What it is and who needs it.
What the deposit bond actually does
Franklin Electric Plant Board is the municipal electric utility operating in the city of Franklin, Kentucky, serving several thousand electric and fiber customers as a local power distributor within the TVA system. Before it connects or continues service to a commercial or industrial account, FEPB — like most utilities — can require security against an unpaid final bill, and will accept a surety bond in place of that cash deposit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and FEPB (the obligee). If your account goes unpaid and FEPB draws on the bond, you repay the surety — the bond is not insurance for you, and it frees the cash a deposit would otherwise hold.
FEPB sets the amount under its own account rules rather than a state formula, generally scaled to your expected monthly bill. Confirm the figure FEPB gave you before applying; we issue whatever amount the utility specifies, from $100.

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 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.
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
File with FEPB. Submit the executed bond in place of the cash deposit FEPB requested for your new or continuing service. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
