Trusted by thousands of Texans

You’ve gotta check-out this new TX power company! Base Power Company. They make both power and whole-home power back-up batteries super affordable, and they install quickly. They beat everyone in the Texas market and not by a little, by a lot!! The paperwork was easy to understand and fast to complete. Their 3 year kilowatt-per-hour rate is lower than my previous power company charged, and that makes up for the total (very low) cost of the batteries paid over 3 years with no interest, so it’s a wash… pretty much like I’m spending nothing. My batteries were installed and tested on 12/17/24, in time to beat the winter storm power outages and I’m grateful. The sales team and the installers were polite, kind and efficient, with perfect clean up after the installation completed. This company is definitely a 5 star organization, 100%

Amazing!!! Great installation experience. Switch over testing was great. I can't wait until we have a power failure.😜🤣

Love our new battery backup system with BasePower! The process was super easy, and our rep walked us through everything and answered all of our questions. The permits and install went faster than expected, and we're so happy to have our backup system setup for the winter and potential grid issues. Thanks, BasePower!!!

While I thought it was too good to be true, Base’s solution is exactly what I’ve been looking for - backup power for an affordable upfront cost. Also excited to support a Texas-based team determined to fix our grid’s problems.

The idea of saving money, having a backup system, and environmentally friendly were the top reasons I chose Base. I've always wanted a backup system. I love how the system works. It is quiet, efficient, and a great thing for our planet. Thor and Everett were polite, professional, and courteous. I recommend Base Power and fully endorse their products!

Who is my energy provider?

If you receive your monthly energy service from GVEC, you will continue to do so with the installation of a Base battery.

Does my energy provider change when I get a Base battery?

No. Your energy provider does not change when you get a Base battery. If you see language about energy provider services on Base’s website, this is because Base also serves customers in competitive (deregulated) service areas of Texas. If you live in a competitive area, your zip code will return plans here.

How does grid-balancing work during an outage?

During an outage, the batteries automatically detect the loss of grid voltage and immediately disconnect your house from the grid. At that point, the battery supplies energy exclusively to your home—you are legally entitled to this energy, and our batteries will never discharge to the grid during an outage. Once the outage is over, your battery seamlessly reconnects your house to the grid and resumes normal operation.
