Namibia hit by blackout

NamPower confirmed it experienced a power outage at 13h27 today, which affected most parts of the country.

The utility company said the outage caused the Aries/Kokerboom 400 kV line to trip. The line is the main line that feeds power from Eskom of South Africa to Namibia.

NamPower said tripping of the 400kV line affected other transmission lines, as well as two generators, at Ruacana and Van Eck Power Stations respectively.

“The cause of the outage is not yet known and is being investigated. Power supply to the affected areas was restored in phases, with the central areas being the first to be restored at 13h44,” it said.
