What is the TVA’s Energy Right® Solutions Rebate?
BELLE™ Motors- the world’s only large horsepower single-phase motors- have been approved by the Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) Energy Right Solutions Rebate program. This means customers located in the TVA region are eligible for a rebate of up to 70% for all BELLE™ products. This is great news for customers considering a BELLE™ Motor for their application. The purpose for this program is to create a more environmentally friendly ecosystem by incentivizing agricultural and industrial businesses to convert their inefficient diesel or natural gas engines to electrically powered drives.
Am I Eligible?
The Energy Right® Solutions applies to any customer located in the TVA region who is installing a BELLE™ Motor in place or instead of a diesel or natural gas engine. Take a look at the map provided on TVA’s website to see if you are located in a qualifying area.
How the Rebate Works
Upon purchasing a BELLE™ Motor, the TVA will calculate an estimated rebate for your application up to $0.10/kWh. Using your annual hourly operating time and your motor’s kWh usage, the TVA calculates a savings figure for your motor. Some users will be eligible for an incentive of up to 70% of the initial installation cost of the motor. Essentially, a higher operating time and kWh usage will result in a greater rebate returned back to the user. Upon request, Single-Phase Power Solutions can deliver an estimated cost-savings proposal for your application.
Why Install a BELLE™ Large Horsepower Single-Phase Motor?
BELLE™ Motors are up to 60% more efficient than diesel engines. You can check out a complete analysis of BELLE™ motors vs. diesel engines here. With a near unity power factor, operating efficiencies of 95.5%, and a running speed of true 1800 rpms, our motors outperform diesel engines for most applications. Utilizing our patented Written-Pole® technology, we are able to produce starting currents of less than 2x the running current (typical induction motors require 6x the running current for starting) allowing for a utility-friendly startup on the power line as well as making our motors more cost efficient due to our low startup requirements.
