#Grid Infrastructure

Base Power raises another $1B to save the grid using backyard batteries

Base Power has secured $1B in Series D funding to scale its distributed residential battery storage model, which now stores over 500 megawatt-hours and installs 100+ batteries daily—directly addressing critical grid strain from AI data center expansion and electrification demand. The subscription-based model (rather than large upfront capital costs) combined with utility partnerships positions distributed energy resources as a strategic infrastructure solution that reduces grid dependency and creates new revenue streams from demand-response services. IT leaders should recognize that grid reliability is becoming a foundational dependency for data center operations and enterprise digital infrastructure, making energy resilience partnerships and distributed power architecture increasingly relevant to enterprise continuity planning.
