Rowan Green Data Plans $300M Data Center in Temple

Rowan Green Data has plans to build a new 500-megawatt multi-tenant campus in Temple, TX, pending final negotiations with Temple EDC, the city and Bell County. The project will be undertaken in two phases with the first phase hosting 200MW. 

Rowan plans to ultimately invest $300 million, create 20 full-time positions and construct 135,000 square feet of new buildings and data center space. The facility will be located on 32 acres in southeast Temple in Synergy Park.

The construction phase of the project is expected to employ 40 to 60 workers for approximately nine to 12 months. During the operational phase, the completed data center will employ 20 highly skilled data center engineers, networking technicians and operations specialists.

“After our first conversations with Temple, we knew their business-friendly environment, infrastructure and partnership would be an ideal match for our current data center and future growth opportunities,” said Garret Bean, managing director of development for Rowan.

The company develops strategic host sites and support infrastructure for data center operators, combining powered land, wholesale energy and retail delivery. The company works closely with clients to ensure that campuses are powered by environmentally conscious energy sources.
