In 2014, PSE replaced the two Agate Pass transmission lattice towers with four new steel poles. The lattice towers were built in the 1960’s and had reached the end of their lifespan, needing to be replaced. Not only are the new poles stronger than the old lattice towers, separating the two lines improves system reliability because they're not on the same structure.
