Who Needs This Bond?
You have applied for electric service through Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative and been informed that a security deposit is required before the account can be activated or restored. This bond is the solution — it satisfies that deposit requirement without you writing a check to the co-op.

What is this Bond For?
Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative uses a deposit requirement to protect itself against customers who may not pay their electric bills. This surety bond replaces that deposit — it guarantees the cooperative will be compensated up to the bond amount if you default on your account obligations. You are the principal on the bond, and Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative is the protected party. The bond is not insurance for you; it is a financial backstop for the cooperative that lets you avoid a lump-sum cash deposit.
When is it Required?
Before service is connected or reconnected, Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative must have the bond in hand — activation will not happen until the deposit requirement is satisfied. If you are opening a new account and a deposit has been flagged, the bond must be secured before your service start date. For customers restoring service after a shut-off, the bond must be in place before power is turned back on. Do not wait until the last minute; purchase the bond now so there is no delay in getting your electric service active.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond specifically satisfies the deposit requirement imposed by Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative, which serves portions of Missouri.
