LED Street Lighting
PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE State Administrative Procedure Act, NOTICE is hereby given of the following proposed rule:
Proposed Action:
The Commission is considering a proposal filed by Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation (Central Hudson) to modify its LED lighting options in its area lighting and street lighting service classifications in P.S.C. No. 15 — Electricity.
Statutory authority:
Public Service Law, section 66(12)(b)
Subject:
LED Street Lighting.
Purpose:
To provide customers with more efficient, lower cost LED street lighting options.
Substance of proposed rule:
The Public Service Commission (Commission) is considering a proposal filed by Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation (Central Hudson or the Company) to modify its electric tariff schedule, P.S.C. No. 15.
Central Hudson proposes to provide more comprehensive Light Emitting Diode (LED) options under Service Classification (SC) No. 5 – Area Lighting Service and under Rate A (Company owned and maintained) of SC No. 8 – Public Street and Highway Lighting.
The Company proposes that all SC No. 5 and SC No. 8 non-LED fixture offerings be supplemented with an LED equivalent fixture option where available including cobra head, specialty, post top, and decorative fixtures. The non-LED fixtures will be classified as non-standard and not replaced upon failure. The Company states the enhanced tariff options will satisfy municipal, residential and non-residential customer demand for higher efficiency, lower cost LED lighting. The proposed amendments have an effective date of April 1, 2019.
The full text of the proposal and the full record of the proceeding may be reviewed online at the Department of Public Service web page: www.dps.ny.gov. The Commission may adopt, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the action proposed and may resolve related matters.
