Maine Portland General Electric Company Utility Deposit Bond
Overview
Portland General Electric customers in Maine sometimes face a deposit requirement before service can start or be restored. This bond satisfies that requirement without tying up your cash. Instead of handing money over to the utility, you purchase a surety bond that gives Portland General Electric the same financial protection. Your funds stay in your pocket.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told by Portland General Electric that a security deposit is required before your account can open or be reinstated. Residential and commercial customers in Maine face this situation after a credit review flags a risk to the utility. Rather than pay a cash deposit that sits locked away for months or years, you can post this surety bond instead. It satisfies the deposit requirement immediately and keeps your working capital accessible.
What is this Bond For?
Portland General Electric holds this bond as a financial guarantee against unpaid bills or service charges. If you default on your account and the utility suffers a covered loss, the bond provides a source of recovery. You remain responsible for any valid claim — the bond does not erase the debt. Its purpose is to assure Portland General Electric that it won't be left holding an unpaid balance on your account.
When is it Required?
Before Portland General Electric will open or restore your account, the deposit requirement must be satisfied — and this bond must be in hand to do it. Waiting until after you've called to set up service is too late. If you're restoring service after a disconnection, the bond needs to be secured and proof submitted before the utility will schedule reconnection. Act before the deadline the utility has given you.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to Portland General Electric customers located within the utility's service territory in Maine. It is a statewide requirement tied to this utility's deposit policy, not a local municipal ordinance. Customers outside Portland General Electric's service area would need a different bond matched to their utility provider.
