Understanding Your 街道照明 利率

Your street lighting electric bill consists of two main components:

  • 电气产品(EECC): Costs associated with electric generation and procurement

  • Utility Distribution Company (UDC): Costs associated with transmission and distribution, 公共目的项目, 核退役, the ongoing competition transition charge and reliability services

You will also see one of three UDC streetlight tariffs:

  • 费率表LS-1 管理有关可持续发展目标的服务&E-owned streetlights provided on an unmetered flat monthly rate, per lamp basis based on wattage.

  • 费率表LS-2 is the service that most street lighting customers are on. This tariff for unmetered customer-owned lights is calculated on a per-lamp basis, at a flat monthly fee based on the wattage. If you are on this rate, you will need to notify 西班牙&E whenever changes are made to your lighting inventory. 西班牙&E may also audit lighting inventories from time to time at its discretion.

  • 费率表LS-3 is for customer-owned metered streetlight service and has been closed to new accounts since 1979

There is no special rate for more efficient lighting. If you do decide to upgrade, simply advise us of any new lighting specifications.

For Customers on Schedule LS-2 (customer-owned lights)

If you upgrade your streetlights with 领导或感应 lights, let us know so we can make sure you’re billed at the correct rate. Your LS-2 per-kWh-rate remains the same. 然而, you’ll see significant savings on your bill for fixtures that are converted to these more energy efficient technologies.
 
If you install an 领导 fixture with a variable milliamp drive, we’ll need to bill at the higher driver setting wattage, unless the higher drivers are disabled. Many 领导 lamp manufacturers are aware of utility billing requirements and are offering to factory-disable the higher driver settings at the request of the customer, 在购买. Be sure to ask your lighting manufacturer about this service. Note: If the higher drive settings on multi-drive fixtures are not disabled, your rebate or incentive may be reduced..

For Customers on Schedule LS-3 (a metered rate which was closed to new accounts in 1979)

Customers on this schedule or any other metered rates will also see savings when they upgrade their lights. Your billing will remain the same; however, check with us before you purchase your new lights so we can tell you about incentives or rebates you may be eligible for.
