HOUSTON LIFE


Meet the power company protecting the people who protect us ⚡️ 🏡 🔋

When severe weather knocks out the power, first responders are the ones rushing to help the rest of us. But who’s making sure their families are safe at home? Enter Base Power - a Texas-born tech startup shaking up the energy industry. Founded by Zach Dell, son of tech icon Michael Dell, the company is building a smarter, safer future for Texans through battery-backed energy plans that automatically keep homes running when the grid goes down - and help lower energy bills when it’s up. Base Power isn’t just for first responders, but they’re making it a point to support those who serve with a new First Responder Program, which donates battery systems to frontline families across Texas. The very first recipients? John and Lindsey Nanninga, a Cypress firefighter and paramedic raising three kids. After years of storm-season stress - including living out of a camper during outages - the Nanningas finally have peace of mind with a system that keeps their home powered, no gas or generators required. Because if it’s good enough for first responders, it’s good enough for everyone. 👉 Learn more at basepowercompany.com or call (512) 518-1009 📧 First responders can apply at firstresponders@basepowercompany.com
