What is this bond?

The Arizona Public Service Company (APS) Utility Deposit Bond is a financial guarantee used in place of a traditional cash deposit to activate commercial utility services. It ensures that APS receives full payment for the electricity and related services provided to a business. If the business fails to pay its utility bills, the surety bond covers the outstanding balance.

Who needs it?

This bond is typically needed by commercial and industrial businesses establishing new electrical service with the Arizona Public Service Company. APS may also require it from existing business customers who want to recover a previously paid cash deposit or who need to re-establish credit after a history of late payments.

Why is it required?

The Arizona Public Service Company generally requires this bond to protect against the financial risk of unpaid commercial electric bills. By requiring a surety bond, APS guarantees they will be compensated if a business defaults on its utility payments. This arrangement allows businesses to keep their working capital instead of tying it up in a large cash deposit.
