Namibia inaugurates new substations, transmission lines to advance regional energy infrastructure

OMUSATI, Namibia, Oct. 6 (Xinhua) -- Namibia inaugurated two new substations and a 190 km interconnector overhead transmission line in an event held in northern Namibia on Friday.

The Kunene Substation, located just 30 km south of the Angola-Namibia border at the Ruacana Power Station, and the Omatando Substation in Ongwediva are now seamlessly connected by the overhead transmission line. These facilities were constructed by the Chinese firm Sinohydro in partnership with a local partner.
