Who Needs This Bond?
If you've been told by Aiken Electric Cooperative, Inc. that you must post a security deposit before your electric account can be opened or reinstated, this bond is your alternative. Residential and commercial customers alike may face this requirement — typically after a credit review flags a risk the cooperative isn't willing to absorb without protection. Instead of paying a cash deposit that sits idle, you purchase this surety bond and provide it to the cooperative as your security. It satisfies their requirement and gets your power on.
What is this Bond For?
This bond functions as a financial guarantee to Aiken Electric Cooperative, Inc. that you will pay your electric bills as agreed. If you default on your account and leave an unpaid balance, the cooperative can make a claim against the bond to recover those losses. The bond does not eliminate your obligation to pay — it simply assures the cooperative that there is a backstop if you don't. You remain responsible for your account in full.
When is it Required?
Recurring credit issues or a prior unpaid balance with Aiken Electric can trigger this requirement more than once throughout your account history — not just when you're a new customer. This bond is typically required when you apply for new electric service, transfer service to a new address served by Aiken Electric, or when your account has been disconnected and you need reconnection. The cooperative uses it as a condition of doing business when standard credit approval isn't available. Meeting this requirement promptly is the fastest path to restoring or starting service.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to Aiken Electric Cooperative, Inc., which serves members in Aiken County and surrounding areas of South Carolina. It is not a state license bond and is not accepted by any other utility provider. If you receive service from Aiken Electric and have been given a deposit requirement notice, this is the bond you need.
