Texas Retail Provider and NOIE Partner on Utility-Operated Distributed Battery Program
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
Base Power and GVEC announced a partnership to deploy a utility-managed fleet of residential batteries, starting in communities built by Lennar.
The battery systems will be operated directly by GVEC using Base Power’s proprietary software platform. The agreement builds on Base’s ongoing collaboration with Lennar.
GVEC will dispatch the battery fleet using Base’s software platform to lower transmission and energy costs for GVEC members. Participating homeowners will receive whole-home backup and access to the Base app for insight into their system’s activity and backup performance.
GVEC and Base will pursue qualification of the battery fleet for participation in ERCOT’s Aggregated Distributed Energy Resource (ADER) pilot program.
"Today is an exciting milestone for Base as we expand our work with utilities across Texas," said Zach Dell, CEO of Base Power. "Our model enables the rapid deployment of cost-effective distributed storage that is fully dispatchable for our utility partners."
The pilot began deployment in June 2025.
GVEC serves more than 100,000 members across a 3,200-square-mile region in South Central Texas.
Base earlier this year announced that Bandera Electric Cooperative would offer homeowners whole-home battery backup systems from Base
