Cut your costs, not your power

Affordable electricity and outage protection in one plan, with installation, maintenance, and support included.

Backup that won’t break the bank

You get automatic backup without buying a battery. Base owns, installs, and maintains the system and earns revenue from the grid.

Fixed rate. No gimmicks.

One simple price, no time-of-use traps or seasonal spikes. Most Texans save up to 15% on power, and you renew at a guaranteed below-market-average rate after 3 years.

We buy you out.

Up to $250 to cover cancellation fees from your current provider. If you move, you can transfer service to the new homeowner or cancel for less than the upfront cost.

Skip the standby generator.

Silent, instant switchover in under a second (no gas, no fumes, no pull-start). Backup is always ready.
How it works

Steady under pressure

When the grid’s up, Base lowers costs by sending power back. When it’s down, your battery keeps the lights on. Stronger homes, stronger grid.

When the grid is up and running.
Base earns from the grid, not you. During demand spikes, your battery sends power out—lowering rates and keeping energy balanced.

A month and a half ago, my neighbors lost power for seven hours and I didn't even know. Base had already kicked in.

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%

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.
