Department of Energy federal obligations in Ohio
USAspending.gov records $8,058,186,510.81 in Department of Energy obligations under awarding agency 089 with place of performance in Ohio, across 382 awards. Portsmouth, Piketon, Fernald, and Mound cleanup folklore — plus lab-adjacent Ohio work — is what readers bring to Energy in Ohio. This packet does not name a site or split environmental cleanup from research. The pair is Department of Energy and Ohio — not Ohio’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $21.09 million ($8,058,186,510.81 ÷ 382).

What the Energy–Ohio join is
Awarding agency 089 and place-of-performance state OH meet here. $8,058,186,510.81 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Energy’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Ohio, and not an outlay register. A thin Energy file is often a handful of large instruments plus modifications. The packet does not identify those instruments. Do not treat 382 as unique vendors.
382 is a thin award file: relatively few rows, so the mean is large and easy to misread as a typical grant. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $8,058,186,510.81 by 382 yields about $21.09 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.
Open Department of Energy in Ohio for the live filtered table, Ohio federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Energy for agency 089 without an Ohio filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,058,186,510.81.
Awarding agency 089 as the Energy side
USAspending labels awarding agency 089 as Department of Energy. That code produced $8,058,186,510.81 when crossed with Ohio place of performance. The agency-wide 089 hub does not require OH geography. The Ohio hub does not require Energy. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 382 awards.
Kilowatt-hours, a PUCO rate case, and a national-lab budget line are unpublished. 382 awards is the thinnest book in this slice, so the implied mean is very large. A second Energy slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Ohio’s 089 cell as a synonym for every Energy account.
Ohio as place of performance (OH)
Ohio on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Ohio residents. Awards can list OH while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, or Michigan stay on those ties. Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and the Ohio Valley share one OH stamp.
Ohio federal spending shows how agency 089 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $8,058,186,510.81 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Ohio by county, metro, or congressional district.
Obligations, not outlays
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,058,186,510.81 is that kind of sum for Department of Energy inside Ohio coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them.
Ohio’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 382-row Energy cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $8,058,186,510.81 as given. Treat 382 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Questions
- How much Energy spending is coded to Ohio?
- USAspending.gov lists $8,058,186,510.81 in Department of Energy obligations across 382 Ohio-coded awards. Agency 089 × OH is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Ohio’s complete federal ledger. Department of Energy in Ohio is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $21.09 million, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does this total include every Energy program in Ohio?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $8,058,186,510.81 is the combined obligation sum for agency 089 inside Ohio coding. Open Department of Energy in Ohio to inspect award lines. 382 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.
- Is $8,058,186,510.81 cash already paid in Ohio?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $8,058,186,510.81 as checks already cleared in Ohio confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 382 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
- Where is the live Energy–Ohio table?
- Department of Energy in Ohio is the overlay. Ohio federal spending and Department of Energy are the parents. All spending ties lists other agency-state pairs. Those hubs are not addends.
