đź’ˇ What Is Security Lighting?
Security lighting refers to privately requested streetlight-style fixtures installed on or around a customer’s property. These lights are typically used to enhance visibility and safety in driveways, yards, or other outdoor areas.
This service is billed monthly under the applicable streetlight rate, which is separate from standard electricity usage. Customers who opt for security lighting agree to a fixed monthly charge based on the type and wattage of the light installed.
đź“… How Are Rates Determined?
Security lighting rates are comprised of a base rate aspect, subject to annual review as part of the Rate Cap and Adjustment Mechanism (RCAM) described in CUC's Licence, and an energy rate aspect related to the source of energy pass-through costs, which are reviewed and updated quarterly.
Rates for security lighting will depend on the wattage of the light(s), whether it is mounted on existing distribution pole infrastructure or would require a new pole be installed, and whether it requires overhead or underground service wiring.
