At SAFPA’s recent hybrid virtual and physical meeting, Ruveer Persad and Fanie Steyn from Zest WEG Group gave an interesting presentation on minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) in South Africa. They covered the adoption of MEPS standards for electric motors, highlighting that 65% of the electricity consumed in industry is by electric motors, and if we can save even 0,5% in efficiency, this would have a substantial impact. They also explained the various motor efficiency classes and methods of measuring efficiency and global requirements, highlighting the need to create awareness of these standards in the country. They added that big users of motors have moved to IE3, and by the end of 2024 this could well be standard in South Africa.
