Cut Costs! Modernize Your Building! Improve Comfort!

This December, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) is launching the M-RISE Program — a state-run initiative you can count on to unlock major savings and upgrades!

M-RISE is designed to help high-density multifamily apartment buildings cut costs, modernize building systems, and improve resident comfort. From heating and cooling upgrades to insulation, windows, and modern electric appliances, the program will make it easier — and more affordable — to achieve meaningful energy savings!

		We’re asking building owners and managers to share their interests, challenges, and upgrade goals so we can design support that truly meets your needs. We want to hear directly from building owners and managers about: The challenges you face in maintaining efficient, healthy buildings The types of upgrades or support that would make the biggest impact How rebates and technical assistance can be tailored to meet your needs
By sharing your building information now, you’ll be among the first 100+ properties on our pre-launch list and help shape the design of rebates and support packages.

What We're Looking to Support

We are especially interested in properties that could benefit from:

• Energy efficiency upgrades to building envelopes, systems, and appliances
• Replacing outdated gas or oil equipment with modern electric systems
• Achieving significant energy savings because of these upgrades

These are the kinds of improvements that reduce operating costs, increase property value, and improve comfort for residents.

Who Should Submit an Expression of Interest?

• Owners and managers of garden-style, mid-rise, and high-rise multifamily apartment buildings
• Properties interested in exploring rebates and technical assistance for heating/cooling systems, insulation, windows, appliances, or electrification
• Buildings that may be good candidates for innovative solutions like U-shaped window heat pumps, solar PV, or battery storage

• Sharing your building’s needs so we understand where support is most valuable
