NASEO - National Association of State Energy Officials

NASEO is the only national non-profit association for the governor-designated energy officials from each state and territory. Formed by the states in 1986, NASEO facilitates peer learning among state energy officials, serves as a resource for and about state energy offices, and advocates the interests of the state energy offices to Congress and federal agencies. The State and Territory Energy Offices (SEOs) were formed in response to the energy crisis of the early 1970s. SEOs are important agents of change that: - Advance practical energy policies and support energy technology research, demonstration, and deployment. - Partner with the private sector to accelerate energy-related economic development and enhance environmental quality. - Focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy programs, transportation fuel diversity, and traditional fuel development. - Allocate or oversee more than $7 billion of funds derived from ratepayers and state appropriations annually. - Aid in emergency response and mitigation related to energy infrastructure, liquid fuels, and cyber security.

Fermata Energy

Fermata Energy was created for the dual purposes of accelerating the adoption of EVs and accelerating the transition to a renewable energy future. Founded in 2010, Fermata Energy is the nation’s leader in proven V2X systems. We design, supply, and operate pioneering, patented technology that integrates electric vehicles (EVs) with buildings and the electricity grid, turning EVs into valuable storage assets that combat climate change, increase energy resilience, and reduce energy costs. In order for the world to transition to a clean energy economy, abundant energy storage must be deployed quickly and at scale. Fermata Energy’s next-generation bidirectional EV charger and accompanying proprietary software dispatch power from stored energy in EV batteries directly back into the grid or a building, turning EVs into energy storage resources, and — in the process — unlocking and monetizing the massive energy storage potential of EVs. Fermata Energy enables utilities to add more renewable energy to the grid more quickly, and V2G revenue makes clean electric vehicles more cost-effective. Fermata Energy thus offers a solution to two major challenges we face today: the integration of clean, renewable energy and the adoption of clean transportation.
