There’s always the opportunity to go back to kerosene or Aladdin Lamps or “lighter knots”to see by. I’m no advocate for increased rates, but do a little assessment as to what you and your family uses each day to power those appliances, tvs,’fridges/icebox, heat, and all that stuff we enjoy.

You always have the option of terminating the service. There are programs to assist should one be able to define and prove the need for assistance. In other words, get back to nature!

I don’t like the increases, but I enjoy, in this older period of my life,…not to have to deal with the “good old days” of which as a child and a young adult, I tired of.

Think about it!

At a time when natural gas prices were falling like a rock GP had the insight to charge us 500 million for a coal scrubber for a plant they use to not really produce much power SINCE GP BUYS half the power the RESELL US from Alabama Power…

Didnt we just pay to re do the whole network 10 years ago when Ivan hit?

Ref… SHO-NUFF on Considering what Gulf Power charges, one of the most expensive electric utilities in the State, I certainly hope they are adapting the latest technologies available!

I am on EREC, my power used to cut off and on 2 or 3 times a day. Not for long periods, just enough to screw up the wifi, clocks, anything digital. Very annoying. Lately it has been much better. It seldom goes off. GREAT

When bad weather comes in we will see whether or the 20% increase in 2 years in our Gulf power bills is worth it.
