Provider notes
Energy. Served initially from the FirstEnergy Sage Substation; Rowan plans to build an adjacent substation for a direct connection.
Water. Site plan filings state 392,000 gallons per day for cooling. Bauxite II and III together require about 1.081 million gpd, nearly exhausting the 1.3 million gpd first-phase allocation under Frederick County's Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance agreement.
What the source record says
Second phase of Rowan's three-phase Bauxite campus on the former Alcoa Eastalco site inside Quantum Frederick. Four data center buildings plus auxiliary buildings on 111.5 acres; Rowan states delivery in 2026. Per-phase MW is not stated consistently across sources, so capacityMw is omitted; Rowan describes the combined three-phase campus as about 600-630 MW across 375 acres. Re-checked 2026-09-10: status confirmed PERMITTED, no change. accessed again the Planning Commission approval article; no newer filings or status developments found this run. Per-phase MW remains genuinely unstated in every source found (Rowan only quotes the combined ~600-630 MW campus figure), consistent with the existing record's deliberate omission of capacityMw.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
