The reason it cost so much is GP subs all this work out causing cost to escalate, because of double business expense to do the project. During Ivan GP wouldn’t drive there truck off road to repair there drop to my home. I had to wait on Pike to come in and do there job. GP had a shiny new 4 wheel drive and Pike had a older single axle drive truck. GP runs all there cost up so they can charge is more because of ther high cost to operate.

If stuff like this is part of the “pre-planned matience”…why do they need a rate increase? AGAIN??!!

So what about the big upgrade they did after Ivan that we were all charged for with additional rider fees hidden in the base customer charge…It was less than 10 years ago Gulp told us that, overnight, Ivan had destroyed 70 years worth of work…Now 9 years later they come back and tell us the entire system is over 70 years old…WHEN is the PSC going to catch on to the games these companies play…

Gulf Power, you got to love them! Was it last year or the year before, when they wanted a price increase to pay for buying up all the land for a “maybe new power plant” around McDavid. This year, they’ve decided that they don’t need that “maybe” plant, but now they need a price increase to update all the substations. Do you think they will continue to update their systems if they get a rate increase or will they just rake in the money? AND, if they don’t get an increase, will they continue this much needed update the system?
