After the recovery of storm costs (for Hurr Michael), this storm surcharge will end. Some commenters are confusing surcharges with “base rate” increases which occurred in 2003, 2012, 2014, 2017. Next, customers don’t own any of the assets of Gulf Power. Gulf Power owns the assets of Gulf Power - period. After Ivan, there was a storm surcharge that ended.

How much are we currently paying ( all charges ) per kwh ? How many kwh’s do each of us use per month? Unfortunately , many pay little attention to reducing usage and not being wasteful of electricity. Leaving lights and fans on when not ITR ( in the room). Turn down the thermostat on the water heater. Use led lighting if can. Adjust the a/c temperature up a bit. We can at least educate ourselves and be mindful and grateful for wonderous electricity to our home and lives. Without Electricity I’d be looking @ maybe Montana instead of mid-Escambia county and there’d probably be 19 million other Floridians doing likewise !
