Jeffrey Martin’s Leadership Dialogue at Energy Intelligence Forum

Addressing 3,000 global energy stakeholders at the annual Energy Intelligence Forum, Sempra Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey W. Martin described the opportunities and challenges associated with the world’s journey to net-zero by the middle of the century. Sempra Chairman and CEO, Jeffrey Martin (right), speaks with Michael Sultan at the virtual 2021 Energy Intelligence Forum In a Leadership Dialogue fireside chat moderated by Michael Sultan, editor of LNG Intelligence, Martin shared insights into Sempra’s climate strategy and plan for creating long-term, sustainable value. “Here in the United States, our owners are really American utility investors, and they’re looking for three things: relative safety of their investment, return of capital in the form of a growing dividend, and growing, stable earnings.” Every day, Sempra companies deliver energy to 36 million consumers in North America — more Americans than any other utility holding company in the country. Our transmission and distribution infrastructure serves some of the world’s largest and fastest-growing markets, including California, Texas, Mexico and the LNG export market. “We’ve established long-term goals across our enterprise to be net-zero in greenhouse gas emission scopes one, two and three,” said Martin. “It’s about working to provide more energy to customers with demonstrably lower carbon content.” “We have nearly 70 billion dollars of consolidated assets across our enterprise, and we are well suited to be a leader in the ongoing electrification of society,” said Martin. “We also understand that natural gas is a natural partner for renewables and can promote electrification.” Another benefit of natural gas is that it is highly complementary with biomethane and hydrogen, which in combination can help lower the overall carbon content of natural gas in the future. “As energy grid owners, we need to do the ‘make-ready’ work so that when hydrogen is available, we can introduce it into our energy system quickly and safely.” More of Martin’s remarks can be read in this Energy Intelligence article.

SDG&E Sets New Goals and Accelerates Actions to Drive Toward Net Zero GHG Emissions by 2045

Today San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) released its annual sustainability strategy update, highlighting what it has accomplished over the past year to help create a clean, resilient and equitable future, as well as outlining new and accelerated goals to help meet its pledge to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. “Over the past year, we spent a lot of time listening to a wide cross section of stakeholders so that we could incorporate their feedback into our long-term strategy to move our region closer to carbon neutrality,” said SDG&E CEO Caroline Winn. “We recognize we still have much work to do and that we can’t do it alone. Community partners who support and challenge us in our work to develop sustainability solutions are invaluable as we focus on strengthening climate equity and community resilience where we all call home.” SDG&E’s new sustainability goals include: Operating a Zero Emissions Fleet by 2035 Recognizing the transportation sector is the single largest source of GHG emissions 1, SDG&E seeks to operate a 100% zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) fleet by 2035 – five years ahead of the company’s original goal. Achieving Zero Net Energy Facilities by 2030 Buildings account for 25% of GHG emissions in the state 2. As part of SDG&E’s work to ensure its own operations are sustainable, the company set a new goal to achieve zero net energy 3 for all company-owned facilities in San Diego and southern Orange County. Piloting a Virtual Power Plant by 2022 In an effort to boost grid reliability, flexibility and resilience, SDG&E will accelerate its timeline to deliver a virtual power plant (VPP) by 2022, instead of 2025 as originally planned. This innovative demonstration project will integrate multiple types of customer-owned distributed energy resources (DER), including energy storage systems, into a planned renewable microgrid in Shelter Valley, a community in eastern San Diego County. The primary goal of the VPP is to coordinate the dispatch of customer DERs in concert with microgrid energy needs and allow those resources to be dispatched to the regional grid when supplies are tight. Results of the demonstration will inform future initiatives and grid management system needs. SDG&E released a comprehensive sustainability strategy in October 2020, which included several aspirational goals.

