VC Renewables acquires 600MW Data Center Campus in South Carolina from Meridian Gridworks

The transaction reinforces Vitol’s broader strategy to promote U.S. energy security, expand its natural gas footprint along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, and grow natural gas transportation, energy storage, and fuel cell capacity in South Carolina.

Meridian will continue to oversee development of the South Carolina campus, while Vitol and VCR draw on their combined expertise across solar, energy storage, and natural gas to help build out the site as a combined hub for energy and digital infrastructure. Meridian Gridworks is a data center, edge compute, and renewable energy development firm founded in 2025.

Andrew De Pass, Head of Energy Transition Investments at Vitol Inc., said: “The rapid growth of digital infrastructure is creating significant demand for reliable, flexible and increasingly sustainable power. We look forward to working with the Meridian team to develop a resilient, integrated energy solution for the South Carolina campus.”
