Toast Electric is the only not-for-profit power company in Aotearoa New Zealand. We're all about keeping Wellington warm, eliminating energy hardship and lowering household carbon emissions. We're the little electric company with a big heart.

With Toast, you can come home to a welcoming space that’s warm and dry, knowing that at the end of the day you’ve also shared a little bit of warm fuzzy goodness with your local community, because we’re all about taking good care of you, the wider community and our precious resources.

Toast is different because we’re using our profits to eliminate energy hardship for households that are making the tough choice between heating and eating. Our aims are to:

  • Eliminate energy hardship

  • Lower household carbon emissions

  • Keep everyone warm, healthy and happy

We’re also offering free in-person Home Energy Checks with our qualified assessors, helping customers save money by using less energy and lowering their household carbon emissions.

Toast Electric is here to provide you an irresistibly good service that warms your heart as much as your toes. For customers in energy hardship, the services our profits enable us to provide include:

  • Discounted electricity costs over the winter months (June/July/August)

  • A detailed Warm Fuzzies home assessment to check how your insulation, heating, ventilation, hotwater and other electrical appliances are working for you.  Advice on how to reduce your costs and get the best out of your home

  • Some free stuff like draught snakes, window kits, LED’s, mould cleaning kits etc.

  • Referrals to our insulation and heating government supported programmes

  • Advice or support to talk to your landlord about the condition of your property (if you’re renting)

  • Ongoing information on ways to keep warm and healthy

This is currently a referral only programme; you can be an energy wellbeing customer by being referred through one of our partner agencies.

Toast Electric is powered by Sustainability Trust, a social enterprise that offers sustainable living solutions in Te Upoko o te Ika a Māui (Wellington region).

All our profits are invested in our award-winning programmes that empower everyone to live more sustainably. When it comes to healthy homes, helping people to reduce their impact on the environment and giving back to the community, you can trust us.
