Sempra California Sempra California continues to invest in innovation and infrastructure to help meet the state's clean energy goals. In March, Sempra California joined its peers in filing an application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to develop a series of projects to demonstrate hydrogen blending in the natural gas system. Hydrogen blending has been identified by California as a key component of its efforts to achieve the state's decarbonization goals. This application is an important step toward development of a statewide standard for hydrogen blending with a view toward accelerating the expansion of a cleaner, more resilient grid. Furthering its track record of helping California lead the nation in electric vehicle adoption, San Diego Gas & Electric Co. recently celebrated the installation of charging infrastructure to provide reliable and accessible charging options for medium- to heavy-duty electric freight trucks crossing the U.S.- Mexico border. Additionally, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognized Southern California Gas Co. with an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year distinction for exemplary dedication to energy efficiency programs that help customers save money and reduce emissions. Of note, progress also continues with the general rate cases before the CPUC. A proposed decision is anticipated in second-quarter 2024 with a final decision expected before year end. As a result, Sempra California recorded CPUC revenues in first-quarter 2024 based on 2023 authorized levels. Sempra Texas Sempra Texas continues to see broad economic expansion across its service territory with notable growth in residential, commercial and industrial development, including the siting and development of digital infrastructure such as data centers and microchip and semiconductor manufacturing facilities. Yesterday, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (Oncor) filed a system resiliency plan outlining nearly $3 billion of strategic capital investments to be invested over the next three years in system hardening and grid modernization, cyber threat prevention, enhanced vegetation management, wildfire mitigation, new technology and other resiliency measures. These investments build upon the measures already in place and represent Oncor's first proposed plan under the new regulatory framework established by Texas House Bill 2555, which aims to improve reliability and resiliency for customers and improve the timeliness of cost recovery for expenditures in approved plans. In accordance with the referenced law, the Public Utility Commission of Texas may take up to 180 days to review the plan, and if approved, Oncor expects to begin implementing the plan in 2025. At the end of first-quarter 2024, Oncor had 781 active generation and large commercial and industrial transmission point-of-interconnection (POI) requests in queue, representing a 20% increase as compared to the end of first-quarter 2023. In first-quarter 2024, Oncor placed into service 9 major substations and 24 circuit miles of new or upgraded high-voltage transmission lines within the jurisdiction of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. Sempra Infrastructure Sempra Infrastructure's operational excellence and strong project development capabilities continue to drive its strategy of executing on energy infrastructure projects expected to play a crucial role in the energy systems of the future. This includes continued development of liquefied natural gas export facilities, associated pipelines, renewables, carbon capture and energy networks. Construction of Energía Costa Azul LNG Phase 1 and Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 remain on schedule. Energía Costa Azul LNG Phase 1 construction is now over 80% complete and remains on track to commence commercial operations in summer 2025. Additionally, Sempra Infrastructure made a positive final investment decision and began construction of the Cimarrón wind project, the third phase of the Energía Sierra Juarez (ESJ) wind complex. The total project is anticipated to provide approximately 320 megawatts of wind capacity. The Cimarrón project will utilize Sempra Infrastructure's existing cross-border, high-voltage transmission line interconnecting the ESJ wind complex directly into the California Independent System Operator grid to support a 20-year power purchase agreement with Silicon Valley Power in Santa Clara, Calif. Total capital expenditures for the project are estimated at $550 million, and the project is expected to commence generating energy in late 2025. Earnings Guidance Sempra is updating its full-year 2024 GAAP earnings per common share (EPS) guidance range to $4.52 to $4.82 reflecting actual results through the first quarter, affirming its full-year 2024 adjusted EPS guidance range of $4.60 to $4.90, and affirming its full-year 2025 EPS guidance range of $4.90 to $5.25.

SoCalGas Earns ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the Second Consecutive Year
The award is one of the ENERGY STAR program's highest levels of recognition and reflects the utility's efforts to help its customers save money, conserve energy and transition to a net-zero emissions future. LOS ANGELES, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) announced today that the utility was selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for the second consecutive year for demonstrating exemplary dedication to energy efficiency and the ENERGY STAR program. SoCalGas was recognized from a network of thousands of ENERGY STAR partners for the utility's focus on providing direct engagement and incentives for ENERGY STAR products to underserved communities. In 2023, SoCalGas helped customers save over $14 million dollars through ENERGY STAR product rebates. SoCalGas' energy efficiency programs are some of the largest in the United States. Over the last five years, they have helped save SoCalGas customers over $241 million in utility bill costs and delivered more than 219 million therms in energy savings. That's enough natural gas usage for approximately 548,000 households a year and reduced greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by over 1.2 million metric tons, the equivalent of removing over 250,000 cars from the road annually. "As part of our ASPIRE 2045 sustainability strategy, we strongly believe that increasing access to affordable and more sustainable energy solutions is vital for an equitable transition to a carbon neutral future," says Don Widjaja, vice president of customer services – field & solutions at SoCalGas. "By reducing energy consumption, our energy efficiency programs help to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy bills for households and businesses, and improve the environment and quality of life in the communities we serve." In 2023, SoCalGas helped customers save over $14 million dollars through ENERGY STAR product rebates. The SoCalGas residential rebate program supported the purchase of approximately 16,500 ENERGY STAR natural gas tankless water heaters, 15,500 ENERGY STAR smart thermostats and 10,600 natural gas dryers. "President Biden's Investing in America agenda creates unprecedented opportunity to build a clean energy economy, and private sector partners through programs like ENERGY STAR are leading the way," said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. "I congratulate this year's ENERGY STAR award winners for their innovation and leadership, in delivering cost-effective energy efficient solutions that create jobs, address climate change, and contribute to a healthier environment for all." Energy efficiency is also helping to advance SoCalGas' ASPIRE 2045 aim to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in its operations and delivery of energy by 2045. For more ways to lower energy cost and usage throughout the year, the SoCalGas Marketplace offers affordable energy-efficiency financing, energy efficiency rebates, and assistance programs. SoCalGas was the only utility in California recognized at the ENERGY STAR Awards Celebration in Washington D.C on April 25.

