Outdoor Lighting

New Install

Enhance the safety of your home or business with leased outdoor lighting. DES offers 3 dusk-to-dawn LED fixtures installed on existing or added DES service poles.

Cost

  • Light and pole rental charges are added to your monthly electric bill
  • The monthly rates change by a few cents as TVA adjusts our electric rates each month
  • Some new installations may be subject to construction fees to be paid before installation

Please contact DES for current rates.

Process

Residential property owner or business owner must:

  • Sign a 2-year Application-Contract
  • Pay a $25 non-refundable application fee

When the contract term expires, outdoor lights continue billing on a month-to-month basis until the customer requests light be turned off or removed.

After receiving the completed Application-Contract and $25 application fee:

  1. DES will schedule a meeting at the property with you or your agent to determine the most effective location(s) and light model(s) to be installed
  2. Outdoor light installations are typically completed within 1 to 4 weeks

For more information on outdoor lighting  please email our Residential Energy Advisor or call by phone at (615) 441-6316.

Complete the Outdoor Lighting Application-Contract.

All outdoor light products, terms, and rates are subject to change at any time, without notice.

  • Describe if the light is broken, does not come on at all, only works occasionally, or stays on all day
