As energy hardship rises, it's time to take control.

You may be seeing the same stories in the media, of people struggling to make ends meet while power companies announce record profits.

You have the power to choose where your money goes. You can buy power and know where your money is going — to your community.

Let's work together to create a more equitable energy system 💡

You may see us talk a lot about energy hardship, but what is it really? Why do we care so much?

Energy hardship affects almost a third of New Zealanders, and we want to change that. Everyone deserves to access the power they need to live healthily.

With Toast Electric, you pay the same power bill, but the profits go directly to the people in your community who need it most.

Cyclone Vaianu is setting up to roar across the North Island. Strong winds and heavy rain could cause power outages. Due to the winds it may take a while to get reconnected. If you do experience an outage, call Toast's outage hotline on 0800 688 243. It could be busy so stay on the line 😀

Powerco, one of NZ's largest network companies has some good advice on getting prepped. Especially if you are medically dependent on power for your health and wellbeing and/or have critical loads. Check out their advice here: https://www.powerco.co.nz/news/media/customers-urged-to-prepare-for-power-outages-ahead-of-cyclone

Stay safe out there!!

Powerco is urging customers to prepare for the potential of power cuts as Tropical Cyclone Vaianu tracks its way south towards New Zealand.  “We’re keeping a close eye on this potentially severe weather event, which could affect all of the North Island from the early hours of Sunday morning,”...

🎉 Mahi tika ana, whānau! 🎉

This week, Toast has signed up our 3,000th customer 🌟

3,000 customers. In barely 3 years. What a milestone!

For a small company with limited coverage, that number means something. It tells us there's a real appetite in Aotearoa for a different approach - one where everyone can access essential services, and nobody has to choose between heating and eating.

Toast is powered by people, for people. Together, we've donated over 500,000kWh of energy and completed home assessments for more than 400 households. None of that happens without you.

To everyone who's joined the Toast movement - thank you. With your support, we'll keep working toward a future without energy hardship 💗

Wow. 2025 has been a massive year for us.

We began the year powering 805 homes and we've more than tripled that number - up to 2,650! For a small team like us, that's a big leap.

Not only were we lucky to be nominated at this year's Wellington Gold Awards, we also then went on to 🏆 win 🏆 the People's Choice Award at this year's 2degrees Wellington Regional Business Excellence Awards, hosted by Hutt Valley Chamber of Commerce.

We're incredibly grateful to all of our customers, supporters, fans, friends and whānau for helping us to reach this milestone. Toast is powered by people, for people - thank you for sticking with us and being a crucial part of the Toast movement. We're laser-focused on our goal of ending energy hardship in Aotearoa and every bit of your support truly counts.

From all of us - thank you for making this year so wonderful and we hope you all have a safe, joyful and restful holiday season. We're signing off on the 24th December and will be back online on the 5th January.🎄

Here at Toast, our team has been working to end energy hardship in Aotearoa for more than three years - and we're still going strong.

As Christmas rapidly approaches and the pōhutukawa blossom starts to appear here in Te Whangānui-a-Tara, we're shining a light on some milestones we're particularly proud of.

If you've been thinking of joining us, now is a great time to sign up and pay it forward to whānau in your community this Christmas, just by paying your power bill. 🏠💡
