Two Key Leadership Moves Positions Fermata Energy to Expand V2X Technology to EV Infrastructure
Fermata Energy was founded to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road, and the transition to renewable energy on the grid. Today the Charlottesville, VA company announced two key leadership changes that position it to Expand vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology to EV infrastructure. Scott Brierley, who as of last week led Nissan's V2X bidirectional charging initiative left and joined Fermata Energy this week as Director of Automotive and Strategic Partnership. Marty Weiner has joined Fermata's Advisory Board. Marty was the founding architect, and engineer of Pinterest and the first Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Reddit. Marty brings with him extensive leadership experience in scaling companies in emerging technologies and new industries.
5G Feeds V2G using energy when you need it from parked EVs
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) proved successful in powering New Lab's 5G Studio, in Brooklyn, using Verizon's 5G network. The results were announced today during a virtual demo day. Fermata Energy installed a bidirectional charger and used their proprietary V2X energy management software to perform V2X activities with a Nissan LEAF using 5G technology. With the charger connected to Newlab's building energy load, their testing compared peak shaving and load balancing operations of the electric grid between 4G and 5G, proving 5G's ability to react to changes in the grid based on real-time data and with very low latency.

Can a Nissan LEAF power a 6-story, 40,000 SF warehouse, built-in 1908? Yes, it can!
Buildings generate nearly 40% of annual global GHG emissions and the City of Denver has a plan to decarbonize commercial buildings in the city.
The Alliance Center, a nonprofit event and collaborative working space in the heart of lower downtown Denver, recognizes the urgency of the climate crisis and announced today that it found a solution to reduce the carbon footprint of its 112-year-old building, using electric vehicles.
The Alliance Center announced a partnership with Fermata Energy, a clean technology company based in Charlottesville, VA, to use the energy stored in an electric vehicle (a Nissan LEAF) and power their six-story, 40,000-square-foot office building originally constructed as a warehouse in 1908 (1536 Wynkoop St, Denver, CO 80202). This new partnership will result in energy cost savings and energy efficiency. (Link to News Release)
KEY FACTS:
The Alliance Center is a model for innovative green building practices, collaborative working techniques, and engaging educational programming—all designed to scale up the sustainability movement.
Fermata Energy’s V2G System has already proven to save building owners money, and with cities and counties struggling to not only secure additional funding amidst the pandemic but also on how to meet net-zero emission goals, this system will save The Alliance Center money and help the nonprofit reevaluate its energy use more efficiently.
Last month, The City of Boulder announced that it is working with Fermata Energy to test the ability to use an electric vehicle to dispatch power directly to one of its recreation centers. Fermata also recently announced new partnerships with Roanoke Electric Cooperative, Green Mountain Power, and Bigelow Tea.
