230308001110 - THE ECC APPLICATION FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF AN EXISTING 66KV RUACANA – RUCA - ETUNDA TRANSMISSION LINE AND RUCA SUBSTATION IN OMUSATI REGION.

The ECC is for the operation and maintenance of an existing 66KV Ruacana – Ruca - Etunda transmission line and Ruca Substation. The 66kV Ruacana – Ruca – Etunda transmission line and Ruca Substation were constructed in 1971 before the promulgation of Environmental management Act and its regulation and there was no environmental impact assessment study conducted for the project prior to its development. It is therefore against this background that NamPower intends to apply for the operational Environmental Clearance Certificate in order to comply to the Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) and its regulations.
