Learn How Base Works | Base Power
With Base, you pay just a one-time installation cost that pays the team of electricians to install the battery on your home. Base offers fair, fixed rates and reliable backup power.
The Base Services Charge will be approximately $24 per month for master-metered customers and covers essential costs to maintain the infrastructure which keeps the property connected to the electric grid.
Some providers add a fixed monthly fee called a base charge or customer charge. This fee covers the cost of being connected to the grid and other fixed expenses. Not all providers charge this, but it can add significantly to your monthly bill. It's called a “base charge,” but don't worry, it's not from Base Power (we promise).
Understanding the role of base charges in your overall electricity costs is crucial for effective budget management. Consider this scenario: if your base charge is $20 and your usage charges amount to $30, the total comes to $50. This means that the base charge accounts for a significant 40% of the total bill.
The new law (Assembly Bill 205) requires costs to be separated into a Base Services Charge to cover the cost of certain electrical equipment and services, and variable electricity delivery charges based on the electricity the customer uses during their billing period.
