Company Information
LCEC provides reliable, cost-competitive electricity to customers throughout Southwest Florida. LCEC’s values are deep-rooted in the community and focus on safety, quality customer service, integrity, diversity, respect, teamwork, accountability and stewardship.
The LCEC headquarters in North Fort Myers, Florida, is in the same location where the cooperative originated in 1940. Approximately 400 skilled employees are positioned throughout the five-county service territory, working varied schedules to ensure customers’ energy needs are met around the clock.
LCEC is one of more than 750 not-for-profit electric distribution cooperatives located throughout 46 states and serving 75 percent of land mass in the nation. Cooperatives are in business to serve members at the cost of service. This business model is different from investor-owned utilities, which typically share profits with investors globally. Cooperatives also vary from municipal, or government operated, utilities which may utilize revenues to fund other projects and programs.
LCEC has been recognized locally and statewide as an industry leader and continually receives acknowledgment for the work that employees do in the community along with various other civic, environmental and professional honors. In addition, the organization has been designated by AARP as a Best Place to Work for Employees over 50 and a certified Center of Excellence Customer Service Center
