Department of Energy in Oregon

Energy awards tagged to Oregon

Department of Energy as awarding agency, Oregon as place-of-performance: 237 records summing to $1,468,515,690.02. A Department of Energy award coded outside OR is out. An award in Oregon from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Oregon (OR) excludes Washington, California, Idaho, and Nevada. A Hanford-coded award is Washington, not this cell.

Two hundred thirty-seven records against $1,468,515,690.02 is a thin Energy file: few rows, large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 237 as 237 unique megawatts, dam output, or unique energy projects. The overlay Department of Energy in Oregon is the both-keys table. Oregon federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without an OR filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Portland is unpublished as a metro share. Named labs are unpublished. Correlation is not causation: Oregon did not cause $1,468,515,690.02 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × OR only.

Hydropower output is not a USAspending field

$1,468,515,690.02 does not measure megawatts, dam output, 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 OR place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 237 awards as a census of megawatts, dam output, or unique energy projects. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Oregon federal spending or Department of Energy matched $1,468,515,690.02 and 237, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Washington, California, and Idaho Energy joins are other pairs, not addends.
