Deadline Approaching: New York Energy Brokers And Consultants Have Until April 30 To File Required Surety Bond

(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- With less than four weeks remaining, A1 Surety Bonds is urging New York State Energy Brokers and Energy Consultants to act immediately to meet the April 30, 2026 compliance deadline set by the New York Public Service Commission (PSC). Energy industry professionals who have not yet filed evidence of financial security with the Commission are at risk of registration denial, enforcement action, and the inability to legally conduct business in New York State.

The deadline stems from revised regulations adopted by the PSC under Public Service Law § 66-t, which now allow a New York State Energy Broker and Energy Consultant Surety Bond to satisfy the financial accountability requirement for registered Energy Brokers and Consultants. The April 30 date is firm - and with registration renewals and new applications both affected, time is running out for businesses that have yet to secure their bond.

"We've been helping Energy Brokers and Consultants get bonded since these regulations were introduced, but we're seeing too many businesses wait until the last minute,” said a spokesperson for A1 Surety Bonds.“April 30 is not a soft deadline. Missing it means risking your PSC registration - and we don't want anyone caught off guard with three weeks to go.”

What Is Required Before April 30?

All entities registered or seeking registration as an Energy Broker or Energy Consultant with the New York PSC must post evidence of financial security in the following amounts:
.Energy Brokers: $100,000 surety bond required
.Energy Consultants: $50,000 surety bond required
.Registered as both? Only a $100,000 bond is required
