Department of Energy federal obligations in Montana

Department 089 meeting Montana

Department of Energy as awarding agency, Montana as place-of-performance: 68 records summing to $246,999,954.02. A Department of Energy award coded outside MT is out. An award in Montana from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Montana (MT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota. A Billings-coded award with a Wyoming place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

68 awards against $246,999,954.02 is a 68-award energy file, mid-size in records against a $247.0 million cell. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 68 as 68 unique named facilities, megawatt figures, or well counts. Department of Energy in Montana is the both-keys table. Montana federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without an MT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named facilities, megawatt figures, and well counts stay unpublished. Neighboring-state energy overlays are other pairs, not addends. Correlation is not causation: Montana did not cause $246,999,954.02 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × MT only.

DOE is not a well-count census

$246,999,954.02 does not measure named facilities, megawatt figures, or well counts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 089 and an MT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 68 awards as a census of named facilities, megawatt figures, or well counts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Montana federal spending or Department of Energy matched $246,999,954.02 and 68, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state DOE joins are other pairs, not addends.

Montana, not a Billings-only tag

Place of performance MT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Montana (MT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota. A Kalispell-coded award with an Idaho place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $246,999,954.02 by city, county, or named facility. 68 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Sixty-eight obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $246,999,954.02 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Montana confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Montana’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 68 awards 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 $246,999,954.02. Sharing a geography with Department of Energy does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing Department of Energy in Montana

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Energy (agency 089) obligated $246,999,954.02 on 68 awards coded to Montana. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named facilities, megawatt figures, or well counts.

Prefer Department of Energy in Montana if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Montana federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MT. Department of Energy is the 089 parent without the MT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $246,999,954.02.

A usable footnote names Department of Energy, Montana, $246,999,954.02, and 68. The compact headline $247.0M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $3,632,352.27 is $246,999,954.02 divided by 68. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Energy dollars without a named-facility roster

Montana’s DOE overlay is 68 awards totaling $246,999,954.02. Named facilities, megawatt figures, and well counts stay unpublished. Neighboring-state energy overlays are other pairs, not addends. Adding parent hubs into $246,999,954.02 would invent a combined Montana total. Keep 089 × MT as the pair. No fiscal year is published in this packet. Keep the obligation label on $246,999,954.02. Unique recipients stay unpublished. FEC filings are a different dataset.

Questions

How much has Department of Energy obligated in Montana?

USAspending.gov records $246,999,954.02 across 68 awards with awarding agency 089 and a Montana tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Montana’s full federal book. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. The join is a catalog intersection, not a budget.

Does $247.0 million count Montana wells?

No. $246,999,954.02 is an obligation sum on awarding-agency 089 × MT. It does not measure named facilities, megawatt figures, or well counts. Those series are not fields on this aggregate. The join is a catalog intersection, not an outcome score. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Why does this Montana DOE file have 68 awards?

68 is an award-record count, including possible continuations and modifications. Dividing $246,999,954.02 by 68 yields about $3,632,352.27 as a mean, not a typical project and not a median. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent contractor names. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Where is the live table for Department of Energy in Montana?

Department of Energy in Montana is the overlay for both keys. Montana federal spending is the all-agency Montana hub. Department of Energy is the agency parent. All spending ties indexes other spending ties. Prefer the overlay when both filters must stay on.
