Eligibility
Program 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 monthly the 2026 Annual Renewable Net-Metered Rate of 3.99 cents per kWh for that billing cycle. For direct generation, energy generated and sold directly to EWEB will be purchased at the 2026 Annual Renewable Generation Purchase Rate (Purchased Power and RECs) of 6.34 cents per kWh.*Beginning in 2026, EWEB transitioned to a new method of calculating solar rates based on avoided cost, ensuring that solar compensation reflects the financial benefits of local renewable energy to the utility and its customers.
