Department of Energy federal obligations in Wisconsin

Energy awards tagged to Wisconsin

Department of Energy as awarding agency, Wisconsin as place-of-performance: 233 records summing to $1,492,926,702.35. A Department of Energy award coded outside WI is out. An award in Wisconsin from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Wisconsin (WI) excludes Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, and Iowa. A Chicago-coded award is Illinois even if the plant sits on the lake.

Two hundred thirty-three records against $1,492,926,702.35 is a thin Energy file. A high implied mean can sit beside a modest row count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 233 as 233 unique megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. The overlay Department of Energy in Wisconsin is the both-keys table. Wisconsin federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without a WI filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Madison and Milwaukee are unpublished. $1,492,926,702.35 stays statewide. Correlation is not causation: Wisconsin did not cause $1,492,926,702.35 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × WI only.

Not a nuclear or utility headcount

$1,492,926,702.35 does not measure megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 089 and a WI place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 233 awards as a census of megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Wisconsin federal spending or Department of Energy matched $1,492,926,702.35 and 233, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Minnesota, Illinois, and Michigan Energy joins are other pairs, not addends.

Wisconsin, not a Twin Cities rollup

Place of performance WI is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Wisconsin (WI) excludes Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, and Iowa. A Chicago-coded award is Illinois even if the plant sits on the lake. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Madison and Milwaukee are unpublished. $1,492,926,702.35 stays statewide. This packet does not split $1,492,926,702.35 by city, county, or named facility. 233 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Obligation stock versus invoices paid

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $1,492,926,702.35 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Wisconsin confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Wisconsin’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 233-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 $1,492,926,702.35.

Citing Energy in Wisconsin

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Energy (agency 089) obligated $1,492,926,702.35 on 233 awards coded to Wisconsin. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects.

Prefer Department of Energy in Wisconsin if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Wisconsin federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to WI. Department of Energy is the 089 parent without the WI filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,492,926,702.35.

A usable footnote names Department of Energy, Wisconsin, $1,492,926,702.35, and 233. The compact headline $1.49 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $6.41 million is $1,492,926,702.35 divided by 233. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Questions

How much has the Department of Energy obligated in Wisconsin?

USAspending.gov records $1,492,926,702.35 across 233 awards with awarding agency 089 and a Wisconsin tag.

Keep both keys when quoting $1,492,926,702.35.

Is $1,492,926,702.35 a measure of megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects?
