What is grid support?

Updated over a week ago

Your battery does more than backup. It's quietly supporting the Texas grid when power is needed most - helping prevent outages, lowering costs, and giving you access to backup at an affordable price.

When demand surges, your battery acts like a pressure valve. It takes strain off the grid by powering your home and sending energy back when it needs it the most. That keeps the system stable, costs down, and neighborhoods protected.

Even while supporting the grid, your battery keeps you covered. Your charge level may vary while the grid's running - this is totally normal. There's always enough energy to keep you protected through the average outage and we keep an eye on major weather events like hurricanes.

You're part of the solution for your community. By joining Base, your home helps keep neighborhoods powered and the Texas grid resilient. Small actions, shared across thousands of homes, make a big difference when it counts.
