Data center siting

Yes, PVcase Prospect is a versatile tool that effectively supports data center site assessment, as many of the key considerations overlap with renewable energy project siting. Our platform enables data center developers and real estate brokers to efficiently site, analyze, and de-risk land using critical criteria such as:

• Interconnection potential (offtake/withdrawal capacity, upgrade and allocated cost analysis, and identification of constraints or pre-existing issues)

• Proximity to fiber routes and power infrastructure

• Energy market pricing analysis (LMPs)

• Access to wastewater for cooling

• Suitable topography

• Advanced flood and hazard assessments

• Parcel and zoning data

By consolidating these essential insights in one platform and adding workflow automation, you can quickly identify optimal sites and conduct in-depth due diligence, saving time and significantly reducing manual research efforts.

PVcase Prospect automates data center site assessment coming out-of-the-box with hundreds of essential geospatial and grid intelligence datasets integrated into purpose-built workflows. Our easy-to-use cloud-based platform means that you don’t need to be a GIS expert to do advanced site analysis and due diligence.. Intuitive workflows guide users through every phase of analysis including: grid and market pricing assessments, automated parcel search, hazard buildability analyses, and report * export creation. This eliminates manual data collection and GIS analysis, enabling project developers and brokers to find, qualify, and compare suitable sites faster and at scale with consistent, reliable results.

PVcase Prospect provides all the critical data and automated analysis needed to identify which parcels of land are suitable for data centers. In our automated Buildable Area Analysis feature, you can quickly run advanced GIS analysis on hundreds (or even thousands) of parcels at once with the most comprehensive analysis on the market. Easily input your criteria and save common parameters as a template for consistent analysis; analyze slope, protected areas (critical habitats, conservation easements, public lands), wetlands, tree cover, and existing infrastructure. Leverage the leading climate-adjusted flood risk analysis available, from our partner First Street, to conduct in-depth flood risk mapping for target sites and de-risk projects from the start. Our automation quickly maps which areas are buildable based on your requirements and creates constraint maps to show hazards and buildable areas on the site... Easily rank and shortlist the top sites and create exportable maps and reports to showcase your sites to investors and partners alike.
