Base Power is expanding its residential battery program with Denton County Electric Cooperative (CoServ) to 450 MW in North Texas, creating a large distributed-storage fleet that combines backup power for participating homes with utility demand management.
The program has been operating since March, and Base Power has installed 75 MW of batteries in CoServ members’ homes. The company reports a deployment pace of approximately 10 MW per month. Each installed battery is configured to supply the entire home during an outage, while also participating in a fleet that CoServ can dispatch during periods of peak demand.
A shared operating model
The arrangement separates installation and maintenance from utility operation. Base Power installs and maintains the batteries, while CoServ determines when the fleet is charged and discharged. That structure makes the residential systems part of the cooperative’s broader electricity-management resources rather than standalone backup equipment operated only by individual homeowners.
For integrators and energy contractors, the program illustrates a deployment model in which residential storage serves two defined functions: keeping a home powered during an outage and providing dispatchable capacity to the local electric provider. The reported 450-MW scale also places the work beyond a single-home installation program, with equipment deployed across a utility service area and coordinated through the cooperative.

CoServ’s service territory and next partnership
CoServ is described as the third-largest electric cooperative in the United States, serving more than 300,000 members across a fast-growing area that includes Denton and Collin counties and surrounding counties. The cooperative’s participation gives the battery fleet a direct connection to a utility serving a substantial residential membership base.
Base Power has also signed its first utility partnership outside Texas. The agreement with Central Georgia Electric Membership Corporation covers 50 MW of residential battery storage. The Georgia agreement extends the company’s utility-partnership activity beyond the CoServ program, although the announcement provides no further deployment schedule for that project.
- Base Power has installed 75 MW for CoServ members since March.
- The North Texas program is planned to expand to 450 MW.
- CoServ dispatches the batteries for peak demand while Base Power handles installation and maintenance.
