The Challenge 

One of the leading U.S. data center developers, was evaluating multiple greenfield sites across the U.S. for a new facility powered by behind-the-meter natural gas generation.


The internal team lacked in-house oil and gas expertise and would typically rely on a third-party gas marketing consultant or infrastructure advisory firm to assess pipeline proximity and availability.

The Solution 

Using the platform, the team completed gas availability checks for multiple sites — each in just a few minutes — rather than outsourcing this process and waiting weeks for a compiled report. 

Rextag enabled fast, repeatable lookups for each potential site, turning what was once a specialized outsourced task into an internal decision-making workflow. 

Business Impact 

By shifting this infrastructure validation work in-house: 

The team avoided a

$30,000 – $50,000

consulting engagement

Eliminated

2–3 weeks

of external coordination and data gathering 

Empowered a siting team of

3–6 members

including roles of a lead developer, GIS
analyst, and infrastructure advisor to
directly compare and prioritize viable
locations 

Here’s how the workflow changes:
