Why it matters
The strategic read
Adds another large Texas AI data-center financing receipt where the scarce asset is powered land plus construction capital. Rowan already says Project Temple serves a top global technology company, has power secured through Oncor, and is expected online in 2027; the new financing turns that 300 MW campus from development pipeline into funded buildout.
