# Project Pulse Project Pulse is [[DC Devco]]'s announced hyperscale data-center campus on the Gum Springs mega-site in Clark County, Arkansas. One of the six Arkansas data-center sites under investigation. The Pulse name is from the developer's publicly announced codename; the developer of record is **[[DC Devco|DC Devco LLC]]**. ## How it appears in the corpus - **Entergy's rate-case CWIP names the site.** [[26-001-U Doc 47 Volume 1 Application and Schedules A-B|Schedule B-8 (CWIP) of Doc. 47 in Docket 26-001-U]] carries three Pulse-related line items in test-year transmission CWIP: - Gum Springs Land Acquisition — $50,361 (last activity Feb-24) - Gum Springs: Bld 115kV SS — $485,601 (last activity Apr-24) - Gum Springs: Bld 115kV SwSub — $13,435 (last activity Feb-24) - This is **the first public-record evidence in the corpus of Entergy committing transmission infrastructure to the Pulse site**. - No FOIA production has yet returned records on Pulse; the developer is a private LLC. ## Stakeholders - [[DC Devco|DC Devco LLC]] — developer of record. - [[Entergy Arkansas]] — counterparty for transmission interconnection; building the 115 kV substation at Gum Springs as a rate-base item. - Clark County, Arkansas (Gum Springs mega-site is in Clark County). ## Notes The CWIP entries identify Pulse-related transmission projects at the test-year (2025) level. The full project scope — megawatt commitment, in-service date, total transmission and generation cost — is not yet in the corpus. The DC Devco / Pulse name does not appear in the [[Generating Arkansas Jobs Act (GAJA) rider|GAJA Rider]] as a driver, suggesting either (a) the load growth attributable to Pulse is being baked into the standard rate classes via this rate case, or (b) Pulse is served under a special rate contract that has not yet been ingested or surfaced. ## Status update (2026-06-03) At the **2026-06-02 Economic Development Corporation of Clark County (EDCCC) meeting**, CEO Shelley Short stated that **"despite rumor, there are no data centers looking to build in Clark County"** (web research 2026-06-03, [The Arkadelphian](../../web%20archive/2026-06-03/arkadelphian.com/citizen-voices-amplified-economic-development-2026-06-02.md)). This follows a reported **early-May 2026 termination of the Gum Springs / Project Pulse contract**. The EDCCC nonetheless approved **holding $50,000 in earnest money from [[DC Devco|Devco LLC]]** in a Citizens Bank account, with no project status or timeline disclosed, and tasked Short with drafting a public-comment policy by July 28. **Net:** Project Pulse appears stalled or terminated as of June 2026, though the retained earnest money leaves the site's status ambiguous — open question whether Devco or an undisclosed end-buyer retains any claim on the mega-site. The Entergy CWIP line items above predate this and reflect 2024-era transmission commitments.
