The quantity of electrical energy used by the overhead sign illum- ination system shall be determined by multiplying the sum of the manufacturer's rated input wattages, as shown on the project plans of that portion of the overhead sign illumination system connected to the roadway illumination system transformer stations, by the number of hours the lamps are energized divided by 1000.
