Department of Energy obligations in California 12th District (CA-12)

Department of Energy and California 12th District (CA-12) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 089 and congressional district CA-12 meet here. $16,575,361,343.69 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Energy’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to California 12th District (CA-12), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DOE program offices, sites, or contract versus assistance instruments. 137 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a laboratory roster, a site inventory, a megawatt total, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $16,575,361,343.69 by 137 yields about $120,988,039.01 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 137 awards against a sixteen-billion-dollar Energy cell is a thin-to-moderate file: the implied mean is pulled up by size, not by a published typical award. Do not treat CA-12’s 089 cell as a synonym for every Energy account nationwide. Open California 12th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Energy for agency 089 without the CA-12 filter, California federal spending for every awarding agency in the California extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $16,575,361,343.69.

How USAspending labels Department of Energy

USAspending labels awarding agency 089 as Department of Energy. That code produced $16,575,361,343.69 when crossed with California 12th District (CA-12) place of performance. The agency-wide 089 hub does not require CA-12 geography. The district hub does not require Energy. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 137 awards. The packet does not split DOE program offices, sites, or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: California 12th District (CA-12) did not “cause” $16,575,361,343.69 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 089 × CA-12 only. It is not a laboratory roster, a site inventory, a megawatt total, or a named-contractor 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.

Geography is CA-12, not a facility map

California 12th District (CA-12) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CA-12 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other California districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 089. California 12th District (CA-12) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside California. Other California districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 089. California 12th District (CA-12) is one numbered geography among California’s many districts. Neighboring California districts are not this join, even when the same awarding-agency code appears elsewhere.

California federal spending shows how agency 089 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $16,575,361,343.69 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split California 12th District (CA-12) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Energy. The district-wide obligation total published here is $23,541,852,476.74; $16,575,361,343.69 is the Energy slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $16,575,361,343.69 is that kind of sum for Department of Energy inside CA-12 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 awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $16,575,361,343.69 as given.

Keeping both sides of the 089 × CA-12 pair

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Energy (agency 089) obligated $16,575,361,343.69 on 137 awards coded to California 12th District (CA-12).

If California 12th District or Department of Energy has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a laboratory roster, a site inventory, a megawatt total, or a named-contractor file. 70.4% of $23,541,852,476.74 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Share, mean, and what they are not

137 awards against a sixteen-billion-dollar Energy cell is a thin-to-moderate file: the implied mean is pulled up by size, not by a published typical award. A large row count makes a program 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 $120,988,039.01) and the district share (70.4% of $23,541,852,476.74) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer California 12th District and Department of Energy if the live tables moved.

Do not rank California 12th District (CA-12) as more Energy-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 089 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 089 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $16,575,361,343.69 and 137 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much Energy spending is coded to California 12th District (CA-12)?

USAspending.gov lists $16,575,361,343.69 in Department of Energy obligations across 137 awards with place of performance in California 12th District (CA-12). Agency 089 × CA-12 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not California’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 70.4% of the district’s published total ($23,541,852,476.74). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $120,988,039.01, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $16,575,361,343.69 include every Energy program in CA-12?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split DOE program offices, sites, or contract versus assistance instruments. $16,575,361,343.69 is the combined obligation sum for agency 089 inside CA-12 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of Energy and California 12th District to inspect parent tables. 137 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $16,575,361,343.69 cash already paid in California 12th District (CA-12)?

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 $16,575,361,343.69 as checks already cleared in California 12th District (CA-12) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 137 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

How does this Energy cell relate to California statewide spending?

California federal spending is the California statewide extract across awarding agencies. $16,575,361,343.69 is the Department of Energy amount inside California 12th District (CA-12) only, not the statewide Energy total. Adding California federal spending to $16,575,361,343.69 double-counts. Agency 089 nationwide lives on Department of Energy. This join is 089 × CA-12.
