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. NamPower would therefore like to apply for the ECC for the operation and maintenance of Nabas - Aroab and Nabas - Rietfontein electrical reticulation systems to comply with the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) and its regulations. The Nabas - Aroab and Nabas - Rietfontein electrical reticulation systems supply electricity to Aroab Substation and various supply points including Rietfontein area. This electrical reticulation system is 213.8 km in length and is constructed with wooden pole structures. Aroab substation covers a footprint of about 348 m².
