Base Power

Today we’re announcing $1B of Series C funding and calling on engineers, operators, and creatives everywhere to join the charge to build the future of American power. In less than two years, Base has become one of the fastest growing energy companies in the country. We’ve deployed more than 100 MWh of battery capacity, partnered with major homebuilders and utilities, and scaled across Texas. This funding will accelerate the buildout of our first factory in the heart of Austin at the former Austin American-Statesman printing press. But the biggest challenges still lie ahead, as demand soars and the aging grid struggles to keep up. We’re looking for problem-solvers who want to build technology to accelerate America’s growth.

Thanks to @mariogabriele and @thegeneralistco for having Zach on this week to talk about all things Base, grid, and American energy.

Through the program, @CoServ will dispatch the battery fleet to manage peak demand and strengthen grid reliability, while Members receive affordable whole-home backup power.

We’re excited to announce a new agreement with @CoServ, deploying 100 MW of residential battery storage across their North Texas service territory. The program is Base’s largest collaboration to date and one of the largest distributed residential energy storage programs led by a Texas electric cooperative. This marks Base’s fifth utility collaboration in Texas, building on a proven model for rapidly bringing new capacity online.

Distributed energy storage is moving from concept to core grid infrastructure, and our partnership with @ElPasoElectric is a prime example of what that looks like in practice. In this interview with PV Magazine, Tim Pianta, our Head of Utility Partnerships, shares how we're helping utilities like EPE unlock flexible, customer-sited capacity faster and more cost-effectively than traditional buildouts.

5 years ago today, a major winter storm, Uri, plunged into the southcentral U.S. -- some of the coldest sustained weather in a century for Texas. A massive human and financial crisis ensued in the wake of the energy sector's failure to keep gas flowing and the lights on. 🧵

Thanks to @LizClaman and @FoxBusiness for having Zach on yesterday to talk about Base's growth, our new partnership with El Paso Electric, and continued expansion.

We’re excited to announce a new partnership with @ElPasoElectric, launching a pilot program that will use home battery systems to strengthen the electric grid during times of high demand. This program represents a scalable model for utilities seeking to add 24/7 dispatchable, demand-side capacity to the grid on significantly shorter timelines than traditional infrastructure buildout, supporting El Paso Electric in addressing local capacity constraints while improving customer resiliency.

Energy infrastructure can’t wait another decade. We’re building the next generation of power, now. Join us, we’re hiring.

This past weekend, Winter Storm Fern brought extreme weather from Texas to the eastern seaboard, and Base Power showed what distributed batteries can do: intelligence and resilience closer to homes, stabilizing the grid during peak stress and protecting families when outages hit. While our members dripped faucets and stocked up on supplies, we charged the battery fleet and had our engineering and operations teams ready to support. The storm ended up being less destructive in Texas than five years ago. Even so, we backed up over 350 grid outages, delivering 10 total days of backup power. Across the fleet, we had 10,000 days of backup power standing by if the grid went down. Other parts of the country saw a different outcome. Hundreds of thousands lost power from Tennessee to New York and PJM energy prices hit near record peaks. A reminder that extreme weather and grid reliability are challenges that span the entire country. We're expanding to meet them. Moments like this past weekend are why we built Base: to support the grid during times of stress, and to keep Americans protected when it matters most.

We’re proud to welcome Travis Kavulla (@TKavulla) as Head of Policy and Zina Bash as Chief Legal Officer to establish Base Power's legal and policy foundation for national growth. As Base Power scales nationally, we’re building a world-class legal and policy function to engage deeply with regulation, market design, and grid reliability.

Base is excited to announce our partnership with Farmers Electric Cooperative to bring affordable backup power to homes across Northeast Texas. This partnership gives Farmers members access to Base’s battery system, designed to keep homeowners powered through outages. We’re starting with a limited offer for our Farmers Founding Members: Be amongst the first 200 to sign up and receive 50% off your installation.

The outage that impacted the Bay Area this past week is an example of how reliability can break down with today’s infrastructure. I’ve received a lot of questions about what happened and why, so I spent a few minutes walking through it.

As we've grown to serve thousands of Texans, we’ve heard from homeowners that staying powered through everyday outages matters, but many remain concerned about protection during longer outages when the next major storm hits. We're excited to introduce the Base Generator Recharge Port, a first-of-its-kind product that allows Base members to plug a standard portable generator, like the ones you get at Costco or Walmart, directly into your Base battery to keep you powered for days.

This wasn’t just another fundraising announcement. It was a masterclass in taste, timing & teamwork. Huge props to the @basepowerco crew for executing one of the best comms moments of the year. $1B raised, every detail mattered. A story worth studying. axios.com/2025/10/20/bas…
