What it is and who needs it.
What the PURA bond actually covers
Connecticut’s Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) regulates electric, gas, water, and telecommunications providers. For several regulated activities, PURA conditions authorization on a surety bond that backs the provider’s financial responsibility to the state and to the customers it serves.
The most common version is the telecommunications CLEC bond. In Docket 01-12-10RE01, PURA reduced the required CLEC bond from $50,000 to $25,000 (effective 2004), and the FAQs note that PURA generally accepts only a surety bond — not a letter of credit — as security.
Because PURA approves the amount and form on each matter, there is no single statewide figure. Enter the amount on your docket or notice; we issue the bond at 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, and the application collects no credit information. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — it is a guarantee, not insurance for you.
