In the United States, a tower is the part of a transmission line that holds the conductors in place and off the ground.
In the vernacular, this may be called 'power tower', 'electrical tower', et cetera, although in technical usage, it's just tower.
In other places, this is called a pylon. This usage is likely to be unfamiliar to the readers in the United States.