SoCalGas Hosts U.S. Department of Energy's Second Annual Minority Business Summit, Emphasizing the Importance of Diverse Spending
700 diverse business leaders from 33 states will have the opportunity to learn about $400 billion in federal procurement opportunities; special guest Daymond John Media assets including videos and pictures here LOS ANGELES, April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) is hosting 700 diverse business leaders from 33 states at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Justice and Equity's second annual Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Connect Summit on April 17-18, 2024, at the company's Energy Resource Center (ERC) in Downey, California. The summit, being held for the first time on the West Coast, connects MBEs with the DOE and more than 40 other state and federal agencies, prime government contractors, financial institutions, private sector companies and nonprofit organizations for learning, business opportunities and over 1,900 unique business matchmaking sessions. "We're here today to advance a mission that is incredibly important to me, which is deepening the Department of Energy's work with minority-owned businesses. It's a top priority for two simple reasons: first, it's a smart thing to do, and then, it's the right thing to do. It's of course the smart thing because the clean energy transition is only going to succeed if it's led by businesses like yours," said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm in a video message to conference attendees. "We need your expertise, we need your creativity, and, above all, we need your drive. I think working more closely with minority-owned businesses is also the right thing to do because the incredible economic opportunity of clean energy doesn't mean much unless it's broadly shared." "Partnering with diverse suppliers benefits local economies and communities, strengthens the supply chain, and accelerates America's clean energy transition," said Scott Drury, chief executive officer of SoCalGas. "Our commitment to supplier diversity not only boosts market competitiveness but also drives innovation." Connect Summit participants will attend panels, workshops and matchmaking meetings designed to create new business relationships between MBEs and the U.S. Department of Energy. Other federal agencies attending include the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Interior, Labor, Transportation; the Environmental Protection Agency; NASA; the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office; and the Small Business Administration. Summit discussions will center around $400 billion in federal contract opportunities available to MBEs. The first day of the summit featured a fireside chat with Maryam Brown, president of SoCalGas, and Daymond John, CEO of the Shark Group, CEO and founder of FUBU, a presidential ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship, and co-star of ABC's Shark Tank, that focused on how businesses can make the right pitch to grow and amplify their brand. Attendees also received a welcome from Vice President Kamala Harris, who sent a congratulatory letter to summit attendees. Link here. The DOE selected SoCalGas to host the summit because of the company's leadership in diverse spending through its long-recognized Supplier Diversity Program. In 2023, SoCalGas surpassed the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Supplier Diversity Program goal for the 31 st straight year by working with 618 diverse firms and subcontractors with over $1 billion spent, amounting to 44% of the company's total procurement with women, minority, disabled veteran, and LGBT-owned businesses. This achievement was reached through the company's continuing efforts to help increase the pool of diverse suppliers through broad outreach and education. SoCalGas' ASPIRE 2045 sustainability strategy includes a goal of achieving 45% spending with diverse business enterprises by 2025 and a goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the company's operations and delivery of energy by 2045, as well as goals related to safety, diversity, equity and inclusion, and investment in underserved communities. At the ERC, attendees can tour SoCalGas' H2 Innovation Experience, an innovative microgrid with the first clean hydrogen-powered microgrid and home model in North America. The ERC was also the first building in California to receive Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) "green building" recognition and is a model of advanced, energy-efficient and environmentally sensitive building technology. The MBE Connect Summit includes the U.S. Department of Commerce's Los Angeles Minority Business Development Agency Center, managed by the Pacific Asian Consortium in Employment (PACE). Sponsors include Primoris Service Corporation, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Hal Hayes Construction Inc., and E2 Consulting Engineers Inc. About SoCalGas Headquartered in Los Angeles, SoCalGas is the largest gas distribution utility in the United States.

