Rebate Calculator Form * Rebate limited to no more than two units per sprinkled acre.
** Lateral moves also included. Variable Frequency Drives in Agricultural Hardware Applications Requirements and Specifications This measure applies to pumping operations that deliver, distribute or transport irrigation water with VFDs 500 hp or less. Eligible installations include turbine pumps with substantial variation in flow rates (e.g., 20% or more) or discharge pressure requirements (e.g., 10% or more). This measure provides an annual energy savings of 400 kWh per hp per VFD. New VFD installations must meet IEEE 519 standards. Note: Effective October 1, 2010 only turbine (and not centrifugal) pumps will qualify. Additional Documentation Requirements • Identification and location address • Pump Type (centrifugal or turbine) • Date of install • Application type (e.g., well or booster) • Operational hours per year • Pre-install billing history for two full seasons prior to install • Post-install billing history for one full season after install • Utility meter number • Pump TDH rating and flow rating (gpm) • Field elevation differences (as a percentage of total dynamic head) • Flow requirements changes (as a percentage of total flow rating) • Acres under irrigation system • Estimated site savings kWh • Name and version of VFD spreadsheet software or model used to estimate kWh savings • Estimated project cost and BPA credit/incentive Inland shall reimburse $80 per installed HP. Motor Replacements
Motor replacements are assumed to be in lieu of re-winds or at time of failure, and the incremental cost (and savings) is calculated off a National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standard efficiency motor for the same size and application. The credits/reimbursements are found in the tables below. Irrigation motor rebates require that the motor is open drip proof (ODP) or totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC), operates at 1,800 rpm, and is replacing older or rewound motors. Other types of motors will need to be submitted as custom proposals.
Eligibility: - Motors that qualify for Inland's credit/reimbursement may be purchased anywhere, but must be installed in an irrigated agriculture application.
- Motors must be:
1. New, three-phase AC induction;
2. 5 to 500 horsepower; and
3. NEMA design A, B, or C
Motors must meet or exceed the NEMA Premium® efficiency standard shown in tables below.

Credits/Reimbursements for Medium Voltage Irrigation System Motors (600v to 5,000v) | HP | NEMA Efficiency | Rebate Per Unit | Estimated Savings Per Unit (kWh/yr.) | | 250 | 95.0% | $2,385 | 15,901 | | 300 | 95.0% | $2,862 | 19,081 | | 350 | 95.0% | $3,339 | 22,261 | | 400 | 95.0% | $3,339 | 22,261 | | 450 | 95.0% | $3,757 | 25,044 | | 500 | 95.0% | $4,174 | 27,826 |
Variable Frequency Drives on Small Milking Machines in Dairies (CPN; WTP) Inland will credit/reimburse $2,200 for verified installations of Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) on milking machines of 10 HP or less. For larger sized machines, a custom proposal with Measurement and Verification (M&V) will still be required. Custom Project Proposals For other agricultural measures, Inland will credit/reimburse up to 15 cents/kWh not to exceed 70 percent of project cost for measures including the following, but not limited to: - Low pressure conversion with pump work
Change to 40 foot spacing on hand lines and wheel lines to enable conversion - Low energy precision application (LEPA) conversion for pivots and lateral moves
- Adjustable speed drives in certain applications (multiple-valved sprinkler systems and field elevation differences of 25 feet or greater)
The cost of the technical studies needed to accomplish the project is assumed to be covered in the Inland credit/reimbursement amount and in the total project cost for purposes of cost-capping. Custom projects must be submitted to Inland for review and have BPA approval prior to the purchase of the equipment and installation of the measure.
