Cleco

At Cleco, serving our communities goes beyond providing reliable power. Today, our interns had the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by volunteering at the Alexandria Zoo, where they helped plant trees to enhance the environment for visitors and wildlife alike. Experiences like these allow our interns to connect with the community, work together outside the office, and contribute to projects that will have a lasting impact. A special thank you to the Alexandria Zoo for the hospitality and for providing such a rewarding volunteer opportunity. We are proud of our interns for representing Cleco's commitment to service and stewardship. #EnergizeYourCareer #GivingBack #InternshipProgram

With Louisiana’s electric vehicle charging network continuing to grow, and fast chargers across the state, there has never been a better time to make the switch and drive electric.   EVs offer advantages like lower fuel costs, reduced maintenance, decreased emissions and more.   To make charging even easier when you’re not traveling, Cleco offers rebates to both residential and business customers who are looking to level up their ride.
