Kenergy Corp deposit bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.

Instead of tying up cash as a security deposit, a member of Kenergy Corp can post a utility deposit bond in place of it. Kenergy is a member-owned electric distribution cooperative serving western Kentucky, and — like other Kentucky Public Service Commission–jurisdictional utilities — it may require a deposit under the PSC’s general rules at 807 KAR 5:006, Section 8, which also lets a customer post a bond as the "other guaranty" in place of cash. The bond is priced at 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum — your exact price appears at the application.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the utility deposit bond actually does

Kenergy Corp is a member-owned electric distribution cooperative that provides service to residents and businesses across western Kentucky. As a Kentucky Public Service Commission–jurisdictional utility, it is subject to the PSC’s general service rules, and under 807 KAR 5:006, Section 8, "a utility may require from a customer a minimum cash deposit or other guaranty to secure payment of bills" — most often for a new account without an established payment history, or one re-establishing service.

A utility deposit bond is the surety alternative the regulation contemplates as "other guaranty." Instead of leaving cash sitting with Kenergy, sometimes for years, you post a bond for the same amount. Kenergy is the obligee, and the bond guarantees payment of your utility charges up to the bond amount.

Where billing history exists, 807 KAR 5:006 calculates the deposit from your average bill over the most recent 12 months, capped at two-twelfths (2/12) of your actual or estimated annual bill for monthly billing. If bills go unpaid and Kenergy is harmed, it can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount Kenergy set, priced at 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, freeing up the cash you would otherwise have on deposit.

807 KAR 5:006, Section 8Under 807 KAR 5:006, Section 8, a utility regulated by the Kentucky Public Service Commission — including an electric distribution cooperative such as Kenergy Corp — may require from a customer a minimum cash deposit or other guaranty to secure payment of bills, except from customers qualifying for service reconnection under Section 16. Where actual usage data is available at the same or a similar premises, the deposit is calculated using the customer’s average bill for the most recent 12-month period; deposit amounts may not exceed two-twelfths (2/12) of the customer’s actual or estimated annual bill for monthly billing, three-twelfths for bimonthly, or four-twelfths for quarterly. Interest accrues on deposits at the rate prescribed by KRS 278.460 and is refunded or credited annually; on termination of service, the deposit and accrued interest are credited to the final bill, with any remainder refunded. Confirm the specific deposit amount and any membership terms with Kenergy Corp directly.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Kenergy Corp utility deposit bond?The bond is priced at 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The amount itself equals the security deposit Kenergy Corp requires for your account. Enter that figure and your exact price appears at the application.
What amount should I enter?Use the deposit amount Kenergy Corp set for your account. Under 807 KAR 5:006, that is usually your average monthly bill over the most recent 12 months (or an estimate for a new premises), capped at 2/12 of your estimated annual bill. If you are not sure, ask Kenergy or send us the notice and we will confirm.
Why use a bond instead of a cash deposit?A cash deposit ties up your money with Kenergy, sometimes for years, though 807 KAR 5:006 does require interest at the rate set by KRS 278.460. A utility deposit bond is a one-time premium from $100 and keeps your cash free, while giving Kenergy the same security.
Is there a credit check?The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft credit pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score. No hard inquiry ever runs on this bond.
What does the bond guarantee?Payment of your electric utility charges to Kenergy Corp up to the bond amount. If you leave bills unpaid, Kenergy can claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