SoCalGas Statement on SB 297 Becoming California Law

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- On Friday, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed SB 297 (Durazo) into law. This bill will enact the Wade Kilpatrick Gas Safety and Workforce Adequacy Act of 2021, prescribing increased civil penalties to operators or excavators who violate provisions relating to excavations and subsurface installations and cause damage to underground utility infrastructure. SB 297 includes additional measures to promote safety and reliability while preventing repeat offenders from hitting natural gas or hazardous liquid pipelines. SoCalGas issued the following statement to the media in response: "On behalf of our over 8,000 employees, we want to thank Gov. Newsom and Sen. Durazo for their leadership in helping to keep our employees safe with the passage of the Wade Kilpatrick Gas Safety and Workforce Adequacy Act of 2021 (SB 297). We take extraordinary precautions before, during and after the job to make sure the job is done safely, and this bill will extend that effort to all contractors. "In July 2019, we were saddened by the tragic loss of Wade Kilpatrick, a SoCalGas employee, who died while responding to a damaged gas pipeline. The damage was reportedly caused by a contractor who hadn't called 811 before beginning work. "Our hope is that increased penalties will influence more people to contact 811. The simple act of contacting 811 before beginning any excavation work can save lives, protect our community, prevent costly repairs and deter emissions reduction efforts. Statement from Utility Union Workers of America Local 132 Statement may be attributed to: Eric Hoffman, President, Local 132 "Our brothers and sisters of UWUA Local 132 make safety our number one priority. We work tirelessly to keep natural gas safe, affordable, and reliable for small businesses and families across Southern California and, if need be, we fight for the public's safety in Sacramento. "The Wade Kilpatrick Gas Safety Act will help battle irresponsible contractors that endanger lives, while simultaneously promoting good paying union jobs, and a safe environment. This legislation increases fines and penalties to reckless contractors who repeatedly damage gas infrastructure and fail to follow the proper safety protocols. We want to thank Governor Newsom, Senator Durazo, and the Legislature for passing this common-sense safety reform. SOURCE Southern California Gas Company

Sempra Gives FERC Testimony on Energy Resilience

As part of Sempra’s ongoing collaboration with government partners to advance the energy transition, Sempra Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs and Chief Sustainability Officer Lisa Alexander recently provided testimony during the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) annual Reliability Technical Conference about the importance of advancing climate resilient energy systems. “Companies like Sempra make long-term, generational investments in infrastructure,” said Alexander. “As we plan for the future, one thing is clear today: climate resilience is paramount, as we witness more frequent and increasingly severe weather events. Our company brings deep urgency and an important perspective to conversations such as this one, especially given our diverse regional operations — through our gas and electric utilities in California and Texas — and our global experience as an exporter of low carbon LNG, which helps emerging markets and other countries develop and decarbonize their energy networks.” While the challenges the world faces today are unlike any faced before, Sempra believes technology and innovation remain key to advancing climate resilience and creating a net-zero future for all. In her testimony, Alexander outlined five key areas to help enable progress: Advanced meteorological and technology-enabled situational awareness, such as Sempra’s comprehensive network of over 200 weather stations at San Diego Gas and Electric Co. (SDG&E); Infrastructure hardening, such as the $3.15 billion dedicated to a comprehensive wildfire mitigation program invested at SDG&E over the last ten years; Diversification of the energy network, which will be even more critical if and when cleaner fuels such as renewable gas and green and blue hydrogen come online and can help meet electrification goals and improve resiliency; Integrated planning that considers both gas and electric grids working in tandem to bolster resilience; and Policy and regulation that attracts investments to climate-resilient infrastructure, as entities such as FERC can encourage investments and participation in the climate-resilient systems of the future. The United States has an opportunity to lead the global energy transition, to develop solutions to our most pressing challenges and to demonstrate pathways to a decarbonized future. At Sempra, we will continue to play a leading role by innovating, expanding and investing in climate resilient transmission and distribution networks needed to create net-zero energy networks of tomorrow.

SoCalGas Among First in the Nation to Test Hydrogen Blending in Real-World Infrastructure and Appliances in Closed Loop System

