New Zealand is the first to introduce the world's strictest new regulations on motor energy efficiency
Oct 03,2025
In April 2025, the Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation Authority (EECA) of New Zealand released the "Consultation Document on Energy Efficiency Policy for Three-phase Squirrel-Cage Induction Motors", planning to raise the minimum energy efficiency standard (MEPS) for motors to the international leading level through a four-stage upgrade. The new regulation is expected to cover 85% of industrial motor equipment across the country and become the first regional regulation in the Asia-Pacific region to align with the EU IE4 standard.
I. Core Policy Upgrade:
1. A leapfrog improvement in energy efficiency
Starting from 2027, the IE3 standard (covering motors ranging from 0.75 to 375kW) will be mandatory.
The IE4 standard will be implemented in 2029 (with 75-200kW motors meeting the standards in phases).
2. Expansion of regulatory scope
New regulation for small motors ranging from 0.12 to 0.75kW (including home appliances and industrial scenarios) has been added
The energy efficiency data of the motor body, the manual and the official website should be publicly displayed in three dimensions
3. Alignment with international standards
New compatibility clauses for North American certifications such as UL 1004-14 have been added
Establish a mutual recognition mechanism for ASEAN's "Green Electromechanical" standards
Ii. Industrial Impact
On the manufacturing side, motor manufacturers need to invest 1.2 to 1.5 billion US dollars to upgrade their technology
On the consumer side, the unit price of industrial equipment has risen by 15% to 20%, and the energy-saving return period has been shortened to 2 to 3 years
Energy structure: The annual carbon reduction reaches 1.2 million tons, equivalent to the shutdown of two medium-sized coal-fired power plants
