LCEC Introduces Online Energy Tool Enhancement

North Fort Myers, Fla., March 2, 2010

LCEC has added an enhancement to the existing Online Energy Tool. Now, in addition to allowing customers to view their usage on a daily basis to understand how their daily habits affect their bills, LCEC has added a temperature range (high/low) overlay. This enhancement will help customers understand daily energy usage as it relates to the weather. The temperature is being provided by the weather station at Page Field in Fort Myers so actual temperatures may vary. LCEC customers can view their daily energy usage by visiting www.lcec.net and then logging into Web Self Service.
