Rowan Digital Infrastructure Secures $3 Billion Green Financing for 300MW Texas Data Center Campus
Rowan Digital Infrastructure, a US-based data center developer, has closed nearly $3 billion in debt financing to support the construction of its turnkey data center campus in Temple, Texas. The company announced the deal this week, marking the largest single financing in its history and underscoring the growing demand for large-scale digital infrastructure in the US.
The financing, structured under Rowan’s Green Finance Framework, will fund the development of a 300-megawatt campus on a 300-acre site in Bell County. Rowan broke ground on the project earlier this year, and the first phase is expected to go live in 2027. This latest transaction brings the total capital raised under the green framework to $4.4 billion across three projects over the past year alone.
“This transaction reflects both the scale of demand we’re seeing from the market and the confidence institutional lenders have in Rowan’s platform,” said Charley Daitch, CEO of Rowan Digital Infrastructure. “Executing our largest financing to date — and under our Green Finance Framework — underscores our ability to deliver critical infrastructure at scale while maintaining a disciplined and responsible approach to development.”
Founded in November 2020, Rowan is backed by energy investor Quinbrook and asset management giant Blackstone. The company is also developing data center projects in Maryland and Oregon, and holds additional sites in Texas near San Antonio. The Temple campus represents a key part of Rowan’s strategy to meet surging demand for AI and cloud computing capacity, while aligning its capital structure with sustainability goals through green-labeled debt instruments.
The deal highlights a broader industry trend where data center operators are increasingly turning to sustainable financing mechanisms to fund massive capital expenditures. As hyperscale and enterprise clients prioritize carbon-neutral infrastructure, green financing frameworks are becoming a critical tool for developers to secure long-term, low-cost capital while demonstrating environmental accountability. The Temple project is expected to serve as a major hub for compute-intensive workloads in the central US region.
