(1) Under the first option, the transmission and distribution utility provides all of the components of the lighting system, including installation on the utility poles and maintenance, and provides electricity delivery to the lighting system from a power vendor selected by the municipality. The transmission and distribution utility shall apply a bundled monthly charge for these services as approved by the commission that reflects the total cost to provide street lighting equipment for each light and a separate charge for power delivery consistent with paragraph D. The location of lights must be determined in accordance with paragraph C;

(2) Under the 2nd option, the transmission and distribution utility installs all of the components of the street lighting hardware as selected, purchased and owned by the municipality on the utility poles owned or under contractual management by the transmission and distribution utility, and connects the light to the power source on the pole. The installed street lighting hardware includes the mounting bracket, mounting arm, luminaire fixture, time of use control mechanism and supply wire that meet appropriate wind and weight loading and service ratings for the installed location and otherwise conform to the municipality's design, light level, energy consumption and control choices. The transmission and distribution utility may apply a one-time charge per luminaire for the installation as established by the commission that reasonably reflects the costs of labor and materials needed for the installation and connection.

Any subsequent repairs made by the transmission and distribution utility to the mounting hardware or the power supply wire connection must be billed at a rate reflecting the costs of labor and materials as established by the commission. Maintenance of all components of the light fixture, including, but not limited to, the photocell, controller, bulb, light emitting diode array, light emitting diode driver, starter, lens or light housing, is the responsibility of the municipality or its contractor. Work on the light fixture must be carried out by trained individuals working under an agreement establishing lines of liability between the transmission and distribution utility, any telecommunications provider, if applicable, and the municipality owning the lighting equipment. The commission shall designate a standardized color coding for the wattage decals on street lights and for decals on the mounting arm, to differentiate street lighting infrastructure owned by the municipality from street lighting infrastructure owned by the transmission and distribution utility. Light locations, delivery charges and power supply options are governed by paragraphs C and D; and

(3) Under the 3rd option, the transmission and distribution utility connects to the power lines a fixture owned and installed by the municipality or its contractor on a pole owned or under the contractual management of the transmission and distribution utility. All of the provisions governing street lighting design specified in subparagraph (2) apply. Light locations, delivery charges and power supply options are governed by paragraphs C and D. Maintenance of the light fixture and mounting hardware is the responsibility of the municipality or its contractor. Installation of the street lighting hardware on the pole as well as any subsequent maintenance and repairs must be carried out by trained individuals working under an agreement establishing lines of liability between the transmission and distribution utility, any telecommunications provider, if applicable, and the municipality owning the lighting equipment. The commission shall designate a standardized color coding for the wattage decals on street lights and for decals on the mounting arm to differentiate lighting infrastructure owned by the transmission and distribution utility from lighting owned by the municipality. The transmission and distribution utility may apply a one-time charge per luminaire for the installation as established by the commission that reasonably reflects the costs of labor and materials needed for the installation and connection.

(1) Under the options provided in paragraph A, subparagraphs (2) and (3), the transmission and distribution utility may charge the municipality a one-time, make-ready fee as approved by the commission when a light is first installed on a pole, a larger replacement luminaire is proposed, a longer mounting arm is proposed or a different location on the pole is requested by the municipality. The transmission and distribution utility may not charge a make-ready fee if the current street light fixture and related hardware are being downsized or if the current light is being replaced with a unit having the same or lower wind and weight loadings on the pole. If a make-ready pole loading analysis indicates a support wire is needed, the transmission and distribution utility may charge a one-time fee covering the cost of labor and materials for the installation of the support.

(2) The transmission and distribution utility or telecommunications provider owning the pole may reasonably refuse to install or approve the installation of a street light fixture pursuant to this subsection if a make-ready pole loading analysis shows that the existing combinations of wire, transformer and wind and weight loadings does not allow for the additional loading of the street light fixture or if the proposed light would unreasonably interfere with existing uses of the pole. Upon such a refusal, the transmission and distribution utility must make available space on the closest existing pole that allows the municipality to provide street lighting levels that meet the relevant street lighting standards.

(3) The transmission and distribution utility has 60 days from the time a request is filed by the municipality to approve a specific pole for the installation of a street light including, as applicable, designating the location on the pole for the installation, approving the use of a pole with the condition that an additional support be added, or approving an alternative pole in the immediate vicinity pursuant to subparagraph (2).

(1) The power-only per kilowatt-hour delivery rate must reflect the flat load and negligible start-up demand of street lighting and include varying hourly rates that reflect the off-peak usage times of street lighting.

(2) For unmetered street lighting, the total monthly kilowatt-hour usage must either:

(3) For municipal street lighting systems as detailed in paragraph A, subparagraphs (2) and (3), the only reoccurring charge or fee the transmission and distribution utility may charge is a kilowatt-hour power-only delivery charge derived pursuant to subparagraphs (1) and (2) as approved by the commission.

(4) A municipality may choose the power supplier for its street lighting system, including designating the bill covering all of the municipality's unmetered street lights as one meter for the purposes of net metering.

(1) Twice a year the municipality may petition the transmission and distribution utility to transition any lighting fixtures and mounting hardware that fully depreciated in the past 6 months, or fully depreciated at some point in the past, to street lighting owned by that municipality and installed pursuant to paragraph A, subparagraph (2) or (3). If the mounting hardware is in serviceable condition, the municipality may acquire the mounting hardware for its current depreciated value and have the transmission and distribution utility install, at a replacement fee established by the commission, a new compatible municipally owned luminaire on the existing mounting hardware with the municipality assuming full ownership and ongoing maintenance of all components of the light fixture pursuant to paragraph A, subparagraph (2).

If the municipality elects to replace all of the fully depreciated lighting equipment, the requirements and fees provided in paragraph A, subparagraph (2) or (3), as chosen by the municipality, apply.

If completely new lighting or no lighting is installed, the transmission and distribution utility may not charge for the removal of fully depreciated equipment but may only charge the installation or connection fee for any installed replacement unit as specified in paragraph A, subparagraphs (2) and (3). The transmission and distribution utility shall negotiate a transition schedule with the municipality for continuous service.

(2) Twice a year the municipality may petition the transmission and distribution utility to transition all the street lighting along a road segment, all the lighting in a neighborhood or all the lighting in the municipality to new street lighting owned by the municipality pursuant to paragraph A, subparagraph (2) or (3). To the extent that installed hardware for individual street lighting units in the area designated for transition has not fully depreciated as described in subparagraph (1), the municipality shall pay the transmission and distribution utility an amount equal to the remaining not-yet-depreciated value of the hardware for any equipment the municipality chooses to retain or an amount equal to the remaining not-yet-depreciated value minus the current market value for each unit that is decommissioned. Once the remaining value, if any, is determined as specified, all other provisions of this paragraph for transitioning fully depreciated street lighting equipment apply to the fixtures and lighting equipment in the area designated for transition.
