Founded in 1911, it is Oregon's largest customer-owned utility and operates as a public, not-for-profit entity chartered by the City of Eugene. Owned by the residents of Eugene, EWEB's mandate is to deliver reliable, affordable utilities in service of the community rather than investors. Headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, the utility is characterized as a mid-sized employer that emphasizes public service and offers benefits and development opportunities to its staff. It frames its work around affordability and environmental stewardship, with a focus on adapting to community needs through flexible and innovative approaches. In 2026, EWEB announced the expansion of its Monroe substation to enhance resilience against natural disasters.
