transmission towers
Electrical grid infrastructure
Transmission towers are tall metal structures that support high-voltage power lines, carrying electricity over long distances from generating stations to substations.
They're the skeletal steel lattice towers that march across landscapes in rows, distinct from the wooden poles used for local distribution.
Also called electricity pylons, especially in British English.
