Eco-Drive
Be among the first to experience the region's premier new electric vehicle showcase on West Street. Hands-on with the latest EVs from local dealerships — and live V2L battery tech demonstrations showing how display cars physically power elements of the festival.
The EV showcase will come alive against the backdrop of the pulsating percussion of Batala Portsmouth's Afro-Brazilian samba music. Part of the wider Eco Arts Fest.

What is
community
energy?
Locally generated
Energy produced by and for local people — rooftop solar, small wind, tidal — not distant corporations.
Carbon reduction
Every kilowatt-hour generated locally displaces fossil fuels and cuts the carbon footprint of our streets.
Reinvested revenue
Surpluses go back into the community — funding more generation, reducing bills, supporting residents.
Democratised ownership
Community Benefit Societies put control in local hands, reshaping who owns and profits from energy.
Our aim
HCE focuses on cutting carbon emissions via retrofitting buildings and generating renewable energy. Every pound of revenue gets reinvested back into the community to produce more clean energy — reshaping the economics of how power is made and owned.
We work with community centres to reduce their energy use and install rooftop solar. We're investigating solar on landfill sites to boost biodiversity, and exploring battery storage, small wind, tidal, and geothermal options.
Non-profit
Community Benefit Society
For residents
We're building community heating and energy systems for the future. In the meantime, these trusted partners can help you today.
Switched On Havant
Local advice and support for Havant residents on energy efficiency, fuel poverty, and cutting bills. Practical help, no jargon.
