As data center developers seek optimal locations for new facilities, access to reliable and scalable energy sources is a top priority. Traditionally, site selection has been driven by proximity to power infrastructure, fiber networks, and water resources. Now, with the addition of Gas Offtake Locations, developers have another powerful data point to ensure energy resilience and cost efficiency.
Gas Offtake Locations function as the substations of natural gas, serving as key points along pipelines where businesses can access fuel for power generation, backup energy, or heating needs. Just as electrical substations distribute power from transmission lines, these locations allow industrial users, including data centers, to tap into a stable natural gas supply. With the rise of AI workloads, cloud expansion, and increasing energy demands, data centers are seeking redundant and sustainable power solutions. Natural gas presents a cost-effective and cleaner alternative to traditional diesel generators. Gas Offtake Locations ensure access to a stable backup power source, reduce dependency on high-cost fuel options, and provide a scalable energy solution for future expansion. Additionally, natural gas produces lower emissions compared to diesel, helping data centers meet sustainability goals and regulatory requirements.
LandGate already provides industry-leading data on power offtake locations, transmission lines, distribution lines, and parcel information, all of which are critical for data center developers. With the addition of Gas Offtake Locations, developers can now identify sites that offer both power and gas infrastructure for maximum redundancy. They can assess proximity to natural gas pipelines and access points for direct energy sourcing while layering energy, fiber, and water infrastructure data for a more strategic site selection approach. LandGate also delivers comprehensive renewable energy data, covering site control, building, planned, queued, and active projects. Developers can integrate renewable energy solutions by leveraging LandGate’s insights into energy potential, enhancing site selection and sustainability.
Beyond Gas Offtake Locations, LandGate also maps water and sewer lines, essential for cooling systems and wastewater management in data centers. This data, sourced from counties, municipal utilities, state agencies, and private providers, enables developers to evaluate all critical infrastructure in one place, ensuring comprehensive planning and risk mitigation.
By combining Gas Offtake Locations with power, fiber, and renewable energy infrastructure, LandGate empowers data center developers to make informed, data-driven decisions that optimize cost, sustainability, and long-term scalability. The ability to access this comprehensive dataset simplifies the site selection process, reduces uncertainty, and ensures that facilities are built in locations with the necessary infrastructure to support future growth. For data center developers looking to leverage this information, LandGate provides the most complete and actionable dataset available today.
Additionally, LandGate offers feasibility reports for any U.S. parcel, evaluating renewable potential, infrastructure proximity, regulatory constraints, and environmental factors. These reports enable developers to mitigate risks and optimize site selection, ensuring that every decision is backed by reliable, comprehensive data.
