We present recalibrations of the GALFORM semi-analytical model of galaxy formation in a new N-body simulation with the Planck cosmology. The Planck Millennium simulation uses more than 128 billion particles to resolve the matter distribution in a cube of 800 Mpc on a side, which contains more than 77 million dark matter haloes with mass greater than 2.12 x 10(9) h(-1) M-circle dot at this day. Only minor changes to a very small number of model parameters are required in the recalibration. We present predictions for the atomic hydrogen content (H I) of dark matter haloes, which is a key input into the calculation of the H I intensity mapping signal expected from the large-scale structure of the Universe. We find that the H I mass-halo mass relation displays a clear break at the halo mass above which AGN heating suppresses gas cooling, approximate to 3 x 10(11)h(-1) M-circle dot. Below this halo mass, the H I content of haloes is dominated by the central galaxy; above this mass it is the combined H I content of satellites that prevails. We find that the H I mass-halo mass relation changes little with redshift up to z = 3. The bias of H I sources shows a scale dependence that gets more pronounced with increasing redshift.
