Department of Energy federal obligations in South Dakota

How DOE and South Dakota meet in one table

$316,051,760.50 is not Department of Energy's national book with a South Dakota footnote, and it is not South Dakota's all-agency book with a DOE footnote. It is the intersection only. Prairie, black hills, and missouri river folklore stays outside the numeric fields.

Do not convert 171 into unique labs or contractors. The field is awardCount. USAspending.gov award actions include new awards, modifications, and other recorded events. This page copies the count; it does not re-label it as people, campuses, or companies.

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

Reading 171 actions without a type split

A typical energy, grid, or lab award would need program and instrument fields. Those fields are absent. The honest caption is: 171 actions, $316,051,760.50 obligated, mean about $1,848,255.91, source USAspending.gov.

A mid-size award list is a description of 171, not a quality judgment. Large or small lists can both be accurate extracts of the same two keys.

Hub pages are larger than this cell

The overlay path is /states/sd/agencies/089/. That path already encodes both SD and agency 089. This ties slug exists so the same pair can be discussed as a relationship page rather than only as a filtered table.

Sibling DOE overlays in other states are separate cells. They do not have to sum with $316,051,760.50 to a national figure on this page, because no national figure is in the packet.

Keep the obligation word on every reuse

Voice on this packet says to lead with the dollar figure and to name USAspending.gov. It also says the page is a JOIN. Those three instructions are why $316,051,760.50 appears before any geography color.

The canonical path is /ties/department-of-energy-in-south-dakota/. The overlay target is /states/sd/agencies/089/. Both describe the same pair: Department of Energy and South Dakota.

Public records, not accusations

Energy, grid, and laboratory folklore is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Prairie, black hills, and missouri river folklore is the same kind of unused path.

All spending ties lists other pairs. Visiting them does not change $316,051,760.50. Each join has its own extract. Do not claim that donations paid for $316,051,760.50 in South Dakota. The source is USAspending.gov, not a campaign-finance file.

Index, overlay, and statewide hub

Place-of-performance South Dakota is statewide; it does not split Sioux Falls, Rapid City, and Pierre. Neighbor-coded work in North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, or Wyoming stays out.

All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $316,051,760.50. Department of Energy in South Dakota remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance South Dakota is statewide; it does not split Sioux Falls, Rapid City, and Pierre. Neighbor-coded activity in North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, or Wyoming stays out even if mail is handled in Sioux Falls. 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. Prairie, black hills, and missouri river 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. South Dakota's $316,051,760.50 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of Energy and call the difference 'South Dakota 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 South Dakota 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 $316,051,760.50. The 171 figure is not a count of unique 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 $1,848,255.91 is not a typical energy, grid, or lab award. Laboratory folklore is labeled folklore because no lab column exists here. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/sd/agencies/089/ and canonicalPath /ties/department-of-energy-in-south-dakota/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $316,051,760.50 or 171, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $316,051,760.50, 171 awards, agency 089, Department of Energy, South Dakota (SD), and the obligation unit.

What is the DOE obligation total for South Dakota?

USAspending.gov records $316,051,760.50 in obligations for awarding agency 089 (Department of Energy) with South Dakota place of performance, covering 171 awards. That is an obligation total, not an outlay total, and not Department of Energy's nationwide budget. The pair is a join, not a ranking.
