What is this bond?

A South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) Utility Deposit Bond is a financial guarantee used in place of a cash deposit for commercial utility services. It guarantees that a business will pay its monthly utility bills on time and in full. If the business defaults on its utility payments, the bond compensates the utility provider for the unpaid balances.

Who needs it?

Commercial businesses, contractors, and industrial facilities in South Carolina that require utility services from SCE&G (now part of Dominion Energy) typically need this bond. It is an excellent option for companies looking to preserve working capital rather than tying up funds in a large upfront cash deposit.

Why is it required?

Utility providers generally require this bond to mitigate the financial risk of providing ongoing power and gas services before payment is collected. It serves as a critical layer of protection, ensuring the utility company receives compensation even if a commercial customer fails to pay their bills.
