Overview
Been asked to post a deposit before Nashville Electric Service activates your account? A surety bond through the Electric Power Board of Nashville and Davidson Counties lets you skip the cash deposit requirement and keep your money working for you.

It is a fast, affordable alternative that gets your power turned on without tying up hundreds of dollars in a deposit account.
Who Needs This Bond?
Picture this: you're opening or restoring electric service through Nashville's Electric Power Board and the utility has flagged a deposit requirement on your account. That requirement applies to residential and commercial customers in Nashville and Davidson Counties who do not meet the utility's standard credit threshold. If you've been told you owe a cash deposit to activate or reinstate service, this bond is your alternative. It satisfies the Electric Power Board's requirement without you handing over cash upfront.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the Electric Power Board of Nashville and Davidson Counties against financial loss if a customer fails to pay their electric bills. You, the utility customer, are the principal — the party obligated to keep the account current. The Electric Power Board is the protected party that can make a claim against the bond if unpaid balances go unresolved. Essentially, the bond stands in place of the cash deposit the utility would otherwise hold as security.
When is it Required?
Your bond must be in place before the Electric Power Board will activate or restore your electric service. Waiting until after you've applied for service is too late — the utility needs the bond on file as a condition of turning on power. If you're restoring service after a disconnection, the bond is typically required before reconnection is scheduled. Act immediately so there's no gap in your service.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies specifically to electric service accounts held through the Electric Power Board of Nashville and Davidson Counties, Tennessee. It is a locally administered utility requirement tied to Nashville and Davidson County service territory. Customers outside this service area would need a separate bond aligned with their local utility provider.
