If my property receives service from more than one of the utilities covered by Multifamily Energy Savings, am I still eligible?

Multifamily Energy Savings is a statewide program implemented in two different regions, Northern Multifamily Energy Savings (PG&E) and Southern Multifamily Energy Savings (SDG&E, SCE, and SoCal Gas). If you meet the eligibility criteria in one program region, you are eligible for the other program region as well. Note: If you are participating in both the Northern and Southern program regions (e.g., you receive electricity from PG&E and gas from SoCal Gas), you will receive two separate incentive payments that correspond with the type of upgrade. You will receive one check for electric upgrades and one for gas upgrades. There may also be some additional paperwork involved in the program application process.

What if I only receive service from one of the major utilities that this program covers?

For example, if your property receives electricity from Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and gas from SoCal Gas, your property will qualify exclusively for gas equipment upgrades through this program. For information on how to receive incentives from other utility providers, please complete an interest form and a Multifamily Energy Savings team member can help identify what other programs may be available to your property.

Last month we replaced the lighting at our property with energy-efficient lighting, can your program reimburse me?

To qualify for incentives, the property must go through the eligibility checks and enrollment process. All upgrades must be pre-approved and installed through the program after enrollment eligibility is determined. For common area upgrades , an on-site energy audit is required to identify and recommend eligible energy improvements. In-unit upgrades must be installed by a contractor from the Energy Savings Assistance (ESA) network. Please complete an interest form to contact a Multifamily Energy Savings team member before making any upgrades to ensure eligibility and maximize available benefits.

Can I find out which upgrades my property qualifies for before enrolling?

These lists are subject to change as building codes evolve and new energy efficiency technologies become available. Eligibility for specific upgrades depends on factors such as your property’s climate zone, the age and condition of existing equipment, and other property details. Complete an interest form to explore potential upgrades and get in contact with a Multifamily Energy Savings team member who can begin the enrollment process. Once your property's basic eligibility is confirmed, an energy audit will be conducted, providing a detailed report of the upgrades and incentives available for your property.

Can I enroll my property in the program and only choose to receive in-unit upgrades or only common area upgrades?

Properties in SDG&E, SGE and SoCal Gas service areas must allow the opportunity to install in-unit upgrades to qualify for common area participation. Submit an interest form and a program team member can help you determine common area and in-unit options for your property.
