Who Needs This Bond?
If you have been told by FirstEnergy Corp. in Ohio that you must post a security deposit before your electric service can be opened or restored, this bond is your solution. Residential and commercial customers alike may face this requirement, typically after a credit review flags an account as higher risk. Rather than handing over hundreds of dollars in cash to hold on deposit, you can purchase this surety bond instead. It satisfies FirstEnergy's requirement and lets you keep your cash available for other needs.
What is this Bond For?
FirstEnergy requires a financial guarantee that unpaid utility bills will be covered before service is extended to customers who do not meet standard credit criteria. This bond provides that guarantee directly to FirstEnergy Corp. as the protected party. If your account goes unpaid and FirstEnergy suffers a loss, it can make a claim against the bond. As the customer posting the bond, you are the principal responsible for keeping the account current.
When is it Required?
FirstEnergy may impose a deposit requirement at any point an account is opened or restored, and that same requirement can come up again if service is interrupted due to non-payment. New Ohio residents applying for service with no in-state credit history may also face this requirement. If your service has been shut off and you are working to get it turned back on, this bond may be part of what FirstEnergy needs before reconnection. Having the bond ready speeds up that process significantly.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies specifically to accounts held with FirstEnergy Corp. in Ohio. It is a statewide bond, meaning it is not limited to a single city or county — it covers FirstEnergy service territory throughout the state. Customers anywhere within FirstEnergy's Ohio service area who face a deposit requirement can use this bond to satisfy it.
