LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Electricity surcharge

Gulf Power is raising the cost of power to its customers by $8 per 1,000 Kilowatts to offset Hurricane Michael recovery costs.

Shouldn’t customers be allowed to bill Gulf Power to cover the costs associated with power backup and protection equipment? Examples would include generators and fuel to run them, surge protectors, etc.
