Data center site selection data: parcels, power and projects
Data center site selection starts with the land. Check, at each candidate parcel, which projects are already planned nearby, where the power is and how the site connects to water, rail and highways.
Data center site selection: the job to be done
Site selection teams and the brokers, developers and utilities who work with them compare dozens of parcels before a single one gets an engineering study. For each one they need the parcel itself, the data-center projects already proposed, permitted or operating around it, and the generation and transmission context that decides whether power is realistic.
Korzy answers those questions at an address, a point or a parcel ID, so a screening script or an AI agent can run the same checks across a whole list of candidates.
Questions Korzy answers for data center site selection
- Which data-center projects are within 10 km, and what stage is each at: proposed, permitted, under construction, operating or cancelled?
- What capacity has a nearby project reported, and as of when?
- Which power plants are in the area, and what load capacity have nearby utilities published?
- Is the parcel inside a mapped water and sewer service area? How close are rail lines and freight corridors?
API routes and MCP tools for data center site selection
Each MCP tool on the Korzy MCP server runs the matching API route, at the same credits. Routes link to their section of the API reference; credits and rate limits covers what each request costs.
| MCP tool | API route | What it returns |
|---|---|---|
lookup | /v1/lookup | With the datacenters section: data-center projects within 10 km, nearest first, with status and reported capacity. |
lookup | /v1/lookup | With the power and grid sections: power plants within 50 km, and published load capacity and transmission lines nearby. |
lookup | /v1/lookup | With the logistics and utilities sections: rail, ports and freight corridors within 25 km, and water and sewer service. |
get_record | /v1/records/{id} | A project with dated capacity evidence and its timeline, or a plant and its generators. |
enrich | /v1/enrich | Land use, acreage and values for a whole list of candidate parcels. |
