Base Power
@basepowerco
Texas' only energy provider that comes with backup power.
We’re excited to announce that Base Power has raised $200M in Series B funding, co-led by Addition, @a16z, @lightspeedvp, and Valor, with support from @ThriveCapital, Altimeter, Trust Ventures, and @terraincap. Addition’s Lee Fixel joins our board alongside Antonio Gracias of…
"If Texas can prove you can deploy decentralized batteries and flatten peaks, then every state should do this" ERCOT is the bellwether of power systems.
americans want power that’s reliable, cheap, and clean — in that order. achieving that while keeping up with soaring load growth is a defining US challenge. @davidu, @espricewright and I discuss the past, present, and future of the electric grid ⚡️ open.spotify.com/episode/1sebTn…
"There should be batteries everywhere...this shouldn't be a controversial topic" Couldn't have said it better @espricewright @rmcentush @davidu

Base exists because we can’t wait 10 years for the grid to catch up with demand. We’re building distributed energy to power every neighborhood in America. Thanks to @ThriveCapital for backing the vision and helping tell the story.
Texas just hit 100°—more than a month earlier than usual. As the demand on the grid surges, Base’s battery-backed energy plans are keeping communities powered and costs down.

My conversation @ZachBDell on building Base Power If you are interested in energy, the grid, and how each are changing, this is an awesome overview Even since we recorded, Base is scaling at an impressive clip A company, and entrepreneur, to watch
Grateful for the opportunity to get in the weeds on the grid, energy markets, @basepowerco, and much more with @patrick_oshag

This shift is happening fast. @basepowerco, we’re seeing more and more families skip solar entirely and go battery-first—for resiliency, simplicity, and clear savings. Solar’s still useful, but it’s just part of the equation now.
Not everyone realizes it yet, but the residential solar industry is now the residential battery industry. Solar will just be a low cost add-on to batteries. Resiliency (both home and grid) is the primary driver.
We @basepowerco are excited to announce the 2nd partnership in our growing Base for Utilities business with @GVECsocial
Grateful for members like Carla using @basepowerco to support their community

A new report from the Energy Information Administration projects more battery storage will be added to the grid through 2026 than wind or natural gas—and Texas is at the center of it. As the Texas Comptroller’s office put it: “Battery storage systems have proven their value to…
