Comments on: Gulf Power Warns Of Continuing Scam Against Customers http://www.northescambia.com/2017/02/gulf-power-warns-of-continuing-scam-against-customers-2 Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Tue, 28 Apr 2026 05:46:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Susan http://www.northescambia.com/2017/02/gulf-power-warns-of-continuing-scam-against-customers-2/comment-page-1#comment-338488 Susan Wed, 01 Mar 2017 17:50:36 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=278580#comment-338488 Got to agree with Bob C. All of us need to call/write our state legislator and state senator to let them know that this hike increase in base rate is not in the best interest of their constituents. No one will want to insulate their homes, keep room temperature steady, chalk windows, etc. if they can't save money by reducing kilowatt usage. If this goes through, it will be a matter of time and we will be back to kilowatt price increasing again along with the base rate increase being proposed. Study up on it and contact the state legislature. Got to agree with Bob C.

It's a kin to letting the fox in the hen house. Gulf power proposes to raise your base rate and lower your K rate to minimize the increase. What happens next year when they decide to raise the K rate usuage to satisfy their shareholders. Hhhhmmmmmm. Totally agree with Bob C. on this one. It’s a kin to letting the fox in the hen house.

One example of a popular provider: $89.95 for a year after you pay for the installation, etc. - nowhere in their contract states that your bill will go up a WHOPPING 33% in 11 months. Yes, ;you can switch again if you like playing musical chairs to save money.

Headline made me laugh out loud very early in the morning making my bride of many decades sleepily ask, "What's so funny this time of morning?" With their monopoly in our area and basic stronghold on any electrical consumer in home or business my feeling is that our Greatest Scammer IS Gulf Power. Their increase in the Basic Rate which we ALL must pay no matter how conservative we might try to be they have augered down into our pocketbooks all under the guise of trying to help us consumers. Not fussing about the GP line workers or those who toil at their daily jobs, you folks are GREAT and we depend upon you. Am fussing at the Corporate types. GOD Bless the USA. “Gulf Power warns of continuing SCAM…”
