A local energy provider has taken the entire eighth floor of the first completed building in Maroochydore’s new CBD.

“We aim to be an employer of choice on the Sunshine Coast and ensuring our team enjoy coming to work is important.

Since being founded in 2014, the company has grown to now employ more than 70 people, and choosing the Maroochydore CBD home was no accident.

“Although we sell electricity, we see ourselves as innovative and agile and we are prepared to do things differently in order to attract and maintain our 40,000-plus customers, and the potential offered by this site was enormous.”

LPE, Queensland’s electricity provider, was founded on the Sunshine Coast with the vision to empower people to save money and to create sustainable communities of the future.

The LPE team does that by creating practical solutions and sharing knowledge to enable informed decisions and affect change.
