Department of Energy obligations in Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12)
$9,618,973,751.27 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum for awarding agency 089 (Department of Energy) inside Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12), on 143 award records. One hundred forty-three Energy-coded awards equal about three-tenths of PA-12’s district obligation total, a large Energy column that does not dominate the Pennsylvania 12th mix the way NV-03’s Energy cell dominates its district. That pair is Department of Energy and Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) — not Pennsylvania’s entire federal inflow, not Department of Energy nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 29.5% of this district’s published obligation total ($32,614,970,959.69). Implied average obligation is about $67,265,550.71 ($9,618,973,751.27 ÷ 143). Correlation is not causation.

Department of Energy and Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) as a USAspending pair
Awarding agency 089 and congressional district PA-12 meet here. $9,618,973,751.27 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 Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DOE program offices, sites, or contract versus assistance instruments. 143 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a laboratory roster, a site inventory, a megawatt total, or a named-contractor file.
Dividing $9,618,973,751.27 by 143 yields about $67,265,550.71 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 143 awards is a moderate Energy file. Share near thirty percent means other awarding agencies still hold the majority of the published district total. Do not treat PA-12’s 089 cell as a synonym for every Energy account nationwide. Open Pennsylvania 12th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of Energy for agency 089 without the PA-12 filter, Pennsylvania federal spending for every awarding agency in the Pennsylvania extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $9,618,973,751.27.
How USAspending labels Department of Energy
USAspending labels awarding agency 089 as Department of Energy. That code produced $9,618,973,751.27 when crossed with Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) place of performance. The agency-wide 089 hub does not require PA-12 geography. The district hub does not require Energy. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 143 awards. The packet does not split DOE program offices, sites, or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) did not “cause” $9,618,973,751.27 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 089 × PA-12 only. It is not a laboratory roster, a site inventory, a megawatt total, or a named-contractor file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
Geography is PA-12, not a facility map
Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list PA-12 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Pennsylvania districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 089. Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Pennsylvania. Other Pennsylvania districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 089. Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) is a numbered place-of-performance geography inside Pennsylvania. Other Pennsylvania districts keep separate agency joins.
Pennsylvania federal spending shows how agency 089 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $9,618,973,751.27 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Energy. The district-wide obligation total published here is $32,614,970,959.69; $9,618,973,751.27 is the Energy slice of that denominator.
Commitment totals versus cash paid
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $9,618,973,751.27 is that kind of sum for Department of Energy inside PA-12 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. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $9,618,973,751.27 as given.
Keeping both sides of the 089 × PA-12 pair
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Energy (agency 089) obligated $9,618,973,751.27 on 143 awards coded to Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12). Name Department of Energy and Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) together. Keep the obligation word. If Pennsylvania 12th District or Department of Energy has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a laboratory roster, a site inventory, a megawatt total, or a named-contractor file. 29.5% of $32,614,970,959.69 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Share, mean, and what they are not
143 awards is a moderate Energy file. Share near thirty percent means other awarding agencies still hold the majority of the published district total. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $67,265,550.71) and the district share (29.5% of $32,614,970,959.69) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Pennsylvania 12th District and Department of Energy if the live tables moved.
Do not rank Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12) as more Energy-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 089 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 089 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $9,618,973,751.27 and 143 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

- Is $9,618,973,751.27 cash already paid in Pennsylvania 12th District (PA-12)?
