Energy-Efficient Electric Motor Rebates

Applies to the installation of a new motor with a minimum of 10 horsepower, which is to operate at a minimum of 15% load factor or for a minimum of 3 months each year.  Motors less than 10 horsepower qualify if the aggregate for a single application, which requires all motors to operate, is at least 10 horsepower.

• Payments require a copy of the invoice or bill of sale with model number and/or specification sheet indicating horsepower.

• Note: Motors taken from customer’s stock qualify as follows:
  • if the invoice is less than six months old, motor qualifies for the appropriate efficiency payment
  • if there is no invoice, or the invoice is greater than six months old, motor qualifies for the lowest efficiency payment.

• Limited to irrigation motors

• Note:  Rebates must be requested within 120 days of installation.
