Department of Energy in Minnesota

Energy awards tagged to Minnesota

Department of Energy as awarding agency, Minnesota as place-of-performance: 184 records summing to $1,442,073,467.29. A Department of Energy award coded outside MN is out. An award in Minnesota from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Minnesota (MN) excludes Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Canada. A Wisconsin-coded award is WI even if the grid ties across the river.

One hundred eighty-four records against $1,442,073,467.29 is a thin Energy file. A high implied mean can sit beside a modest row count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 184 as 184 unique megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. The overlay Department of Energy in Minnesota is the both-keys table. Minnesota federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without an MN filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named utilities are unpublished. Assigning $1,442,073,467.29 to a single plant is a new extract. Correlation is not causation: Minnesota did not cause $1,442,073,467.29 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × MN only.

Not a wind-farm or nuclear headcount

$1,442,073,467.29 does not measure megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 089 and an MN place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 184 awards as a census of megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Minnesota federal spending or Department of Energy matched $1,442,073,467.29 and 184, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Wisconsin, Iowa, and North Dakota Energy joins are other pairs, not addends.
