SoCalGas Awards More than $230,000 in Scholarships to 60 Central and Southern California Students Pursuing Higher Education

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced the company will award 60 students from Southern and Central California scholarships totaling $232,000. Recipients were evaluated on academic achievement, community engagement, and an essay about California's clean energy future. This year, 86 percent of scholarship recipients were minority students. "At SoCalGas, we believe that a well-educated workforce is essential for a vital and economically healthy community. That's why we are proud to contribute to the education of students pursuing higher education through our annual scholarship program," said Andy Carrasco, vice president of strategy and engagement, and chief environmental officer at SoCalGas. "Helping students prepare for their professional careers is part of our commitment toward supporting the communities we serve." SoCalGas partnered with more than thirty community and non-profit organizations to identify this year's recipients. Graduating high school students attending a vocational school, technical school or community college will receive $1,000, while transferring community college students and high school graduates attending an accredited four-year college or university will receive $5,000. Yolanda Carrion, a graduate from South East High School in South Gate who will attend the University of Southern California this fall said, "I am a first-generation student planning to major in Public Policy at the University of Southern California. I am eager to begin to help address the social justice issues that plague my community. For now, it is as a student and in the future I hope as a community organizer. I am thankful for the new opportunities SoCalGas has awarded me and the continued support from my friends and family." Mikhai Davis, a Culver City High School graduate attending Santa Monica College in the fall said, "This scholarship means so much to me and will be very helpful because it will give me the ability to pay for my books allowing me to focus more on them than their expenses. It will help me in my major of business by allowing me not to worry about covering certain expenses. I am very grateful for this opportunity and will use it to broaden my horizons." Another scholarship recipient, Hailey Gough, said, "I attended Ernest Righetti High School. I will be attending the California State University of Fullerton. As of now, my major remains undeclared. Although I do not yet know what career path I will pursue, I am thinking of working in the sports industry. To me, this scholarship shows that hard work does not go unnoticed, and that consistent effort will eventually earn recognition. To my family, this scholarship serves as reimbursement for all the support and resources they have put into me and my successes. As I begin my college career and choose the profession I want to pursue, this scholarship will help support my goals and remind me that constant persistence results in success." In addition to providing academic scholarships, SoCalGas supports technology-based learning in science, engineering, and math at schools across the company's service territory.

SoCalGas Brings Awareness to Safe Digging Practices in Honor of National 811 Day

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In observance of National 811 Day, Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) reminds homeowners and professional excavators to put safety first and contact 811 before starting any construction projects. This free service connects homeowners and professional excavators with the Underground Service Alert, who is responsible for relaying important information surrounding the planned dig site with appropriate utility companies. After a request is received and processed, professional utility technicians will then either mark their underground infrastructure or notify the individual if there are no underground lines. Marking utility lines before construction helps protect public safety, prevents injuries, and reduces the potential for service costly repairs for homeowners. "At SoCalGas, the safety of our employees, customers and the general public comes first. Failing to contact 811 can have tragic consequences," said Gina Orozco, vice president of gas engineering and system integrity at SoCalGas. "A year ago, we lost one of our own when he responded to a damaged service line." "The health and safety of our employees, customers and the community always come first. Contacting 811 is free, effortless and essential in making sure you and your families are protected from dangers of an accidental dig-in, which can lead to serious injury, costly property damage or service interruptions," said Gina Orozco, vice president of gas engineering and system integrity at SoCalGas. "Whether you're setting up a new fence or simply working in your yard – remember to contact 811 at least 2 business days prior to digging to keep you and your family safe against preventable damage." This year, to bring even more attention to the importance of contacting 811, SoCalGas is partnering with home renovation experts for the "Dig It to Win It" contest on Facebook and Instagram. Participants are encouraged to submit home and yard improvement projects beginning on August 11 until September 10. A winner will be selected from two separate categories for a chance to win an $811 VISA gift card each. According the Common Ground Alliance (CGA), in 2019, approximately 45 percent of all excavator damages in California were a result of failing to mark underground utility lines. Accidental dig-ins are preventable, and the likelihood of hitting a utility line is decreased by 99 percent when individuals contact 811. In the past year alone, SoCalGas recorded nearly 3,000 cases of damage to underground infrastructure. With underground utility lines laying just inches below the surface under streets, sidewalks and private property, it is crucial for you to know where they are before digging. SoCalGas encourages the public to contact 811 through their online ticket system or dial 8-1-1 at least two business days before beginning any digging project. Follow these steps before starting any project that involves digging: Mark out your proposed excavation area in white (paint, chalk, flour or other suitable materials). Contact Underground Service Alter at 811 to submit a location request online or dial 8-1-1 at least two business days before digging. Wait until a SoCalGas technician has marked our natural gas lines, indicating pipe material and diameter, or let you know that the area is clear. Remember that SoCalGas only use yellow paint, flags or stakes to mark the location of natural gas pipes. Use only hand tools to dig within 24 inches of a marked utility line to carefully expose the exact locations before using any power excavation equipment in the area. Report all pipe damage, regardless of how small or how big it may be. Remember, no damage is too small to report. Contact us immediately at 1-800-427-2200. If you've hired a contractor, make sure the contractor contacts 811 to have our natural gas lines marked.

