Meridian Energy Hub will transform a traditional fuel station into a multi-energy forecourt offering petrol, diesel, EV fast-charging (8 x 150kW stations), hydrogen refuelling, and a convenience store with locally sourced products. The applicant managed the rollout of 35 multi-energy stations across Scandinavia and brings expertise in energy transition forecourt design. Investment of £520,000 covers EV charging infrastructure, hydrogen dispensing pilot, forecourt modernisation, and six months of working capital.

Revenue splits across fuel sales (50%), EV charging (25%), hydrogen (5%), and convenience retail (20%). Year-one revenue is projected at £2,400,000. Meridian will employ 14 full-time staff. The multi-energy forecourt concept with hydrogen refuelling is not available at any of the 8 fuel stations within 5 miles, positioning Meridian as the region's first future-ready energy hub.

Fourteen positions including a site manager, six forecourt attendants, two EV charging technicians, a hydrogen systems specialist, two convenience store staff, a maintenance engineer, and an administrator. Annual payroll of £312,000.

EV charging infrastructure of £280,000 from a UK supplier and installer. Hydrogen dispensing pilot equipment of £85,000. Convenience store fit-out and initial stock of £62,000 with 40% sourced from local producers. The EV charging stations serve an estimated 14,400 charging sessions annually, each displacing approximately 8 litres of fossil fuel. Hydrogen refuelling supports 3 local fleet operators transitioning to zero-emission HGVs. The convenience store creates supply relationships with 12 local food producers. Tax contributions estimated at £52,000 including fuel duty.
