Multifamily programs · Minnesota
Funded energy upgrades for Minnesota multifamily properties.
Multifamily properties in the Twin Cities metro served by Xcel Energy for electricity, with gas from CenterPoint Energy or Xcel Energy, can qualify for a funded whole-building assessment, no-cost installation of water and lighting measures, and rebate bonuses on larger projects. ONPEAK identifies which of your properties qualify, manages enrollment and approvals, and you pay our fee only once the upgrades are approved.

Minnesota's utility program is built for buildings with a common entrance, shared areas and in-unit kitchens. Master-metered buildings and buildings where residents pay their own utilities can both take part. Gas heat and hot water are often owner-paid here, which puts more of the savings on the owner's side.

FAQ
What owners ask us.
Does my Minnesota property qualify?
The utility program covers multifamily buildings with a common entrance, shared areas and in-unit kitchens, served by Xcel Energy for electricity and CenterPoint Energy or Xcel Energy for gas. ONPEAK works with properties of 50 units or more. Send the address and we will confirm.
Is there really no capital cost?
For the assessment and the low-cost measures the program installs, yes. Larger projects can earn rebates and a bonus on top, which reduce your cost rather than remove it. Your scan separates the two.
Do residents who pay their own utilities qualify?
Yes. Buildings with master meters and buildings where residents pay their own utilities can both take part.
Which savings reach the owner?
Water, central hot water, gas heat and common areas usually reach the owner. In-unit electricity usually reaches residents. Our report separates the two.
How long does it take?
The scan takes 48 hours once we have your bills. Assessment and installation timing depends on the program's schedule and your property's access, and we plan it with your team.
