Distribution utilities require a bill deposit similar to a security deposit required from all consumers upon applying for their electricity services. It is equivalent to one month of billing as a payment guarantee.

In a statement on Monday, GSIS said the transport hub dubbed as ‘Project Hub’, will be located at the corner of the Elliptical Road and Commonwealth Avenue.

The Magna Carta for Residential Electricity Consumers allows customers to request a full refund of their deposit if they did not miss paying their dues for three consecutive years even before the termination of their contract.
