It’s never been cheaper to remove your old, inefficient electric motors and replace them with new, more efficient ones.
Why? Because, right now, the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority is paying motor users a bounty to do it.
This is a limited time offer, so you need to act promptly to take advantage of the scheme.
What is the Motor Bounty Scheme?
The Motor Bounty Scheme is an incentive scheme to encourage motor users to upgrade the efficiency of their electric motors.
The Scheme aims to permanently remove older inefficient motors by paying motor users up to $7,400 towards the cost of replacing those motors with newer, more efficient ones.
What motors qualify?
Three-phase induction motors between 22kW and 265kW in size that meet certain other criteria.
Why should I replace my older motors?
Because, quite simply, it will reduce your electricity costs.
In addition, upgrading your motors should improve your plant reliability and reduce plant downtime and maintenance costs as a result.
How much is a bounty payment worth?
The current Motor Bounty payment rates are:

These rates mean that:
- when you replace a qualifying failed motor according to the Scheme’s requirements, you receive a total subsidy of $25 per kW of capacity of the new motor; and,
- When you replace an operational motor, the total payment is $40 per kW.
How much can I get paid for my old motor?
What you are paid for your motor depends on whether or not it is operational, as shown in the following examples:
