From Decision to Execution: How to Validate BYOG Sites Before You Commit

Interconnection queues now stretch six years, and natural gas has become the default answer for data center developers who can’t wait. Enverus Intelligence® Research (EIR) projects BTM will account for 41% of data center load through 2030, reaching 28 GW by 2035 and driving 1.3 Bcf/d of incremental natural gas demand concentrated in ERCOT and PJM. But choosing gas-backed power does not automatically validate a site. Pipeline constraints and competing BTM load can quietly kill a project that looked viable on paper. And for teams still weighing BTM against grid-connected options, interconnection upgrade costs are often what decide it. In this live workflow session, Enverus product owners and a senior analyst from EIR will walk through both questions at the same candidate site, before capital is committed.

In this session, you will see how to: 

• Track daily flows and remaining capacity across approximately 30,000 U.S. interstate transmission meters to assess gas supply reliability at a candidate site 
• Identify pipeline constraints and competing BTM load that could affect long-term gas availability in your target corridors 
• Screen large load interconnection feasibility across every bus in PJM, MISO, SPP, WECC, and ERCOT using dual-methodology analysis that bookends available withdrawal capacity 
• For teams still comparing BTM against grid-connected options, evaluate full constraint lists and network upgrade costs at your target load size to understand what grid backup or future integration actually costs

This session is for anyone on a data center development team making power architecture, site selection, or interconnection decisions. Whether you are screening new markets, stress-testing a shortlist, or building the investment case for a behind-the-meter build, this webinar shows the workflow to move from candidate site to confident go/no-go faster.
