At a Glance
The Irrigation Hardware Maintenance and Upgrades UES measures address savings opportunities from improved maintenance of hand lines, wheel lines, center pivots, and linear moves and from upgrades of center pivots and linear moves. All of the measure applications result in reductions in water demand, which in turn reduce pumping energy required to meet that demand.
To learn more about the specifics of the Maintenance measure and the Upgrade measure see the bottom of the page.
This memo describes the updates to the latest version of this measure.

Approve measure update
Decision DetailsApprove the updates to the agriculture irrigation hardware UES measure; change the measure category to “Small Saver”; set the measure status to “Active”; and change the sunset date to April 30, 2018.
Set Measure to Out of Compliance
Decision DetailsThe RTF approved the Out-of-compliance UES Measure Plans: Ag Irrigation Hardware.
Direction for future analysis
Decision DetailsExtend the opportunity to 11/14/2012 to get approval of plans to bring into compliance Agricultural Irrigation Hardware and Agricultural Motors UES Measures (measures’ status will remain ‘out-of-compliance’).
The RTF will review proposed plans to bring Ag Irrigation Hardware and Ag Motors measures into compliance with the guidelines. Idaho Power is performing field monitoring on 11 of the Ag Irrigation Hardware measures. The Small/Rural Subcommittee is pursuing "small saver" status for some or all Ag Irrigation Hardware measures. PacifiCorp and BPA expressed interest in providing data for the Ag Motors measures.
