Department of Energy federal obligations in Rhode Island

Awarding agency Department of Energy (code 089) lists $197,186,401.72 in Rhode Island place-of-performance obligations. 74 actions sit behind that total on USAspending.gov. This page is a JOIN: drop either side and the number is no longer $197,186,401.72.

Key figures

  • USAspending cell: DOE × Rhode Island = $197,186,401.72.
  • 74 records, about $2,664,681.10 each as a mean.
  • Outlays and fiscal-year splits are unpublished here.
  • Lab-site, transmission, and research-office folklore stays outside the numeric fields.
  • No contractor names in this packet; geography is statewide Rhode Island.

The 089 overlay inside Rhode Island

A state-agency tie exists because two tables meet. Here the tables are Department of Energy (code 089) and Rhode Island (RI). $197,186,401.72 is what remains after both filters. Energy, grid, and laboratory folklore can explain a search query; it cannot rewrite the cell.

74 rows produced $197,186,401.72. The mean of about $2,664,681.10 follows from division. High means often mark a few large instruments; low means often mark many small rows. This packet publishes neither a breakdown by award type nor a list of unique labs.

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

The mean on a DOE–Rhode Island overlay

$197,186,401.72 divided by 74 equals about $2,664,681.10. That sentence uses every numeric fact the packet allows for a per-award figure. It does not authorize a contractor roster, a CFDA list, or a fiscal-year split.

Do not subtract $197,186,401.72 from a remembered national DOE total and call the difference 'Rhode Island versus everywhere else.' This packet has no national total.

Place of performance is statewide Rhode Island

Place-of-performance Rhode Island is statewide; it does not split Providence, Warwick, and Newport. Neighbor-coded activity in Connecticut or Massachusetts stays out even if mail is handled in Providence.

Providence can appear in search queries without appearing as a dollar field. Keep $197,186,401.72 attached to Rhode Island, not to a single city.

Payments and recoveries live elsewhere

Outlays, recoveries, and cancellations are different concepts. None of them is a packet fact here. The published unit for $197,186,401.72 is obligations.

A modification that reduces an earlier obligation still counts as an award action in many extracts. That is another reason 74 is not unique labs.

Correlation is not causation on a state-agency tie

This page is not a ranking of states and not a ranking of agencies. $197,186,401.72 is a cell value. Neighbor cells are other files. They are not winners or losers.

The voice constraint is neutral. This file does not call the spending wasteful or essential. It reports $197,186,401.72 and 74 and the two keys that produced them. DOE obligations in Rhode Island and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them with $197,186,401.72.

What to reuse and what to leave out

The overlay, the statewide hub, the agency hub, and the ties index are the four hrefs this packet allows. They are Department of Energy in Rhode Island, Rhode Island federal spending, Department of Energy, and All spending ties.

Place-of-performance Rhode Island is statewide; it does not split Providence, Warwick, and Newport. Neighbor-coded activity in Connecticut or Massachusetts stays out even if mail is handled in Providence. 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. Bay, mill-city, and shoreline 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. Rhode Island's $197,186,401.72 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of Energy and call the difference 'Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island 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 $197,186,401.72. The 74 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 $2,664,681.10 is not a typical energy, grid, or lab award. Providence is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/ri/agencies/089/ and canonicalPath /ties/department-of-energy-in-rhode-island/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $197,186,401.72 or 74, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $197,186,401.72, 74 awards, agency 089, Department of Energy, Rhode Island (RI), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $197,186,401.72. Department of Energy in Rhode Island remains the place to verify the live rows.
