    “Does this include your subsieraries as well? i.e. E.R.E.C?”

    EREC is not subsidiary of Gulf Power. EREC is a member owned electric cooperative.

    Will we have to pay back our past dues after this?
    And if so how?

    I want to commend Gulf power for doing this. There will be individuals that could pay the bill and won’t. They will use the system that’s put in place to help individuals that really can’t pay. When this crisis is over they will have to pay and I’am sure Gulp Power will work with everyone that need a payment plan.

    It’s a good thing The new GP communicates with your site because customers can’t get a live person on the phone anymore. Try it.
