What is this bond?

A Portland General Electric Company Utility Deposit bond is a financial guarantee required in place of a cash deposit to establish commercial utility services. It guarantees that the bonded business or contractor will pay all utility bills in full and on time. If the business fails to pay for services used, the utility company can file a claim against the bond to recover the unpaid balance.

Who needs it?

Contractors, construction firms, and commercial businesses establishing new or expanded utility services with Portland General Electric Company in Maine typically need this bond. It is often utilized by commercial accounts that prefer to keep their capital liquid rather than tying it up in a large cash deposit.

Why is it required?

Utility companies generally require this bond to protect themselves against financial losses from unpaid commercial utility accounts. Because commercial and construction electricity usage can be substantial, the bond ensures the provider is compensated if the business defaults on its bills. Specific criteria vary, so you should verify exact requirements with the utility company.
