PSC -2018 -0270 -TRF -EI approval of revisions to lighting service ISSUED: May 30, 2018 contract, by Duke Energy Florida, LLC. The following Commissioners participated in the disposition of this matter: ART GRAHAM, Chairman JULIE I. BROWN DONALD J. POLMANN GARY F. CLARK ANDREW GILES FAY ORDER APPROVING REVISIONS TO SPECIFIED RATE SCHEDULES BY THE COMMISSION: Background On April 4, 2018, Duke Energy Florida, LLC (DEF or utility) filed a petition for approval of modifications to its Lighting Service (LS -1) rate schedule and lighting service contract. The LS -1 tariff is applicable to any customer for the sole purpose of lighting roadways or other outdoor areas. The tariffs, in legislative format and as approved here, are shown in Attachment A to this order. The proposed revisions are designed to update and clarify certain provisions of the LS -1 tariff, none of the rates and charges LS -1 customers currently pay are being modified. We have jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to Section 366.06, Florida Statutes. Decision DEF's proposed revisions to its LS -1 rate schedule (Tariff Sheet Nos. 6.283 and 6.284) and lighting service contract (Tariff Sheet Nos. 7.110, 7.111, 7.112, and 7.113) are attached. The revisions are discussed below. Each fixture shown in the LS -1 tariff indicates the lamp wattage (i.e., the amount of energy a lamp uses). DEF proposes to add language to indicate that actual wattages may vary up to five watts from the wattage shown in the tariff. DEF explained that the newer LED fixtures are more energy efficient in that they have equivalent lumen output with lower wattages compared to previous generation LED fixtures. Adding this language allows DEF to purchase more efficient products without having to update the LS -1 tariff to revise the wattages.
