Energy Scorecard: One of the Key Executions to Transform the Market for Energy-Efficient Motors

Turkey has an important place in Europe with the market size of 240 billion dollars in low-voltage electric motors. It is also estimated that there are approximately 15 million electric motors in the field. Most of these electric motors used in the field are inefficient motors. The motor regulation applied in Turkey is the same as regulation of European Union. Besides, a project named Promoting Energy-Efficient Motors in SMEs in Turkey that is TEVMOT has been initiated for the replacement of inefficient electric motors used in the field. Thanks to the TEVMOT project implemented by the Directorate-General for Industry and Productivity of the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Industry and Technology in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Country Office Turkey with the financial support of Global Environment Facility (GEF), it is desirable to create a sustainable model for the replacement of inefficient motors. In addition to giving full support to this project, Electric Motor Industrialists Association (EMOSAD) recommends the implementation of the energy scorecard model in order for the study to be successful.
