Fermata Energy's entry, "Empowerment through Mobility and
Sustainability," showcases their pioneering Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)
project at Girls Latin Apartments in Dorchester, Massachusetts.
This first-in-nation pilot provides residents of an affordable
housing complex access to electric vehicles (EVs) that also
function as a power source for the building and energy grid when
parked. The project uses bidirectional charging technology to help
offset energy costs, making sustainable technology accessible and
beneficial to all, especially in underserved communities.
"It is an honor to stand among other innovators who are driving
significant change in their industries," said Tony Posawatz, CEO of
Fermata Energy. "We congratulate all the winners and honorees for
their transformative efforts."
The collaboration at Girls Latin Apartment addresses the
pressing issues of environmental justice and urban sustainability.
It also demonstrates the practical application of integrating clean
transportation into low-income communities. This initiative offers
a scalable, replicable model that could transform urban areas
nationwide.
“In partnership with BlueHub Energy, BlueHub Capital, Enterprise
Holdings, and the Codman Square Neighborhood Development Corp., we
have implemented a solution that bridges the gap between green
technology and affordable access to electric vehicles.” Posawatz
shared.
The V2G program at Girls Latin Apartments is already showing a
significant impact by enhancing access to clean transportation and
promoting energy independence. This project aligns with Fast
Company's vision by offering innovative, impactful, and scalable
solutions to some of the most critical challenges of our time.
"Fermata Energy is dedicated to pushing forward sustainable and
equitable clean energy solutions. We are excited about the future
as we continue to expand the reach and impact of our projects,"
concluded Posawatz.
