Employers were also prohibited from charging workers for the cost of lighting

Employers were also prohibited from charging workers for the cost of lighting of the shops and plants.

I'd like to know why "the cost of lighting" is used, not "the lighting of (the) cost."
Thank you in advance for your help.
