About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Connecticut restructured its electric market under C.G.S. 16-245. PURA licenses electric suppliers and registers electric aggregators — the entities that gather customers together to negotiate the purchase of electric generation services. The statute conditions a supplier license on a bond or other security PURA approves; a registered aggregator can be asked for security as a guarantee of financial responsibility.

When a bond is required, it stands behind your obligations to PURA and to the customers you serve. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Connecticut acting through PURA (the obligee). If you fail to meet the obligations the bond backs, the protected party can recover against it.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. This bond is written at $25,000; if PURA set a different amount on your docket or notice, send it to us and we will issue at that figure.

C.G.S. 16-245 (PURA)Connecticut General Statutes 16-245 governs the licensing of electric suppliers and the registration of electric aggregators by the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority. The authority conditions a supplier license on a bond or other security in an amount and form it approves, to ensure financial responsibility and continued supply of electricity. Aggregators register with PURA and may be required to demonstrate financial responsibility. Confirm the exact amount and form PURA requires on your application or docket.
