstract:

The ECC is for the operation and maintenance of an existing 66kv Khan - Henties Bay transmission line and Henties Bay substation in Erongo Region. The 66kV Khan - Henties Bay route runs north-westwards from the Khan Substation via the Trekkopje Mine area towards Henties Bay. This transmission line is 104 km in length and was constructed with wood (Kamarad) 5 pole structures in 1990. The Henties Bay substation is an indoor substation that covers a footprint of about 550 sqm. The 66kV Khan - Henties bay transmission line and Henties bay substation was constructed and there was no environmental impact assessment study conducted for the project prior to its development. It is therefore against this background that NamPower intends to apply for the operational Environmental Clearance Certificate in order to comply to the Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) and its regulations.
