 The Proposed Development is part of a wider approach to rationalise and facilitate five wind farm connections in the area, referred to as the Connagill Cluster Grid Connections. The Proposed Development would eventually share the OHL connection with the consented Strathy South wind farm. The Strathy South grid connection would connect the consented Strathy South wind farm substation to the Strathy Wood wind farm substation via underground cable. From there both Strathy Wood wind farm and Strathy South wind farm connections would share the OHL infrastructure proposed as part of the Proposed Development. Due to the combined generating capacity of the consented Strathy South and Strathy Wood wind farms the shared connection would be unable to utilise the existing Strathy North trident H wood pole 132 kV OHL to Connagill substation. Instead a new section of double circuit 132 kV OHL supported by steel lattice towers would continue the connection between the Strathy North T at Dallangwell to Connagill.
