What this bond does

Who it protects
Aiken Electric Cooperative is the utility recipient. The issued document defines which account obligations are secured and the available amount.

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.

Obtain the account's deposit requirement

For commercial accounts, the cooperative's rules set the standard deposit at the two highest consecutive power bills at the premises. Without billing history, it uses two months of estimated usage.

Use Aiken's calculation for your premises. Have the service location and expected electrical load ready if you are opening a new facility. This page provides one application route, without preset bond amounts or terms.

Confirm the accepted security instrument

The commercial rules say the cooperative may accept a surety bond, irrevocable letter of credit or jointly held certificate of deposit instead of a security deposit.

Acceptance remains with the cooperative. Keep the request and required form so the provider can match the utility's wording rather than issuing generic security.
