Maryland Subscriber Organization (Solar - CSEGS Pilot Program) Bond
Overview
Maryland's Community Solar Energy Generating System (CSEGS) Pilot Program gives residents and businesses the ability to subscribe to solar energy without installing panels on their own property — but subscriber organizations that manage these solar subscriptions must post a surety bond to participate. This bond protects Maryland utility customers and the public by ensuring subscriber organizations fulfill their financial and contractual obligations under the program. Without it, a subscriber organization cannot legally operate in Maryland's CSEGS Pilot Program.
Who Needs This Bond?
Subscriber organizations — companies that enroll customers into community solar projects under Maryland's CSEGS Pilot Program — are required to carry this bond. If your business aggregates, manages, or sells solar energy subscriptions to Maryland utility customers, this is your bond. It is a statewide requirement that applies regardless of which Maryland utility territory your subscribers are located in. Any organization seeking approval to operate within the CSEGS Pilot Program must have this bond in place before enrolling subscribers.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that a subscriber organization will meet its financial obligations to Maryland utility customers who have enrolled in community solar subscriptions. It protects subscribers from financial harm if the organization fails to deliver the promised bill credits or otherwise defaults on its program commitments. Maryland regulators require the bond to ensure that the solar subscription market operates with accountability and that customers are not left without recourse.
When is it Required?
Approval to operate as a subscriber organization under Maryland's CSEGS Pilot Program is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. Before your organization can enroll a single subscriber or execute any subscription agreement, the bond must be executed and on file with the appropriate Maryland authority. Attempting to operate without it puts your program participation — and your subscribers' solar credits — at risk.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies statewide across Maryland and covers subscriber organization activity in any Maryland utility service territory included in the CSEGS Pilot Program. It is not a local municipal requirement — it flows from Maryland's statewide community solar regulatory framework. Any subscriber organization doing business with Maryland utility customers under this program is subject to the bonding requirement.
