Easy-to-implement energy-saving measures, such as switching lighting to LEDs and optimizing air conditioning, have already been implemented in many facilities. However, an increasing number of personnel feel a sense of stagnation, facing an obligation that continues with no clear "next step." The blind spot in this situation is aging motors introduced 20 to 30 years ago. While their replacement is postponed with the reasoning that they are "still working," older motors are several percent less efficient than the latest models, and this difference accumulates as electricity costs year after year. ■ Reasons for Hesitation in Replacing Aging Motors and the Overlooked Option of Subsidies Even when the energy-saving effects are understood, the biggest reason for not proceeding with equipment upgrades is the "inability to foresee the return on investment." The initial cost of motor introduction is high, and it is not easy to independently calculate the potential savings in electricity costs. With the urgent need to address carbon neutrality, the inability to present CO2 reduction figures to management also complicates decision-making. However, is the perspective of subsidies missing from this decision-making process? By utilizing subsidy programs available from this year, equipment investment costs can be reduced by up to half. Despite this, the current situation is that many facilities overlook these opportunities due to reasons such as "not knowing how to apply" or "the procedures seem complicated." ■ This Seminar Will Introduce the Energy-Saving Market Trends for Industrial Motors and the GX III Subsidy This seminar will present concrete figures on how much electricity consumption can be reduced by upgrading to super-prem
