Base Power (Base Texas REP, LLC, PUCT License #10338) is an Austin, Texas home energy company that pairs an installed home battery (40–80 kWh) with retail electricity service across Texas and Illinois. The battery powers a home automatically during outages with no manual switch and helps lower the energy bill: batteries charge when grid demand is low and send power back to the grid when demand is high (grid-balancing), and that grid revenue helps keep member energy rates low. Base can be the retail electricity provider with or without a battery, works with existing solar, and serves the Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, TNMP, CoServ, GVEC, Farmers Electric, and El Paso Electric areas in Texas plus ComEd in Illinois. Led by CEO Zach Dell and co-founder Justin Lopas; named to the TIME100 Most Influential Companies (2026); backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Addition, Bond Capital, Ribbit Capital, and Spark Capital. This profile was enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline; Base publishes no public developer API.
