You had the opportunity to make your voices heard...if you did not object, then whose fault is it that the rates went up? It wasn't a secret that they were considering this. Large companies have a lot of pull: the only way the government will listen is enough people speak up! When the PSC was considering this rate hike, how many of you sent an email to object?

It's all a scam. They told us after Ivan that 70 years of work was destroyed in hours...PSC allowed them to add a rider fee onto the bill to pay for those repairs and now 10 years later after Gulp was shot down last year for a rate increase they come limping in talking about they want to update the 70 year old system? Huh? Besides, Gulp BUYS over 50% OF THE POWER THEY SELL US FROM THEIR SISTER COMPANY...Where's the interest they are collecting on the money they took from us for the McDavid Plant? Who gets that? That interest alone shold pay for upkeep of 70 errrrr 10 year old lines....

Everyone should write and call to them to complain. Remember, one day you will have to give an account of yourself. I am so glad I don't have this on my conscience.

HO-HO-HO 70-year-old transmission lines? Please forgive us (GP) for not being responsible enough to replace these lines earlier. But think of this, if lines produced perhaps 75 years ago lasted this long, with all the new and improved technology, these new lines will never need to be replaced.

I'm telling the truth solar will be a cheaper option in 4-5 years, then GP can buy my excess power reserves... That would be awesome, to bill GP.
