In this exclusive interview, we go deep inside Base Power, the Texas startup redefining home energy with smart batteries and a bold vision for the future of the grid. From a behind-the-scenes tour of their high-tech lab to a demo of how their battery systems actually work, co-founders Justin Lopas and Zach Dell break down how Base is building for reliability, affordability, and grid-wide impact. We cover everything — from Texas energy politics to the coming grid bottleneck, why Base is winning over homeowners, and how their $200M raise is fueling expansion across the state. We even visit a Texas homeowner to get a look at his Base unit and ask him a few questions about what he really thinks of it. If you care about the future of energy in America, this is an interview you don’t want to miss.
