Department of Energy federal obligations in Delaware

On USAspending.gov, Department of Energy obligations tagged to Delaware geography sum to $217,859,797.28. The extract counts 75 awards and does not publish a fiscal year. $2,904,797.30 is $217,859,797.28 ÷ 75, a ratio, not a typical energy, grid, or lab award.

Key figures

  • USAspending cell: DOE × Delaware = $217,859,797.28.
  • 75 records, about $2,904,797.30 each as a mean.
  • Outlays and fiscal-year splits are unpublished here.
  • Energy, grid, and laboratory folklore is labeled folklore because no program column exists here.
  • No contractor names in this packet; geography is statewide Delaware.

How DOE and Delaware meet in one table

$217,859,797.28 is not Department of Energy's national book with a Delaware footnote, and it is not Delaware's all-agency book with a DOE footnote. It is the intersection only. Coastal-plain, river-port, and capital-city folklore stays outside the numeric fields.

Do not convert 75 into labs or contractors. The field is awardCount. USAspending.gov award actions include new awards, modifications, and other recorded events. This page copies the count; it does not re-label it as people, campuses, or companies.

Reading 75 actions without a type split

A typical energy, grid, or lab award would need program and instrument fields. Those fields are absent. The honest caption is: 75 actions, $217,859,797.28 obligated, mean about $2,904,797.30, source USAspending.gov.

A short award list is a description of 75, not a quality judgment. Large or small lists can both be accurate extracts of the same two keys.

Hub pages are larger than this cell

The overlay path is /states/de/agencies/089/. That path already encodes both DE and agency 089. This ties slug exists so the same pair can be discussed as a relationship page rather than only as a filtered table.

Sibling DOE overlays in other states are separate cells. They do not have to sum with $217,859,797.28 to a national figure on this page, because no national figure is in the packet.

Keep the obligation word on every reuse

Voice on this packet says to lead with the dollar figure and to name USAspending.gov. It also says the page is a JOIN. Those three instructions are why $217,859,797.28 appears before any geography color.

The canonical path is /ties/department-of-energy-in-delaware/. The overlay target is /states/de/agencies/089/. Both describe the same pair: Department of Energy and Delaware.

Public records, not accusations

Energy, grid, and laboratory folklore is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Coastal-plain, river-port, and capital-city folklore is the same kind of unused path.

All spending ties lists other pairs. Visiting them does not change $217,859,797.28. Each join has its own extract. Do not claim that donations paid for $217,859,797.28 in Delaware. The source is USAspending.gov, not a campaign-finance file.

Index, overlay, and statewide hub

Place-of-performance Delaware is statewide; it does not split Wilmington, Dover, and Newark. Neighbor-coded work in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Maryland stays out.

If the live overlay later disagrees with $217,859,797.28 or 75, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $217,859,797.28, 75 awards, agency 089, Department of Energy, Delaware (DE), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $217,859,797.28. Department of Energy in Delaware remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Delaware is statewide; it does not split Wilmington, Dover, and Newark. Neighbor-coded activity in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Maryland stays out even if mail is handled in Wilmington. Correlation is not causation. Energy, grid, and laboratory folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Coastal-plain, river-port, and capital-city folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 089 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national DOE budget on this page. Delaware's $217,859,797.28 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of Energy and call the difference 'Delaware versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. Department of Energy is the awarding-agency label stored on the Delaware overlay; the numeric key is 089. Readers who only remember the short name DOE still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $217,859,797.28. The 75 figure is not a count of labs or contractors and is not a count of distinct DOE programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $2,904,797.30 is not a typical energy, grid, or lab award. Wilmington is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/de/agencies/089/ and canonicalPath /ties/department-of-energy-in-delaware/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar.
