The 132kV overhead line (OHL) between Harris and Stornoway is routed through both the Isle of Harris and the Isle of Lewis and is part of the Western Isles circuit that runs from Stornoway to Fort Augustus. This route is a wood pole line that was constructed in 1990 and consisted of a single circuit that runs for circa 58km. The location of this line is very susceptible to storm damage, with high winds affecting the region and therefore requires ongoing work and monitoring. The poles on the existing circuit have a history of storm damage in both 2006 and 2015.
