LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport branch of Lake County Library will host a program on energy efficiency on Saturday, Aug. 27, from 2 to 4 p.m.

Austin McCaffrey, an energy efficiency specialist for Mendocino County’s Community Development Commission, or CDC, will present a PowerPoint slideshow about the Mendo-Lake Energy Watch program.

The CDC operates the Mendo-Lake Energy Watch (MLEW) as a partnership with PG&E under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission.

MLEW provides resources to the community, including local governments, small and medium sized businesses, school and nonprofit organizations.

It offers energy services and solutions through classes on a range of sustainability topics, an energy efficiency auditing and retrofitting program, benchmarking services for local governments and technical support services for programs like Proposition 39 for Schools.
