230817001898 - THE APPLICATION TO RENEW THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE EXISTING 220KV VAN ECK – KUISEB TRANSMISSION LINE.

The ECC is for the operation and maintenance of the existing 220kV Van Eck – Kuiseb 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. In 2020 NamPower obtained the Environmental Clearance Certificate for the management and operation of the 220kV Van Eck– Kuiseb transmission line. NamPower would therefore like to apply for the renewal of the ECC for 220kV Van Eck– Kuiseb line in order to comply with the Environmental Management Act (Act 7 of 2007) and its regulations.
