Westar Energy utility deposit bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
Instead of tying up cash as a security deposit with Westar Energy (Kansas Gas and Electric Company, the Evergy-family utility serving much of the state under Kansas Corporation Commission-approved tariffs), a residential or commercial customer can post a surety bond for the same figure. Westar sets the deposit amount — commonly twice your estimated monthly bill — and the premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum; enter your figure below for your exact price.

What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond actually covers
When you apply for, reinstate, or hold a Westar Energy (Kansas Gas and Electric Company) electric account, the utility can require a security deposit under its Kansas Corporation Commission-approved tariff — standard practice sizes a residential (or small commercial) deposit at roughly twice your estimated monthly bill, and a higher-usage commercial account — averaging more than 3,240 kWh a month — at the sum of its two largest projected monthly bills instead. Rather than leave that cash sitting with the utility, Westar accepts a completed bond form and power of attorney in place of the cash.
The bond is a payment guarantee in lieu of the cash deposit: it stands behind the electric charges on your service address. If the account goes unpaid and the deposit would have covered it, Westar can draw on the bond instead of holding down a cash deposit.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays Westar, you repay the surety. The advantage is cash flow: you pay a small premium — from $100 — rather than locking up the full deposit amount for the life of the account. Enter the figure Westar set on your account notice and your exact price appears at the application.
