Base Power designs, manufactures, and installs distributed battery storage systems for residential customers, providing whole-home backup power without requiring solar panels. Founded in Austin, Texas in 2023, the company has raised over $1.3 billion and installed systems in more than 10,000 homes across Texas and Illinois, with utility partnerships including Oncor, CenterPoint, and ComEd.
The company operates with full vertical integration, controlling every stage from system design through manufacturing to installation. This approach allows Base Power to optimise performance and reliability of its battery systems, which activate automatically during grid outages and help smooth volatile energy prices by leveraging renewable energy integration.
Base Power's stated mission extends beyond individual homeowners to grid modernisation at scale. The company is deploying a nationwide network of distributed batteries intended to strengthen the U.S. electric grid and reduce outages across the country. The team draws talent from sectors including aerospace manufacturing, electric vehicles, and high-growth startups, bringing engineering expertise to battery technology, power systems, electrical engineering, and residential installation.
