A bill deposit protects Visayan Electric against customers who neglect to pay their electric bills. The deposit allows Visayan Electric to recover payment equivalent to one billing period when a customer fails to pay an amount that has become uncollectible. The Energy Regulation Commission (ERC), through the rules of the Magna Carta and Distribution Services and Open Access Rules (DSOAR), allows power distributors like Visayan Electric to collect a bill deposit from all residential and non-residential customers that apply for new and/or existing with additional electric service.
