dc.descriptionThis document provides a policy guide for accelerating the adoption of energy-efficient electric motors and motor systems, with a specific focus on general-purpose, three-phase induction motors commonly used in industry and commercial buildings. It presents a comprehensive framework based on global best practices, outlining the significant potential for energy savings and carbon emissions reduction through the transition to higher-efficiency technologies. The content details technical aspects of electric motors, energy losses, efficiency classifications (IE1–IE5), and market trends, and introduces the barriers—financial, market, regulatory, and informational—that hinder widespread adoption. It further offers a structured policy approach encompassing minimum energy performance standards (MEPS), supporting measures such as labelling, financial incentives, monitoring, verification, enforcement mechanisms, and considerations for environmental sustainability and end-of-life recycling. Case studies, implementation strategies, and guidance are integrated to support designing tailored national strategies for efficient motor deployment.en
