SDG&E Files Required Budget Proposal With Regulators, Seeks To Empower Clean Energy Future By Investing In Infrastructure Innovations

Safeguarding energy reliability against growing climate threats and building a clean energy future aligned with regional and state climate goals are the driving forces behind the 2024-2027 budget proposal that San Diego Gas & Electric filed yesterday with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Every four years, regulated utilities in the state are required to file what are formally known as general rate cases (GRC) outlining their capital investments and forecasted costs for operations and maintenance. (Download B Roll Here) In addition to maintaining high safety and reliability standards, SDG&E’s GRC also supports regional plans to reduce emissions, and the State of California’s goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. “Average electric bills at our company are the lowest among California’s electric investor-owned utilities, but we also recognize this is a difficult time to ask our customers to pay more given the state of the economy and inflationary pressures and are mindful of every dollar that we ask our customers to pay. Given the changes in climate and the growing need for a clean energy future, this will ultimately result in improvements that create long-term benefits now and for future generations,” SDG&E President Bruce Folkmann said. “The budget proposal we put forth represents the conscientious efforts of hundreds of SDG&E employees to strike the right balance between holding down costs and making the infrastructure investments needed for a clean energy future.” According to a recent study conducted by SDG&E titled The Path to Net Zero: A Decarbonization Roadmap for California, electrification of buildings and vehicles is crucial for California to become carbon neutral. The analysis indicates electricity consumption in the state could nearly double by 2045. Meeting this increased demand will require a significant expansion of the power grid to both meet emissions reduction targets while also maintaining grid reliability. All general rate cases are open and transparent proceedings conducted before the CPUC, involving extensive comments from customers, stakeholders and public interest advocates. Major Investments Outlined in the Budget Proposal Expand, operate and maintain electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure throughout the region, given all passenger vehicle sales in California are required to be zero-emission by 2035, followed by the requirement that all medium and heavy-duty vehicle sales are to be zero-emission by 2045, where feasible. Modernize the electric grid with cutting-edge technology to enable the integration of significantly more solar and wind generation, residential and commercial-scale battery storage, EV charging, and customer transition from natural gas to electric appliances. Install more utility-scale battery systems at strategic locations to maximize the use of solar energy, which is often curtailed in the middle of the day because there is more supply than demand, and to support reliable service during periods of high energy demand, such as extremely hot summer days. Develop additional clean fuel sources, such as green hydrogen for transportation and electric generation with the goal of supporting greater electrification. Reduce wildfire risk and minimize Public Safety Power Shutoffs by hardening 590 miles of power lines between 2022 and 2024, either by burying them underground or insulating them. Cut the risk for power outages by adopting grid automation and remote sensing tools and replacing aging or failure-prone equipment, such as underground Tee connectors and corroded overhead switches. Give customers more control, access and insights into their energy usage by implementing the next generation of smart meters. Upgrade microgrids with zero-emissions energy resources (i.e., battery storage) to keep vulnerable communities and critical resources, such as healthcare and CALFIRE facilities, powered during Public Safety Power Shutoffs. Strengthen cybersecurity and technology infrastructure to address the risk of ever-changing security threats that could potentially disrupt business operations and place customer and employee health and safety at risk. These upgrades also will help secure customer data to meet stronger privacy regulations. Accelerate the replacement of aging plastic natural gas pipelines to improve safety and reliability and reduce methane emissions. If SDG&E’s rate case is approved as submitted, the average residential customer could expect a monthly electric bill increase of about $9 compared to 2023, and a monthly natural gas bill increase of about $9.60 compared to 2023. SDG&E anticipates the CPUC to make a decision on its GRC in about 18 months, with new rates taking effect Jan. 1, 2024. More information about SDG&E’s filing can be found at sdgeratesinfo.com.

