You have our commitment that we will continue to work around the clock until every customer is restored.””

If power is restored in your neighborhood and you still do not have power, first check your breakers. If this is not the issue, you are asked to report your outage on the Gulf Power App or call 1-800-GUPOWER (1-800-487-6937).
