SECTION E. TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. ELIGIBILITY
Rebates are available to non-residential customers of Austin Utilities, Owatonna Public Utilities, and Rochester Public Utilities (here-in
referred to as The Utility). All products must be in use in facilities in the Utility service territory. The applicant shall be an end-user (i.e., not
a variable speed drive wholesaler, distributor, or installer) of either commercial or industrial variable speed drives.
2. APPLICATION
Program is offered January 1 through December 31 of the respective calendar year. Due to limited funding, this rebate offer can be
changed or withdrawn at any time without notice and is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. All projects must be
pre-approved by the Utility to qualify for a rebate. The entire rebate application must be read and filled out completely or the application
will be returned.
3. INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION
The Utility reserves the right to inspect the customer’s facility through on-site visits before and after new equipment installation or inventory
to verify rebate eligibility. The Utility reminds you to follow all local permitting and building code ordinances.
4. INSTALLATION AND REBATE AMOUNTS
Qualifying new variable speed drives installed and operational within six (6) months of the date of purchase are eligible for rebate under
the NEW or RETROFIT rebate schedule. Additional time may be granted subject to the Utility's pre-approval. Qualifying variable speed drives
being used for replacement of on-site inventory are eligible for rebate under the INVENTORY rebate schedule. In no case will the rebate
paid by the Utility exceed the purchase price of the equipment. The maximum rebate amount may be limited. Variable speed drives that
qualify for Utility rebates under other Utility programs are not eligible for a rebate payment under this program.
5. INVOICE AND PAYMENT
Following inspection and verification (see #3) and completed
installation, the customer must notify the utility and submit original invoices
specifying the quantity and price of all materials purchased, the date ordered, installation costs, and applicable taxes. After satisfactory
review of the invoices and on-site verification, a rebate check will be issued to the Customer. Vendors or contractors are not eligible to
receive the rebate. Please allow 6 – 10 weeks from the date of on-site inspection for delivery of payment. The utility reserves the right to
apply rebates to past due accounts.
6. EQUIPMENT ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To be eligible for a rebate, the variable speed drive installation must meet the following conditions:
a. Rebates are limited to HVAC fan and pump installations. Variable speed drives larger than 200 horsepower and installations on other
motor-driven machinery, constant torque loads, and hydraulic pumping may qualify for an incentive through our Custom High-Efficiency
Rebate Program. VSDs used only as a soft-start are not eligible for a rebate.
b. The fan or pump does not require a drive as a standard mode of operation.
c. The drive must contribute energy savings in normal operation.
d. The drive must vary motor speed automatically.
e. The drive must have a true power factor of 0.90 or greater.
f. VSD’s can cause waveform disturbances on the power lines. Therefore, a line reactor between the power source and the drive must
be included. The reactor rating should be as recommended by the VSD supplier but not less than 3 percent impendence of the VSD
rating.
The following new construction VSD installations are not eligible for rebates:
• VAV fan units greater than or equal to 7.5 horsepower without variable pitch fan blades.
• Heat rejection fans greater than or equal to 7.5 horsepower.
• Non-multi-stage hydronic pumping systems with a design output greater than 300,000 Btuh.

tax advisors for details.
8. DISCLAIMER

pursuant to this program will result in energy or cost savings. The Utility makes no warranties, expressed or implied, with respect to any
equipment purchased or installed including, but not limited to, any warrant of merchantability or fitness for purpose. In no event shall
The Utility be liable for any incidental or consequential damages. Customers are solely responsible for the proper disposal of existing
equipment. Consult the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) office for details at 800.657.3864.
