What it is and who needs it.
What the electric supplier bond actually covers
Connecticut lets electric suppliers compete to sell generation service to customers, delivered over the regulated utility's wires. Under CGS 16-245, PURA licenses electric suppliers and will not issue a license unless the applicant demonstrates technical, managerial, and financial capability.
Part of that financial showing is a bond: the supplier must provide and maintain a bond or other security, in an amount and form PURA approves, to ensure its financial responsibility and its supply of electricity to end-use customers under its contracts and arrangements.
The bond stands behind the supplier’s obligations to its customers and the grid — if the supplier fails to perform and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, the supplier repays the surety. PURA sets the amount; some suppliers see figures in the six-figure range. Enter the amount PURA approved, and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
