It's because FP&L is recouping the money they paid for Gulf Power. That's the real truth. We are still better off with FP&L. They are a professional, established Company. GP still has an ancient transformer near our house but our neighbor next door (GP bigwig) has his very own single service transformer. Hopefully it's being paid for now.

Sounds like they just using that as an excuse, double dipping. I am willing to bet they have already recieved reimbursement from FEMA for all their expenses.

My bill varies, but it's pretty much the same as under Gulf Power, and $150/month average is a fair price.

I am frugal with my power. I learned a long time ago (30+) years ago how to keep my power bill down. My next bill is less than $200 I have a 2400 sq ft home, a pool and 2 out bldg. extreme heat, extreme cold, yes it goes up but we learn to deal with it. Believe me it could and has been way worse. I can remember a $600 bill back in 2004 I do not understand everyone. I am frugal with my power. I learned a long time ago (30+) years ago how to keep my power bill down.

Homeowners have it to cover cost of damages. Hey maybe we could turn tables on them and put the extra expense on homeowners insurance when damage occurs in a storm.

FEMA pays for this. Yes the paper work is cumbersome, but it will come through. FPL should have to prove they are not double dipping with this added fee. PSC was formed to regulate the added fees; not just rubber stamp them. Michele Salzman what is your office doing to protect us from possible double dipping? @Henry Coe – Exactly my thoughts!
