In Spain, building on the experiences from the more developed nations, a research project on an economic fiberglass distribution pole for electric energy transport lines was started. The paper describes the studies carried out in three phases: general survey, characteristics and properties, and economic aspects. The characteristics of the poles which are described are: light weight, electrical properties, easy installation, safety, low maintenance, longevity, vibration damping, environmental impacts, and mechanical properties. The economic analysis showed that although fiberglass reinforced composites cost more to procure, their life-cycle cost is less due to low maintenance.
