Fermata, LLC, operating as Fermata Energy, is an energy technology company headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia. Founded in 2010, Fermata specializes in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, utilizing the battery capacity of parked electric vehicles to enhance energy storage for the electricity grid.

This innovative approach capitalizes on the fact that electric vehicles are often idle, turning them into underutilized resources with minimal additional cost. Fermata's solutions not only support the transition to renewable energy but also offer vehicle owners a potential reduction in ownership costs through shared grid storage revenue. The company's technology is designed to facilitate the adoption of electric vehicles while aiding utilities and grid operators in addressing climate change, improving resilience, and reducing energy costs.
