Bay Area Regional Energy Network (BayREN) - Multifamily Residential Energy Efficiency Rebate Program
Quick Summary
The BAMBE program provides rebates starting at $500 per unit—potentially over $5,000 per unit depending on your project scope and location—that on average cover 30-40% of total upgrade costs for eligible multifamily properties in the nine-county Bay Area. You'll receive no-cost technical assistance to identify which energy-efficient upgrades (like heat pumps, water heaters, insulation, and HVAC systems) make sense for your building, and rebates are paid after installation is complete. To get started, submit an Interest & Eligibility Form; a program representative will confirm your eligibility, assign you a technical assistant, and guide you through the full process from site visit through final rebate payment within 3–6 weeks of project completion.
