Commercial electricity in Cape Coral, Florida

Electric utilities serving Cape Coral

These are the utilities EIA records in Lee County. EIA lists a utility in a county when it has customers anywhere in it, so this is everyone with a presence, ordered by commercial customers across Florida, not a statement about any one address. Prices are EIA’s averages over all of each utility’s commercial customers: revenue divided by kWh.

What businesses in Cape Coral pay

Across Florida, businesses paid an average 11.74¢ per kWh over the 12 months to August 2026, 15.4% below the U.S. average of 13.87¢, and up 4.1% on the 12 months before. That ranks Florida 30 of 51, where 1 is the highest price. In 2025 the average commercial account in the state used 6,334 kWh a month, about $730 a month at the state price; that is a mean pulled up by a few very large users, so most small businesses use less.

A city has no price of its own: two businesses on the same street can pay very different amounts per kWh, because the rate schedule, the size of the peak and, where it is allowed, the supply contract matter more than the location. The Florida page has the state’s price history since 2010 and every utility with at least 500 commercial customers.

Choosing a supplier in Cape Coral

Florida commercial accounts buy supply from their regulated utility. With no supply market to shop, the controllable costs are demand charges, rate schedule fit, load profile and resilience planning.

Where prices are heading

Common questions

Who provides electricity to businesses in Cape Coral?

EIA lists LCEC as electric utilities in Lee County. Which one serves a given address depends on the street; the utility on an existing bill is the definitive answer, and a utility can confirm service for a new site.

What is the average commercial electricity rate in Cape Coral?

There is no official figure for a city. EIA publishes prices by state and by utility: LCEC averaged 12.18¢ per kWh for its commercial customers in 2025, and Florida averaged 11.74¢ over the 12 months to August 2026. A business’s own price depends on its rate schedule, its demand and, where it can choose, its supply contract.

Can a business in Cape Coral choose its electricity supplier?

Florida commercial accounts buy supply from their regulated utility. With no supply market to shop, the controllable costs are demand charges, rate schedule fit, load profile and resilience planning. The state page for Florida explains how it works and who regulates it.
