The Florida Public Service Commission will consider an interim rate increase for Gulf Power when it meets on Tuesday.
Gulf Power serves over 428 thousand customers in 71 communities from the Alabama border to the Apalachicola River.
The company is seeking its first base rate increase in 10 years - If approved customers using 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity would see their bills go up by $12.15 per month.
The company says it needs the increase to cover the day-to-day cost of doing business.
The company has built more than 850 miles of new power lines and installed nine new substations, and is serving 50,000 more customers since the last base rate increase.
The company is also seeking an interim rate increase while the public service commission considers the full increase.
The commission will consider a staff recommendation to approve the interim rates on Tuesday.
That hearing is open to the public, it begins at 9:30 in Tallahasee.
