4 LS -1 Option E
Background
• LS -1 Option E encourages local governments and street lighting customers to authorize SCE to replace aging utility owned street lights with new LED fixtures. • There is no up -front cost customers and SCE manages the project from start to finish. Current wait time is approximately seven months prior to commencing installation. • Fixture replacements are conducted quickly and safely, with virtually no disruption to local residents. There are no required outages and crews can work curbside safely. In fact, most people don't even know SCE has replaced fixtures on their block until they notice the new street lighting. There are currently more than 310,000 streetlights that have been replaced under this program throughout SCE's service territory.
• The new LED street lights utilize less energy and contribute significantly to the reduction of your community's carbon footprint in addition to lowering cost and energy consumption.
Technology
• SCE utilizes GE Evolve Roadway Fixtures as the LED replacement technology. The fixtures are reliable, dark sky compliant, and robust in a variety of weather conditions. These lights provide vastly improved "visual acuity", leading to increased night-time visibility and a safer environment for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians during evening hours. • The process of implementation is initiated once SCE receives the signed LS -1 Option E authorization and the jurisdiction confirms streetlight preferences (i.e. Warmer 3,000k or a mix of 3000k temperature in residential areas and 4,000k temperatures on main streets and arterials). Once color preference has been confirmed, SCE will order material and begin installation within about seven months.
• Life expectancy for the new technology is expected to be between 12-20 years. The streetlights will be replaced as needed by SCE as part of its routine streetlight maintenance program in the future.
Cost Recovery
• LS -1 Option E includes a recovery mechanism embedded within the tariff, which recovers the cost of the initial installation and materials over 20 years. Customers see an immediate reduction in street lighting costs after implementation on their energy bill and that savings grows after the initial 20 years. There is no up -front cost required and no interest associated with the recovery mechanism. SCE is happy to provide a savings outlook specific to your community.
• Savings are applied as soon as replacement efforts are completed. SCE credits an account from the date of completion, so that regardless of any billing implementation delays, the jurisdiction will still benefit.
