Bidirectional charging allows consumers to discharge their EV batteries to provide back-up power for their homes during blackouts or earn money from their utility. EV batteries have much more capacity than many at-home energy storage units.

With real-time information on your building's electricity usage, Fermata Energy empowers facility managers to use EVs and bidirectional charging to meet electrification goals, while avoiding peak demand charges and saving money on the company’s electricity bill.

How Fermata Energy can help your organization

Fermata Energy platform can turn your EVs into a powerful revenue stream that can lower your electricity bill, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and fuel costs, by selling power back to the grid.

The nation’s leader in vehicle-to-building (V2B) systems, Fermata Energy empowers EV fleet owners and operators to leverage their fleet to save money on fleet operating costs, manage climate-related risk, and improve facility energy resilience and efficiency.

Jack Pfeiffer is a Data Scientist focused on optimizing the economics of energy storage operations. Jack led the algorithm development at Geli (was acquired by Hanwha in 2020), where he and his team developed algorithms to support various objectives including Demand Charge Management, Energy Arbitrage, Demand Response, and Frequency Regulation. 

The primary barrier to realizing savings from energy storage is uncertainty in electricity consumption, generation and prices, and Jack has focused on developing  software that accounts for and hedges against these various uncertainties. Prior to working in climate tech, Jack worked in development economics managing randomized control trials to study the impacts of policy interventions.

Scott Brierley has worked in both the automotive/electric vehicle (EV) and aerospace industries for over 20 years in a variety of roles.

His EV career began with launching and commercializing the General Motors EV1, “the world’s first mass-produced electric vehicle,” in Southern California. Later, Scott worked with other GM EV programs, including the Equinox fuel cell as part of GM’s “Project Driveway” tech demo program, the Chevrolet Volt, and the EN‑V (Electric-Networked Vehicle) autonomous concept.

Most recently, Scott led Nissan’s Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) bidirectional charging initiative in North America. A key milestone was reached during this time with the establishment of a joint Vehicle-to-Building (V2B) pilot program with Fermata Energy at Nissan’s headquarters in Franklin, Tennessee. Leveraging energy stored in the Nissan LEAF, Fermata Energy’s V2B technology helps power Nissan’s headquarters building during peak‑load times, which can reduce costly demand charges.
