The Government of Alberta agency dedicated to helping the province save energy, Energy Efficiency Alberta, has recently announced a series of funding initiatives to support businesses as they convert to energy-efficient technologies.

As part of the Business, Non-Profit and Institutional Energy Savings Program, eligible customers serviced by an Alberta electric utility can apply for incentives to offset the cost of an investment in high-efficiency products. Included in the list of eligible technologies are variable frequency drives (VFD) for pumps and motors, including systems with integrated speed control. Customers upgrading a constant speed pump to one controlled by a VFD can avail of a rebate ranging between $50 to $140 per horsepower of the motor controlling a pump (0.1 HP – 100 HP). Both complete replacement systems and the upgrading of an existing system are eligible. Further information on this program can be found on the Energy Efficiency Alberta website - www.efficiencyalberta.ca.

Sego stocks both the integrated and stand alone VFD packages. Please contact us for more details!
