Department of Energy federal obligations in FY2024

Energy × FY2024 is a yearly-trend join, not a lab census

Department of Energy as awarding agency 089, fiscal year 2024: the yearly-trend amount is $715,156,961,187.81. The pair is awarding-agency 089 crossed with fiscal year 2024 on USAspending.gov yearlyTrend amounts, not a national-lab inventory and not every Energy dollar in every year. Treat the pair as a year intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that the agency award-count field equals that many laboratories, unique contractors, or named Energy sites. A Department of Energy amount tagged to a different fiscal year is out of this cell.

Other fiscal-year cells for Energy, if present, are separate yearly-trend joins. Correlation between this obligation sum and mission outcomes is not causation. Those outcomes are not in the packet. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell. Department of Energy is the agency parent. FY2024 federal spending is the government-wide FY2024 hub. All agencies lists awarding agencies. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

The FY2024 cell beside Energy’s agency book

The agency extract lists 17,651 awards beside a $734.09 billion agency obligation book. That award count is the agency packet field, not a published FY2024-only row count. Do not divide $715,156,961,187.81 by 17,651 and call the quotient a typical FY2024 award. The packet does not publish a FY-only award count. Award count on this extract is the agency field, including possible orders and modifications across the agency book.

Named laboratories and award recipients are unpublished. Do not treat 17,651 as 17,651 unique Energy contractors. The $715,156,961,187.81 total remains an obligation rollup on the FY2024 trend cell. The Department of Energy’s full awarding-agency book is $734,091,874,676.57; mixing other years into $715,156,961,187.81 invents a roll-up the yearly-trend packet never computed.

FY2024 Energy dollars are commitments, not outlays

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $715,156,961,187.81 headline is the FY2024 obligation sum, not Energy work already paid in FY2024. Citing the figure as cash already sent in FY2024 confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year.

Named laboratories and award recipients are unpublished. Do not treat 17,651 as 17,651 unique Energy contractors. Unique recipients are unpublished. Keep the obligation label on $715,156,961,187.81. FEC filings and USAspending awards are different datasets.

What the Energy–FY2024 extract omits

The extract has no roster of laboratories, unique contractors, or named Energy sites. Facts remain $715,156,961,187.81 for FY2024, agency parent $734,091,874,676.57, 17,651 agency awards, and Department of Energy (agency 089). This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling fiscal-year joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Other fiscal-year cells for Energy, if present, are separate yearly-trend joins.

Department of Energy places agency 089 among other awarding agencies. FY2024 federal spending is the government-wide FY2024 shelf. All agencies is the agency index. All spending ties indexes other agency × year pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of the Department of Energy’s full awarding-agency book the packet never computed. The $715,156,961,187.81 figure is the tagged year only.

Citing Department of Energy in FY2024

A clean footnote names Department of Energy (agency 089), FY2024, $715,156,961,187.81 in obligations, and the agency award-count field 17,651 on USAspending.gov. Keep the obligation word. Do not relabel 17,651 as a FY2024-only project count. Quote Department of Energy if you need the agency without a year filter, and quote FY2024 federal spending if you need every awarding agency in FY2024. Seventeen thousand six hundred fifty-one agency awards sit beside the parent book $734,091,874,676.57. Inspect named award lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring inventories the packet omitted.

Questions

How much did Department of Energy obligate in FY2024?

USAspending.gov shows $715,156,961,187.81 in obligations for awarding agency 089 on the FY2024 yearly-trend cell. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the Department of Energy’s full awarding-agency book. Other fiscal years are outside this join unless they also carry FY2024.

Do 17,651 awards equal 17,651 FY2024 Energy projects?

No. The packet publishes 17,651 as the agency award-count field, not as a FY2024-only project census. It is not a count of laboratories, unique contractors, or named Energy sites. The packet does not name recipients. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. Keep both sides of the join in the citation.

Is this the Department of Energy’s full awarding-agency book?

No. The join is awarding agency 089 crossed with FY2024. The agency parent in this packet is $734,091,874,676.57. Related years are not inside $715,156,961,187.81. Other fiscal-year cells for Energy, if present, are separate yearly-trend joins.

Is the FY2024 Energy total already paid?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $715,156,961,187.81 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. FY figures can be incomplete for the current year. Completed activity is unpublished here.
