Maryland Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) Electricity Supplier Bond
Overview
Maryland's electricity market is deregulated, and Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) requires certain customers to post a surety bond as a condition of establishing or maintaining electricity supplier service. This bond protects BGE against unpaid bills and account defaults by guaranteeing that your financial obligations to the company will be met. Posting a surety bond through Bond Titan means your cash stays in your pocket while BGE gets the security it requires.
Who Needs This Bond?
You've been told by BGE that a security deposit is required before your electricity supplier account can be opened or restored — and you want an alternative to tying up cash. Residential and commercial customers throughout BGE's Maryland service territory may face this requirement, especially after a gap in service, a credit review, or a new account application. A surety bond satisfies BGE's deposit requirement without draining your working capital or personal savings.
What is this Bond For?
BGE holds this bond as a financial guarantee that you will pay your electricity bills on time and fulfill your account obligations. If you default on your account, BGE can make a claim against the bond to recover unpaid amounts up to the bond's face value. You, as the principal, remain responsible for any amounts paid out — the bond is not insurance that covers your bills for you.
When is it Required?
BGE requires this bond to be in place before your electricity supplier account is activated or reinstated — no service begins until the deposit requirement is satisfied. If you were notified of a deposit requirement after a credit review or service interruption, the clock is already running. Ordering your bond now through Bond Titan gets you the executed document you need to submit to BGE without delay.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies specifically to Baltimore Gas and Electric Company's service territory in Maryland, which covers Baltimore City and surrounding counties. It is a statewide obligation tied directly to BGE as the obligee, not a local municipal requirement. If you have electricity service through BGE anywhere in its Maryland coverage area, this is the bond that satisfies their security deposit alternative.
