What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond actually covers
When you open or keep an electric account, Entergy Arkansas, LLC can ask a non-residential customer for a security deposit — new accounts without an established payment history, or accounts that previously defaulted, are the usual case. Entergy's own account terms let you secure the obligation with either a letter of credit from a bank or a surety bond, in amounts and on terms acceptable to the company.
The amount is the deposit Entergy sets for your account, generally tied to your estimated monthly usage and payment history at the serviced address. The bond stands behind your electric charges — if the account goes unpaid and is closed, Entergy can recover its loss against the bond, up to the bond amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays Entergy on an unpaid account, you repay the surety. The bond form must list your Entergy account number, and the name on the account and the bond must match exactly. It stays in force until the surety cancels with written notice, typically 60 days ahead. For a customer who would rather not park cash with the utility, a one-time premium starting at $100 is the cheaper way to satisfy the requirement.
