8.9.12 In Alabama and Louisiana, Southern Light has the option to purchase power directly from an
electric utility company. Under such option, Southern Light is responsible for contracting with the
electric utility company for its own power feed and meter and is financially responsible for
purchasing all equipment necessary to accomplish the arrangement, including inverters, batteries,
power boards, bus bars, BDFBs, backup power supplies and cabling. The actual work to install
this arrangement must be performed by an AT&T Certified Supplier hired by Southern Light.
Southern Light’s AT&T Certified Supplier must comply with all applicable safety codes, including
the NEC and National Electric Safety Code (NESC) standards, in the installation of this power
arrangement. If Southern Light currently has power supplied by AT&T, Southern Light may request
to change its Collocation Space to obtain power from an electric utility company by submitting a
Subsequent Application. AT&T will waive the application fee for this Subsequent Application if no
other changes are requested therein. Any floor space, cable racking, etc., utilized by Southern
Light in provisioning said power will be billed by AT&T on an ICB basis.
8.9.13 In South Carolina, Southern Light has the option to purchase power directly from an electric utility
company where technically feasible and where space is available in a requested AT&T Premises.
Under such option, Southern Light is responsible for contracting with the electric utility company for
its own power feed and meter, and is financially responsible for purchasing all equipment
necessary to accomplish the conversion of the commercial AC power to DC power, including
inverters, batteries, power boards, bus bars, BDFBs, backup power supplies and power cabling.
The actual work to install this arrangement must be performed by an AT&T Certified Supplier hired
by Southern Light. Southern Light’s AT&T Certified Supplier must comply with all applicable
national, regional, state and local safety, electrical, fire and building codes, including the NESC
standards, in the installing of this power arrangement, just as AT&T is required to comply with
these codes. Southern Light must submit an application to AT&T for the appropriate amount of
Collocation Space that Southern Light requires in order to install this type of power arrangement.
AT&T will evaluate the request and determine if the appropriate amount of space is available within
the AT&T Premises for the installation of Southern Light’s power equipment and facilities. This
type of power arrangement must be located in an appropriate area in the AT&T Premises that has
been properly conditioned for the installation of power equipment and conforms to the applicable
national, regional, state and local safety, electrical, fire and building codes. AT&T shall waive the
application fee or any other nonrecurring charge that would otherwise be due from a CLEC that
decides to reconfigure an existing collocation power arrangement so as to purchase power directly
from an electric utility company as provided herein. Southern Light shall be responsible for the
recurring charges associated with the additional space needed in the AT&T Premises for this type
of power arrangement, including space required to place associated power-related equipment and
facilities (i.e., batteries, generator, fuse panel, power meter, etc.). If there is no space available for
this type of power arrangement in the requested AT&T Premises, AT&T may seek a waiver of
these requirements from the Commission for the AT&T Premises requested. Southern Light would
have the option to order its power needs directly from AT&T.
