What We Do
Our mission at Base is to fix the power grid and enable affordable and reliable electricity for all. As America electrifies, our outdated power systems strain leaving families vulnerable to outages and rising costs. Base deploys home batteries that maintain household power during outages while stabilizing the grid day-to-day.
By creating a distributed energy storage network across Texas, we're making electricity more reliable & affordable, and laying the foundation for energy abundance at scale.
