Prysmian’s cable laying vessel (CLV) Cable Enterprise has completed the installation of subsea cables for a new electrical interconnection between Tenerife and La Gomera, Spanish grid operator Red Eléctrica said. The double-circuit cable laying began on August 29 with two crossings from San Sebastián de La Gomera to Punta Blanca in Tenerife, ahead of schedule thanks to favorable sea conditions, the company said. Red Eléctrica said the design required lightweight materials capable of meeting the demanding conditions of the installation environment. Next steps include two cable protection campaigns in autumn and early winter, jointing of the cables in transition chambers, and testing in November. It will also enable Tenerife to take advantage of La Gomera’s surplus renewable power, according to Red Eléctrica.