SoCalGas Submits 2024-2027 Rate Request to Invest in Infrastructure Reliability and Resiliency, Furthering California's Clean Energy Goals

Company's Rate Request Submitted to California Public Utilities Commission LOS ANGELES, May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- To provide reliable and safe gas delivery to the company's 22 million residential and commercial consumers and to support a reliable, resilient and increasingly interdependent and clean gas and electric energy system, Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas ) submitted its 2024-2027 General Rate Case (GRC ) yesterday to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC ), as required by law. The application is SoCalGas ' forecast of infrastructure investments that support innovation as well as costs for essential operation and maintenance of the gas system and will support SoCalGas ' ongoing efforts to build the cleanest, safest and most innovative energy company in America. "SoCalGas files this GRC during a time of transformative change," said SoCalGas President Maryam Brown. "Events in California and around the world have shown us that maintaining the safety, reliability, and affordability of our local energy systems remain critically important. Our rate request is the blueprint for how we can continue to support safe, affordable and reliable energy while we invest to accelerate California's clean energy transition." Following a rigorous analysis of risks and needs, SoCalGas' general rate case filing is a projection of what it will cost the company to operate, maintain, and upgrade its system in 2024 to continue the safe and reliable delivery of energy to its customers. Rates for the subsequent three years will depend on formulas to be approved by the CPUC. If approved by the CPUC, the critical investments proposed in this rate request are estimated to increase average residential customer bills by approximately $8.60 per month in 2024 when compared to 2023. "Customers today face rising costs for many essentials they need, including energy, and there is never a good time to ask customers to pay more. Every dollar we ask customers to pay will result in long-term benefits for future generations," Brown said. "This proposal represents the conscientious efforts of hundreds of SoCalGas employees to find the balance between managing costs and making the infrastructure investments that are essential to California's clean energy future." According to the latest American Gas Association survey of peer companies, SoCalGas was among the lowest average gas bills in the nation. SoCalGas' 2024-2027 rate request includes investments in four key areas: maintaining and enhancing reliability and safety, supporting sustainability, and promoting innovation and technology to meet operational and customer needs and workforce development. Enhancing Safety and Reliability Safety and reliability are cornerstones of SoCalGas' business and operations. Approximately 97% of capital expenditures and the majority of operations and maintenance expenditures in the proposal would be dedicated to support safety, reliability, and maintenance measures. Major investments include: SoCalGas' Gas Integrity Management Programs, which identify, evaluate and reduce integrity risks for the gas system and the company's Safety Management System, a comprehensive system designed to protect employee and contractor safety, customer and public safety, and the safety of the Company's gas system . Championing Sustainability This rate request marks the first by SoCalGas to include sustainability, alongside safety and reliability, as one of the driving forces to support investments. This is consistent with SoCalGas' ASPIRE 2045 Sustainability Strategy. SoCalGas' ASPIRE 2045 Sustainability Strategy is a holistic and broad environmental, social, and governance strategy that includes SoCalGas' industry leading aspiration to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045. Brown continued, "ASPIRE 2045's success will require public policy support and alignment. It is designed to have, and is already having, a positive impact on the communities we serve and strengthening business outcomes that benefit both our customers and the energy infrastructure of the future." Accelerating the transition to increasingly cleaner energy will require investment in activities that produce immediate and near-term emissions reductions such as renewable natural gas and modernized electric fleets, and that also lay the groundwork for deeper systemwide decarbonization over the long-term (e.g., hydrogen pilots). Promoting Innovation and Technology SoCalGas' rate request promotes new innovations and technology to meet customers' evolving needs. Proposed investments to modernize the company's Customer Information System platform, for example, are aimed at improving the customer service experience. In addition, SoCalGas' proposal includes investments to maintain a strong cybersecurity program, a critical need today and going forward, to protect critical information and sensitive customer data. Developing our Workforce Skilled employees are essential to providing safe and reliable service to customers and for helping the company meet its sustainability goals. SoCalGas' employee training, workforce planning, and total rewards programs are structured to attract and maintain a high-performing workforce. General Rate Case Process SoCalGas and other investor-owned utilities in California file General Rate Case applications with the CPUC every four years. The CPUC oversees the proceedings, which include numerous regulatory and public hearings with testimony from ratepayer advocates, environmental groups, and others. The general rate request process is scheduled to take between 18 months and two years and is expected to conclude in late 2023.

