Department of Energy federal obligations in Utah

A thin Energy file on Utah

Department of Energy as awarding agency, Utah as place-of-performance: 175 records summing to $1,516,780,315.60. A Department of Energy award coded outside UT is out. An award in Utah from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Utah (UT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. An Idaho National Laboratory-coded award is Idaho, not this cell.

One hundred seventy-five awards against $1,516,780,315.60 is a thin Energy file. The implied mean is large. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 175 as 175 unique named labs, megawatts, or unique contractors. The overlay Department of Energy in Utah is the both-keys table. Utah federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without a UT filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Salt Lake versus the Uinta Basin is unpublished. This page does not isolate EM, EERE, or a loan office inside $1,516,780,315.60. Correlation is not causation: Utah did not cause $1,516,780,315.60 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × UT only.

Not oil shale, INL neighbors, or a kWh ranking

$1,516,780,315.60 does not measure named labs, megawatts, or unique contractors. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 089 and a UT place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 175 awards as a census of named labs, megawatts, or unique contractors. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Utah federal spending or Department of Energy matched $1,516,780,315.60 and 175, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Idaho, Colorado, and Nevada Energy joins are other pairs, not addends.

Utah, not an Intermountain energy rollup

Place of performance UT is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Utah (UT) excludes Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico. An Idaho National Laboratory-coded award is Idaho, not this cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Salt Lake versus the Uinta Basin is unpublished. This page does not isolate EM, EERE, or a loan office inside $1,516,780,315.60. This packet does not split $1,516,780,315.60 by city, county, or named facility. 175 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Few rows, still obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,516,780,315.60 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Utah confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Utah’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 175-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 $1,516,780,315.60.

Citing Energy in Utah

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Energy (agency 089) obligated $1,516,780,315.60 on 175 awards coded to Utah. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named labs, megawatts, or unique contractors.

Prefer Department of Energy in Utah if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Utah federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to UT. Department of Energy is the 089 parent without the UT filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,516,780,315.60.

A usable footnote names Department of Energy, Utah, $1,516,780,315.60, and 175. The compact headline $1.52 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $8.67 million is $1,516,780,315.60 divided by 175. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
