Donors listing Cogen Technologies reported $1,039,766 in itemized individual contributions during the 2012 federal election cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 21 contributions from seven donors. The figure is a slice of the Cogen Technologies employer grouping, not a company PAC and not a ranking of power producers. This page joins that employer string to the 2012 two-year window so a seven-person cell can sit beside a seven-figure total without being mistaken for a plant-level census. Seven donors at about $148,538 each can move the mean; treat that figure as arithmetic for this energy-employer cell, not as a plant payroll statistic. Do not treat seven donors as a cogeneration-industry ranking for 2012. Plant-site names and successor legal entities remain other keys if they exist.
Key figures
- Cogen Technologies × 2012 is $1,039,766 in itemized individual contributions.
- The cell includes 21 contributions from 7 donors.
- 2012 is about 14.7% of the grouping’s $7,077,109 all-cycle total.

- FEC gifts and federal energy awards remain separate datasets.
Cogen Technologies crossed with 2012
Employer groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Cogen Technologies and 2012 — sum to $1,039,766. The total is not an official company disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.
The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $7,077,109. The 2012 slice is about 14.7% of that running sum. A presidential-year window that accounts for roughly one-seventh of the key’s history is a real cell. It is not a substitute for the unfiltered employer hub, and it is not a ranking against other energy strings.
How the Cogen Technologies string is matched
Filers type employer text. Cogen Technologies collects strings that match this name. A longer legal name, a plant-site name, or a successor entity can land on a neighboring key. This join does not merge those neighbors. Cite only what this key recorded in 2012.
Seven donors are contributor identities, not a headcount of a cogeneration payroll. Retirees and household members who reuse a workplace can appear. The Commission does not certify employment.
Treat $7,077,109 as the denominator for the 14.7% share. It is not a plant valuation and not proof of a multi-year corporate program. Neighboring energy keys keep their own denominators.
