At the peak Lakeland Electric had approximately 85,000 customers without power. As of this morning that number is down to 12,000, bringing 90% of Lakeland Electric’s customers back online since Hurricane Milton passed over Polk County. As restoration efforts progress, the outages are becoming increasingly challenging and time-consuming. Lakeland Electric is transitioning from repairing outages that restore power to thousands at a time to hundreds at a time.
