AGP Industries Helps You Meet Energy Compliance Standards

Electric motor systems account for 23% of all electricity consumed in the United States and 70% of all electrical energy in the manufacturing sector. The energy required to operate all electric motors erupted a staggering 26 billion metric tons of CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere in 2004—and this is expected to grow another 65% by 2030.

The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) was enacted to introduce more energy efficiency and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. This federal law, which takes effect on December 19, 2010, requires electric motors, lighting, buildings, appliances, and power transmission grids manufactured in the United States to meet higher efficiency standards by December 2010.

These charts provide a complete summary of the new EISA efficiency requirements and current EPAct (Energy Policy Act) efficiency standards, to help you determine what changes your facility will need to make to meet these energy efficiency requirements. Call AGP Industries for more information about energy-efficient electric motors and about which motors must meet new NEMA Premium® efficiency levels. We can help you with your EISA compliance plan.
