Department of Energy federal obligations in Connecticut

Agency 089 overlapping Connecticut

Department of Energy as awarding agency, Connecticut as place-of-performance: 173 awards summing to $527,616,892.96. A Department of Energy award coded outside CT is out. An award in Connecticut from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Connecticut (CT) excludes New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. A Groton-coded award with a New York place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

173 awards against $527,616,892.96 is a 173-award energy file, not a campus roster. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 173 as 173 unique megawatts, named labs, or plant inventories. Department of Energy in Connecticut is the both-keys table. Connecticut federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without a CT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named laboratories and naval-nuclear folklore are unpublished. Do not invent contractors. Treasury 020 and Energy 089 Connecticut pages are different awarding-agency codes. Correlation is not causation: Connecticut did not cause $527,616,892.96 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × CT only.

An Energy cell is not a lab directory

$527,616,892.96 does not measure megawatts, named labs, or plant inventories. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 089 and an CT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 173 awards as a census of megawatts, named labs, or plant inventories. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Connecticut federal spending or Department of Energy matched $527,616,892.96 and 173, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOE joins are other pairs, not addends.

Connecticut, not a shoreline-only map

Place of performance CT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Connecticut (CT) excludes New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. A Groton-coded award with a New York place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $527,616,892.96 by city, county, or named facility. 173 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

One hundred seventy-three obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $527,616,892.96 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Connecticut confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Connecticut’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 173 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $527,616,892.96.

Citing Energy in Connecticut

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Energy (agency 089) obligated $527,616,892.96 on 173 awards coded to Connecticut. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as megawatts, named labs, or plant inventories.

Prefer Department of Energy in Connecticut if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Connecticut federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to CT. Department of Energy is the 089 parent without the CT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $527,616,892.96.

A usable footnote names Department of Energy, Connecticut, $527,616,892.96, and 173. The compact headline $527.6M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $3,049,808.63 is $527,616,892.96 divided by 173. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
