Exterior Lighting Report
Each electric utility files as part of its annual report information about the progress to date in converting company-owned exterior flood lighting to high pressure sodium or lighting of equivalent or higher energy efficiency. (199 Iowa Administrative Code rules 20.16 and 27.13 apply to rate-regulated and municipal/rural electric cooperative utilities, respectively.) Legislation in 1989 approved the regulation of public utility-owned and city-owned exterior flood lighting. It states that all newly installed exterior lighting shall be high pressure sodium lighting or lighting with equivalent or better energy efficiency.
The status of exterior lighting as of December 31, 2022, as reported to the IUB in the annual reports, follows. The information for 2017 and earlier was filed as part of the requirement in 199 IAC chapter 35 Energy Efficiency Planning and Cost Review. There were no reports for 2018, 2019, or 2020. New filings pursuant to 199 IAC chapters 20 and 27 will begin with 2022 annual report filings.
TYPE OF UTILITY | FIXTURES CONVERTED | PERCENT CONVERTED | FIXTURES NOT CONVERTED | TOTAL FIXTURES |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Investor-owned Electric Totals | 266,117 | 99.07% | 2,495 | 268,612 |
Interstate Power and Light Co. | 113,385 | 99.57% | 478 | 113,863 |
MidAmerican Energy Co. | 152,732 | 98.67% | 2,017 | 154,749 |
Municipal Electrics | 62,568 | 96.89% | 2,006 | 64,574 |
Rural Electric Cooperatives | 43,748 | 89.75% | 4,998 | 48,746 |
As of 2022, investor-owned utilities collectively had converted the largest percentage of their fixtures at 99 percent (from 1990 to present). Municipal utilities' conversion was at almost 97 percent, and rural electric cooperatives reported having converted almost 90 percent. The updates are not a date-certain mandate; therefore, the utilities will continue converting their old fixtures as they become worn out.
