Energy efficiency and renewable energy information assistance — CFDA 81.117

Two hundred awards carrying $524.2M

USAspending.gov attaches $524.2M in obligations to assistance awards tagged 81.117. SpendingVault reprints that catalog total. The official title bundles information dissemination, outreach, training, and technical analysis/assistance under one CFDA number. The packet does not split the $524.2M among those activity types. This guide will not invent an outreach-only share or a training-only share.

No fiscal year is supplied. If a national-lab or nonprofit notice cites a different EERE technical-assistance total, match the CFDA number before adding that notice to $524.2M. Other energy-efficiency listings — weatherization, state energy program, or deployment grants — are other catalog rows unless tagged 81.117. Keep this information-and-training line on its own obligation sum.

Two hundred awards at this dollar scale is a mid-volume assistance file. The packet has no median award size. Do not divide $524.2M by 200 and publish the quotient as a typical outreach grant. Amount-sort on the hub is the check. Audience — industry, state energy offices, or the public — is not in the packet.

200 awards on 139 recipient identifiers

One hundred thirty-nine recipients hold 200 awards. That pattern is compatible with organizations holding more than one award or continuation. The packet does not classify the 139 as labs, universities, or nonprofits. Award count is a row count; recipient count is distinct identifiers, not a count of workshops or technical-assistance hours.

A 139-name list is large enough that search on the program hub helps. Repeat identifiers mean the same organization received more than one recorded award. Repeat appearance is not a finding about training quality. Slide decks, webinar counts, and analysis reports are not in this extract.

45 states on the 81.117 extract

The file counts 45 states. That is wide coverage without claiming every jurisdiction in a 50-plus extract. The packet does not name the 45 or split the $524.2M among them. Place of performance for a national organization may be a headquarters state even when outreach travels. This packet does not say which location field fed the count.

Forty-five states is a coverage statistic, not an energy-savings map. Missing states are not listed, so their absence is not explained here. Use award-level place fields on the hub if a particular state is the question. This rollup will not rank jurisdictions by renewable generation.

Outreach obligations are not deployment outlays

Utility rebate files, tax-credit claims, and weatherization production reports are different ledgers. CFDA 81.117’s $524.2M is USAspending assistance-award obligations on this information-and-training listing. Mixing those deployment dollars into $524.2M would build a homemade “all energy efficiency” figure the packet does not support.

Outlays are payments. Obligations are commitments. Technical-assistance awards can draw after the obligation date. This extract does not report outlays or kilowatt-hours. Cite $524.2M as recorded commitments on 200 awards. Do not describe the sum as money already spent on equipment installs.

Not a combined EERE catalog total

Other energy listings can sit near 81.117 on the all-programs index because their obligation totals occupy a similar band. Similar scale is not similar purpose. Do not add this $524.2M to a neighboring CFDA. Keep energy-efficiency information dissemination, outreach, training, and technical analysis/assistance on its own catalog row.

Opening the 81.117 table

The program page for this EERE information-and-training listing holds the 200 awards and 139 recipients behind $524.2M. Filter by location if a state is the question; the 45-state count will not name them. Agency pages are a different USAspending cut; this packet does not name the awarding agency, so the $524.2M stays on the CFDA card. Kilowatt-hour dashboards remain a different file than this obligation rollup. Cite $524.2M only as the CFDA 81.117 obligation total on SpendingVault. Kilowatt-hour dashboards are not this CFDA 81.117 extract. Cite $524.2M only as the obligation total on SpendingVault. Workshop attendance is outside the packet.

Questions

How much is obligated under CFDA 81.117?

ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY INFORMATION DISSEMINATION, OUTREACH, TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS/ASSISTANCE shows $524.2M in USAspending.gov obligations in SpendingVault’s extract. The figure is a commitment total, not outlays and not kilowatt-hours saved. The extract does not split outreach from training.

How many 81.117 awards are in the extract?

The file lists 200 awards and 139 recipients. Award count is a row count; recipient count is distinct identifiers. The packet does not classify those recipients as labs, universities, or nonprofits. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 81.117 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Which states appear on the 81.117 listing?

The extract counts 45 states but does not name them or split the $524.2M by state. Headquarters location may differ from where outreach occurred. Use the award table for geography on individual lines. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 81.117 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Is $524.2M weatherization or equipment-rebate spending?

No. This listing is information dissemination, outreach, training, and technical analysis/assistance as named on the title. The $524.2M is assistance-award obligations, not deployment outlays. USAspending.gov obligations on CFDA 81.117 are recorded commitments, not Treasury outlays.
