Department of Energy federal obligations in Maine

The join, not a Maine ranking

$201,406,854.86 is a cell, not a trophy. USAspending.gov stores it at the intersection of Department of Energy (agency 089) and Maine place of performance. 54 awards accompany the dollar figure.

Readers looking for energy, grid, and laboratory folklore will still find only those two numbers. The packet has no program list, no NAICS column, and no recipient names.

Open Department of Energy in Maine for the filtered table, Maine federal spending for the next hub, Department of Energy for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

From 54 rows to $3,729,756.57

Per-award arithmetic is $201,406,854.86 divided by 54, about $3,729,756.57. High or low means describe the ratio, not the quality of Department of Energy work in Maine.

Because modifications add rows, 54 can grow without a matching increase in unique labs or contractors. Keep the field name: awardCount.

Mail in Portland is not a subtotal

Portland is the landmark most searchers know. This extract does not publish a Portland subtotal. The grain is statewide Maine, covering Portland, Bangor, and Augusta as unnamed parts of ME.

Neighbor-coded activity in New Hampshire belongs on other overlays. Do not fold it into $201,406,854.86.

Commitments versus payments

Obligations record commitments. Outlays record payments. This page's $201,406,854.86 is the first of those two. Mixing them produces a false cash story.

Cancellations and recoveries would also change a cash story. They are not packet facts. Leave them off quotations of $201,406,854.86.

No FEC dollars in this cell

Campaign contributions do not fund $201,406,854.86. The source is USAspending.gov. FEC files that share a place name remain a different dataset.

The page also does not rank Maine against other states. $201,406,854.86 stands alone as the Department of Energy × Maine join.

Paths that keep $201,406,854.86 attached to both sides

Use Department of Energy in Maine to inspect rows. Use Maine federal spending for the all-agency Maine hub. Use Department of Energy for agency 089 without geography. Use All spending ties for other pairs.

If the live overlay later disagrees with $201,406,854.86 or 54, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $201,406,854.86, 54 awards, agency 089, Department of Energy, Maine (ME), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $201,406,854.86. Department of Energy in Maine remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Maine is statewide; it does not split Portland, Bangor, and Augusta. Neighbor-coded activity in New Hampshire stays out even if mail is handled in Portland. 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. Downeast, mill-town, 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. Maine's $201,406,854.86 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of Energy and call the difference 'Maine 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 Maine 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 $201,406,854.86. The 54 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 $3,729,756.57 is not a typical energy, grid, or lab award. Portland is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/me/agencies/089/ and canonicalPath /ties/department-of-energy-in-maine/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. Repeat the pair before any reuse: Department of Energy in Maine. Repeat the source: USAspending.gov. Repeat the unit: obligations, not outlays. The overlay path /states/me/agencies/089/ and the canonical path /ties/department-of-energy-in-maine/ describe the same join. Internal links stay limited to the four packet hrefs. No other URL is added. No recipient, contractor, or donor name is invented to fill space. The facts remain the dollar total, the award count, the agency code, the agency name, the state name, and the state code.
