What changes the reading

  • Rowan describes the customer only as a top global technology company. The public sources reviewed here do not establish that Polmer is a public brand or identify its parent.[1][2]
  • The company campus acreage is broader than the city reinvestment zone. The two figures describe different boundaries and should not be reconciled into one site measurement.[2][4]
  • The water figures are design estimates. The larger amount is an initial system charge that Rowan says will recirculate, while the daily amount concerns ordinary employee uses.[3]
  • The expected operating year is a company schedule. It is not evidence that the campus has passed final inspection or begun serving load.[2]

Still not public

  • The outside computing customer has not been named.
  • Delivered power and actual electrical demand are not public.
  • The source of the initial cooling water charge is not public.
  • Backup generation and battery plans are not public.
  • A confirmed opening date is not public.

The registry entry for this facility comes from the Texas Comptroller's certified list of data centers holding a sales tax exemption. Owner, occupant and operator are roles in that filing rather than descriptions of who runs the building.
