Dayburning HPS highmast.
I took this pic on my way to my graduation trip back in 2010. There were tons of roadworks, so we got to drive slowly several times. I took these opportunities to get a few pics!

There is a dayburning posttop near me. PC works and is correctly wired, but this greened out MV is under a heavy tree canopy.

Who's paying for all that wasted electricity? 5000 watts per pole, most likely - and probably a number of poles?

I remember there were at least a dozen of them dayburning LOL. These particular highmasts are owned by the provincial transport ministry. As the electric grid is owned by the provincial government, I suppose there is no real money "wasted". But it's definitely a waste of electricity!

Odd, most provincial lighting here in Ontario is metered...there's a meter inside the relay cabinets here.

I guess provincial lighting is metered here as well, I can't really tell LOL.
