Northwest Florida residents should start to see slightly lower electric bills beginning next year.
For the first time in more than 10 years, Gulf Power is lowering its rates for electricity. Typical residential customers should see a 2.8 percent decrease in their electricity bills in January compared to January 2010, said Jeff Rogers, a spokesman for Gulf Power.
“Really, through some careful planning in management this year we’re able to tweak our fuel mix and the result was being able to pass along some savings to our customers,” Rogers said.
Gulf Power’s base rate has not changed since 2002, but the rising cost of fuel the utility uses to produce electricity has driven up utility bills.
