About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Entergy Louisiana deposit bond actually covers

Entergy Louisiana, LLC is the state's largest investor-owned electric and gas utility, formed by a 2015 merger of the former Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana entities, and regulated by the Louisiana Public Service Commission. Like most regulated utilities, Entergy can require a security deposit on a new account without an established payment history, or on an account that previously went unpaid.

A surety bond is one accepted alternative to leaving that money in cash with the utility. You (the principal) post the bond, the surety stands behind it, and Entergy Louisiana, LLC is the obligee. The amount is the deposit Entergy sets for your account, generally tied to your estimated monthly usage and payment history at the serviced address.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays Entergy on an unpaid account, you repay the surety. The bond form must list your Entergy account number, and the name on the account and the bond must match exactly. For a customer who would rather not park cash with the utility, a one-time premium starting at $100 is the cheaper way to satisfy the requirement.

Entergy Louisiana, LLC — account deposit termsEntergy Louisiana, LLC, the electric and gas utility serving most of Louisiana outside New Orleans and regulated by the Louisiana Public Service Commission, permits a customer to secure an account with a surety bond in place of a cash deposit, in an amount and on terms acceptable to the company. The bond amount is the deposit Entergy sets for your account, typically based on estimated usage and payment history — confirm the figure on your Entergy Louisiana deposit notice. No specific LPSC docket or tariff section is cited here because the exact figure is set through Entergy's own account terms, not a fixed statutory number.
