That should be standard - and I'm sure the material properties support it. But add in freezing rain and it weighs down and eventually breaks the lines.
I am actually a proponent of burying the 50K Volt lines, but there are a lot of engineering challenges with cooling, repair, etc. and political challenges about property rights and eminent domain.
Texas has had several storms like this in the last 100 years lol. I'd settle for operating temperatures between -30' to 130'
