Budget Billing Payment Plan

Upon enrollment, your Budget Billing amount is calculated based on the average 12-month usage history at your home address. Your EWEB bill remains fixed for a one-year period.

After one year, your Budget Billing amount is recalculated and your fixed monthly payment is adjusted based on:

1. Any balance or credit you have accrued over the past 12 months - Any accrued balance or credit will be spread out an applied to your next 12 months of bills.

2. The average of your last 12-month’s actual usage - If your actual electricity usage/bills over the past 12 months was higher than the calculated Budget Billing payment, your monthly payment will increase. If your actual usage was lower than estimated, your monthly payment will decrease.

3. Price adjustment - Changes to EWEB’s electric or water prices and changes to the City of Eugene stormwater and wastewater fees will be reflected in your annual Budget Billing recalculation.

Customer are responsible to look at their monthly bill to monitor actual energy use in order to avoid surprise balances or credits.

Budget Billing accounts renew automatically each year, unless otherwise directed by the account holder, or removed by EWEB due to ineligibility. 

You may discontinue Budget Billing at any time. If you have used more energy than you've paid for, the balance will be added to your next bill. If you have paid for more energy than you've used, we will credit your next bill.
