NYSERDA’s Multifamily Performance Program (MPP) provides incentives from $700-$3,750 per unit for affordable multifamily property owners and managers who lower their building’s ongoing operating costs by making improvements. MPP will be transitioning to LMI Multifamily Join Implementation Program in the next 1-3 months. The new LMI Multifamily Join Implementation Program is based on a point system, where point values will be assigned to each measure based on its cost, saving potential, depth, and policy goals.

- Buildings where at least 50% of the building's gross heated footage is residential space
- Must pay System Charge (SBS)/NYSERDA Clean Energy Fund on electric utility bill
- Portfolio owners/managers with 10+ buildings or

- Ventilation: $750/dwelling unit
- Heating/Cooling electrification: $750/dwelling unit
- Domestic Hot Water (DHW) full or partial electrification: $750/dwelling unit
