Summary

The Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) offers net metering for customers with renewable energy generation systems with an installed capacity of 25 kW or less. Eligible systems use solar power, wind power, fuel cells, hydroelectric power, landfill gas, digester gas, waste, dedicated energy crops, or certain biomass to generate electricity. Systems should be sized to primarily offset the customer's energy usage at the site. 

Excess generation is compensated at a rate of $0.0311/kWh. Credits are applied to the full EWEB bill, including amounts for water and waste water service. Should excess generation credits be in excess of a total bill, the credits would carry over month-to-month with no expiration.
