The Bali–Java Powerline is a planned electric power transmission line in Indonesia. It will be used for the crossing of the Bali Strait between Java and Bali. If built, the towers will be the world's tallest electricity pylons with a height of 376 metres (1,234 ft).[1]
The line on the Java side will begin in Paiton, then through Watu Dodo in Banyuwangi Regency, and on to Bali.[2] On the Bali side, it would be in parts of western Buleleng, Jembrana, Tabanan and Badung regencies.[3]
