About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the natural gas supplier bond actually covers

Connecticut lets natural gas sellers compete to supply gas to commercial and industrial customers, delivered over the regulated utility's pipes. Under CGS 16-258a, a seller must register with PURA and meet the conditions of registration before serving customers.

One of those conditions is financial responsibility: a registered seller must maintain a bond or other security, in an amount and form PURA approves, for at least the registration period, to ensure its financial responsibility and its supply of natural gas to end-use customers under its contracts and arrangements.

The bond stands behind the seller’s obligations to its customers and the system — if the seller fails to perform and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, the seller repays the surety. PURA does not mandate a specific bond form, so any acceptable form from a licensed surety works. Enter the amount PURA approved, and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

CGS 16-258a (PURA)Connecticut General Statutes § 16-258a requires a natural gas seller to register with the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) and to maintain a bond or other security, in an amount and form approved by PURA and for at least the registration period, to ensure its financial responsibility and its supply of natural gas to end-use customers. PURA does not require a specific bond form; any acceptable form from a licensed surety is accepted. Confirm your approved amount with PURA.
