The council agreed its Energy Strategy in February 2016.
- Energy strategy 2016-20 (pdf 7 mb)
This provides a strategic framework to deliver energy projects across Havant Borough until 2020 and sets out the direction of travel to improve energy security, reduce fuel poverty and maximise economic benefits. The Strategy has three principles:
- Improve energy efficiency
- Increase local energy generation
- Demonstrate Council Leadership
Cosy Havant
Cosy Havant is a scheme providing residents of Havant Borough substantial financial support towards selected energy saving home improvements.
Unfortunately there is no funding available at current. If you would like to join a list to access any future funding, please leave contact details via the following online form.
Statement of intent
A 'statement of intent' enables local authorities to set up their own eligibility criteria to access Energy Company Obligation (ECO) under the Flexible Eligibility (flexi).
- Statement of intent (pdf 265 kb)
ECO is an obligation on energy suppliers aimed at helping households cut their energy bills and reduce carbon emissions by installing energy saving measures.
The third phase of ECO started on 1 October 2018.
The council will publish its new and amended Statement of Intent as soon as the guidance for ECO3 has been made available.
Home Energy Conservation Act (HECA)
Under the Home Energy Conservation Act 1995, we have a duty to publish a report about what we are doing to help with home energy conservation in Havant Borough.
The report must give details of what progress has been made and what plans there are for further improvements.