SoCalGas to Award $150,000 in Grants to Local Cities to Fund Planning for Climate Adaptation and Resiliency

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced it will again award Climate Adaptation & Resiliency Grants to local cities to support efforts to increase resiliency in the face of climate change risks such as wildfires, floods, extreme heat, drought, sea level rise, and other major weather events. The competitive grant program provides $50,000 each to three municipalities in the SoCalGas service territory and is designed to help cities and counties reduce the impact of climate change-related threats. The application process opens today. An advisory panel of planning and sustainability experts from the Los Angeles Regional Collaborative for Climate Action and Sustainability (LARC) and the American Planning Association-California Chapter (APA-California) will assist with the selection of the winning applications from across Southern and Central California. "Collaboration between utilities and municipalities is key to resiliency when preparing for climate events such as wildfires, earthquakes and floods," said Andy Carrasco, vice president of strategy & engagement and chief environmental officer at SoCalGas. "The natural gas infrastructure is critical to the resiliency of the energy supply during natural disasters and as we work to implement our vision for a 21 st century energy system, we look forward to providing affordable and cleaner energy to cities while helping them maintain resiliency." "As LA's regional climate collaborative, LARC supports cross-jurisdictional collaboration and facilitates the exchange of information, best practices, and cutting-edge research" said Erin Coutts, LARC's executive director. "We are excited to advise a grant program that encourages partnerships and will help our cities address climate vulnerabilities in disadvantaged communities." "As shapers of the built environment, planners recognize our critical role in helping the communities we serve prepare for the risks associated with climate change," said Ashley Atkinson, president-elect of the American Planning Association's California Chapter. "We're grateful to SoCalGas for helping local cities elevate climate adaptation among competing priorities by providing grant funding for essential plan updates." Municipalities embarking on a Hazard Mitigation Plan Update, Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Plan, or incorporating climate change impacts into the Safety Element of their General Plan are eligible to apply. Grant proposals will be assessed according to the following criteria: DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES: SoCalGas encourages applicants to address climate vulnerabilities in disadvantaged communities. COLLABORATION: Reflect coordination and partnerships with a diverse range of stakeholders (energy/water utilities, transportation, housing, etc.). CO-BENEFITS: Identify potential co-benefits of the adaptation work, such as benefits to public health, air quality, reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, and the economy. The annual grants will be funded by shareholders and will not impact natural gas bills. The deadline to submit proposals is September 30, 2020. Last year, the City of Loma Linda, the City of Malibu and Los Angeles County were awarded the three SoCalGas adaptation and resiliency grants. Los Angeles County is utilizing its grant to prepare an Adaptive Capacity Assessment for disadvantaged communities in unincorporated Los Angeles County, which will inform and be incorporated into the County's Safety Element Update. The City of Loma Linda is making use of its grant to update its local hazard mitigation plan as well as the Safety Element of its General Plan. Finally, Malibu is applying its grant to create a comprehensive and actionable Community Resilience and Adaptation Plan that will be integrated into the Safety Element of the City's General Plan. A study on the impacts of four climate-related disasters on the energy sector found that natural gas infrastructure exhibited significant resilience because it is underground. In addition, the study showed that backup generation powered by natural gas pipelines can provide on-site electricity generation for hospitals, relief centers and other critical facilities during a disaster. A summary of its findings may be found here. The climate grant program is part of SoCalGas' vision to be the cleanest gas utility in North America. As part of this plan, the utility committed to displacing 20% of its traditional natural gas supply with RNG by 2030 through its reimagined 21 st century energy system. It also has the potential to include several other clean energy strategies such as hydrogen and will provide clean, reliable and affordable energy.

