Sanibel Sea School Purchasing Solar Panels

The Sanibel Sea School is taking their commitment to conduct business in an environmentally friendly manner to a new level by installing a 20 kilowatt solar package to their administration building. This project is anticipated to cost $40,000 which will be paid through donations from several family foundations and private donors. The Sanibel Sea School is a non-profit organization and the installation of these solar panels could save them close to $5,000 a year. The solar panels that the Sanibel Sea School is purchasing will generate more electricity than the school will use so the excess energy will be purchased by the School’s electric provider, LCEC, and the energy will be dispersed directly to LCEC customers. The School will still be responsible for electric charges incurred during the evening hours. “We will be generating more electricity during the day than we use during the night, so we will become self-sufficient,” Sanibel Sea School Co-Founder and Executive Director Dr. Bruce Neill said. “We typically pay about $5,000 a year for our electricity, so now, our bill will basically be zero.”

LCEC currently has 205 customers (27 commercial, 178 residential) in its Net Metering Program. To find out more about how this program works, visit https://lcec.net/pdf/PVQuestions.pdf.

LCEC Employees Complete 100 Mile Challenge

LCEC is on a mission to fight America’s number one killer, heart disease. This mission led LCEC to establish the 100 Mile Challenge as part of the American Heart Association’s (AHA) movement to get all Americans walking. 26 teams of LCEC employees competed in the challenge of walking 100 miles in four weeks. In total, these 78 employees logged:

–8,777 miles
–60,689 minutes of activity
–1,791,560 steps

“We were thrilled to have 100 percent of our top leadership support and participate in this challenge,” Human Resources Analyst and 100 Mile Challenge Coordinator Jen McClain said. Incentives for this challenge included a challenge t-shirt for all participants who logged at least 10 miles by the end of week two. All teams whose participants logged at least 100 miles during the four week challenge were entered into a drawing for a fit bit for each team member.

LCEC’s 100 Mile Challenge was done using the AHA’s website for “online activity.” Wellness is a huge part of LCEC’s culture. From weight loss challenges to onsite nutrition counseling and fitness classes, LCEC provides a myriad of opportunities for employees to live healthy lifestyles. Along with being honored for its ongoing wellness initiative, LCEC works in the community to spread the message of wellness. LCEC’s CEO Dennie Hamilton is this year’s AHA Heart Walk Chair for Lee County.
