Base Power Enters PJM Grid

Base Power just dropped its big home battery systems in Illinois — a bold move into PJM territory, the nation’s largest grid operator, which is drowning in demand from exploding data centers. With electricity prices nearly doubling and utilities like AEP considering exit, Base Power’s virtual power plant model — selling stored energy, not hardware — slashes costs by 25% compared to ComEd. Already managing 500+ megawatt-hours in Texas, they’re bypassing PJM’s grid bottlenecks by installing directly in homes, getting online faster than traditional projects as the grid frays under pressure.
