Idaho Power offers incentives under the Green Motors Program (GMP) for rewinding their motors at an EASA accredited motor service center. Under the GMP, motor service center personnel are trained and certified to repair and rewind motors to improve reliability and efficiency, known as a Green Rewind. Unlike standard rewinds, the Green Rewind process ensures that motors return to their original efficiency when the rewind is complete. Each verified motor receives an EASA label certifying that the motor met the program requirements.

Incentive

Idaho Power pays $2 per horsepower (hp) with $1 going to the Electrical Apparatus Service Association customer in the form of a credit on the customer’s rewind invoice. The other $1 goes to the EASA accredited motor service center to help offset any added cost for each motor receiving a verified Green Rewind.

The EASA accredited motor service center submits all the required paperwork for the customer.

Qualifications

The Green Rewind is available to Idaho Power’s agricultural, commercial and industrial customers. Motors between 15 and 5,000 hp are eligible.* Motors must be rewound in an accredited EASA service center that has the equipment and training to perform Green Rewind. Each service center is audited periodically by an EASA sanctioned auditor.

*Some motors may not qualify for a Green Rewind due to extenuating circumstances, such as a damaged stator or rotor.
