NYISO (New York)

Deliverable = signed interconnection agreement, in service by 2028, merchant (reconciled from the ISO's own queue). Existing and planned from EIA-860M.
NYISO is the clearest case of a closed door for new gas. It has about 24 GW of existing gas, but its interconnection queue contains no gas projects at all. The queue is renewables, storage, and transmission. New York's 2040 zero-emission electricity mandate makes new long-lived, unabated gas generation increasingly difficult to justify, and the signed, near-term merchant gas figure is zero.
For a data center needing firm gas, New York is not a supply market. Firm power there depends on the existing fleet, transmission, storage, and imports, under a policy regime actively working to reduce thermal generation.
Like California, the NYISO question worth analyzing is how a decarbonizing grid absorbs large new loads, which is a demand-side and transmission question.
