Money for Motors Program
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 1 to 500 horsepower motors. If the replacement motor meets specific energy efficiency requirements, an additional rebate may be available for the new motor. A rebate 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.

- Existing motor bounty – Rebae 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
