As a municipal utility, Lakeland Electric ranks giving back to the community as a high priority. We do this in many ways. We offer grants to local charities, scholarships to students, and sponsor and volunteer at many community events. Another way we give back is by supporting local sports organizations. These organizations use our city facilities, boost our local economy, and enhance our customers’ quality of life.

Lakeland Electric is offering customers an up-close and personal look into how we operate and serve our community.

Have you heard about Lakeland Electric’s upcoming Customer Appreciation game? LE values its customers and loves the City of Lakeland. So to show our appreciation, Lakeland Electric wants to give back to the community by hosting a free Customer Appreciation Night on Saturday, Jan. 20.

Between Black Friday deals and Christmas sales, shoppers have many opportunities to score great deals on new appliances. Lakeland Electric would like to sweeten any deals customers were able to take advantage of by reminding them that appliance rebates are still available.

Hurricane season in Florida can be unpredictable, but your plan doesn’t have to be. Many people think that hurricane season is just the months of June, July, and August. In reality, hurricane season spans from June all the way until November. The last few years we have been lucky, and major storms have missed our area. From the past, we know that storms do come through Lakeland. If left unprepared, damage from a large storm can leave you feeling hopeless. It is important you and your family have a plan before a storm arrives.

Linemen have been an integral part of building our communities for the last 100 years. Many linemen families have worked in the industry for generations and take great pride in providing services right here in Lakeland. August 26^th is Florida Lineworker Appreciation Day.
