Its about time we hear this! I am an EREC customer. My husband is losing his job in June, so we have been cutting back on power usage. Hanging laundry, Stopped using the dishwasher, and turned the A/C down a bit. We got our bill, and the base billing showed a significant difference…as you read further you see terms like “GROSS RECEIPTS TAX,” FRANCHISE TAX,” and whatever other fabrication they throw in! Our bill was actually HIGHER than before the cutbacks! Tell me there isn’t something wrong here,folks! I wonder how the good folks at EREC will stuff their pockets when we are all bathing in the creek and lighting candles because we cannot afford the “LUXURY” of Electricity~!

Does EREC plan to follow? The surcharge on my bill is over 1/3 of the total bill every month. It would be nice if someone realized that this is ridiculous.

I am glad they can pay out bonuses @ the expense of the elderly in our community. My mother who rarely cooks, retires early, and lives on a fixed income had an increase from $50.00 to $160.00 from Gulf Power. How can anyone justify this increase. Greed Is Good! So said Michael Douglas. Gulf Power can certainly relate to that statement. God Bless Our Elderly because Gulf Power certainly will not.

I am glad, my ex-wife used to work for them and they would pay out to each employee several thousand at the end of the year bonuses. especially the engineers.
