Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations and Commercial Applications in West Virginia

West Virginia x 81.253 is a DOE demo join, not a plant census

This page pairs CFDA 81.253, MANUFACTURING AND ENERGY SUPPLY CHAIN DEMONSTRATIONS AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS, with West Virginia place of performance. The join is a Department of Energy manufacturing and energy supply-chain demonstration listing crossed with a state location field, not West Virginia’s entire energy or manufacturing budget and not a census of plants. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $150,000,000 on 1 awards. The extract does not list plants, products, or recipient names. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more need, and not a claim that 1 awards equal one factory or one commercial product.

Other Energy listings — grid resilience, fossil R&D, or different 81.xxx titles — sit outside this total unless they also carry 81.253. Mixing those listings into $150,000,000 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and manufacturing employment is not causation. BLS employment figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as West Virginia locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $150,000,000 in the state treasury. Huntington-versus-Ohio-Valley plant folklore is not a facility split in this packet. One award is a record count, not proof that only one company exists in the state.

1 award behind $150.0 million

Mean obligation is about $150,000,000 if $150,000,000 were divided evenly across 1 lines. That ratio is not a published plant cost — with one row, the mean equals the headline total and is still not a typical invoice. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of plants, jobs, or products.

One line is a single-row join. A large demonstration award can occupy the entire dollar total. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Manufacturing And Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations And Commercial Applications in West Virginia for the stored table. Do not convert 1 into a map of West Virginia factories. The $150,000,000 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a plant census.

Questions

How much Energy Supply Chain demonstration funding is obligated in West Virginia?

USAspending.gov shows $150,000,000 in obligations for CFDA 81.253 with West Virginia as place of performance, across 1 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not West Virginia’s full energy-manufacturing budget. Other listings are outside this join unless they also carry 81.253.

Does 1 award mean 1 West Virginia factory?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards. A large demonstration can post as one row. It is not a plant, job, or product census. See the West Virginia 81.253 overlay for the named line as USAspending stored it.

Is this West Virginia’s entire DOE funding?

No. The join is CFDA 81.253, Manufacturing And Energy Supply Chain Demonstrations And Commercial Applications, crossed with West Virginia place of performance. Other Energy codes use different listings. Those dollars are not inside $150,000,000 unless the award also carries 81.253.

Is $150 million already spent standing up a West Virginia plant?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $150,000,000 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Construction milestones, jobs, and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
