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.
