What You're Seeing In Your Neighborhood

Those new concrete poles?
That's your bill going up.

LCEC is actively installing 60+ new large concrete transmission poles throughout Cape Coral and Southwest Florida. They're upgrading structures to be bigger, taller, and stronger — along with new conductors for better storm resiliency.

These are real, visible upgrades happening right now — and the cost of that infrastructure gets passed directly to you as a ratepayer.

→

Substation upgrades to handle growing demand across Lee County.

→

Distribution line hardening — feeder upgrades, reliability enhancements, underground improvements.

→

Smart grid expansion and new service centers being built across the region.

The Bigger Picture

LCEC buys its power from FPL.
When FPL raises rates — you pay.

Most people don't realize that LCEC doesn't generate its own electricity. They purchase it from Florida Power & Light and pass the cost directly to you through your monthly bill.

FPL just received approval for the biggest utility rate hike in US history — $9 billion phased in over 4 years through 2029. That cost doesn't disappear. It flows into your LCEC bill every single month.

→

2026: Bills begin rising. FPL's base rate increase kicks in January 2026.

→

2027–2029: Additional increases each year. Bills projected to climb from ~$134 to ~$148/month for a typical home — and that's before summer AC usage.

→

There's no opt-out from the rate increase — but there are ways to offset it.
