- Who it protects
- UCEA is the utility recipient of the payment security. The issued bond defines the covered obligations and claim conditions. You remain responsible for paying the electric bills.

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.

Questions about this bond
Which business name belongs on the bond?
Use the business entity responsible for the UCEA account. Match its legal name and service address to the commercial sign-up paperwork so the utility can connect the bond to the right customer.
What happens if my consumption exceeds the bond amount?
UCEA reserves the right to adjust deposit requirements if your actual consumption exceeds the estimate, which may require you to increase your bond coverage.
Is the surety bond the only way to satisfy the deposit requirement?
No. UCEA also accepts cash or a certificate of deposit titled jointly with the authority as valid forms of security.
Can I start service before the bond is filed?
You must coordinate with UCEA regarding their specific commercial sign-up procedures to ensure all security requirements, including the bond or deposit, are met before service activation.