Martin, chairman and CEO of Sempra Energy. "Over the last several years, the disciplined execution of our North American strategy has made our company stronger. This can be seen in the quality and strength of our earnings, as well as the visibility we now have to our future growth." Sempra Energy's earnings for the first six months of 2020 were $2.999 billion, or $9.91 per diluted share, compared with earnings of $795 million, or $2.85 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2019.

Executing on a Disciplined StrategySempra Energy completed the sales of its South American businesses in June, marking the conclusion of its broad, two-year capital rotation plan. The company's investments are now focused on transmission and distribution energy infrastructure in the most attractive markets in North America, including California, Texas, Mexico and North America's liquefied natural gas (LNG) export market. In total, including the sales of the company's South American businesses and its U.S. renewables businesses and non-utility natural gas storage assets, the company has generated approximately $8.3 billion in total gross proceeds from these divestitures. The recent sale of the company's Chilean businesses remains subject to post-closing adjustments. Proceeds from these transactions are being used to further bolster the company's strong liquidity position, strengthen the balance sheet, support the execution of its robust capital plan and return value to shareholders. As part of Sempra Energy's goal of returning additional value to shareholders, the company recently completed a $500 million share buyback program. It also received authorization from its Board of Directors to repurchase an additional $2 billion of shares at future dates. Sempra Energy's capital allocation strategy has enabled the company to return approximately $13 billion to common shareholders since 2000 through cash dividends and common share repurchases. Advancing Record Capital Plans at U.S. UtilitiesSempra Energy, including its ownership share in amounts funded by unconsolidated entities, is projected to invest a record $32 billion in capital over its 2020-2024, five-year plan with a focus on improving the safety and reliability of its transmission and distribution utility businesses in California and Texas. Both San Diego Gas & Electric Co. (SDG&E) and Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) continue to successfully execute on their infrastructure investments. More than 80% of their investments are allocated to enhance safety and reliability, including wildfire mitigation programs at SDG&E. Since 2007, SDG&E has invested over $2 billion to help mitigate wildfire risk in and around its service territory. The utility continues to employ the latest technologies under its Fire Safe 3.0 program – such as artificial intelligence-based predictive models and high-speed weather data – to help advance the safety of its communities. SoCalGas is also investing in collaborative research and development related to hydrogen and power-to-gas technology. SoCalGas has already deployed a demonstration of power-to-gas technology at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory where green hydrogen produced from electrolysis powered by solar panels is converted to pipeline quality methane for storage and later use. In Texas, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (Oncor) is executing on its capital plan. Approximately 90% of the projects in Oncor's transmission budget through 2021 can commence construction without any further approvals. Oncor has connected approximately 20,000 new premises in the second quarter. Oncor is also on pace to surpass the number of new requests for transmission interconnections it received in 2019, which is predominantly driven by an increase in utility scale solar generation activity. Despite the impacts of COVID-19, Oncor believes it will continue to have a steady increase in interconnection requests for the remainder of 2020. Continuing Progress on Energy Infrastructure Projects Phase 1 of the Cameron LNG export facility is expected to reach full commercial operations in the coming days, marking the start of full run-rate earnings and cash flows. The facility is expected to generate nearly $12 billion of after-debt-service cash flow for Sempra Energy during the 20-year contract period. Train 3 at the Cameron LNG facility reached substantial completion on July 31. Sempra Energy continues to work closely with the highest levels of the Mexican government on obtaining a 20-year export permit for Phase 1 of the proposed Energía Costa Azul (ECA) LNG liquefaction-export infrastructure project under development in Baja California, Mexico. Phase 1 of the proposed project, developed by Sempra LNG and Infraestructura Energética Nova, S.A.B. de C.V. (IEnova), is planned to be a single-train LNG export facility with an initial offtake capacity of approximately 2.5 million tonnes per annum. The project would enable the production of LNG in Baja California, with a view toward diversifying the region's energy supplies, lowering the price of energy and supporting strategic exports to growing Asian markets. Driving Sustainable ValueSempra Energy is focused on creating sustainable value for shareholders, employees, customers and communities. In May, Sempra Energy published its 12th corporate sustainability report, highlighting the company's strategies to achieve resilient operations and continue a leadership position in sustainable business practices. The full report is available on the Sustainability page of the company's website. Sempra Energy continues to prioritize the safety and well-being of its employees, customers, partners and communities through the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has been engaging with public health authorities to implement health and safety guidelines for the protection of its customers and employees who are providing essential energy services to hospitals, healthcare facilities, first responders and others on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic. Face coverings, physical distancing, increased sanitization, temperature checks and other measures have been implemented for employees who are currently reporting to their work locations, and those same safety protocols will be in place when other employees return to the office. Earnings GuidanceSempra Energy is updating its full-year 2020 GAAP earnings-per-common-share (EPS) guidance range to $12.59 to $13.19 from $12.38 to $13.32, primarily reflecting completion of the sale of its South American businesses. The company is also reaffirming its full-year 2020 adjusted EPS guidance range that was increased to $7.20 to $7.80 on June 30, 2020. Additionally, the company is reaffirming its full-year 2021 EPS guidance range of $7.50 to $8.10, driven primarily by strong execution at its U.S. utility businesses. Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresNon-GAAP financial measures include Sempra Energy's adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS for the second quarters and first six months of 2020 and 2019, and full-year 2020 adjusted EPS guidance. See Table A for additional information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.

