Base partners with electric cooperatives like Central Georgia EMC (CGEMC) to offer members automatic home backup at an affordable price.

Here’s how it works. When the electric grid is up, your Base Core battery adds power to the grid during high-demand hours, helping lower overall costs for your cooperative. When the grid goes down, it backs up your home automatically.

Because the batteries support the grid, CGEMC members pay a one-time $95 fee for one battery or $150 for two.

A single Base Core battery stores 39.2 kilowatt-hours of energy. That is enough for up to 36 hours of backup per battery with reduced energy use.

For longer outages, plug a portable generator into the battery's generator recharge port to keep your backup going for as long as you have fuel. If you have solar panels, they can also recharge the battery during the outage.

CGEMC members pay a one-time fee. There are no monthly fees.

One Core battery: $95 total

$50 deposit when you sign up. It counts toward your $95 and is refundable until Base starts paperwork approval.
$45 within 48 hours after your battery is installed.

Two Core batteries: $150 total

$50 deposit when you sign up. It counts toward your $150 and is refundable until Base starts paperwork approval.
$100 within 48 hours after your battery is installed.

Base covers all battery maintenance. If you cancel after installation, a $500 deinstallation fee applies.

No. CGEMC is still your energy provider, and you'll keep getting your monthly bill from them just like today.

Your meter still measures only the energy your home uses. The battery connects on CGEMC's side of the meter (called front of the meter), so its charging and discharging will not show up on your energy bill. You will only be charged for energy used to power your home.

Before install: Contact Base support as soon as you can at support@basepowercompany.com. Your $50 deposit is refundable if you cancel before Base starts paperwork approval.

After installation: You can cancel during the 12-year agreement for a $500 deinstallation fee.

If you sell your home: You can transfer the battery and your agreement to the new homeowner at no cost. Contact Base support to start the transfer, and we’ll coordinate with the new homeowner. You cannot take Base with you when you move, but you can sign-up if you live in an area served by Base
