What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Connecticut restructured its electric market under C.G.S. 16-245. PURA licenses electric suppliers and registers electric aggregators — the entities that gather customers together to negotiate the purchase of electric generation services. The statute conditions a supplier license on a bond or other security PURA approves; a registered aggregator can be asked for security as a guarantee of financial responsibility.
When a bond is required, it stands behind your obligations to PURA and to the customers you serve. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Connecticut acting through PURA (the obligee). If you fail to meet the obligations the bond backs, the protected party can recover against it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. This bond is written at $25,000; if PURA set a different amount on your docket or notice, send it to us and we will issue at that figure.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
E-sign & file with PURA. Pay online and receive the executed bond, ready to file with your aggregator registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the authority insists.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $125 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