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced that it is blending hydrogen to fuel a household system and appliances at its Engineering Analysis Center and Centralized Training Facility. As part of the testing, technicians are measuring the performance of common household appliances like stoves, wall heaters and forced-air furnaces when they are fueled with a blend of hydrogen and natural gas. This is the next step moving out of the lab and toward future blending into the natural gas grid, with an emphasis on safety and training. SoCalGas is among the first utilities in the nation to test the effects of a hydrogen blend on natural gas infrastructure and equipment in a controlled field environment. This effort utilizes the same engineering and technology that will be used to blend into the natural gas grid in the future. The use of hydrogen, either blended with natural gas, or delivered via a dedicated pipeline, is one important component of SoCalGas' strategy to achieve net zero emissions in its operations and the energy it delivers by 2045. Preliminary results of testing that began earlier this summer show the household natural gas appliances are compatible with up to a 20% hydrogen blend. These initial findings are consistent with previous international research and lab testing. This effort provides key operational and safety experience, including testing for pipeline leaks, that will enable SoCalGas to implement larger scale hydrogen blending demonstrations. SoCalGas continues to test the impacts of blending hydrogen with natural gas on pipelines and appliances. Furthermore, separate National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) analysis and several international industry studies have indicated the potential to blend hydrogen into existing distribution pipelines serving end use customers. "In a net zero emissions California, clean fuels like hydrogen will play an essential role in supporting a reliable electric grid, in eliminating emissions from hard to electrify sectors of the economy like transportation and industry, and in making the transition to a clean energy economy affordable," said Neil Navin, vice president of clean energy innovations for SoCalGas. "The European Hydrogen Backbone Initiative is a great example on how cooperation can accelerate these goals. There, some 23 nations are working to repurpose 70 percent of their existing natural gas infrastructure to carry clean hydrogen to a cluster of demand centers across the European Union." "Investing in tests that aim to demonstrate the potential of hydrogen is key to identifying solutions that can help us address our current climate crisis," said Assemblymember Bill Quirk. "SoCalGas' commitment to decarbonization innovations help advance the energy transition." Several analyses, including the Los Angeles Renewable Energy Study (LA100) by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and NREL, highlight the need, in 2045, for renewably produced and storable fuels to maintain reliability in the power sector. In addition, many experts agree that clean fuels like hydrogen will be essential for decarbonizing hard to electrify sectors of the economy like industry and heavy-duty trucking. SoCalGas is actively engaged in more than 10 pilot projects related to hydrogen, including a partnership with Netherlands-based HyET Hydrogen on technology that could transform hydrogen distribution and enable the rapid expansion of hydrogen fueling stations for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). The technology would allow hydrogen to be easily and affordably transported via the natural gas pipeline system, then extracted and compressed at fueling stations that provide hydrogen FCEVs. In addition, later this year, SoCalGas will break ground on its award-winning H2 Hydrogen Home. The first project of its kind in the U.S., the H2 Hydrogen Home aims to show how carbon-free gas made from renewable electricity can be used in pure form or as a blend to fuel clean energy systems of the future. When the home is built in the city of Downey, it will be the first fully integrated demonstration project with solar panels, a battery, and electrolyzer to convert solar energy to hydrogen and a fuel cell to supply electricity for the home. In June 2021, SoCalGas and its H2 Hydrogen Home were named one of Fast Company's World-Changing Ideas in the North America category. The award honors products, concepts, companies, policies, and designs that are pursuing innovation for the good of society and the planet. Earlier this year, in support of California's climate goals, SoCalGas became the largest gas distribution utility in North America to set a net zero emissions target that includes scopes 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions. SoCalGas' Aspire 2045 strategy aligns with the recommendations of the Paris Climate Agreement and reflects the company's focus on supporting California with a resilient gas grid through the energy transition to support a carbon neutral economy.

Sempra Announces Strategic And Financial Update

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra (NYSE: SRE) (BMV: SRE) today announced developments related to its strategy and financial performance. "At this point in the year, we are pleased with our progress on several key strategic initiatives, including the timing of closing for Sempra Infrastructure, ongoing efforts to reduce litigation risk and improved visibility to the company's financial outlook. With all third-party transaction approvals received and material conditions satisfied, we have scheduled closing on our partnership with KKR on Oct. 1," said Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and CEO of Sempra. "Also, today's announcement by SoCalGas provides a clear path to resolving material legacy litigation, while also reducing the overall risk to Sempra's portfolio." Sale of Non-Controlling Interest in Sempra Infrastructure to KKR Through a series of transactions announced last year, Sempra is forming Sempra Infrastructure, a strategic growth platform that is expected to increase shareholder value by consolidating Sempra's energy infrastructure businesses. The new platform will consist of the company's liquefied natural gas business and its ownership interest in IEnova (Infraestructura Energética Nova, S.A.B. de C.V.) and will invest in incremental capital opportunities associated with non-utility transmission and distribution infrastructure. In May, Sempra completed its stock-for-stock exchange offer to acquire the publicly owned shares of IEnova. Also, earlier this month, Sempra completed its follow-on cash tender offer to acquire the remaining publicly owned shares of IEnova that were not obtained in the exchange offer. Sempra's ownership interest in IEnova is now 99.92%, and IEnova has submitted a request to applicable Mexican regulators to delist its shares from the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V.). As a next step, Sempra has met all material closing conditions and is scheduled to complete the sale of a non-controlling, 20% interest in Sempra Infrastructure to KKR on Oct. 1. Proceeds from the sale are expected to be used to, among other things, help fund growth across Sempra's capital program, which is centered on its U.S. utilities, and to further strengthen its balance sheet. Agreements to Resolve Aliso Canyon Litigation Also today, SoCalGas announced agreements that are expected to resolve substantially all material civil litigation against SoCalGas and Sempra related to the 2015 Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility leak. As a result of the agreements, SoCalGas will record an after-tax charge of approximately $1.1 billion this month, which will be consolidated in Sempra's third-quarter results. The net, after-tax cash outflows for SoCalGas are expected to ultimately be up to approximately $895 million, after taking into consideration the remaining insurance receivable and other adjustments. The agreements to resolve the referenced claims are subject to obtaining certain minimum participation levels among the plaintiffs and court approval of the settlement allocation process, among other conditions. For additional information about these agreements to resolve Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility litigation as well as remaining legal and regulatory proceedings related to the leak, please see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Sempra and SoCalGas with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.

