Provider notes
Energy. Power secured via a partnership with Oncor (ERCOT grid); no on-site generation documented.
Water. City of Temple requires closed-loop cooling for data-center projects; Project Temple's domestic water use is contractually capped at 4,000 gal/day (a contractual requirement, not an estimate) with no ongoing cooling-water withdrawal. The full utility-services agreement was withheld by the City in response to a records request.
Community. Temple City Council approved unanimously and Bell County supported; organized resident opposition (town halls, council testimony) raised concerns over an undisclosed additional Rowan campus, water/grid/noise, and the abatement. Rowan held a March 2026 open house and community partnerships. The named tenant is undisclosed ('top global technology company'); opposition speculates Meta, unconfirmed.
These reviews flag conflicting scope, inconsistent source text or support that has not been established. A withheld value may appear in the explanation, but is not displayed as an established field. The upstream row remains attributed under Sources.
- Announced investment: The source note says the roughly $700 million figure is an abatement minimum-investment floor and that investment was meant to be omitted.
What the source record says
300 MW campus in Temple, Bell County; $3B financing secured, operations targeted 2027. Distinct from Rowan's separately-tracked Frederick, MD campus. Coordinates are the Temple area centroid. The '$3B' figure is green debt financing (May 2026), not campus capex; the abatement cites a ~$700M minimum investment floor -> investmentUsd omitted. ~600 construction / ~40 permanent jobs projected (abatement requires >=48 permanent) -> jobs honest-zero.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
