Abstract:

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 2021 NamPower obtained the Environmental Clearance Certificate for the management and operation of the 66kV Otjikoto - Tsumeb transmission line. NamPower would therefore like to apply for the renewal of the ECC for 66kV Otjikoto - Tsumeb transmission line to comply with the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) and its regulations. This application also serves as an amendment to the previous ECC issued to include Tsumeb Substation. The 66kV Otjikoto - Tsumeb powerline was constructed in 1972 and is 8.3 km in length. This transmission line runs from Otjikoto Substation to Tsumeb Substation in Oshikoto region. The Tsumeb Substation cover a footprint of about 1 749 m². This power line has towers made of Kamerad Hare Structures.
