Renewable Energy Research and Development in Utah

Utah x 81.087 is an energy R&D join, not a generation census

This page pairs CFDA 81.087, RENEWABLE ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, with Utah place of performance. The listing, in program language, funds research, development, and related work on renewable energy technologies. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $365,034,191.21 on 15 awards. The extract does not list labs, technologies, or installed capacity. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state is greener, and not a claim that 15 awards equal 15 power plants.

Other DOE listings — fossil energy, nuclear, or different applied-science codes — sit outside $365,034,191.21 unless they also carry 81.087. Utah’s Veterans State Nursing Home Care join on 64.015 is a VA overlay, not a DOE subset. Mixing R&D with VA per diem would invent a combined state figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and renewable generation is not causation. Generation figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Utah locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $365,034,191.21 in the state treasury.

15 awards behind $365.0 million

Mean obligation is about $24,335,612.75 if $365,034,191.21 were divided evenly across 15 lines. That ratio is not a published grant size and not a cost per megawatt. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of labs, companies, or demonstration sites.

Fifteen lines are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Renewable Energy Research And Development in Utah for the stored table. Do not convert 15 into a map of Utah solar farms. The $365,034,191.21 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards, not research already completed. Inspect named lines rather than inferring installed capacity.

Questions

How much Renewable Energy R&D funding is obligated in Utah?

USAspending.gov shows $365,034,191.21 in obligations for CFDA 81.087 with Utah as place of performance, across 15 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Utah’s full energy budget. Other DOE listings are outside this join unless they also carry 81.087.

Do 15 awards mean 15 Utah renewable plants?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a plant or megawatt census. The packet does not name recipients. See the Utah 81.087 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this Utah’s entire federal energy funding?

No. The join is CFDA 81.087, Renewable Energy Research and Development, crossed with Utah place of performance. Other DOE codes use different listings. Those dollars are not inside $365,034,191.21 unless the award also carries 81.087. The extract has no generation table.

Is $365 million already spent on Utah energy research?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $365,034,191.21 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Project draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
