Australian Baldor’s first High Efficiency Motors Project
 s the world comes to grips with climate change, industries are now looking for the sustainable solutions to energy efficiency. Electric motors power our industries, and it comes as a bit of a shock to find that the energy used by electric motors accounts for 13% of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions.
Indeed, 58% of electric power generated by our power stations is used by these motors. Over the lifetime of an electric motor, the cost of this power will be 100 times greater than the initial motor cost.

Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007
On December 19, 2007, President Bush signed the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which raises the mandatory minimum efficiency level of integral horsepower industrial motors sold after December 19, 2010.
1 – 200 HP motors currently covered by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) today will need to meet the NEMA Premium® (NEMA MG-1, Table 12-12) by the end of 2010.
Most of the 1 - 200 HP motors currently not covered by EPAct today and motors from 201-500 HP will need to comply with Energy Efficient levels (NEMA MG-1, Table 12-11).
