What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond actually does
Paducah Power System is the municipal electric utility that serves Paducah, Kentucky. Like most utilities, it can require a security deposit before establishing service for a new or higher-risk account, to protect against unpaid bills — and, as a municipally owned utility, it sets its own deposit terms rather than following a state Public Service Commission tariff.
A utility deposit bond is a surety alternative to that cash deposit. Instead of leaving the full deposit sitting with Paducah Power, you post a bond for the same amount — Paducah Power is the obligee, and the bond guarantees payment of your electric charges up to the bond amount.
If you leave bills unpaid and Paducah Power is harmed, it can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. We issue the amount Paducah Power set, priced at 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, freeing up the cash you would otherwise have on deposit.

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.
