We have proven the model works
Across 3 metros and 6 utilities in the last 12 months.
Base is deployed across three metro areas and six utility partners. Our in-house deployment factory covers software, logistics, installation, and service, allowing us to scale quickly into new geographies.
- 3 metro areas, 6 utility partners
- In-house deployment, installation, and lifetime service
- Raised $1.3B to build 20 GWh of domestic manufacturing capacity in Austin, TX
Direct dispatch by market operators and utility partners. Sub-second responsiveness, with delivered power consistently tracking dispatch instructions.
- 24/7 dispatchable up to 500 cycles a year
- 96% fleet availability
- Field-demonstrated <5% forced outage rate
Base has earned strong customer satisfaction and built significant demand in regions with similar resiliency needs. When Base launches in a new area, demand is already there.
- 4.8/5 stars on Google
- 20,000+ member waitlist
- Strong organic and referral-driven growth
Base is a vertically integrated distributed storage technology provider.
We design and manufacture purpose-built hardware.
Our proprietary residential BESS (20 kW / 40 kWh)
We deploy those systems efficiently at scale.
Installed, maintained, and supported by Base's in-house deployment team
We deliver dispatchable capacity to utility partners.
Fully dispatchable, local aggregations of batteries
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.
