Green Motors Rewind Correction • Discovered one recommendation that was not incorporated in final workbook • Suggested bringing data on weighted average mix of motor efficiencies before RTF • Current method: Use NEMA Premium efficiency only • Proposed method: Use GMPG weightings of Pre-EPAct, EPAct and NEMA Premium efficiencies • Staff could present data from GMPG to RTF • Outcome appears to be small savings change for motors 500 HP and less
