The EV Charging Index assesses and scores the suitability of land parcels for developing electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. This index is a crucial metric for stakeholders considering investment in EV infrastructure. It factors in various elements crucial to the success and accessibility of EV charging sites, such as proximity to major roadways, popular amenities, and existing electrical infrastructure. The index also considers local and federal incentives, aligning with the growing emphasis on sustainable transportation.

A lower index score suggests a lower relative suitability for EV charging site development in comparison to other parcels nationwide. 

The Battery Storage Index offers a thorough assessment of each parcel's potential for battery storage project development. Functioning as a relative indicator of the value of such projects, the index is grounded in distinct land characteristics and pertinent factors. This tool aids landowners and developers in evaluating the comparative worth of battery storage projects across various locations, factoring in critical elements such as nearby infrastructure, capacity availability, interconnection queue position, and energy pricing dynamics.

A lower index score indicates a comparatively lower value for battery storage development relative to similar projects nationwide. 

LandGate measures the value of a parcel’s access to sufficient available power from the electrical grid by studying nearby, accessible power sources and electrical infrastructure, as well electricity supply and demand within the local grid of the selected parcel. A high index scores indicates greater available power.

Ample power from the electrical grid is crucial for any property, whether it's residential, commercial, or industrial, to ensure reliable and continuous supply of electricity, which is essential for various functions like adding a home charging station, or even building a renewable energy project. Analyzing the balance of electricity supply and demand within the local grid is essential to ensure that activities within a property do not strain the grid excessively. 

LandGate’s Mineral Value Index provides a relative valuation of mineral right value for every parcel in the United States. Leveraging a mix of proprietary and public data, LandGate applies complex algorithms to calculate values for each and every parcel.

This index score is a representation of the relative mineral value for a specific parcel. It takes into account geologic, reservoir and operations engineering variables to determine the net remaining reserves of existing and potential future wells that could produce minerals existing on the property.

LandGate collects public and proprietary data across the U.S., processes it for user accessibility, and applies geological and reservoir engineering analysis to estimate the remaining oil and gas in each parcel. This analysis considers geological formations, existing and potential wells, oil prices, rig counts, and market value discount rates to determine the net present value of remaining reserves for each parcel.

The Mining index score reflects the relative value of the mineral rights on an individual parcel in relation to mining activity.    It indicates whether or not the parcel would be suited for mining of multiple different types of minerals.

Property values vary greatly based on each location's geologic characteristics. Minerals are classified into major groups: precious (gold & silver), rare earth (minerals with limited distribution), critical (used in renewable energy and batteries), industrial (iron, copper, etc., for manufacturing), construction (sand, gravel, rocks), and energy (coal, uranium). Mineral value depends on the type of minerals present.

LandGate summarizes the relative value of mineral rights on ever parcel in the US based on multiple geologic characteristics including, but not limited to, lithologic composition of bedrock, specific mineral accumulations and occurrences, historical production of specific minerals, proximity and geologic setting of each individual parcel.  

The Water Value index reflects the relative value of possible water rights that may be associated with an individual piece of property.

Water value varies greatly by location. In Western U.S., water rights are crucial and highly valuable, especially for agriculture. As urban areas expand, cities increasingly buy water rights from property owners. LandGate indicates the relative values of potential water rights for parcels, determined by various environmental, geologic, and atmospheric factors.

The LandGate Water Value index comprises features that affect individual parcels pertaining to their accessibility to water. This includes features such as temperature, precipitation levels, elevation and annual wind speeds. The index score is associated with how much of each factor is obtained at each parcel. For example, LandGate associates parcels that score a higher value on precipitation levels with a higher water value index score. 

The C&I Solar Index serves as an indicator of the effectiveness and attractiveness of a commercial space  for C&I solar projects.  It assesses the viability of building a solar project in a commercial space.  It helps stakeholders, including investors and policymakers, understand the financial viability and potential success of CNI solar ventures. It quantifies the performance of C&I solar projects based on their ability to efficiently utilize available space for panel placement, maximize capacity through panel efficiency and wattage considerations, and optimize energy production by leveraging solar irradiance. The index also takes into account revenue generation, reflecting the financial viability of C&I solar projects based on local commercial electricity rates.

The Data Center Index is a quantitative tool used to assess the suitability of a location for hosting a data center. It considers various factors that impact the effectiveness, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of a data center, helping businesses and organizations make informed decisions about where to locate their data centers.

This index evaluates locations based on factors such as accessibility, power supply, cooling options, connectivity, space availability, costs, regulatory environment, environmental impact, and geographic stability. Each factor is weighted based on its importance, and a score is calculated for each location to assess its overall suitability for a data center. 

The Green Power Index evaluates and scores the environmental friendliness of electric power distribution across various regions. By focusing on the generation and distribution dynamics of electricity, along with associated carbon dioxide emissions, the index provides a comprehensive measure of the 'greenness' of energy supplied to load stations.

LandGate runs power flow studies using an 8 bus model to analyze generators and associated load stations distributing the power. By utilizing power plants in the database, LandGate allocates the energy by fuel type in each substation. This energy breakdown is weighed against carbon dioxide emissions for each fuel type to calculate the green power index.
