Commercial motors conservation

Premium efficiency means savings

Motors can account for up to 75 percent of the total electricity costs in industrial plants and 50 percent of electricity costs in commercial buildings.

By replacing your inefficient and burned-out standard-efficiency motors with NEMA premium-efficiency motors, you can reduce your energy use and operating costs.

In addition, energy-efficient motors

  • Run quieter.
  • Operate at lower temperatures.
  • Last longer.
  • Are easier to repair.
  • Have lower maintenance costs.
  • Provide a higher power factor to help lower your energy costs.

South Dakota EEP rebates

Motor rebates are available for South Dakota customers and are based on NEMA premium efficiency standards and horsepower.

Rebates may change at any time.
