As LCEC celebrates 85 years of powering Southwest Florida, the electric cooperative recently recognized National Lineworker Appreciation Day, a day dedicated to honoring the brave men and women who work tirelessly to keep the lights on.

Through hurricanes, natural disasters and daily operations, these highly skilled professionals consistently put service above self. Their work often takes them into dangerous conditions; restoring power, rebuilding lines, and responding to emergencies with unwavering dedication.

LCEC extends gratitude to the lineworkers across the country who have traveled great distances to help during times of crisis, especially following major storm events here in Southwest Florida.
