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. NamPower would therefore like to apply for the ECC for the operation and maintenance of Obib - Lorelei T-Off transmission line in order to comply with the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) and its regulations. The 66kV Obib - Lorelei transmission line, commissioned in 2002, extends over a distance of approximately 38 kilometres. It connects the Obib Substation to a T-off point on the 66kV Namib - Lorelei transmission line. The infrastructure is supported by wooden pole structures.
