We deliver dispatchable capacity to utility partners.

Fully dispatchable, local aggregations of batteries

What we offer

Three ways to put Base to work

Pick the one that fits your system, or combine all three.

Bulk peaking capacity

Deliver accredited capacity to meet resource adequacy or peak shave to reduce capacity requirements.

Speed to power

Accelerate interconnection of large loads while providing affordability benefits to communities.

Distribution grid support

Deploy batteries on targeted circuits to relieve local grid constraints.

“Distributed energy storage is becoming an increasingly important tool for utilities navigating load growth, extreme weather, and infrastructure constraints. This collaboration with Base Power allows us to add flexible, cost-effective capacity while maintaining operational control and delivering tangible reliability benefits for our Members.”

Frequently asked questions

Utilities maintain full dispatch rights 24/7/365. Dispatch signals can be issued directly through the Operators dashboard or via system integration with your existing EMS or SCADA platform. When a signal is issued, Base responds within seconds across the entire fleet. You retain full visibility into fleet state, availability, and delivered power at all times.

Base targets full deployment within months of program launch — not years. Our in-house deployment factory handles software, logistics, and installation, which removes the bottlenecks that slow traditional utility-scale projects. Exact timelines depend on program size and service territory.

Base delivers a turnkey fleet with end-to-end vertical integration — covering software, logistics, installation, interconnection, and ongoing operations. Residential battery systems connect behind the meter at the member's existing service point, which eliminates the need for new interconnection agreements or substation upgrades in most cases. Systems can also be deployed in front of the meter where the program requires it.

Base members retain a minimum backup reserve at all times. Dispatch events draw from available capacity above that reserve, so members always have backup power on hand. Program terms and member opt-out provisions are defined in the member agreement and can be reviewed with our partnerships team.

Base can either toll Base-owned batteries to the utility on a pay-for-performance basis, or transfer ownership of the fleet to the utility once deployed (build-transfer model). Both structures give the utility full dispatch rights. Contact our partnerships team to discuss which structure fits your procurement requirements.
