Energy Efficient Motors Program
What is it?
If your facility uses three-phase motors a minimum of 2,000 hours annually and qualifies, the commercial Energy Efficient Motors program can earn you rebates for adding or replacing old motors with new, high-efficiency models that exceed minimum product manufacturing standards.
How does it work?
You can earn $6 per motor-horsepower (hp) upgrade - and get the long-term benefits of improved efficiency for a key component of your business. View the nominal efficiency tables for your new motor.
Minimum qualification for motors is as follows:
- Size range from 1 hp to 500 hp
- Motors must be new, three-phase induction motors
- NEMA design A & B
- Open Drip-Proof (ODP) or Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled (TEFC)
- 1200, 1800, or 3600 RPM
- Eligible motors most operate a minimum of 2,000 hours annually
