SOURCE RECORD

Rowan Project Temple Data Center Campus: source record

under_construction

Building count reporting is inconsistent: Rowan's January 2026 release and local coverage describe a 300 MW campus; KWTX reported in August 2026 that six buildings are contemplated with four under construction and five approved. Rowan has not named its customer; the Comptroller registry pairing of Rowan Temple LLC (owner/operator) with Polmer LLC (occupant) is the strongest public signal of tenancy.
