What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond actually covers
AES Indiana — the trade name of Indianapolis Power & Light Company, an electric utility regulated by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) — can require a customer to post a security deposit before starting or continuing electric service, most often for a new business account, an account with high projected usage, or one with a history of late payment. Under 170 IAC 4-1-15, a required deposit is capped at no more than one-sixth of the customer's expected annual billings, and the utility must give written notice of the facts behind the requirement.
Rather than leave that cash sitting with the utility, AES Indiana allows a customer to post a surety bond for the same amount in lieu of a cash deposit. The bond is a payment guarantee: it stands behind the charges on your electric account, and if the account goes unpaid, AES Indiana can recover against the bond instead of drawing down a cash deposit.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays AES Indiana, you repay the surety. The advantage is cash flow: you pay a small premium, 2% of the bond amount with a $100 minimum, rather than locking up the full deposit figure for the life of the account. Enter the amount AES Indiana set and your exact price appears at the application.
