Base Power, a Texas-based startup specializing in large home batteries, has secured $200 million in funding to accelerate its growth. The Series B funding round was co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and included participation from several other venture capital firms. The investment will support Base Power's expansion in Texas, the establishment of a domestic battery manufacturing facility, and efforts to enter new state markets. The company's model allows homeowners to install batteries for backup power during outages while purchasing energy from Base Power, which can then utilize these batteries in Texas' competitive energy market.

Despite the challenges faced by American companies in the distributed energy sector, Base Power has demonstrated rapid customer adoption and consistent execution, attracting significant investment. The startup aims to install a substantial number of home battery systems, with plans to manufacture its products domestically to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains. Additionally, Base Power is exploring partnerships with utilities in states with different regulatory environments to expand its reach and offer backup power solutions without upfront costs to customers.
