Base Power

Base Power Company is a rapidly growing energy technology company founded in 2023 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, that is reimagining the modern power company through vertically integrated residential battery storage. By designing, manufacturing, installing, owning, and operating large home batteries (25–50 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate systems), Base delivers affordable, fixed-rate electricity (as low as 8¢/kWh plus utility fees) combined with automatic whole-home backup power that activates during outages—protecting against 97% of grid failures at up to 95% less cost than traditional generators, with no solar required. Its proprietary software optimizes charging during low-demand periods and discharging to support the grid, creating a distributed virtual power plant that earns revenue from utilities while passing savings to homeowners and enabling faster grid capacity expansion. Led by co-founder and CEO Zach Dell, Base Power has scaled aggressively across Texas and is expanding nationally, serving thousands of homes with high customer ratings while also providing flexible capacity solutions for utilities and data centers. Backed by top investors including Addition, a16z, Lightspeed, and Valor, the company raised a $1 billion Series C in late 2025 at a $4 billion valuation, accelerating domestic manufacturing and deployment to strengthen grid resilience and meet surging electricity demand.
