• Seamless  and consistent energy. User-friendly “plug and play” configured for low maintenance and serviced by BASEPOWER.  You never even open the unit.
• Urban-quality power at your remote rural site.
• Environment. You use your renewable resources to generate your power, whilst no overhead lines results in less visual impact on the landscape.

Cost Effective Options:

• Off-grid customers; eliminate your electricity retailer bill using your free renewables first for the energy you need and paying only for the diesel you use.
• Pre-1993 lines customers qualifying for Powerco’s BASEPOWER conversion option; pay us only the simple monthly fee for alternate supply in addition to your diesel costs.  Your power needs will influence what you save.
• New customers; pay for the equipment and service that meets your needs.. Your options include:
  • energy storage and management;
  • renewables plus storage; or
  • renewables, storage and the gen-set specific to your power quality needs

  • a service package ,if required.
• Lines companies; BASEPOWER is a new choice for your consumers where costly and vulnerable remote lines need replacing, or significant upgrade.  BasePower can be deployed more cost effectively than new line builds and offer greater flexibility for the future. 

BASEPOWER components may also be used to supplement grid power, for instance providing energy storage to manage peak load needs.
