LandGate is the leading data platform for U.S. energy, data center, and infrastructure site selection and valuation. Built to solve one of the most complex challenges in the energy transition- finding viable, financeable sites- LandGate delivers end-to-end data solutions for the nation’s top data center, energy, and infrastructure developers. The platform supports site selection, origination, development, financing, and market analysis across data centers, energy storage, EV infrastructure, solar, wind, carbon, natural gas, and carbon capture and storage (CCS).
In the wake of the AI boom, the demand for energy-intensive data centers has outpaced electrical grid capacity. LandGate addresses this critical bottleneck by offering the only nationwide offtake capacity dataset available, enabling developers to identify where power is actually available for data center and large-scale industrial projects. This capability fundamentally changes how developers assess feasibility and reduces costly dead-ends early in the process. By consolidating thousands of data layers into a single map-based interface, LandGate provides the speed and certainty required to deploy capital with precision, ensuring the next generation of U.S. energy infrastructure is built efficiently and responsibly.
Beyond data centers, LandGate’s PowerTools platform is trusted by the nation’s top clean energy developers across solar, wind, and energy storage projects. PowerTools provides advanced electrical infrastructure data, energy market insights, and environmental due diligence layers to assess constraints, risks, and opportunities in one unified system. By integrating technical, environmental, and market data, LandGate eliminates silos and enables faster, more confident decision-making that dramatically accelerates project timelines. Through innovation, scale, and unmatched data coverage, LandGate is powering the future of energy and infrastructure development.
