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 2022, NamPower obtained the Environmental Clearance Certificate for the management and operation of the Harib - Khurub transmission line that has now expired. NamPower would therefore like to apply for the renewal of the ECC for the operation and maintenance of Harib - Khurub transmission line in order to comply with the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) and its regulations. The 132kV Harib–Khurub transmission line was constructed in 1999 and spans a total length of approximately 75 kilometres. It runs from Harib Substation to the Khurub Substation located in the //Karas Region. The transmission line is supported by wooden Kamerad-type tower structures.
