LandGate, a data intelligence provider for the energy and real estate sectors, announced the launch of a new analysis platform designed to dramatically cut the time needed to evaluate sites for battery energy storage projects. The company said its Battery Storage Analysis tool delivers automated, engineering‑grade due diligence reports in seconds — a process that previously could take weeks.
The rapid expansion of the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) market — driven by grid modernization, rising demand from data centres and broader integration of renewable energy — has highlighted long‑standing challenges in identifying optimal project locations. Traditionally, developers have relied on disparate data sources and external consultants for interconnection studies, environmental reviews and revenue forecasting, slowing the site selection process.
LandGate said the new tool aims to address this “intelligence gap” by unifying critical workflows in a single platform. It provides a dual analysis of grid capacity and market conditions, assessing both charging and discharging constraints based on real‑time data. According to the company, this capability helps developers understand grid dynamics more comprehensively before advancing a site.
Craig Kaiser, co‑founder of LandGate, said the fragmented approach to siting battery storage adds unnecessary risk and delay at a time when speed is key for developers looking to secure competitive positions. The company said the tool replaces the need for weeks of consultant coordination with on‑demand intelligence.
Key features of the platform include interconnection analytics that allow developers to evaluate substations for potential network constraints, an arbitrage index that simplifies locational pricing data into revenue potential insights, and breakdowns of current and future queue positions for grid access. In addition, the tool offers environmental and infrastructure risk ratings, terrain suitability assessments and proximity data for solar, wind and data centre projects.
LandGate noted that the tool also supports strategies focused on placing storage near power plants and behind‑the‑meter sites, enabling closer power supply to large energy users such as data centres, potentially reducing congestion and costs during peak demand periods. The company said users can generate customizable, site‑specific reports and update them as market conditions evolve.
