In its first regulated utility partnership, Base Power teams with Bandera Electric Cooperative to deploy advanced home battery technology that supports the grid

AUSTIN, Texas, March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Base Power, a fast-growing distributed energy company, has partnered with Bandera Electric Cooperative (Bandera Electric, BEC, or the cooperative), a member-owned Texas cooperative, to support BEC’s innovative home battery program. Through this partnership, BEC will provide homeowners with affordable whole-home battery backup systems from Base, equipping the cooperative with a network of distributed energy storage systems that it can operate in real-time. This allows Bandera Electric to optimize grid performance, enhance resiliency, and deliver meaningful economic benefits to its members.

Base will be a technology provider for BEC’s Battery Storage Subscription Program which offers members batteries with no upfront cost for a low monthly fee. In turn, BEC gains access to localized energy storage through Base’s batteries, enabling it to aggregate and operate the batteries to enhance grid and market operations through Apolloware, its real time, energy management platform.

“This partnership with BEC is a major milestone—not just for Base, but for co-ops and municipal utilities across Texas,” said Zach Dell, CEO of Base Power. “BEC has long been a leader in distributed energy, and by teaming up with Base, they’re proving that utilities don’t have to wait years for storage capacity. We’re deploying at a speed never seen before in Texas, helping bring affordable, reliable energy to more communities.”

BEC, a trailblazer in distributed energy, is reimagining grid operations in Texas while setting a model for the broader energy community. Its collaboration with Base Power marks another significant step toward a future-ready, resilient system for its members.

“We are always looking for innovative ways to provide our members with greater energy resilience and cost savings,” said Bill Hetherington, CEO of Bandera Electric Cooperative. “This partnership brings cutting-edge battery storage solutions to our community without the burden of upfront costs—a game-changer for members who want reliable backup power with or without solar, while also strengthening the grid for everyone.”

This partnership follows Base’s Houston expansion and its collaboration with Lennar, one of the nation’s largest homebuilders, highlighting the company’s continued growth as the leading battery-powered energy provider.

The program is already available to BEC members. Solar is not required, but Base’s system can integrate with existing solar. Interested Bandera Electric Cooperative members can learn more and sign up for the program on BEC’s website.
