Lakeland Electric is the third-largest public power utility in Florida. The utility is also one of the first utilities established in the State having started operation in 1889. As a municipal utility, Lakeland Electric measures success by how much money stays within Lakeland through low rates and contributions to the city budget, unlike a private power utility whose money goes to stockholders across the country and around the world. Their commitment to Lakeland goes beyond “keeping the lights on.” They are dedicated to making life easier and more enjoyable for all of their customers. Lakeland Electric – Powered for Life!
