LandGate, a provider of data intelligence for energy and real estate, has announced the launch of its Battery Storage Analysis tool, which it says generates automated, engineering-grade Battery Storage Due Diligence Reports instantly. LandGate positions the product as a way to reduce battery energy storage system (BESS) site-selection timelines from weeks to seconds by consolidating data and analysis that are often sourced through multiple consultants.
LandGate says BESS developers have faced “fragmented data” during site selection, typically coordinating separate efforts for interconnection studies, environmental assessments, and arbitrage forecasting. The company says its tool centralizes this workflow into a single, proprietary workflow and adds what it describes as a “two-way” view of the grid by analyzing both charging (pulling power) and discharging (injecting power) capability based on real-time constraints.
“The fragmented approach to BESS siting introduces delays and risks precisely when speed determines competitive advantage,” said Craig Kaiser, Co-founder of LandGate. “We are replacing weeks of consultant coordination with on-demand, proprietary intelligence that allows developers to pivot to viable locations before sinking capital into non-performing sites.”
LandGate lists several product features aimed at early-stage interconnection and revenue screening. It says developers can evaluate target substations for Network Resource Interconnection Service (NRIS) and Energy Resource Interconnection Service (ERIS) to identify physical bottlenecks before entering the interconnection queue. The company also describes an “Arbitrage Index” that converts nodal pricing into a revenue-potential indicator by calculating four-hour price margins and visualizing Locational Marginal Price (LMP) volatility using historical and forecasted data.
For competitive and future-grid context, LandGate says the tool includes a queue breakdown with both “Planning Models” (current grid) and “Queue Models” (future grid) to distinguish between pending and approved Interconnection Agreements (IA). It also includes infrastructure and environmental due diligence outputs, including instant risk ratings for environmental hazards, topography suitability for heavy enclosures, and proximity mapping for data centers, solar farms, and wind facilities.
LandGate also frames the tool as enabling “on-site data center power” strategies and behind-the-meter (BTM) positioning. The company says identifying sites near power plants and BTM resources can help developers place BESS assets to provide direct power to data centers, with stated benefits including bypassing grid congestion, maintaining reliability when switching between load types, and reducing costs by discharging during expensive peak hours. LandGate adds that users can generate site-specific reports that evaluate custom setbacks, local ordinances, and power purchase agreement (PPA) estimates, and regenerate reports as queue entries or LMP patterns change.
