Department of Energy federal obligations in Indiana

Energy awards tagged to Indiana

Department of Energy as awarding agency, Indiana as place-of-performance: 205 records summing to $1,496,068,906.37. A Department of Energy award coded outside IN is out. An award in Indiana from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Indiana (IN) excludes Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky. A Chicago-coded award is Illinois even if a site sits on the lake.

Two hundred five records against $1,496,068,906.37 is a thin Energy file. Fiscal vehicles can mint few rows with large dollars. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 205 as 205 unique megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. The overlay Department of Energy in Indiana is the both-keys table. Indiana federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without an IN filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named labs and utilities are unpublished. Assigning $1,496,068,906.37 to a single site is a new extract. Correlation is not causation: Indiana did not cause $1,496,068,906.37 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × IN only.

Not a plant census or grid map

$1,496,068,906.37 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 an IN place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 205 awards as a census of megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Indiana federal spending or Department of Energy matched $1,496,068,906.37 and 205, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Illinois, Ohio, and Kentucky Energy joins are other pairs, not addends.

Indiana, not a Chicago-industrial rollup

Place of performance IN is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Indiana (IN) excludes Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky. A Chicago-coded award is Illinois even if a site sits on the lake. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Named labs and utilities are unpublished. Assigning $1,496,068,906.37 to a single site is a new extract. This packet does not split $1,496,068,906.37 by city, county, or named facility. 205 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Lab-style dollars still record obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,496,068,906.37 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Indiana confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Indiana’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 205-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 $1,496,068,906.37.

Citing Energy in Indiana

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Energy (agency 089) obligated $1,496,068,906.37 on 205 awards coded to Indiana. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects.

Prefer Department of Energy in Indiana if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Indiana federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to IN. Department of Energy is the 089 parent without the IN filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,496,068,906.37.

A usable footnote names Department of Energy, Indiana, $1,496,068,906.37, and 205. The compact headline $1.50 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $7.30 million is $1,496,068,906.37 divided by 205. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
