221215000711 - THE APPLICATION FOR THE RENEWAL OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE FOR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF AN EXISTING 132KV EFUNDJA – ONDJIVA TRANSMISSION IN OHANGWENA REGION

The ECC is for the operation and maintenance of an existing 132kV Efundja – Ondjiva transmission in Ohangwena Region. In June 2022, NamPower submitted the same application to the Ministry of Environment, Forestry and Tourism. However, the ECC portal stopped working, Hard copies of the documents were submitted too. NamPower was recently requested to re-submit the application. In 2011, NamPower received an ECC for the proposed formerly 132 kV Onuno - Ondjiva transmission line. The line was later renamed to 132kV Efundja – Ondjiva transmission line. The ECC has since expired. 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.
