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.

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% 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.
