Products and brands

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.

Most of this electricity comes from the federal Bonneville Power Administration and from EWEB's own hydroelectric projects. 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.
