Toronto Home Energy Network

Toronto Home Energy Network (THE Network) is a grassroots, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to reducing carbon emissions from Toronto’s homes. Launched in 2023 by the leadership team behind the Pocket Change Project, we use a proven approach, collaborating with community groups across Toronto and a network of partners to provide homeowners with peer support and expert personalized assistance as they plan and implement their home’s decarbonization.

THE Network is addressing a critical need in the market. With single-family homes causing nearly one-fifth of Toronto's emissions, electrifying these homes is essential to achieving the city's goal of net-zero community-wide emissions by 2040. However, even homeowners motivated to eliminate their emissions face conflicting information and other obstacles. We focus on removing these barriers by sharing experience and information within communities and from experts.
