# Zach Dell’s Base Power hits $13 billion, expands battery network 2026-08-07T15:47:24+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Zach Dell, son of Dell Technologies founder Michael Dell, has raised $1 billion in Series D funding for his home battery startup Base Power, valuing it at $13 billion. The company has installed over 23,000 batteries across Texas and Illinois, serving more than 30,000 customers. Base Power charges a low upfront fee (up to $695) and a monthly membership of $19, owning and operating the batteries to sell power back to the grid during peak demand. The three-year-old company now does 100 installations daily and plans to double that by year-end. It has also opened its first battery factory in Austin, with a larger one due by 2027. Base Power aims to enter more US states and eventually markets like the UK, Germany, and Australia. The funding round was co-led by Ribbit Capital, Addition, Valor Equity Partners, and JPMorgan Chase's Strategic Investment Group. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Base Power, energy storage, home batteries, Series D funding, US expansion, Zach Dell Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/base-power-raises-1-billion-targets-every-us-neighbourhood/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