First class 8 heavy-duty electric freight truck makes historic crossing of U.S.-Mexico border
SDG&E and Bali Express forge path to zero emissions freight transport Video and Pictures SAN DIEGO, April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and Bali Express today announced the historic crossing of a Class 8 heavy-duty electric freight truck from the U.S. into Mexico. The semi-truck made its maiden voyage into Mexico, marking a significant milestone as the binational region moves towards a net-zero future. These dedicated trucks will utilize recently built charging infrastructure installed by SDG&E designed to provide reliable and accessible charging options for medium- to heavy-duty electric freight trucks crossing the U.S.- Mexico border. "Today marks a historic milestone in our journey toward reducing emissions and paving the way for a cleaner energy future," said Caroline Winn, Chief Executive Officer at SDG&E. "This new electric corridor is a great example of how collaboration can create new and innovative ways to rethink how to propel our transportation systems towards electrification." Juan Baez, owner of the San Diego-based Bali Express emphasized the importance of working together in achieving sustainability goals. "We are thrilled to be working with SDG&E in this historic endeavor," said Baez. "By adding electric freight trucks, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also leading the way towards a more sustainable future for freight transportation on both sides of the border. We're proud to be a leader in this transition and excited about the first ever crossing." "The historic crossing of this electric freight truck symbolizes San Diego's commitment to innovation, cross-border cooperation and our binational community," said City of San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria. "We're not just reducing emissions; we're building a cleaner future for the people who live near our border and leading the way on international trade and environmental responsibility." The chargers were partially funded by a $200,000 grant through the California Energy Commission's Clean Transportation Program – which has provided more than $1 billion to alternative fuel and vehicle technology projects that are designed to deliver health, environmental and economic benefits to communities. "To accommodate the transition to zero-emission trucks on both sides of the border, it's critically important we have the necessary infrastructure," said California Energy Commissioner Patty Monahan. "The California Energy Commission is helping fund projects across the state to build a better and more equitable charging infrastructure system for both cars and trucks." San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Nora Vargas – who is Governor Newsom's appointee to the California Air Resources Board - emphasized the importance of reducing emissions in border communities while also growing our economy. "As a fronteriza, I am thrilled that we're moving forward with the use of bold and innovative energy technology that helps reduce air pollution, offers sustainable cross-border freight transportation, and strengthens our binational and interdependent economy," said Vargas. "I know the binational region firsthand, and this is a great example of the kind of public-private partnerships can improve air quality and promote economic prosperity for the binational region. As the Supervisor for border communities, I am proud and excited that we are moving toward a cleaner, greener and more prosperous future." The electric charging infrastructure is a part of SDG&E's Power Your Drive for Fleets program. The program connects fleet operators with resources and financial incentives to easily and cost-effectively design and install charging infrastructure for medium- and heavy-duty fleets.

Sempra Foundation’s support of employee-selected charities reaches nearly $7 million in 2023
Sempra’s vision to deliver energy with purpose comes in many forms — in 2023, the vision was delivered with millions of dollars in donations and tens of thousands of hours in volunteer time, including cleaning beaches, renovating school buildings and organizing schoolwork for teachers. At Sempra, to deliver energy with purpose means to invest in the communities we serve in multiple ways. The charitable work of Sempra’s dedicated employees is supported by the Sempra Foundation — a private foundation funded solely by Sempra — with a mission to build a more equitable and vibrant future for all. To that end, the Sempra Foundation funds the internal “My Energy” program where employees may request their charitable donations be matched by the Foundation. In addition, employees who volunteer with a nonprofit can request that their volunteer hours be matched with a monetary donation. “The Sempra Foundation is proud to champion people by supporting the causes that matter most to them,” Lisa Larroque Alexander, chair of the Sempra Foundation’s board of directors, said. “This is the perfect example of purpose-driven work.” Here’s a snapshot of the charitable efforts of Sempra’s employees and the Sempra Foundation: By the numbers In 2023, employees’ donations along with matches from the Sempra Foundation resulted in nearly $7 million in total donations. Employees logged nearly 40,000 volunteer hours last year and saw their volunteer efforts amplify with nearly $330,000 in donations from the Sempra Foundation. The giving numbers recorded in 2023 were an increase from 2022 when Sempra employees and the Sempra Foundation donated nearly $5 million and employees contributed nearly 32,000 volunteer hours. By the impact Employees supported more than 2,700 nonprofit organizations around the world. The top five causes focused on the following: Health and human services Education Civic and community efforts Emergency and safety Arts and culture Among the organizations that received support from employees across the Sempra family of companies and the Sempra Foundation are: World Central Kitchen American Red Cross Monarch School Hawaii Community Foundation Coalition for Clean Air I Love A Clean San Diego County Ballet Folklorico de Riverside Houston Symphony Society The Trevor Project Wounded Warrior Project Black Girls Code Native American Rights Fund In addition to these efforts, Sempra and the Sempra Foundation hosted three Charitable Spirit Weeks in 2023 where employees could volunteer and donate to causes related to Earth Week, Back-to-School initiatives and holiday giving.
