This program provides customized solutions for multifamily buildings or complexes with five or more units, and includes:

• Assistance with energy efficiency upgrade projects already planned
• An assessment of your building's energy-saving opportunities
• Resources to support in-depth assessment of a full range of strategies for further improvements including solar and other renewable energy, as well as health and safety measures
• Incentives and financing for energy efficiency upgrades

To stimulate energy efficiency project activity and project measure installations in 2020, a limited time increase of incentive levels is available for Multifamily Initiative projects proposed as of 6/19/20 that are completed by 11/15/20.

Step 1 - APPLICATION:

Provide your contact information and any project information with this application. For energy efficiency projects, submit it to your electric utility company. For renewable energy and/or financing  projects only, submit your application to the Green Bank. If your application is for both energy efficiency and renewable energy or financing, submit it to both your electric utility and the Green Bank.

At this point, if you already have an energy efficiency or renewable energy project, additionally submit any project proposal(s) and a completed Project Form to your electric utility company (for energy efficiency projects) and to the Connecticut Green Bank (for projects including renewable energy and/or financing). After we’ve helped you address this proposal, if you’d like to evaluate your property in a more holistic way, follow the steps below.

Step 2 - ASSESSMENT & TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE: 

Need help designing your project?

Once you’ve completed Step 1 above, a utility or Green Bank representative (as appropriate) will contact you. A professional consultant or in-house representative is available to visit your property to identify the cost-effective energy improvement opportunities that make the most sense for your property. Technical and financial assistance is available through the Multifamily Initiative for a wide variety of design and predevelopment tasks, including: 

Using the recommendations from the energy assessment and any technical assistance you select, design and price a comprehensive project that will maximize your energy savings, as well as the incentives and financing you will receive.

Step 3 - FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE:

If your project qualifies based on your submitted proposals, plans, specifications, and pricing, you will receive a commitment of incentive dollars and, if requested, an offer for financing the balance of the project cost. You can also provide your own financing or explore one of these sources. After construction and required inspections are complete, incentives are paid.

It is recommended that owners track utility use and verify that equipment is working properly during the warranty period and beyond.

Existing properties of five or more residential units may be eligible for the Multifamily Initiative. 

The following types of properties are eligible:

• Apartment buildings and complexes
• Condominiums and co-operatives
• Congregate and senior housing
• Mixed-use residential and commercial properties
