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 132kV Omatando - Efundja transmission line and would therefore like to apply for the renewal of the ECC for 132kV Omatando - Efundja transmission line in order to comply with the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) and its regulations. The 132 kV Omatando – Efundja transmission line was constructed in 2012 and spans over a distance of approximately 30.9 kilometres. The line runs in a northerly direction from the Omatando Substation to the Efundja Substation, located south of Oshikango, traversing the Oshana and Ohangwena Regions. This Environmental Clearance Certificate (ECC) also includes the Efundja Substation, which occupies a footprint of approximately 13,439 square metres. The transmission line is constructed using guyed steel monopole structures.
