Clean Energy Demonstrations awarded by the Department of Energy
USAspending.gov records $3,602,789,543.84 in Clean Energy Demonstrations obligations awarded by the Department of Energy. That figure sits on CFDA 81.255 joined to toptier 089 and matches the program-wide published total of $3,602,789,543.84. The table is a program-and-agency join, not a list of demonstration sites and not cash already paid. Seventy-seven award records back the cell; they are not 77 named contractors.

What the 81.255–Energy pair is
Clean Energy Demonstrations and the Department of Energy meet in one assistance-program cell. $3,602,789,543.84 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum tagged to CFDA 81.255 with awarding agency 089. It is not an outlay, not a kilowatt-hour ledger, and not every Energy dollar in the extract. Other Department of Energy programs remain on the agency hub. Other CFDA rows remain on the program index. Only this intersection is reported here.
A demonstration total is easy to misread as a roster of plants, pilots, or primes. This packet does not name sites, technologies, or recipients. A reader who assigns $3,602,789,543.84 to a single project or a single contractor adds a label the facts do not carry. Correlation with energy-news headlines is not causation.
The program total beside agency 089
On this extract the Clean Energy Demonstrations book is $3,602,789,543.84, and the Energy-awarded slice is $3,602,789,543.84 — the same published program-wide total. The CFDA 81.255 hub at /programs/81.255/ is the parent without an awarding-agency filter, though here the two published totals match. The Department of Energy hub at /agencies/089/ is the parent without a 81.255 filter. Adding either parent into this join would double-count.
Agency 089 still awards other CFDA lines. CFDA 81.255 still belongs on the All programs index at /programs/ next to unrelated assistance codes. All spending ties at /ties/ lists other program-agency pairs. Quote both keys: Clean Energy Demonstrations and the Department of Energy.
Seventy-seven records are not 77 demonstration plants
77 is the award-record count on this Clean Energy Demonstrations × Energy join. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding vendors. This page does not divide $3,602,789,543.84 by 77 and call the ratio a typical demonstration invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Place-of-performance is unpublished.
What the Energy demonstration join omits
The packet has no outlay total, no NAICS split, no state map, and no named primes. It does not rank technologies or sites. FEC donation tables are a different dataset and do not fund these USAspending obligations. Cite $3,602,789,543.84 as CFDA 81.255 obligations awarded by agency 089, not as money already spent on a listed facility.
