Behind-the-meter hydrogen power in California.

Meridian Pi develops modular behind-the-meter hydrogen power systems for AI compute facilities, critical infrastructure, and industrial campuses in California. If you have an offtake commitment, we have the rest -- site to energization.

California Market Context

Why behind-the-meter power matters in California.

California has the highest commercial electricity rates in the continental United States, the strongest clean energy incentives, and one of the largest concentrations of AI compute and data center infrastructure in the world. The state's interconnection queue is among the most constrained in the country.

California's IRA bonus credits for energy communities and domestic content, combined with the state's own clean energy incentives, create a uniquely favorable financing environment for behind-the-meter hydrogen projects. Meridian Pi structures the full federal and state credit stack on California projects.

1-24 MW Modular Units

Stackable capacity that scales with your deployment. Initial energization targeted in under six months on qualified sites.

No Grid Required

Atmospheric hydrogen generation, fuel cell dispatch, and 30+ days of autonomous endurance. No interconnection queue.

Gigabit Fiber Included

1-100 Gbps dedicated high-speed fiber delivered alongside power as a single integrated deployment.

Full IRA Credit Stack

§45V, §48E, §48C, §45Q, and §6418 transferable credits structured into project financing on every eligible project.

EPC In-House

Meridian Pi handles site qualification, engineering, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning, and O&M.

Bring Your Load

One offtake commitment from you. We handle everything else. Site, finance, build, operate.

Markets We Serve in California

Who we work with.

AI
AI & High-Density Compute

Silicon Valley and Southern California data centers face severe grid capacity constraints and among the highest electricity rates in the nation. BTM hydrogen delivers cost certainty and power independence.

GOV
Government & Public Facilities

California state agencies and public facilities have aggressive clean energy mandates. Hydrogen-first BTM power delivers on net-zero requirements with verified carbon credentials.

MFG
Industrial & Manufacturing

California manufacturers face the highest demand charges in the country. On-site hydrogen generation eliminates that exposure and qualifies for significant state and federal incentives.

REM
Remote & Coastal Sites

Coastal humidity makes California an ideal environment for atmospheric hydrogen generation. Remote coastal and inland sites where grid extension is impractical are prime candidates.

Project Financing

IRA tax credits available on California projects.

Meridian Pi structures the full stack of available IRA tax credits on qualifying California projects. Credits are transferable under §6418 for direct cash value without a traditional tax equity structure.

Transferable Credits

Credit availability and amounts depend on project-specific facts, system configuration, and IRS guidance. Coordinate qualified tax counsel before relying on specific figures.
