For businesses

A new applicant for non-residential service may be required to make a cash deposit as a condition of obtaining service unless applicant’s creditworthiness is established in accordance with AES Indiana’s Rules and Regulations for Electric Service. AES Indiana may require a cash deposit from an existing non-residential customer when such customer has been mailed two consecutive disconnect notices or three non-consecutive disconnect notices within the preceding 12 months, or when service has been disconnected for nonpayment. If you are charged a security deposit as a condition of obtaining service, AES Indiana will mail additional information regarding how to establish credit worthiness or non-residential customers can provide a surety bond in lieu of a security deposit.

In general, non-residential customer deposits are refunded when:

• The non-residential customer closes their account with AES Indiana

• Or, the customer has not had a delinquent bill out of the last 24 consecutive bills

• Or, the customer has not had more than six non-consecutive delinquent bills out of the last 36 consecutive bills whichever occurs first.

We recommend placing your order at least three business days in advance of your requested service change date. However, on many occasions we are able to accommodate service order requests right up to the date of your order due to our Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI).
