20 cents a month is nothing. They could have just asked for a regular rate hike & got that. Its coming like it or not. They are just putting it out there to get us used to the disscussion about it. Once we all are used to hearing it, No big deal. No protesting it. We dont get in an uproar on approved rate hikes do we. They could have always been for future construction . Or whatever they want. They are the Monopoly. Someone else know another power company we can use?

Thank you regulators. I am sure we need our money more than GulfPower does.

It is great to know that there are still institutions such as the PSC that cannot be bought and influenced by big money.

Gulf Power does not NEED more money. They can dip into the tens of millions of dollars they made in profit last year. Financial statements are public record.

Anonymous read all of the stories…they have not even gone through the plan/study phase for the power plant. It takes decades to get the government permits if ever. They have not taken the first step in getting this plant. Why have us pay for a pig in a poke? Let us see what it is we are buying and then we can talk.

How about a wind/solar plant for the area? I think a lot of people and maybe the government would be in favor of that, and it would bring jobs to the area. GE manufactures wind turbines in Pensacola. Let’s do “made in America, Gulf Power!

A vocal minority doesn’t mean the majority rejects a power plant for our area. High 5 figure or better jobs would be a great opportunity for folks.

First quarter 2012 revenues were $3.60 billion, per their 2012 first quarter report, and they need a rate increase?????????? for something the residents of the area do not want. The PSC did something right for a change.
