Department of Energy federal obligations in District of Columbia
USAspending.gov records $7,975,363,133.94 in Department of Energy obligations under awarding agency 089 with place of performance in District of Columbia, across 1,861 awards. Energy headquarters sits in the District, and readers often treat a DC Energy cell as the national DOE budget. Place of performance in the District is not agency 089 nationwide. The pair is Department of Energy and District of Columbia — not District of Columbia’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $4.29 million ($7,975,363,133.94 ÷ 1,861).

What the Energy–District of Columbia join is
Awarding agency 089 and place-of-performance state DC meet here. $7,975,363,133.94 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 District of Columbia, and not an outlay register. Headquarters awards, grants, and other 089 instruments can share this cell. The packet does not split them. Do not treat 1,861 as unique vendors.
1,861 is a thin award file: relatively few rows, so the mean is large and easy to misread as a typical grant. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $7,975,363,133.94 by 1,861 yields about $4.29 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.
Open Department of Energy in District of Columbia for the live filtered table, District of Columbia federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Energy for agency 089 without a District of Columbia filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $7,975,363,133.94.
Awarding agency 089 as the Energy side
USAspending labels awarding agency 089 as Department of Energy. That code produced $7,975,363,133.94 when crossed with District of Columbia place of performance. The agency-wide 089 hub does not require DC geography. The District of Columbia hub does not require Energy. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 1,861 awards.
Kilowatt-hours, a Pepco rate case, and a national-lab line are unpublished. 1,861 awards is thicker than Ohio’s 382-row Energy book in this slice; thickness is not a site list. A second Energy slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat District of Columbia’s 089 cell as a synonym for every Energy account.
District of Columbia as place of performance (DC)
District of Columbia on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to District of Columbia residents. Awards can list DC while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Maryland or Virginia stay on those ties even when the office is in the federal core. The District of Columbia is the geography key; do not fold suburban MD or VA into DC.
District of Columbia federal spending shows how agency 089 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $7,975,363,133.94 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split District of Columbia by county, metro, or congressional district.
Obligations, not outlays
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $7,975,363,133.94 is that kind of sum for Department of Energy inside District of Columbia 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.
District of Columbia’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1,861-row Energy cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $7,975,363,133.94 as given. Treat 1,861 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.
