Connecticut Public Utility Commission Energy Aggregator Bond
Overview
Connecticut's Public Utility Commission requires energy aggregators operating in the state to carry a surety bond before they can legally serve customers. This bond protects Connecticut ratepayers and the energy market by guaranteeing that licensed aggregators meet their financial obligations. If an aggregator fails to perform — or causes harm to customers or the grid — the bond provides a financial remedy. It is the state's way of holding energy aggregators accountable from day one.
Who Needs This Bond?
Energy aggregators licensed or seeking licensure through the Connecticut Public Utility Regulatory Authority need this bond. An aggregator is a company or individual that pools the buying power of multiple customers — residential, commercial, or industrial — to negotiate electricity or natural gas supply contracts on their behalf. Operating in Connecticut without this bond in place violates state licensing requirements. If you have been told by the state that you need an energy aggregator bond, this is the one.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to protect Connecticut utility customers and the broader energy market from financial harm caused by a licensed aggregator's failure to perform. It guarantees that the aggregator will comply with Connecticut's energy regulations, honor its contracts, and fulfill its obligations to customers and utilities alike. Claims can be filed against the bond when an aggregator causes financial loss through misconduct, nonperformance, or regulatory violations. The bond does not protect the aggregator — it protects everyone else.
When is it Required?
Licensure is the trigger. Before the Connecticut Public Utility Regulatory Authority will approve an energy aggregator's license application — or renew an existing one — the bond must already be in place. You cannot begin aggregating energy supply for Connecticut customers without it. The requirement applies whether you are entering the market for the first time or maintaining an existing aggregator registration.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Connecticut requirement, applicable to all energy aggregators conducting business within the state. It is issued under the authority of the Connecticut Public Utility Regulatory Authority and must comply with its licensing standards. There is no county or municipal equivalent — this bond covers your entire Connecticut operation.
