LandGate, a provider of data intelligence solutions for the energy and real estate sectors, has introduced a new Battery Storage Analysis tool aimed at simplifying and accelerating site selection for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects. The company said the platform delivers automated, engineering-grade due diligence reports within seconds, reducing timelines that previously took weeks.
The BESS market is growing rapidly, supported by grid modernisation, rising data centre demand, and broader renewable energy integration. Traditionally, developers have relied on fragmented datasets and multiple consultants to conduct interconnection studies, environmental reviews, and arbitrage forecasts. LandGate stated that its new tool integrates these processes into a single platform.
Addressing the BESS Site Selection Data Gap
According to the company, successful BESS deployment depends on understanding grid capacity and market volatility. The tool provides a dual analysis of the grid, assessing both charging and discharging capabilities using real-time constraint data.
Craig Kaiser, co-founder of LandGate, said, “The fragmented approach to BESS siting creates delays and risks at a time when speed is critical for developers.”
He added that the platform is designed to replace weeks of consultant coordination with on-demand intelligence, allowing developers to assess viable locations before investing capital.
Key Features and Capabilities
The tool offers interconnection intelligence, enabling developers to evaluate substations for both Network Resource Interconnection Service (NRIS) and Energy Resource Interconnection Service (ERIS). This helps identify potential bottlenecks before entering interconnection queues.
It also introduces an arbitrage index that simplifies nodal pricing into a clear revenue potential indicator. Using both historical and forecast data, the platform analyses locational marginal price volatility.
Additionally, the tool provides detailed interconnection queue breakdowns, offering planning models reflecting the current grid and queue models reflecting the future grid. This helps distinguish between pending and approved interconnection agreements.
Infrastructure and environmental due diligence features include risk ratings for environmental hazards, terrain suitability for heavy installations, and proximity mapping for data centres, solar, and wind facilities.
Supporting Data Centres and Behind-the-Meter Strategies
LandGate said the tool also supports strategies focused on on-site power for data centres. By identifying sites near power plants and behind-the-meter resources, developers can supply storage power directly to data centres, helping reduce congestion and maintain reliability during peak demand.
Developers can instantly generate site-specific reports covering regulations, setbacks, and power purchase agreement estimates. Reports can also be updated as market conditions change.
LandGate provides data solutions across U.S. energy and infrastructure sectors, including energy storage, EVs, solar, wind, carbon, natural gas, and carbon capture and storage.
