Department of Energy federal obligations in Colorado

What the Energy–Colorado join is

Awarding agency 089 and place-of-performance state CO meet here. $12,467,686,590.60 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 Colorado, and not an outlay register. Energy, science, environmental-cleanup, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 089. The packet does not name laboratories, plants, or grid operators. 1,029 is a relatively thin action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $12,467,686,590.60 by 1,029 yields about $12.12 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line, and it is not a kilowatt-hour total, not a laboratory census, and not a grid reliability score. A second Energy slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Colorado’s 089 cell as a synonym for every Energy account.

Open Department of Energy in Colorado for the live filtered table, Colorado federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Energy for agency 089 without a Colorado filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $12,467,686,590.60.

Awarding agency 089 as the Energy side

USAspending labels awarding agency 089 as Department of Energy. That code produced $12,467,686,590.60 when crossed with Colorado place of performance. The agency-wide 089 hub does not require CO geography. The Colorado hub does not require Energy. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 1,029 awards.

This page reports energy awarding activity that USAspending coded to Colorado. Correlation is not causation: Colorado did not “cause” $12,467,686,590.60 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 089 × CO only. Energy, science, environmental-cleanup, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 089. The packet does not name laboratories, plants, or grid operators.

Colorado as place of performance (CO)

Colorado on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Colorado residents. Awards can list CO while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Utah, or Arizona belong on those ties even when a Front Range or energy-corridor story is the same. Denver, Colorado Springs, and the rest of the counties share one CO stamp. Place of performance is CO, not a county map.

Colorado federal spending shows how agency 089 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $12,467,686,590.60 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Colorado by county, metro, or congressional district. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Energy.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $12,467,686,590.60 is that kind of sum for Department of Energy inside Colorado 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.

Colorado’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1,029-row Energy cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $12,467,686,590.60 as given. Treat 1,029 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.

How to cite Energy in Colorado

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Energy (agency 089) obligated $12,467,686,590.60 on 1,029 awards coded to Colorado. Name Department of Energy and Colorado together. Keep the obligation word.

Keep Department of Energy, Colorado, $12,467,686,590.60, and 1,029 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Energy is the 089 parent without a Colorado filter. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a state with Energy 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 Energy file in Colorado

1,029 is a relatively thin action file: fewer rows against $12,467,686,590.60. A small row count makes the implied mean (about $12.12 million) sensitive to one large restatement. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,029 as 1,029 unique projects, facilities, or contractors. One award can dominate the average; the packet has no median and no top-award list.

Thin is not empty. $12,467,686,590.60 is still the obligation sum for agency 089 inside Colorado coding. Do not fill the gap with named sites the facts do not carry. Prefer Department of Energy in Colorado if the live table moved.

Questions

How much Energy spending is coded to Colorado?

USAspending.gov lists $12,467,686,590.60 in Department of Energy obligations across 1,029 Colorado-coded awards. Agency 089 × CO is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Colorado’s complete federal ledger. Department of Energy in Colorado is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $12.12 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every Energy program in Colorado?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. Energy, science, environmental-cleanup, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 089. The packet does not name laboratories, plants, or grid operators. $12,467,686,590.60 is the combined obligation sum for agency 089 inside Colorado coding. This page will not invent a program pie. Open Department of Energy in Colorado to inspect award lines. 1,029 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $12,467,686,590.60 cash already paid in Colorado?

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 $12,467,686,590.60 as checks already cleared in Colorado confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 1,029 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
