As data center developers pursue optimal locations for new facilities, securing a reliable and scalable power supply is critical. Traditionally, site selection has been driven by proximity to electrical infrastructure, fiber networks, and water access. Now, with detailed information on natural gas pipelines, LandGate adds an essential component to the equation, providing enhanced energy resilience and cost savings.
Natural gas pipelines act as a pivotal resource for backup power generation, heating needs, and mitigating grid constraints. By delivering cleaner-burning fuel compared to diesel, they help data centers meet escalating demand driven by AI, cloud operations, and growing sustainability targets. LandGate supplies in-depth pipeline data, including exact locations, diameters, current status, and operator details, empowering developers to evaluate the feasibility of direct natural gas utilization. A search feature allows quick distance assessments from any parcel, giving developers immediate visibility into the pipeline’s proximity and potential connection points.
LandGate already covers a broad spectrum of infrastructure data—such as power substations, transmission lines, distribution grids, and fiber optic networks—crucial for guaranteeing high availability and low-latency operations for data centers. By integrating natural gas pipeline information into this framework, data center planners can create robust, multi-layered energy strategies that reduce both operational expenses and environmental impact. Water and sewer infrastructure are also mapped, providing additional insight into essential cooling solutions that are critical in large-scale facilities.
Beyond natural gas pipelines, LandGate maintains an extensive collection of renewable energy data, from proposed and active projects to site control considerations, empowering developers to explore wind or solar integration alongside gas. This breadth of information enables data centers to design and implement hybrid approaches that balance cost, resiliency, and environmental objectives. With access to real-time updates on pipeline statuses and other key infrastructure, decision-makers can swiftly adapt to evolving market conditions and energy regulations.
To further streamline planning, LandGate offers feasibility reports for any U.S. parcel, assessing renewable potential, regulatory challenges, and environmental factors. These reports let developers anticipate risks, adhere to sustainability goals, and align budgets with practical timelines. By layering natural gas pipeline intelligence onto a platform that already includes power, fiber, and water data, LandGate equips data center developers with an unmatched perspective on site selection and infrastructure management.
