241112004941 - THE APPLICATION FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF AN EXISTING 132KV OMATANDO - OKATOPE TRANSMISSION LINE.

The ECC is for the operation and maintenance of the existing 132kV Omatando - Okatope transmission line. 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. This transmission line was constructed before the promulgation of the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) and its regulations. NamPower would therefore like to apply for the ECC for 132kV Omatando – Okatope transmission line in order to comply with the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) and its regulations.
