USAspending.gov records $2,658,673,808.65 across 201 awards with awarding agency 089 and a New Jersey tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a count of lab employees, megawatts, or named national laboratories. Department of Energy in New Jersey is the live overlay for this pair. Keep both keys when quoting $2,658,673,808.65.

Is $2,658,673,808.65 a measure of lab employees, megawatts, or named national laboratories?

No. The packet publishes $2,658,673,808.65 and 201 awards for agency 089 inside NJ 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 Those other series are unpublished here. Unique recipients are unpublished.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 DOE file have 201 awards?

That is the award-record count for 089 × NJ. Combined with $2,658,673,808.65, the average is about $13.23 million. Modifications and repeat instruments add rows. 201 is not unique lab employees, megawatts, or named national laboratories. Later ingests can revise the count. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.

Where is the live table?

Department of Energy in New Jersey is the overlay. New Jersey federal spending and Department of Energy are the parents, not addends. All spending ties lists other pairs. Keep both sides of the join when citing $2,658,673,808.65. USAspending.gov is the source. Obligations are not outlays.

Department of Energy federal obligations in New Jersey

The Department of Energy shows $2,658,673,808.65 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to New Jersey, across 201 awards. Awarding-agency 089 and New Jersey (NJ) are the pair. Two hundred one awards is a very thin Energy file. A large implied mean is what few rows do to a multi-billion dollar numerator. The implied mean is about $13.23 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

A very thin Energy file on a New Jersey tag

Department of Energy as awarding agency, New Jersey as place-of-performance: 201 records summing to $2,658,673,808.65. A Department of Energy award coded outside NJ is out. An award in New Jersey from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Jersey (NJ) excludes New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. A New York City-coded award is NY even if a New Jersey utility appears in folklore.

Two hundred one awards is a very thin Energy file. A large implied mean is what few rows do to a multi-billion dollar numerator. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 201 as 201 unique lab employees, megawatts, or named national laboratories. The overlay Department of Energy in New Jersey is the both-keys table. New Jersey federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without an NJ filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Princeton-area lab folklore is unpublished. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not treat 201 as unique facilities. Correlation is not causation: New Jersey did not “cause” $2,658,673,808.65 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × NJ only.

Not a lab-headcount or megawatt series

$2,658,673,808.65 does not measure lab employees, megawatts, or named national laboratories. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 089 and an NJ place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 201 awards as a census of lab employees, megawatts, or named national laboratories. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Jersey federal spending or Department of Energy matched $2,658,673,808.65 and 201, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New York and Pennsylvania Energy joins are other pairs, not addends.

New Jersey is not a Mid-Atlantic lab map

Place of performance NJ is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New Jersey (NJ) excludes New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. A New York City-coded award is NY even if a New Jersey utility appears in folklore. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Princeton-area lab folklore is unpublished. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not treat 201 as unique facilities. This packet does not split $2,658,673,808.65 by city, county, or named facility. 201 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Few rows, large mean, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $2,658,673,808.65 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New Jersey confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New Jersey’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 201-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 $2,658,673,808.65.

Citing Energy in New Jersey

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Energy (agency 089) obligated $2,658,673,808.65 on 201 awards coded to New Jersey. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as lab employees, megawatts, or named national laboratories.

Prefer Department of Energy in New Jersey if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New Jersey federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NJ. Department of Energy is the 089 parent without the NJ filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,658,673,808.65.

A usable footnote names Department of Energy, New Jersey, $2,658,673,808.65, and 201. The compact headline $2.66 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $13.23 million is $2,658,673,808.65 divided by 201. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
