What it is and who needs it.
What the natural gas supplier bond actually covers
Connecticut lets natural gas sellers compete to supply gas to commercial and industrial customers, delivered over the regulated utility's pipes. Under CGS 16-258a, a seller must register with PURA and meet the conditions of registration before serving customers.
One of those conditions is financial responsibility: a registered seller must maintain a bond or other security, in an amount and form PURA approves, for at least the registration period, to ensure its financial responsibility and its supply of natural gas to end-use customers under its contracts and arrangements.
The bond stands behind the seller’s obligations to its customers and the system — if the seller fails to perform and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond, and if the surety pays, the seller repays the surety. PURA does not mandate a specific bond form, so any acceptable form from a licensed surety works. Enter the amount PURA approved, and we price it at 2% of that amount, $100 minimum. The application collects no credit information, and on the rare bond where a check does run, it is a soft pull that never affects your score.
