America's Power Company

The

power

grid

needs

an

upgrade.

With

the

rise

of

wind

and

solar

generation,

America

is

producing

more

electricity

at

cheaper

costs

than

ever

before

yet

the

electricity

we

buy

is

getting

less

reliable

is

holding

It

is

not

fit

to

harness

today’s

renewable

energy

sources,

and

The

key

to

unlocking

an

energy-abundant

future

is

distributed

battery

storage.

Batteries

leverage

renewables,

decrease outages,

and

smooth

volatile

energy

prices.

While

batteries

have

been

around

for

a

while,

existing

forms

of

storage

still

fall

short.

Typical

home

batteries

come

with

high costs

and

often

require

pairing

with

solar.

Centralized

grid-scale

batteries

take

several

years

to

get

online,

and

even

then,

they

are

limited

by

transmission

distances

and

existing

infrastructure.

Base

is

on

a

mission

to

change

this.

We

are

building

a

reliable

and

affordable

home

energy

service

powered

by

distributed batteries.

Our

technology

supports

the

grid

during

times

of

peak

need

and

protects

customers

during

outages

for

a

fraction

of

the

cost

of

other

solutions.

We

are

serving

customers

in

Texas

as

the

only

electricity

provider

to

offer

customers

a

home

battery,

monthly

service,

and

installation

all-in-one,

with

no

of

Zach and Justin
Think about everything that's gotten better over the last decade. Phones, cars, medicine, the internet. Now think about your electricity. It's gotten more expensive and less reliable. Base is built to fix that.

I grew up in Texas, the energy capital of America. I watched Winter Storm Uri knock out power to millions of homes for days. Meanwhile, electricity prices have nearly doubled over the last 20 years. The grid wasn't designed for what we're asking of it - we built Base to rebuild it, and fast.

When I met my co-founder Justin Lopas, he'd just spent years building rockets at SpaceX and leading manufacturing at Anduril. The team we've built around us launched satellite constellations and engineered the first electric vehicles at scale. They came here because energy is the next problem to solve this country. Everything we build starts from the same place: affordable, reliable power for everyone — whether that means lower bills, backup power, or technology that just works.

The first power company people actually love. America's Power Company.
