Do you want to beat the Challenges?

• Water scarcity
• Climate Changes
• Economic Constraints
• Technological Limitations

By using electric motors and variable frequency drive systems you can streamline for better optimization of water consumption and minimize wastage. With rising engergy costs and concerns about carbon footprint emissions it challenges us to find alternative solutions in irrigation.

By selecting premium energy-efficient motors and choosing to partner with a variable frequency drive you can lower your overall consumption and reduce your operations costs while improving your water control in the canals and pipelines.

If you want to increase your profitability and find a comprehensive solution for irrigation allow us to show you the reliable performance and innovative solutions for your irrigation projects, propelling you to success.

Another savings is converting gas to electric. When you are paying on the average $4 a gallon and the average cost of electric is 15.73 Cents per kWG it is well worth the look. See State programs below and take advantage of the savings today!

Agricultural Irrigation Pump Diesel Engine Replacement with Electric Equipment

Funding is available through the Nebraska Clean Diesel Program to assist farmers with the replacement of an irrigation pump diesel engine with:

1. an electric motor, or
2. connecting a submersible pump directly to the electric grid.

NDEE anticipates funding 35 to 40 irrigation engine rebates.

• The current diesel engine must be in operating condition and have operated at least 250 hours each year over the past two years. Documentation of operating hours is required.
• The applicant must submit documentation that they have owned the engine to be replaced for at least two years prior to submission of the application.
• The diesel engine must have a remaining service life of at least three years based on age, condition, and usage.
• The diesel engine must be replaced with an electric motor or, if the engine powers a generator that runs a submersible pump, by directly connecting the submersible pump to the electric grid.
• The replaced diesel engine must be disabled (scrapped).
• NDEE will reimburse 60% of the cost of the electric motor, installation, and/or required electrical infrastructure (including electric line extension) up to a maximum rebate of $20,000.
• Each operator may apply for a maximum of one rebate for one engine.
• NDEE cannot reimburse any expenses paid before the rebate recipient has signed a project agreement with the Department.
