Clean Energy Demonstrations in Texas 1st District (TX-01)
USAspending.gov records $375,000,000 in Clean Energy Demonstrations (CFDA 81.255) obligations with place of performance in Texas 1st District (TX-01), across 1 awards. One clean-energy demonstration award equals about 5.4% of TX-01’s $6.90 billion district book — a single-row 81.255 file, not a plant census. That pair is Clean Energy Demonstrations and Texas 1st District (TX-01) — not Texas’s entire federal inflow, not Clean Energy Demonstrations nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 5.4% of this district’s published obligation total ($6,895,940,407.57). Implied average obligation is about $375,000,000 ($375,000,000 ÷ 1). Correlation is not causation.

What the Clean energy demo–TX-01 join reports
CFDA 81.255 and congressional district TX-01 meet here. $375,000,000 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Clean Energy Demonstrations’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Texas 1st District (TX-01), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split generation from storage demonstrations and does not name sites. 1 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a plant census, a megawatt inventory, or a named-developer file.
Dividing $375,000,000 by 1 yields about $375,000,000 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical project cost or a posted per-megawatt figure. 1 award against a $375.0 million demonstration cell is a single-row file. That one record is not a named developer. Sites remain unpublished. Do not treat TX-01’s 81.255 cell as a synonym for every Clean energy demo account nationwide. Open Texas 1st District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 81.255 for CFDA 81.255 without the TX-01 filter, Texas federal spending for every program in the Texas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $375,000,000.
CFDA 81.255 as the Clean energy demo catalog side
USAspending labels CFDA 81.255 as Clean Energy Demonstrations. That catalog number produced $375,000,000 when crossed with Texas 1st District (TX-01) place of performance. The program-wide 81.255 hub does not require TX-01 geography. The district hub does not require Clean energy demo. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 1 awards. The packet does not split generation from storage demonstrations and does not name sites.
Correlation is not causation: Texas 1st District (TX-01) did not “cause” $375,000,000 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 81.255 × TX-01 only. It is not a plant census, a megawatt inventory, or a named-developer file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
Texas 1st District (TX-01) as the geography side
Texas 1st District (TX-01) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list TX-01 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 81.255. Texas 1st District (TX-01) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 81.255. Texas 1st District (TX-01) is not Texas 22nd (Medicare HI), Texas 25th (R&D tech), or Texas 30th (Housing Choice Vouchers).
Texas federal spending shows how CFDA 81.255 sits beside other programs in the same state extract. $375,000,000 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split Texas 1st District (TX-01) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different CFDA stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Clean Energy Demonstrations. The district-wide obligation total published here is $6,895,940,407.57; $375,000,000 is the Clean energy demo slice of that denominator.
Obligations are commitments, not outlays
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $375,000,000 is that kind of sum for Clean Energy Demonstrations inside TX-01 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same CFDA rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $375,000,000 as given.
Texas’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1-row Clean energy demo cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 1 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 1 is not a count of plants, megawatts, or developers. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($375,000,000) is a concentration statistic, not a typical project cost or a posted per-megawatt figure.
How to cite Clean energy demo inside TX-01
Cite USAspending.gov: Clean Energy Demonstrations (CFDA 81.255) obligated $375,000,000 on 1 awards coded to Texas 1st District (TX-01). Name Clean Energy Demonstrations and Texas 1st District (TX-01) together. Keep the obligation word. If Texas 1st District or CFDA 81.255 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a plant census, a megawatt inventory, or a named-developer file. 5.4% of $6,895,940,407.57 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. R&D tech on Texas 25th uses CFDA 12.910, not 81.255. Do not merge those energy-adjacent catalogs into this demonstration join.
Keep Clean Energy Demonstrations, Texas 1st District (TX-01), $375,000,000, and 1 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. CFDA 81.255 is the 81.255 parent without a TX-01 filter. Texas federal spending is the Texas parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Clean energy demo does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
Reading a thin Clean energy demo file in TX-01
1 award against a $375.0 million demonstration cell is a single-row file. That one record is not a named developer. Sites remain unpublished. A large row count makes a project split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $375,000,000) and the district share (5.4% of $6,895,940,407.57) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 1st District and CFDA 81.255 if the live tables moved.
Do not rank Texas 1st District (TX-01) as more Clean energy demo-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 81.255 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 81.255 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $375,000,000 and 1 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
Questions
- How much Clean energy demo spending is coded to Texas 1st District (TX-01)?
- USAspending.gov lists $375,000,000 in Clean Energy Demonstrations obligations across 1 awards with place of performance in Texas 1st District (TX-01). CFDA 81.255 × TX-01 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Texas’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 5.4% of the district’s published total ($6,895,940,407.57). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $375,000,000, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $375,000,000 include every Clean energy demo project in TX-01?
- The packet publishes one CFDA rollup. The packet does not split generation from storage demonstrations and does not name sites. $375,000,000 is the combined obligation sum for CFDA 81.255 inside TX-01 coding. This page will not invent a project pie or name contractors. Open CFDA 81.255 and Texas 1st District to inspect parent tables. 1 remains an action count, not a count of plants, megawatts, or developers.
- Is $375,000,000 cash already paid in Texas 1st District (TX-01)?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $375,000,000 as checks already cleared in Texas 1st District (TX-01) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 1 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.
- Where is the live Clean energy demo–TX-01 table?
- Texas 1st District is the district parent and CFDA 81.255 is the program parent. Texas federal spending covers Texas without the district×program intersection as the headline. All spending ties lists other pairs. Those hubs are not addends. Keep both sides of the join when citing $375,000,000. Place of performance is TX-01. Obligations are not outlays.
USAspending.gov congressional district place-of-performance joined to CFDA program. Obligations are not outlays.
