Grid Infrastructure awarded by Department of Energy

Grid Infrastructure overlapping DOE — CFDA 81.254

The pair is Grid Infrastructure Deployment And Resilience × Department of Energy. $7,043,649,945 is the obligation aggregate for rows that carry both CFDA 81.254 and awarding-agency 089. The join obligation $7,043,649,945 equals the CFDA program total of $7,043,649,945 in this extract, so this packet does not publish a leftover Grid Infrastructure slice at a second awarding agency. Correlation is not causation: the join does not prove that Department of Energy caused Grid Infrastructure activity, only that USAspending coded the two keys together. It is not a grid-operator ranking or a named transmission-project roster.

SpendingVault indexes the cell from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is GRID INFRASTRUCTURE DEPLOYMENT AND RESILIENCE. The agency name on the awarding side is Department of Energy. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or a fiscal-year stamp — this packet publishes no fiscal year. Cite $7,043,649,945 as obligations on the Grid Infrastructure–DOE pair.

CFDA 81.254 as the grid infrastructure side

CFDA 81.254 is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier for Grid Infrastructure Deployment And Resilience. The program-wide obligation total in this extract is $7,043,649,945. That figure is a program rollup, not a second headline for the Department of Energy slice unless the two amounts match. Do not treat $7,043,649,945 as cash Treasury already sent. Utilities, line miles, and project sites are unpublished on this packet.

Open CFDA 81.254 at /programs/81.254/ for the program hub. That page is not this join: it can include other awarding agencies if the extract lists them, and it is still obligations rather than outlays. This ties page stays on CFDA 81.254 awarded by agency 089 only.

Agency 089, Department of Energy

Department of Energy is awarding-agency 089 on USAspending assistance rows. The agency hub Department of Energy at /agencies/089/ rolls up every program that agency awards in the index, not only Grid Infrastructure. Reading $7,043,649,945 as Department of Energy’s entire book would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one agency, not a department budget justification.

Do not add Federal Election Commission contribution totals to $7,043,649,945. Campaign-finance receipts and USAspending award obligations are separate public-record systems even when a geography or a calendar year happens to overlap. This packet has no FEC facts.

408 awards as a CFDA table, not a utility census

The extract lists 408 awards on the Grid Infrastructure × Department of Energy table. That is an award-record count, not a census of substations. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Dividing $7,043,649,945 by 408 is not published here as a typical award size, because the packet does not say the rows are comparable.

Reliability rankings this grid–DOE join cannot support

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $7,043,649,945 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared on Grid Infrastructure over-reads the field. The join cannot say that Department of Energy specialized in Grid Infrastructure because of a policy success metric this packet omits. Keep $7,043,649,945 labeled as Grid Infrastructure Deployment And Resilience obligations awarded by Department of Energy.

Hubs for CFDA 81.254 × agency 089

Open /programs/81.254/ for CFDA 81.254, /agencies/089/ for Department of Energy, /programs/ (All programs) for other catalog lines, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for other pairs. None of those links convert this cell into a grid-operator ranking or a named transmission-project roster, into outlays this packet omits, or into a contractor list. Cite both sides: Grid Infrastructure Deployment And Resilience and Department of Energy, $7,043,649,945, USAspending.gov, obligations only.

Keep the citation narrow: CFDA 81.254 and awarding-agency 089 on USAspending.gov, obligations only, with no invented recipients. Utilities, line miles, and project sites are unpublished on this packet.
