Perhaps those 11Kv lines are a bit too 'saggy' though ?.
How would they stay apart during high winds, which
are expected in that part of the country ?..

I don't think winds normally cause too much problem on 11kV. Trouble is,
they don't produce enough corona discharge to keep birds clear.

On national transmission lines the current they can carry is limited by
sag caused by thermal expansion, so they can carry more power at low
temperatures. A rare example of Sod getting it wrong.