The HOA also provides PGNiG the opportunity in 2022 to reallocate volumes from the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project to the Port Arthur LNG project. Additionally, Sempra Infrastructure and PGNiG expect to continue working toward a framework for the reduction, mitigation and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions across the LNG value chain. Sempra Infrastructure is developing the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project, which is expected to include a single LNG train with a maximum production capacity of approximately 6.75 Mtpa of LNG as well as debottlenecking of the existing three LNG trains at the facility in Hackberry, Louisiana. Last month, Sempra Infrastructure signed an HOA with the Cameron LNG partners for the development of the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. In addition, Sempra Infrastructure is also developing the proposed Port Arthur LNG project, an approximately 13.5 Mtpa, fully permitted facility on a 3,000-acre site in Jefferson County, Texas. The HOA is a preliminary, non-binding arrangement, and the development of the Cameron LNG Phase 2 and Port Arthur LNG projects remains subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including reaching definitive agreements, securing all necessary permits, signing engineering and construction contracts, obtaining financing and incentives and reaching a final investment decision for each project.

SoCalGas Renews Program to Deliver Renewable Natural Gas to Vehicle Fueling Stations

CO2 emissions avoided over last three years are equivalent to eliminating nearly 31 million gallons of gasoline LOS ANGELES, May 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas ) has renewed a program to supply renewable natural gas (RNG ) to all 32 of the company's fueling stations, along with six in the San Diego area, signing three-year contracts with suppliers U.S. Gain and Element Markets as demand continues to grow. In April 2019, SoCalGas began replacing traditional compressed natural gas at fueling stations with RNG to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet California's climate goals. RNG is produced by capturing methane emissions from organic waste materials. Depending on the source of organic waste, RNG can be carbon negative because it captures more greenhouse gases than it emits. Since September 2020, the RNG delivered at the 38 fueling stations is considered carbon negative by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). RNG delivered at the 38 fueling stations helped avoid approximately 275,000 metric tons of CO2 emissions over the last three years – equivalent to eliminating nearly 31 million gallons of gasoline burned, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator. "Our first three years dispensing RNG at our fueling stations have been a dramatic success, both in terms of moving forward toward our climate goals by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but also in demonstrating the growing demand for clean RNG in our region," said Elsa Valay-Paz, SoCalGas vice president of gas acquisition. "We dispensed 46 percent more RNG the last year than we did during the first two years, and we expect demand to continue to grow." The new three-year renewal continues SoCalGas' partnership with U.S. Gain. SoCalGas signed a new contract with Element Markets to provide RNG as a second partner. "We're honored to continue working with SoCalGas to build on the success of the last three years, connecting their fleet with RNG in support of their decarbonization journey," said Bryan Nudelbacher, U.S. Gain's Director of Business Development. "Successful programs like this can help accelerate RNG adoption across industries, applications and geographies to reduce emissions and make a real impact on climate change." "We're pleased to have been chosen to partner with SoCalGas as they explore and expand the use of low carbon RNG," said Angela Schwarz, CEO of Element Markets. "As the leading independent marketer of RNG in the U.S. and, with our recent merger with Bluesource, the largest marketer and originator of carbon and environmental credits in North America, we welcome the opportunity to grow in our role a trusted provider of decarbonization solutions that progress sustainability mandates and voluntary goals." Last year, SoCalGas received the 2021 NGV Achievement Award in the Utility Leadership for outstanding contributions to the advancement of natural gas as a transportation fuel, in part for its RNG efforts at fueling stations. RNG is an important tool in SoCalGas' efforts to reach both California's and the company's climate goals. In 2019, the company established benchmarks including delivering 20 percent renewable natural gas (RNG) by 2030. Last year, SoCalGas expanded its sustainability goals further, setting its aims on achieving net zero greenhouse emissions in its operations and the energy it delivers by 2045. And in October, SoCalGas shared its Clean Fuels Study, a comprehensive technical analysis that examines how to achieve California's carbon neutrality goals through a more integrated, reliable, and affordable energy system with a diverse array of clean fuels that includes RNG and hydrogen.
