In a quest to avoid continuous power outages in the areas bordering the informal settlements, in the Namibian capital, Windhoek, the City Authorities said major strides have been made within the first half of 2016.
An official, Joshua Amukugo on Thursday at a press brief said, efforts have been made to establish major electricity distribution supply points in areas that still await electricity.
Amukugo said, the construction of distribution stations around most of the informal settlements will cost the city close to 70 million Namibia dollars (about 4.7 million U.S. dollars).
"Otjomuise 6 and 7 will be supplied from a new substation and Moses Garoeb streets in Otjomuise, Okuryangava extensions (Okahandja Park, Ongulumbashe, Babylon and Kilimanjaro) will be supplied from the new Babylon distribution substation and the entire Havana extensions to be supplied by a new substation," he said.
"The projects are not complete and they are still ongoing, whereby project 2 and 3 are anticipated to be completed by end of July 2016 and project 1 before end of this year," he said.
"Namibian's should note that this is the first phase in bringing electricity into the area by installing electrical equipment and cables along all residential streets and the third phase will involve connection of electricity to individual housing units
