Base is America’s next-generation power company. We’re rebuilding the foundation of modern civilization–electricity–by deploying a vast network of distributed batteries that is transforming today’s fragile, centralized grid into a resilient and abundant system. We are engineers, operators, and creatives solving some of the most complex, interdisciplinary challenges of our time.

Base is scaling from hundreds to thousands—and soon hundreds of thousands—of battery deployments across the country. As our footprint grows, so does the complexity of the materials ecosystem surrounding each installation.
