power-lines
Overhead transmission cables
Power lines are the cables strung between poles or towers that carry electricity from generating stations to homes and businesses.
The term usually refers to the overhead wires visible along roads and across landscapes, though it can include underground cables.
Power lines appear in discussions of infrastructure, property values, and health concerns about electromagnetic fields: The view would be perfect if not for the power lines.
Also spelled as one word or two: powerlines, power lines.
