This paper describes the planning, design and installation phases of a 138 kV submarine cable project which was recently completed by Central Power and Light (CPL) to improve the service reliability of South Padre Island and the town of Port Isabel. The project presented unique installation problems due to the shallow water depths combined with the necessity to minimize the environmental impact to sea grasses during the cable installation. This project resulted in the longest 138 kV extruded dielectric submarine cable circuit in the US.