It also reflects a decrease in weighted-average common shares outstanding from recent repurchases of Sempra Energy common stock under an accelerated share repurchase program. (2) Weighted-average common shares outstanding does not include the dilutive effect of mandatory convertible preferred stock, as they are assumed to be antidilutive for full-year 2020. If such mandatory convertible preferred stock were dilutive for the full year, the 2020 GAAP EPS Guidance Range would differ from the range presented above.

SoCalGas and Goodwill Southern California Team Up to Bring Customers Easy Ways to Save Money and Energy

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced it is working with Goodwill Southern California to promote its energy efficiency and money-saving programs for qualifying customers. The Energy Savings Assistance (ESA) program and the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) bill discount program help customers save money on their SoCalGas bill while also helping to improve the safety and comfort of their homes. SoCalGas will publicize the programs with banners, flyers and applications at all participating Goodwill stores in its service territory beginning this month. "Now more than ever, we need to make sure that all customers who qualify for these programs are aware of them and are getting signed up. With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting many families in Southern California economically, programs like these could help immensely. Qualifying customers are not only eligible for a 20% discount on their monthly SoCalGas bill from CARE; if they also take advantage of the ESA Program for home retrofits as well, their combined annual savings could grow to over $800," said Brian Prusnek, director of customer programs and assistance at SoCalGas. "Our partnership with Goodwill is another example of our commitment to our customers and our communities so that they have clean, reliable and affordable energy." "Goodwill Southern California is proud to partner with SoCalGas, an organization that recognizes the importance of giving back to the community," said Patrick McClenahan, President and CEO of Goodwill Southern California. "We are particularly appreciative that this alliance will provide relief for families in the communities we serve." In addition to providing printed materials and applications inside 10 Goodwill Southern California retail stores, SoCalGas will also work with employees at Goodwill SoCal Employment Centers who can work directly with their clients to provide information on SoCalGas's energy- and money-saving measures. The CARE assistance program aims to aid people in paying their utility bills. Qualifying customers can receive a 20% discount on their SoCalGas bill each month and save an average of $145 dollars over two years through this program. Currently, SoCalGas has over 1.5 million customers enrolled in the CARE program. This is especially important in light of increasing economic impacts caused by the pandemic. The ESA program provides eligible customers with home improvements, at no cost to the renter or homeowner, that help conserve energy, reduce natural gas use and will enhance their safety, health, and comfort. SoCalGas provides this service to over 100,000 customers a year. Those who qualify receive services and professionally installed upgrades worth hundreds of dollars. Improvements may include clothes washer replacement, water heater replacement, furnace replacement, attic insulation, door weather-stripping and more. This program helps customers save money on energy – up to $700 annually. SoCalGas has helped over one million of its customers save on their energy bills through energy efficient upgrades with the ESA program. To qualify for either CARE or ESA, the customer or someone in the customer's household must be enrolled in a public assistance program or meet income qualifications. To learn more, please visit socalgas.com/assistance. SoCalGas has donated more than $2.5 million to nonprofit organizations for COVID-19 recovery efforts, including supporting the region's workforce, feeding the hungry, providing bill assistance to customers, and more.

