  • Public Lighting Depa,Rtment Capital
    (J PUBLIC LIGHTING DEPA,RTMENT CAPITAL 0 u Public Lighting Department AGENCY MISSION The mission of the Public Lighting Department (PLD) is to support the Public Lighting Authority (PLA) as it maintains the upgraded street light system. PLD works with TMC Alliance and DTE Energy (DTE) to assure the safety of the general public and to provide reliable power to customers through the City's distribution system as the City assists with converting customers to DTE's system. On February 5, 2013, the PLA was created pursuant to Public Act 392 of 2012. The PLA is separate municipal authority with the mission to improve, modernize and maintain the street lighting infrastructure in the City of Detroit with brighter, more reliable, more energy efficient lights. It is a completely separate legal entity from the City of Detroit. In 2014, the PLA issued debt obligations of$185 million to fund street lighting improvements. Pursuant to Public Act 392 of 2012, Utility Users' taxes of $12.5 million annually will be utilized to repay this debt issue. Through an inter-local agreement, the City provides additional funds to the PLA to finance the operations and maintenance of the lighting system. On July 1, 2014 the City entered into the Energy Delivery Services Agreement (EDSA) with DTE to transition electric customers to DTE. The agreement stipulates the City will allow PLD customers to become DTE customers and that the City will exit the electric business over a five to seven year period. During this transition period, the City, through its contraccqr will operate and maintain the electric grid with DTE reimbursing the City and its contractor for all expenses related to the delivery of electrical power.
