Base Power

Base Power is an Austin-based energy company founded in 2023, aiming to enhance the reliability and affordability of electricity for Texans. They offer a unique service that combines home battery installation with monthly energy plans. Customers receive a backup battery for just the cost of installation, which provides approximately 24 hours of power during outages with reduced consumption. This setup ensures uninterrupted power and potential savings on monthly electric bills.

Notably, Base Power has partnered with Lennar, a leading homebuilder, to equip select communities in Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth with home backup battery systems. Homeowners in these communities can register for Base’s monthly electricity service and receive a complimentary backup battery, enhancing outage protection and reducing energy costs.

For those interested in Base Power’s services, whole-home backup solutions start at $3,000, with no hidden fees, the company says. Additionally, Base Power integrates with existing solar systems and offers competitive solar buyback rates, though solar installation is not required to benefit from their services.
