The ECC is for the operation and maintenance of the existing 66kv Gerus - Welwitschia transmission Line. Under the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) section 27 the activity described as "energy distribution, transmission and generation" requires an Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) as it is a listed activity. In 2020 NamPower obtained the Environmental Clearance Certificate for the management and operation of the 66kV Gerus - Welwitschia transmission line. NamPower would therefore like to apply for the renewal of the ECC for 66kV Gerus - Welwitschia line in order to comply with the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) and its regulations.