SoCalGas Brings Reliable, Affordable Natural Gas to California City Residents

CALIFORNIA CITY, Calif., July 23, 2020 – Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today joined the California City community to launch a program that will bring reliable and affordable natural gas service to as many as 224 homes that currently use wood and propane. Participating homes will be upgraded with new natural gas appliances and a professionally installed natural gas service line. The upgrades will help customers save money on their energy bills and reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved of the California City program in 2018, along with ten other pilot programs to bring safe, affordable, and reliable energy to underserved communities in the San Joaquin Valley counties. For photos from today’s pilot launch in California City, click here. “This program will provide dozens of families with more affordable, reliable energy for the long term,” said Jeff Walker, vice president of customer solutions for SoCalGas. “Even better, it will give homeowners access to a full suite of energy efficiency programs that help keep their energy costs affordable and compared to propane, natural gas will reduce greenhouse gas emissions linked to climate change.” In addition to natural gas equipment upgrades, the new SoCalGas customers will now be eligible for a variety of SoCalGas’ energy efficiency and bill assistance programs to help them conserve energy and save money. In 2019 alone, SoCalGas’ energy efficiency programs saved customers $55.6 million and reduced emissions equal to taking 57,000 cars off California roads for one year. “The process has been smooth and easy,” said Nicole Freehart, a California City homeowner who recently had utility service installed. “The entire SoCalGas, Staples Energy and Self-Help Enterprise teams were efficient and worked seamlessly to get the work completed. I am very happy with my gas service and new appliances.” The new SoCalGas customers will now also be able to set up their own "My Account" to view and pay their bill online, schedule service and/or sign up for paperless billing. Income-qualified customers can also benefit from energy savings and assistance programs that can help them save money. More information about these programs is available at socalgas.com (search “Assistance”) or by calling 1-800-331-7593 (available in English and Spanish). In addition, about half the households participating in the program may also receive solar thermal units, which further reduce the amount of energy needed to heat water. The thermal system captures the warmth of the sun and uses it to reliably heat water, working in tandem with an existing natural gas water heater. Interested homeowners can apply by visiting www.socalgas.com/californiacity. Natural gas is the most affordable and reliable way for homeowners to heat their homes, heat hot water, and cook their food. Today, more than 90 percent of homes in Southern California rely on natural gas for space and water heating or cooking. In surveys, Southern Californians regularly report they prefer natural gas for cooking, and home and water heating by a margin of 4 to 1, citing its affordability.

