Lattice tower
A tower can be made out of steel profiles that are put together to form a lattice.
A lattice tower is very strong and inexpensive to manufacture.
That is because it does not take as much steel to make a lattice tower as it does to make a tubular one.

Tubular Tower
The best towers for large wind turbines are shaped like a tube that is slightly wider at the bottom than at the top.
You say that the tower is conical.
A tubular steel tower is very strong.
