Massachusetts Electric Company dba National Grid Utility Deposit Bond
Overview
Told by National Grid that you need a security deposit before your electric service starts? A surety bond is your alternative — and in Massachusetts, this bond is specifically accepted by Massachusetts Electric Company dba National Grid in place of a cash deposit. Instead of handing over hundreds of dollars upfront, you purchase a bond that gives National Grid the financial assurance it requires. Your money stays in your pocket.
Who Needs This Bond?
New residential customers opening an electric account with National Grid in Massachusetts, commercial tenants starting service at a new location, and customers whose previous National Grid account was closed due to nonpayment are the most common applicants. If National Grid has notified you that a deposit is required before your service can begin or be restored, this bond is the direct solution. It satisfies National Grid's deposit requirement without tying up your cash.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees to Massachusetts Electric Company dba National Grid that unpaid electric bills or service charges will be covered if you default on your account. National Grid is the protected party — if you fail to pay what you owe, they can make a claim against the bond. You, as the electric customer, are the principal responsible for maintaining the account in good standing. The bond replaces the cash deposit National Grid would otherwise hold.
When is it Required?
After applying for new service or requesting restoration of a disconnected account, National Grid will review your account history and credit profile. That review is the point in the process where a deposit requirement is triggered. National Grid will notify you that a deposit — or an approved alternative like this surety bond — must be posted before service is activated. Once the bond is issued and delivered, you've met that requirement.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to Massachusetts Electric Company dba National Grid and applies to electric service accounts throughout the company's Massachusetts service territory. It is a statewide bond — not limited to any single city or county. If your National Grid electric account is located anywhere in Massachusetts and the company has asked for a deposit, this bond applies.