SoCalGas Now Powering Two Los Angeles Facilities with Bloom Energy AlwaysON Microgrids

LOS ANGELES and SAN JOSE, Calif., July 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced it has begun powering two of its largest Los Angeles-area facilities with Bloom Energy (NYSE: BE) solid oxide fuel cells. The switch to fuel cells will reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, air pollutants and the cost of power, as well as provide reliable electricity independent of the power grid. Photos of the fuel cells at one of the SoCalGas facilities are located here. To produce electricity, Bloom Energy's fuel cells could use natural gas, renewable natural gas, or hydrogen. The fuel cells at SoCalGas intake natural gas and oxygen, and through an electrochemical reaction, produce electricity without any combustion. Bloom Energy Servers can operate at 60% efficiency and are considered one of the most efficient power solutions currently available. More information on how fuel cells work may be found here. "Using Bloom Energy's fuel cells for our facilities is yet another way that SoCalGas is demonstrating our commitment to be an industry leader supporting a 21st century energy system," said Maryam Brown, president of SoCalGas. "These onsite generation systems will provide clean, affordable and resilient energy to key facilities so that we can ensure safe and reliable service to our 22 million customers." "The SoCalGas pipeline system is integral to many Bloom Energy Servers installed in central and southern California, so we were eager to team up again to bring fuel cells to SoCalGas' own facilities," said Kris Kim, managing director of strategic development at Bloom Energy. "Fuel cells at utility-owned sites are a natural fit as we are both looking to the future of energy and prioritize qualities like fuel flexibility, emissions reductions, efficiency, and reliability." "I am delighted to see SoCalGas has chosen Pico Rivera to showcase this exciting new technology," said Sen. Bob Archuleta (D- Pico Rivera). "It is no longer up for debate; hydrogen will be a part of California's clean energy future. I have fought for investments in both hydrogen infrastructure and clean transportation programs in the California Legislature and I will continue to do so. I am proud of SoCalGas for taking the initiative and bringing these investments to the 32nd Senate District and I look forward to continuing to work with them as we pursue our clean energy goals." In addition to providing cost savings and improving reliability of power, the fuel cells will lead to a reduction in carbon emissions by 683 metric tons per year compared to the current grid profile – which is like eliminating annual GHG emissions produced by the electricity use of 112 homes. Because no fuel is burned to produce the electricity, smog-forming pollutants and particulate matter are reduced by more than 99%. And, because they virtually eliminate all combustion-related pollutants, the California Air Resources Board has certified the Bloom Energy Servers as a Distributed Generation Technology that do not require a generation permit, a designation given only to the cleanest technologies in the state. Adoption of distributed power generation solutions, also called distributed energy resources, is a growing trend in the U.S. These solutions can combine environmental benefits and the ability to provide uninterrupted power in the event of natural disasters or outages. While SoCalGas uses solar generation at 6 of its 113 facilities, the company selected the fuel cell solution for its Monterey Park and Pico Rivera facilities for their superior resiliency. The Bloom Energy Servers at each of SoCalGas' facilities total 950 kilowatts in size, replacing over 90% of the baseload power that would otherwise come from the grid. The Servers are configured as AlwaysON Microgrids. Microgrids are a distributed power supply that are always-on – operating alongside the main grid and independently during an outage. Bloom Energy has deployed its Servers at 600 sites globally, and more than 85 of those are microgrids, which have powered through over 1,500 outages. The environmental benefits of switching to fuel cells at these facilities are part of SoCalGas' vision to be the cleanest gas utility in North America, and support a 21st century energy system that provides clean, affordable, resilient and integrated energy. As part of its vision, the utility last year committed to replacing five percent of natural gas supplies to its core customers with renewable natural gas (RNG) by 2022 and 20% by 2030.
