New Empowering Rural America (New Era) Program in Kentucky

Kentucky x 10.758 is a New ERA join, not a co-op census

This page pairs CFDA 10.758, NEW EMPOWERING RURAL AMERICA (NEW ERA) PROGRAM, with Kentucky place of performance. New ERA, in program language, supports rural electric cooperatives and related entities in energy projects. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $494,532,247 on 4 awards. The extract does not list cooperatives, megawatts, or counties. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state is more rural, and not a claim that 4 awards equal 4 cooperatives.

Other USDA listings — rural utilities, SNAP administration, or different energy codes — sit outside $494,532,247 unless they also carry 10.758. Mixing New ERA with those codes would invent a combined rural figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and farm acreage is not causation. Acreage is not in the packet. Place of performance as Kentucky locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $494,532,247 in cooperative accounts.

4 awards behind $494.5 million

Mean obligation is about $123,633,062 if $494,532,247 were divided evenly across 4 lines. That ratio is not a published grant size. A four-row extract can concentrate dollars in a few large assistance awards. Award count is a row count, including possible modifications. It is not a count of cooperatives, counties, or megawatts.

Four lines are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent recipient names. Open New Empowering Rural America (New Era) Program in Kentucky for the stored table. Do not convert 4 into a map of Kentucky rural utilities. The $494,532,247 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards, not kilowatt-hours generated. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a project list.

Questions

How much New ERA funding is obligated in Kentucky?

USAspending.gov shows $494,532,247 in obligations for CFDA 10.758 with Kentucky as place of performance, across 4 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Kentucky's full energy budget. Other USDA listings are outside this join unless they also carry 10.758.

Do 4 awards mean 4 Kentucky rural cooperatives?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include modifications. It is not a cooperative or megawatt census. The packet does not name recipients. See the Kentucky 10.758 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this Kentucky's entire federal rural-energy funding?

No. The join is CFDA 10.758, New Empowering Rural America (New ERA) Program, crossed with Kentucky place of performance. Other USDA rural-utility codes use different listings. Those dollars are not inside $494,532,247 unless the award also carries 10.758.

Is $495 million already spent on Kentucky rural energy projects?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $494,532,247 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Construction draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
