Post connecting a wind turbine

hopefully someone can assist:

I would like to erect two wind turbines on some farmland that has been offered to me for a cheap price. I need to connect to the national grid, the closest being the 3 phase line about 100m away.

is this a relatively easy process for someone like scottish power to connect?

im told that the line may not be able to handle the turbines but I dont think this will be the case because:
- its a 3 phase line
- its not the ned of the line, it continues for miles after it passes my land

im not an electrician so dont know the ins and outs, the turbines are 2 x 11KV each and are likely to produce somethere around 70,000kw of power per annum combined.

a general guidance and what i need to do would be helpful
