Department of Energy federal obligations in Georgia

Energy awards tagged to Georgia

Department of Energy as awarding agency, Georgia as place-of-performance: 307 records summing to $1,491,871,253.58. A Department of Energy award coded outside GA is out. An award in Georgia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Georgia (GA) excludes Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, and North Carolina. A South Carolina-coded award is SC even if the site sits on the Savannah River.

Three hundred seven records against $1,491,871,253.58 is a thin-to-mid Energy file, not a thick assistance flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 307 as 307 unique megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. The overlay Department of Energy in Georgia is the both-keys table. Georgia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without a GA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Do not add this cell to a South Carolina Energy total. They are different place-of-performance keys. Correlation is not causation: Georgia did not cause $1,491,871,253.58 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × GA only.

Savannah River folklore is a different geography

$1,491,871,253.58 does not measure megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 089 and a GA place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 307 awards as a census of megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Georgia federal spending or Department of Energy matched $1,491,871,253.58 and 307, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. South Carolina, Alabama, and Florida Energy joins are other pairs, not addends.

Georgia statewide, not an Atlanta-campus map

Place of performance GA is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Georgia (GA) excludes Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee, and North Carolina. A South Carolina-coded award is SC even if the site sits on the Savannah River. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Do not add this cell to a South Carolina Energy total. They are different place-of-performance keys. This packet does not split $1,491,871,253.58 by city, county, or named facility. 307 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Few rows, still commitments

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,491,871,253.58 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Georgia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Georgia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 307-award 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 $1,491,871,253.58.

How to cite Energy in Georgia

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Energy (agency 089) obligated $1,491,871,253.58 on 307 awards coded to Georgia. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects.

Prefer Department of Energy in Georgia if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Georgia federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to GA. Department of Energy is the 089 parent without the GA filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,491,871,253.58.

A usable footnote names Department of Energy, Georgia, $1,491,871,253.58, and 307. The compact headline $1.49 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $4.86 million is $1,491,871,253.58 divided by 307. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Questions

How much has the Department of Energy obligated in Georgia?

USAspending.gov records $1,491,871,253.58 across 307 awards with awarding agency 089 and a Georgia tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. Department of Energy in Georgia is the live overlay for this pair. Keep both keys when quoting $1,491,871,253.58.

Is $1,491,871,253.58 a measure of megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects?

No. The packet publishes $1,491,871,253.58 and 307 awards for agency 089 inside GA coding. Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished. Quote the dollar total and the award count together. Obligations are not outlays.

Why does this Energy file have 307 awards?

That is the award-record count for 089 × GA. Combined with $1,491,871,253.58, the average is about $4.86 million. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 307 is not unique megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. Later ingests can revise the count. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
