For data center developers, site selectors, operators, and investors, one constraint sits above all others: power. A site can have ideal land, connectivity, and incentives, but if it cannot secure large, reliable power quickly and connect to the grid without prohibitive upgrades, it is not a data center site. Around that central question sit the others that decide a project: fiber and interconnection, real estate and lease economics, tax incentives, backup and resilience, and

For solar developers, investors, and asset managers, confirming that a site has strong sun and clean, buildable land is only the starting point. The harder physical question is how the project will actually perform: exactly how much electricity it will generate, when that generation lands across the hours of a day and the seasons of a year, and how steadily that output will decline as the equipment ages. Those questions sit at the heart of LandGate's Solar 8760 & Long Term Ge

For battery storage developers, investors, and asset managers, the questions that decide a project are different from those that decide a solar farm. A battery does not generate energy; it earns by moving energy through time, charging when prices are low and discharging when they are high, and by providing capacity and grid services. That makes storage economics a function of two things above all: whether the site can actually connect to the grid, and whether the local market

For solar developers, investors, and asset managers, confirming that a site has strong irradiance and clean land characteristics is only the beginning. The harder question is whether the project will actually pencil out: what it costs to build, what it earns across decades of operation, and what all of that is worth in today’s dollars. That question sits at the heart of LandGate’s Solar Economic Report, which models the full economic profile of a solar asset or portfolio, fro

The Federal Reserve has already introduced energy commodity shocks as explicit variables in the stress testing framework for the largest US banks. The trajectory of scenario design (expanding variable scope, adding new guides, and building institutional capacity through the 2023 pilot Climate Scenario Analysis) points in one direction. Energy cost sensitivity for energy-intensive asset classes is not a future regulatory concept. It is a present supervisory concern in the proc

For energy and data center developers, finding a site with strong land characteristics and clean environmental conditions is only part of the equation. The other part is understanding whether the grid can actually absorb the power a project will generate, and at what cost. That question sits at the heart of LandGate's Offtake Report, which analyzes interconnection feasibility at a specific point of interconnection (POI) before a developer commits to the formal and expensive u

Environmental risk is one of the most common sources of project delay in energy and data center development. Federally protected species, wetlands, contaminated land, and soil conditions can each add months or years to a permitting timeline, and identifying them late in the process is expensive. LandGate's Environmental Report consolidates these risk factors into a single, structured document that developers can use to screen sites and prioritize further investigation before

Energy developers and institutional investors rarely evaluate a single parcel in isolation. More often, the question is how a collection of parcels performs as a portfolio: which assets carry the most value, which are worth prioritizing for development, and which energy use cases are the best fit for each piece of land. LandGate's Asset Report data is built for exactly that kind of multi-parcel analysis, delivering parcel-by-parcel valuations across land, solar, wind, and car

When evaluating land for a utility-scale solar project, a battery storage facility, or a data center campus, the due diligence process can be slow, expensive, and fragmented. LandGate's Property Report consolidates the critical signals (land value, topography, solar resource, and electrical infrastructure) into a single document that lets developers quickly screen sites before committing to deeper feasibility work. This post walks through each section of a LandGate Property R

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

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 U.S. data center sector continued its rapid expansion in Q3 2025, driven by the explosive growth of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, 5G, and digital services. Total energy consumption reached an estimated 250 terawatt-hours, roughly 11% of national electricity usage. With a 9GW in planned projects seen over this quarter in Northern Virginia alone, data center development is expected to exceed 30GW by the end of the decade. Despite unprecedented construction

The global data center industry is undergoing a massive transformation, driven primarily by the explosive growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI), creating urgent demands for revolutionary power solutions and infrastructure. Recent major industry developments underscore this shift: Brookfield Asset Management is investing up to $5 billion to deploy Bloom Energy's on-site fuel cells, providing a rapidly deployable, behind-the-meter alternative to the aging grid. This move, alon

While overall data center numbers are comparatively lower than most major states, Wyoming has well established itself as a prominent data center hub, especially over the last five years. What started off as a single company’s presence has now increased multifold with massive investments for several mega-campuses and power trajectories surpassing 1000 MW.
