• South Padre Island residents express concern over AEP's mobile skid impact (krgv.com) — South Padre Island officials and AEP are moving quickly to place a temporary mobile skid power station on the Island to prevent long outages during substation upgrades, possibly energizing it by mid-June. Nearby residents worry about noise, proximity to homes, and impacts on wetlands, while the city argues the location is one of only a few workable sites and critical before the busy July 4th period.
