Novato, Calif.’s, Sustainability Committee is holding a public workshop to receive input and comments on the development of its Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (EECS) and Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP).


The city is receiving a direct formula Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant from the U.S. Department of Energy and is required to develop and/or implement an EECS and to carry out activities that achieve the purposes of the program. Under the EECS, Novato will develop goals for energy efficiency, conservation and usage, and methods to achieve those goals through any combination of increasing energy efficiency, reducing fossil fuel emissions, reducing energy consumption through investments, and encouraging behavioral changes. Additionally, the meeting will guide the completion of the CCAP, which the Sustainability Committee has been drafting over the last year. The current draft CCAP is available for download at:
