About LCEC

LCEC Philosophy

In a day when it seems that a dollar buys less and less, the men and women working at LCEC are doing what they can to make sure you get the most out of every dollar you spend with them. Consumer education is one of LCEC’s primary missions. Wasting energy not only costs you money – it forces us to buy more power from our power supplier, adding to the cost of operating the system and adding to your electric bill.

Whether it’s a tip from our energy advisors on installing energy-efficient lighting in your home, insulating your water heater, or just changing the filters in your air conditioner, LCEC wants to help you get the best deal you can on the electricity you buy.

That’s what makes energy conservation a partnership between you and LCEC. While you work at home to keep your power bill as low as possible, our engineers work to put the latest technology in place to better manage the system of power plants, wires and substations that bring the power to you. This new technology adds to the savings that can be passed on to you.

Another important part of LCEC’s commitment to you is safety education. Electricity is such a normal part of our life that it is easy to forget it can be dangerous if improperly used. Remember to play it safe by installing child safety plugs in unused outlets, being careful when using electric tools near water, or having underground cables marked prior to digging around your home.

LCEC was created to serve the people it provides power to – not to provide profits to out-of-town power companies. The principle on which we were founded – service to our local community – is just as strong today as the day we opened our doors in 1940.

Regardless of how much electricity you use, we will try to do everything we can to help you get the most of your power dollar.

LCEC is one of the largest cooperatives in the nation, serving more than 193,000 customers in parts of five counties.