Sempra Foundation And GRID Alternatives Announce Contribution To Solar Projects Intended To Improve Energy Access In Mexico

SAN DIEGO and OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Foundation, founded by Sempra (NYSE: SRE) (BMV: SRE), today announced a charitable contribution of more than $200,000 to GRID Alternatives to install five grid-tied solar projects on community buildings and off-grid solar projects benefitting 40 families in Mexico. The projects are intended to help improve energy access for vulnerable communities with environmental justice concerns in the country. GRID Alternatives is a national leader in providing access to clean, affordable renewable energy to economic and environmental justice communities in the U.S. and internationally. Last month, GRID Alternatives completed work on the first solar project located at a health center in Tijuana. "We believe that access to resilient, affordable and clean energy is critical to advancing a just and prosperous world," said Lisa Alexander, director and board chair of Sempra Foundation. "Energy access is crucial to health, economic growth and prosperity, and we are proud to support a portfolio of projects that are expected to result in affordable, cleaner energy for those in need." The project in Mexico is part of a broader commitment by Sempra Foundation to help improve lives and build stronger, more resilient communities by expanding energy access. Sempra Foundation and GRID Alternatives identified seven communities and organizations in northern Baja California, Mexico, in need of energy assistance as they work to provide necessities for those they support. The locations include two orphanages, two Indigenous residential communities, a health center, a migrant center and a hospice serving individuals experiencing homelessness and living with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis. "We are excited to work with Sempra Foundation on these important solar projects to help improve access to reliable electricity and reduce the burden of energy costs for organizations that are doing critical work in Mexico," said Jenean Smith, senior director of international programs for GRID Alternatives. "We are also providing hands-on training for local students pursuing clean energy careers, as pandemic safety protocols allow." Creating a Positive ImpactIn Mexico, more than 10 million residents live without access to reliable electricity. The solar installations are expected to result in: A total of 68 kW of grid-tied solar capacity installed at the locations in Mexico; An estimated 1,930 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions avoided, the equivalent of planting and growing over 32,000 trees; and Solar installation training is planned for 60 local renewable energy students, at least half of them women.

SoCalGas Facilities Begin Switch to 100% Renewable Power Under Green Rate Program

