Best Answer

It depends upon the voltage; the higher the voltage, the taller the tower and the wider the right-of-way. A tower carrying 500,000-volt lines could be around 150' tall but it also depends on the terrain. The conductors have to be a certain distance from the nearest object, so power lines running across flat, open terrain can be on towers that are shorter than those used for lines running through the mountains, for example.
