The Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) is Oregon's largest customer-owned utility. Founded in 1911, it provides electricity and water to more than 86,000 customers in or around Eugene, Oregon.
Chartered by the City of Eugene, a five-member Board of Commissioners is elected by the citizens of Eugene and governs the utility.[1] Four commissioners are elected by their respective geographic wards; a fifth commissioner is at-large and elected by all of Eugene's voters. This board retains full control and sets policies for the water and electric utilities.[1]
Electric resource portfolio
More than 95 percent of the electricity EWEB serves its customers comes from hydropower, wind and other sources that do not generate carbon-based emissions that are linked to global warming.[2]
Most of this electricity comes from the federal Bonneville Power Administration and from EWEB's own hydroelectric projects.[3] EWEB was the first public utility in Oregon to own a wind farm, and the utility has contracts to purchase a substantial amount of wind and geothermal power generated in the Northwest.[2]

Electric resource plan
EWEB’s Integrated Electric Resource Plan guides future resource decisions.[4] Developed with the help of citizens, it prioritizes a continually aggressive energy conservation effort and the acquisition of renewable power to meet increased demand that such effort cannot offset.
