The term electronic control means— a power converter; or a combination of a power circuit and control circuit included on 1 chassis. The term extended product system means an electric motor and any required associated electronic control and driven load that— offers variable speed or multispeed operation; offers partial load control that reduces input energy requirements (as measured in kilowatt-hours) as compared to identified base levels set by the Secretary; and has greater than 1 horsepower; and uses an extended product system technology, as determined by the Secretary.
The term qualified extended product system means an extended product system that— includes an electric motor and an electronic control; and reduces the input energy (as measured in kilowatt-hours) required to operate the extended product system by not less than 5 percent, as compared to identified base levels set by the Secretary. The term qualified extended product system includes commercial or industrial machinery or equipment that— did not previously make use of the extended product system prior to the redesign described in subclause (II); and incorporates an extended product system that has greater than 1 horsepower into redesigned machinery or equipment; and was previously used prior to, and was placed back into service during, calendar year 2020 or 2021.
Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall establish a program to provide rebates for expenditures made by qualified entities for the purchase or installation of a qualified extended product system. A qualified entity under this section shall be— in the case of a qualified extended product system described in subsection (a)(4)(A), the purchaser of the qualified extended product that is installed; and in the case of a qualified extended product system described in subsection (a)(4)(B), the manufacturer of the commercial or industrial machinery or equipment that incorporated the extended product system into that machinery or equipment.

The Secretary may provide to a qualified entity a rebate in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying— an amount equal to the sum of the nameplate rated horsepower of— the electric motor to which the qualified extended product system is attached; and the electronic control; and $25. A qualified entity shall not be entitled to aggregate rebates under this section in excess of $25,000 per calendar year. There is authorized to be appropriated to carry out this section $5,000,000 for each of the first 2 full fiscal years following the date of enactment of this Act, to remain available until expended.
