New Empowering Rural America (New Era) Program in Indiana

One Indiana-coded NEW ERA award, not a statewide energy plan

This page joins CFDA 10.758, NEW EMPOWERING RURAL AMERICA (NEW ERA) PROGRAM, with Indiana place of performance. The facts are unusually sparse and unusually large: $676,796,440 on 1 award. SpendingVault reports that pair as stored. It does not name the recipient, does not say whether the project is generation, transmission, or another rural-energy use, and does not convert one award into a map of Indiana co-ops. The join is a catalog intersection, not a claim that every rural county in Indiana is a beneficiary.

Other USDA rural-development listings — electric loans, broadband, or water — use different CFDA numbers. Those dollars are outside $676,796,440 unless they also carry 10.758. A sibling NEW ERA join in another state would be a separate obligation total, not a ranking of which state “won” a competition. Correlation between this one award and Indiana’s energy mix is not causation; generation statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as Indiana locates the tagged award. It does not prove every rural county is a beneficiary, and it does not convert $676,796,440 into megawatts. The extract stores 1 award on CFDA 10.758 for that location field.

What a 1-award file can and cannot tell you

When award count is 1, the mean equals the total: $676,796,440. That identity is arithmetic, not a typical NEW ERA grant size nationwide. A single cooperative agreement, loan, or grant can dominate a new listing. Modifications might later add rows; this extract currently stores one. Award count is still a row count, not a count of substations, members, or megawatts.

Because there is only one line, the overlay is the place to read the recipient and award identifier as USAspending published them. This page will not guess the borrower. Open New Empowering Rural America (NEW ERA) Program in Indiana for that record. Do not treat the absence of additional awards as proof that no other Indiana rural-energy work exists — other CFDA numbers can hold it. The $676,796,440 figure is still one tagged award.

Questions

How much NEW ERA funding is obligated in Indiana?

USAspending.gov shows $676,796,440 in obligations for CFDA 10.758 with Indiana as place of performance, on 1 award. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not USDA’s full rural-development total for Indiana. Other rural listings are outside this join unless they also carry 10.758.

Why is there only one NEW ERA award in Indiana?

This extract stores 1 assistance-award row totaling $676,796,440. NEW ERA can post as large individual awards. Award count is not a census of rural utilities. The packet does not name the recipient or the project type. See the Indiana 10.758 overlay for the stored line.

Is this Indiana’s entire rural energy funding?

No. The join is CFDA 10.758 crossed with Indiana place of performance. Electric loans, broadband, and other USDA codes use different listings. Those dollars are not inside $676,796,440 unless the award also carries 10.758. The packet has no megawatt or member count.

Has the $676.8 million already been spent?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments as work is billed or funds are drawn. The $676,796,440 headline is the obligation on the tagged award in SpendingVault's extract. Construction progress is not published in this packet.
