A Step-by-Step Guide to Receive Multifamily Assistance ➞
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 Connecticut Green Bank.
If your application is for both energy efficiency and renewable energy or financing, submit it to both your electric utility and the Connecticut Green Bank using the links above.
If you already have an energy efficiency or renewable energy project that you are working on, submit the project proposal(s), and a completed Multifamily Initiative 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).
Once you’ve completed Step 1, a utility or Green Bank representative (as appropriate) will contact you.

Using the recommendations for all proposed energy efficiency upgrades, your contractor(s) will design and price a comprehensive project that will maximize your energy savings, as well as your incentives and financing.
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’s recommended that owners track utility use and verify that equipment is working properly during the warranty period and beyond.
