The Kerinchi Pylon differs from other electricity pylons of comparable height, like those of Elbe Crossing 2, because is it not used for a powerline crossing of a wide waterway and that it is just a single structure.
It is the tallest strainer pylon in the world, all taller pylons are suspension pylons of long-distance spans.
