What this bond does

The utility deposit bond provides the payment security described in the requested instrument for the EPB account. EPB’s electric rules allow a reasonable deposit and distinguish residential from nonresidential calculations.

Who needs it
The EPB customer named in a request for bond security, including a business arranging security for its electric service account. Match the electric account holder, service location and requested form.
Who it protects
The named utility’s payment exposure is the relevant interest. The bond is not insurance against a power interruption, equipment damage or your business’s inability to pay its normal electric bills.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Separate business security from residential deposit guidance

EPB’s Schedule of Electric Rules and Regulations says a nonresidential deposit will not exceed twice the highest projected monthly bill for that customer, as determined by EPB. Its residential ceiling is instead tied to the residential class average monthly bill.

A general residential deposit example does not set a business bond amount. Use EPB’s final account notice and identify whether the request covers a new service, a changed load or a revised security requirement.

Prepare the account details EPB uses

EPB may review deposit adequacy, and its rules say it will undertake a review at a customer’s request. Keep expected usage and major changes in electric load available so the account discussion and the bond application refer to the same service.

Obtain EPB's required bond form or wording and the effective date for the security. Confirm what must happen if the account moves, changes customer or closes; a deposit schedule alone does not establish the bond's cancellation or release conditions.

Apply for the EPB obligation shown in your request

Select Purchase Now to open Propeller's application in a new tab. There is one application option without preset amount or term choices. Use the legal customer name, account number, service address, amount and effective date from EPB's request. Keep electric deposit security distinct from fiber accounts or construction obligations.

After the provider issues the bond, deliver it to the EPB recipient identified in your instructions and keep the acknowledgment. Coordinate the service start directly with the utility; applying does not issue a bond, schedule a connection or waive wiring and service requirements.

Questions about this bond

Can I use a residential deposit example for my business bond?

Use EPB’s amount for the actual account. Its rules distinguish residential class-average security from a nonresidential calculation based on the customer’s highest projected monthly bill.

Does EPB use one fixed nonresidential security amount?

Its published electric rules set a ceiling of twice the highest projected monthly bill, as determined by EPB. The final request for your account supplies the amount to enter.

Will the bond pay my monthly electric bills?

You remain responsible for the bills. The bond provides the security described in the issued form, not a prepaid balance or business-income insurance.

Will purchasing this schedule my power connection?

No. Complete the security submission and coordinate connection and other service requirements with EPB. The purchase action begins the bond application.
