39% savings by switching to Base Power. I've been a loyal Reliant customer for 30 years. No more. I was paying $0.22/kWh, including $0.075/kWh in Centerpoint fees. Now I'm with BASE. Transparent, all-inclusive pricing, easy 2-minute switch.

I have been with Green Mountain for years and realized my rate had been slowly going up and that I had been overpaying. I found that Base was also doing 100% renewable energy, and am thrilled that they are now saving me 40% on my electricity bill.

I am impressed by Base's use of technology to manage our power and thereby save me money. Their app is very useful and will developed. Knowing that I have battery backup is a welcome addition - and the price is right. They have always responded to all comments in a timely fashion and their public announcements are very useful and informative. Fortunately I have not had - yet - had to rely on the battery, but that demonstrates to me that in spite of all the horrible weather we have had, I can rely on maintaining the poser I would need should it becomes necessary.

Switched to Base Power for backup power and energy provider in Magnolia, TX about 6 months ago and the whole experience has been affordable and seamless. Their home battery kicks in instantly during outages—no noisy generator and no interruption to daily life. The flat-rate energy plan gives us predictable, below-market electricity bills with no surprises Installation was fast and professional, and during a recent storm, the battery kept us powered for over 18 hours… complete peace of mind. Highly recommend Base Power for anyone in the Houston area wanting dependable backup power, transparent pricing and great customer service!
