FlexGrid architecture combines SVP on-grid electricity with natural gas and hydrogen fuel cells behind the meter, bypassing SVP grid interconnection queue constraints. Sub-1.15 PUE target. Rack densities 75-270kW for AI high-density compute.

When hydrogen fuel cells are used, by-product water from hydrogen generation supplies the cooling loop, eliminating freshwater draw — significant for drought-prone California.
