ELECTRIC MOTOR REBATE PROGRAMS

At least eleven rural cooperatives (see below) are participating in a program that provides financial rebates to rural customers who retrofit electric motors, replace fossil-fueled motors, or install new energy-efficient electric motors. The primary sponsor of this program is the Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association.

Rebates apply to the installation of a new motor from 10 to 200 horsepower and which is to operate for a minimum of three months each year or a minimum 15% load factor. The rebate is offered at two levels, dependent upon the motor's National Electric Manufacturers Association efficiency rating:

Motor Efficiency Rebate
NEMA high-efficiency motor $20/hp
NEMA standard-efficiency motor $10/hp

Most co-ops will also pass on a $1.50/hp rebate for Wiring Assistance if the motor replaces a fossil-fueled engine, or is a new installation.

Rebate applications must be completed within 180 days of pump motor installation.
