The future of energy will not look like the past. Historically, the relationship between an energy provider (EWEB) and an energy consumer (you) was simple and moved in one direction: You flip the switch, the power flows and the lights come on.  

But demand for electricity is growing as more people switch to electric heating and cooling and opt for electric vehicles. While electrification is good for the community, it requires a new dynamic between energy providers and customers.  

In the future, the relationship will be more interactive, a relationship of partnership. When energy demand is highest, so are the costs, carbon intensity and risk of energy shortages. Meeting those challenges will require new approaches. EWEB and customers will need to work together at those times to balance energy usage, especially during peak times, in ways that benefit everyone.  

During this session, EWEB will discuss: 

• The changing energy landscape in Eugene and the Northwest 
• EWEB’s ongoing energy supply and demand forecasting efforts 
• The need for partnership between EWEB and customers to synchronize energy demand and supply 

Together, we’ll explore how Eugene’s — and the Northwest’s — energy system is changing, why those changes are happening and how we can work together to shape a clean, reliable and affordable energy system of tomorrow.
