LandGate Resources

The Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) market is experiencing significant growth. LandGate has launched its Battery Storage Analysis tool, which is designed to provide automated, engineering-grade Battery Storage Due Diligence Reports instantly.

The third week of February 2026 underscores a sharpening regulatory "sword" as states and small towns alike move from observation to intervention. We are seeing a shift from simple disclosure requirements to mandatory operational standards for large-load facilities. For developers, the trend is one of "compulsory sustainability." Voluntary ESG goals are being codified into law, with strict mandates on renewable matching and water usage that could fundamentally alter the econo

The future of infrastructure is being built by developers who can query the grid as easily as they query a search engine. By unifying proprietary data with natural language access and secure architecture, LandGate provides the high-fidelity intelligence layer required for precise capital deployment.

The buildout of 5G infrastructure is fundamentally reshaping the data center landscape. For data center developers, understanding this evolution isn't just about keeping pace- it's about identifying the next wave of strategic opportunities.

The second week of February 2026 highlights a strategic shift toward "campus-utility integration." We are seeing developers move beyond simply leasing space to forming deep, multi-gigawatt partnerships with power generators to ensure long-term viability. For developers, the trend is shifting from "site acquisition" to "energy infrastructure acquisition." As local municipalities in markets like Ohio increase legal pressure on backup power solutions, the ability to secure massi

The first week of February 2026 reinforces a deepening divide in the data center landscape. We are witnessing a "tug-of-war" between monumental capital raises for hyperscale capacity and a localized "emergency brake" on new developments. For developers, the message is clear: while the financial appetite for AI infrastructure remains insatiable, the path to execution is increasingly blocked by community pushback and regulatory pauses. Success in this quarter will require a sop

Data centers, the digital backbone of AI growth and development, have seen a tremendous increase in power, demand, and growth over the last year. Data centers accounted for about 2.5% of U.S. electricity use in 2015 and now consume roughly 6%, a share that is rising rapidly as AI adoption expands. By 2030, data centers are projected to draw nearly 9% of national power, with AI workloads consuming up to 40% of that total. Behind the renderings and vision decks, however, lies a

Data center development over the last year has reshaped real estate, energy infrastructure, power markets, and the way we see the world completely. Hyperscaling, project capacity increases, and a surge in AI demands have had a large impact on the US and global economy.  US CAGR rates skyrocketed from 10% in 2025 to estimates surpassing 12% in 2030, signaling major market shifts. Data center development is set to exceed 400TWhrs of energy consumption and over 8% of total natio

The AI boom is pushing data center development into overdrive, but the biggest constraint isn’t land availability- it’s power. For hyperscalers and developers alike, securing sufficient interconnection capacity has become the longest, most expensive, and most uncertain part of the development timeline.

As AI workloads explode, hyperscalers scale faster than transmission infrastructure, and interconnection queues stretch into the next decade, one factor is quietly becoming a make‑or‑break competitive advantage: Proximity to generation.

The final week of January 2026 marks a pivotal shift in the sector. We are seeing a "tug-of-war" between unprecedented capital injections from the hardware sector and a hardening of local regulatory stances. For developers, the message is clear: the technical requirements for AI are scaling faster than the physical and social infrastructure can currently support. Success in the coming quarters will likely depend on "behind-the-meter" power strategies and navigating a more lit

Data centers and fiber optic networks are tightly intertwined, and together they’re what make hyperscale data centers possible. However, not all fiber is created equal.

The third week of January 2026 is defined by a systemic effort to stabilize the relationship between massive data center growth and the aging North American power grid. As regional transmission organizations implement emergency procurement measures, developers are countering with unprecedented "super-site" proposals and sophisticated holding-company financing to bypass traditional capital constraints. PJM Board Initiates "Reliability Backstop" to Secure Power In a major move

The U.S. power sector is experiencing a growing disconnect between projected electricity demand and the generation capacity  expected to meet it. While significant new power projects continue to be announced and proposed, a meaningful share is ultimately canceled before reaching construction or operation. In 2025 alone, approximately 1,800 power projects were canceled, a scale highlighted by late-year federal actions that suspended five major developments, including Vineyard

The second week of 2026 highlights an industry-wide pivot toward nuclear energy integration and the massive capital requirements needed to sustain the AI infrastructure boom. As developers face increasing local resistance through new moratoriums, the focus has intensified on securing long-term power autonomy and creative financing solutions to keep next-generation projects on track. Meta Unveils 6.6GW Nuclear Power Strategy Meta has announced a major shift in its energy procu

n a market where 9 months can make or break a deal, having the data to prove "power-on-site" is your greatest competitive advantage. This is where the Powered Shell becomes the developer’s most strategic asset.

Electricity generation in the United States surpassed 4,260 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2025, and demand is projected to grow by about 25% over the next five years. The nation’s electricity comes from a mix of fossil fuels (such as coal and natural gas), nuclear power, and renewable energy sources like wind and solar.

The first week of 2026 underscores a market transitioning from rapid construction to strategic operational scaling and heightened regulatory scrutiny. As the industry moves further into the new year, the focus has shifted toward securing massive, independent power solutions to bypass grid constraints and addressing local legislative resistance to large-scale developments. Vantage and Liberty Energy Partner for 1GW Power Solution Vantage Data Centers has entered a strategic pa

The additional real estate market of Energy, Infrastructure, and Data Centers is estimated at $13.095 trillion market asset value as of Feb 2025, and is estimated to grow to $19 trillion in 2030, and $27 trillion in 2035. This market is now entirely part of real estate, in what we refer to as “New Real Estate”.

In the modern landscape of infrastructure development, one thing is becoming crystal clear: Site selection is now grid selection.