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced it has begun purchasing renewable electricity under Southern California Edison's (SCE) Green Rate Program everywhere the gas utility is eligible for service by SCE. Including this new arrangement, SoCalGas estimates that it will purchase nearly 53.7 million kilowatt hours of power from renewable sources each year, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 38,000 metric tons annually, the equivalent of taking more than 8,000 gasoline-powered cars off the road each year. This electricity is instrumental in powering a gas infrastructure that serves SoCalGas's 22 million customers today and can distribute cleaner fuels in the future. A total of 69 operating facilities, representing more than 80% of all electricity demand at these facilities, will now use renewable power from the electrical grid. This purchase places SoCalGas among the largest SCE renewable energy customers. SoCalGas has made plans to enroll its remaining eligible facilities and buildings in a similar renewable power program by the end of the year. "Increasing our usage of 100% renewable grid power at our operating facilities is part of SoCalGas's goal to achieve net zero emissions in our operations and delivery of energy by 2045," said Jawaad Malik, SoCalGas vice president of strategy and sustainability. "A clean energy future will require the continued integration of the electric and gas grids to achieve the clean, reliable, and affordable power that California demands." "Our Green Rate Program was designed for climate leader customers like SoCalGas, who want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity use while contributing to a cleaner, healthier environment," said Mike Marelli, vice president of SCE's Business Customer Division. "Working together with SoCalGas in this leadership role will help contribute to a clean and affordable energy future for all." "SoCalGas switching their eligible facilities to 100% renewable grid energy is a commendable action that will help reduce the state greenhouse gas emissions, and sets an example for companies across the nation who will play a vital role in meeting our ambitious climate goals," said Assemblymember Chris Holden, Chair of the Assembly Utilities and Energy Committee. The purchase of 100% renewable electricity under SCE's Green Rate Program includes five Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) programs that SoCalGas subscribes to within the SCE territory. As part of its climate commitment released in March 2021, SoCalGas announced a goal to achieve net zero energy for its newly constructed buildings and major renovations of buildings over 10,000 square feet by 2025 and 100% of its buildings by 2035. In addition, SoCalGas is in the process of replacing 50% of its over-the-road fleet with electric, hybrid, renewable natural gas, and fuel electric vehicles by 2025. SoCalGas's goal is to replace 100% of its over-the-road fleet with zero emissions over-the-road fleet by 2035. In support of this goal, SoCalGas submitted Charge Ready Transport (CRT) applications with SCE to install electric vehicle charging infrastructures at its Energy Resource Center in Downey and its Compton and Pico Rivera facilities; combined these projects are estimated to net more than 100 new charging stations.

Shaping the Future: One Student at a Time

Today’s students will soon be tomorrow’s leaders and investing in the next generation of trailblazers is one way we are working to shape the future for our company and the communities we serve. Take Nika Filippov, the daughter of George Nemeth, who is our LNG Marketing and Commercial Development Director in Texas. A nationally ranked champion fencer, a member of her high school’s robotics club, the founder of The Women’s Empowerment Initiative at Duchesne Academy and an aspiring mechanical engineer, Nika was a worthy scholarship recipient. Not only that, she volunteered at Houston’s Star of Hope Women’s Shelter, the Russian Cultural Center and the Houston Food Bank. One of the criteria a scholarship recipient like Nika must possess is exhibiting our values. Students like Nika embody what drives our high-performance culture and the leadership we celebrate both inside and outside our company. That said, we couldn’t be more proud to name her one of our recipients. Investing in the Future Since its inception in 1998, Sempra has awarded over $4.7 million in scholarships to champion 831 children of employees and their achievements. The scholarships are offered to students who will continue their education at a trade or technical school, community college or four-year college or university. To be considered, students must be children or dependents of Sempra employees and rank highly in a combination of both academic and non-academic criteria. Each year, multiple award amounts are granted, including up to seven $16,000 grand prize awards, up to twenty-six $4,000 one-time awards, and up to six $1,500 one-time awards. “I am so glad that my dad encouraged me to pursue this scholarship program and hope other students are inspired to share their achievements and apply,” said Nika Filippov. “Today I am working as an Assistant Director of Research and Development for a startup called FarUV Solutions and I love that Sempra prompted me to put myself out there and ultimately played a role in helping me realize my dreams of working in the engineering field.” Living Our Values Through Scholarship America, applications are evaluated, one-time award recipients are selected and ten finalists are chosen to be eligible for the four-year grand prize renewable awards. Through the lens of our core values, a cross-functional committee of Sempra executives then interview these finalists and select the recipients of the $16,000 grand prize awards. Our scholarship program continues to grow with our Texas team and Nika is joined by other exceptional recipients. To date, there have been three award winners and a total of $20,000 in scholarships granted to students in the Lone Star state. Additionally, as part of our ongoing commitment to Port Arthur, Texas, Sempra LNG has partnered with organizations like the Port Arthur Education Foundation, NAACP and Black Women’s Coalition to award scholarships to students pursuing their education in STEM fields in Southeast Texas as well. In fact, more than $35,000 have been awarded to-date through these efforts. Building a strong educational foundation helps students pursue their dreams through higher education as well as contribute to developing a strong local workforce. Recognizing students like Nika and doing our part to help shape a bright future by empowering the next generation of leaders is a key part of our high-performance culture.
