LCEC – Lee County Electric Cooperative

LCEC Delivers More than Power

At LCEC, our values go far beyond a page on our website or a poster in our building. They are our guiding principles and the framework by which LCEC has grown over the past 77 years. Just recently, two LCEC employees demonstrated our core value to energize the community by taking an active role to make SWFL an even better place to work and live.

Installation Services Technician Bill was at a local 7-11 recently when he encountered a mother and her daughter frantically searching for the famously infamous fidget spinners. When Bill heard that 7-11 was sold out, he ran to his work van to grab a brand new fidget spinner which he had bought for one of his four kids. After asking the mom if it was okay to give the daughter the fidget spinner, the mother and daughter were thrilled and gladly accepted the offer. “We have not transitioned well to moving here from Tallahassee. Bill showed my daughter that there are still kind, good people left,” said the thankful mother. Bill thought nothing of this gesture, but this small act of kindness is something this mother and daughter won’t soon forget.

Lineman Kenny needed access to a property so he called owner to let him in the gate. The home owner had left to bring her son to school not realizing that the child had dropped his $20 in lunch money. Kenny saw the $20 by the gate and when he finished his work, left the money in the screen entry to the house. The homeowner got home and quickly called LCEC to say how much she appreciated Kenny’s integrity and work ethics!

These are just two recent examples of LCEC employees energizing the community. We are so incredibly proud of the amazing work that Bill, Kenny and the rest of our 375+ employees do in and outside of work to respect and better this community! From volunteering to doing the right thing, our employees are LCEC’s most valuable resource!
