Money for Motors
Save money and increase your facility’s reliability by replacing an antiquated motor before it fails and shuts down your operation.
MidAmerican Energy will offer a bounty to customers who remove and environmentally dispose of old, inefficient motors. If the replacement motor meets specific energy efficiency requirements, an additional incentive may be available for the new motor. An incentive is offered to the motor distributor to help with the recycling process and lessen the burden on the owner. The old motor must be taken out of service to qualify for the bounty.
Program Incentives
- Existing motor bounty – Incentive to the customer for motors 1-20 HP, $50 per horsepower; for motors 25-200 HP, $40 per horsepower; for motors 225-500 HP, $30 per horsepower. In no case will the motor bounty exceed 70 percent of the new motor’s installed cost (labor and material).
- Replacement motor 1-200 HP – If the replacement motor installed is an ultra-premium motor identified as one band above NEMA Premium®, the customer receives an incentive per the current MidAmerican Energy motor program incentive table in addition to the bounty for the existing motor identified in item one above. There is no incentive for motors larger than 200 HP.
- Replacement motor – If the replacement motor installed is NEMA Premium efficiency, the customer will receive the existing motor bounty but no additional incentive for the NEMA Premium replacement unit.
- Recycling fee for motor distributor – For motors 1-20 HP, $15 per horsepower; for motors 25-200 HP, $10 per horsepower; for motors 225-500 HP, $5 per horsepower payable to the motor distributor.
- Salesperson incentive – For motors 1-50 HP, $1 per horsepower; for motors 60-500 HP, $0.50 per horsepower for sale of the replacement motor payable to the motor distributor for disbursement to the salesperson.
