What is this bond?

The Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative (WREC) Utility Guarantee Bond is a financial guarantee used in lieu of a cash deposit for electric service in Florida. It ensures that commercial or construction customers pay their utility bills in full and on time. If the customer fails to pay for their electric service, the bond protects the cooperative from financial loss.

Who needs it?

Commercial businesses, industrial facilities, and construction contractors setting up new electric service with WREC typically need this bond. The cooperative may also require it for existing business customers who are upgrading their service capacity or transitioning from a standard cash deposit.

Why is it required?

WREC requires this bond to mitigate the financial risk of providing electricity before receiving payment. It guarantees that the cooperative has a secure method to recover costs if a commercial entity defaults on its utility bills.

  • ⚠Allowing the bond to cancel or expire while the commercial utility account is still active.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the WREC utility guarantee bond cost?

Premiums vary based on the bond amount required by the utility and the applicant's credit history. To get an exact price, please submit an online application.

Who determines the bond amount I need to purchase?

The Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative determines your specific bond requirement, usually based on your projected or historical monthly energy usage. You must verify this exact figure with WREC before purchasing your bond.

Why use a surety bond instead of a cash deposit?

Many businesses prefer using a utility guarantee bond because it acts as a financial alternative to a cash deposit, preventing large amounts of operating capital from being tied up with the utility provider.

How long do I need to keep this utility bond active?

Generally, the bond must remain active for as long as the utility account is open, or until WREC formally releases the deposit requirement. Always verify specific cancellation and release terms directly with the cooperative.
