The Outapi Town Council has launched a N$3 million electrification project in Extension 20, aiming to connect 55 plots to the power grid by September.The project is set to pave the way for immediate housing development.Funded entirely by the council’s internal resources, the project forms part of the broader Outapi Phase 1 electrical infrastructure upgrade. Of the 55 erven to receive electricity, 20 have already been allocated for residential use, while 35 remain available.Town spokesperson Joolokeni Haidula said the electrification effort began in early June and marks the final phase in preparing Extension 20 for housing. The area is already equipped with water and sewerage systems, positioning it for rapid development.“This project supports our goals under Namibia’s Vision 2030 and reflects President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah’s priorities for sustainable urban development,” Haidula explained.Residents are encouraged to visit the council offices to apply for the remaining plots and begin building homes.Haidula also stressed the importance of paying for municipal services to ensure the sustainability of infrastructure and future service delivery.The council described the project as a demonstration of its ongoing commitment to improved service delivery and strategic urban planning.
