NJ energy consultant bonds.
$300. Five minutes.

Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for everyone. The application is five minutes, and license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An energy consultant (the Board's term is energy agent) advises or arranges energy supply for New Jersey customers without taking title to the electricity or gas itself. The Board of Public Utilities registers these agents under its energy-competition rules and conditions registration on a $10,000 surety bond.
The bond is for the benefit of the customers an agent serves — it stands behind the agent's compliance with the BPU's energy agent rules. If an energy consultant violates those rules and a customer is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your registration; we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so the $10,000 filing stays continuous.
