STREET LIGHT LOAD STUDY, FINAL QUARTERLY REPORT

In the category of electric utility customers--Municipal Street Lighting, there is an increasing need to properly assign costs to this operation. It is probable that the utility assigned annual burning time (hrs) for street light billing is arbitrary and as such has some weight of faulty tradition. Kansas City, MO, as intervenor in utility rate matters before the Public Service Commission of Missouri, has been increasingly concerned with the rate increase assigned to street lights. For example, the street light bill for Kansas City, MO, has increased from less than two million dollars to approximately six million dollars within a short time frame. The data collected during this project activity should contribute to a more improved costing concept for street lights throughout the US to the mutual benefit of the utility and to the street light customer.
