State Energy Program — CFDA 81.041

What $8.04 billion on 422 awards means

Assistance listing 81.041 is titled STATE ENERGY PROGRAM in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $8,040,179,769.49. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a utility rebate already issued.

422 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $8,040,179,769.49 by 422 produces a mean near $19.1 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical household weatherization cost and not a per-megawatt capital rate. State-energy dollars often sit on a modest number of large state actions, which is why 422 records can carry $8,040,179,769.49.

116 organizational recipients appear on those rows. 56 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into energy saved.

116 recipients across 56 states

CFDA 81.041 lists 116 recipients and 56 states against 422 awards. Recipient count is not unique households. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. A state energy office can appear on multiple awards; 116 is not a headcount of utilities.

Fifty-six states is a coded-jurisdiction span, including territories if they appear in the file’s state field. Because 422 awards are few relative to the dollar total, a handful of large state actions can move $8,040,179,769.49 without a matching jump in the 116-recipient count.

Obligations versus energy outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $8,040,179,769.49 figure for CFDA 81.041 can include commitments that will disburse as program years continue. A separate energy-savings report or a Treasury outlay table is a different publication. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 81.041 program page. Do not stretch 422 awards or 116 recipients to cover every energy dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 81.041 tables omit

The State Energy Program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a project schedule, not a kilowatt-hour ledger, and not a ranking of states. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $8,040,179,769.49.

Place-of-performance on 56 states is a coding field. A statewide office coded to one cell can dominate geography while projects sit in many localities. Read the program page before any state split.

A worked reading of the 81.041 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 81.041: $8,040,179,769.49 in obligations, 422 awards, 116 recipients, and 56 states. The mean near $19.05 million per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 116 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 422 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $8,040,179,769.49.

Nothing in the extract splits STATE ENERGY PROGRAM into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 81.041 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 422 awards and 116 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $8,040,179,769.49. Name the series as obligations, not outlays, every time the figure is reused. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A complete working citation for this listing is $8,040,179,769.49 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 81.041, covering 422 awards, 116 recipients, and 56 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert 422 awards into energy saved, or 116 recipients into a utility census. The 56-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the STATE ENERGY PROGRAM hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $8,040,179,769.49, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 422 award rows.
