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.

SoCalGas Joins Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Electrochaea to Help Advance Gas Infrastructure Decarbonization

This innovative technology could help revolutionize biomethane production and help decarbonize gas infrastructure by displacing traditional natural gas with carbon-neutral synthetic biomethane. LOS ANGELES, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) today announced its collaboration with Electrochaea and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) on an innovative research project that aims to develop a single-stage electro-bioreactor to transform excess renewable electricity and biogas into carbon-neutral synthetic biomethane, also known as renewable natural gas (RNG). This approach could mark a significant advancement in power to gas technology and underscores the viability of potential for synthetic biomethane to help decarbonize natural gas infrastructure and its end uses from residential heating to manufacturing industries and transportation. SoCalGas has contributed to the project's technical development and helped provide funding, which was also supported by a $1 million grant from the Department of Energy (DOE). "This technology is not just an innovative approach to energy generation; it has the potential to be a versatile solution that aligns with California's vision for carbon neutrality by 2045," said Jawaad Malik, Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer at SoCalGas . "This project demonstrates our aspirations for a sustainable energy future and highlights how strategic collaborations can yield solutions designed to benefit the environment, the economy and our communities." If developed at scale, this technology could increase the yield of RNG produced from carbon dioxide sources like anaerobic digesters, landfills, dairies, fermentation facilities or industrial processes. The hybrid bioreactor and electrolyzer system harnesses the power of Electrochaea's proprietary microbial biocatalyst, which consumes hydrogen and carbon dioxide, transforming these inputs into RNG. "We believe this technology will help enable decarbonization of the natural gas grid infrastructure by providing a renewable source of natural gas," said Simon Pang, a materials scientist in LLNL's Materials Science Division who heads the project. "This renewable natural gas can be moved and used in existing infrastructure, allowing the technology to be deployed soon to meet green energy demand. Moreover, by producing pipeline-quality renewable natural gas from biogas, we can increase the value of biogas and reduce the likelihood that it will be vented to the atmosphere, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving local air quality." The two-year project aims to efficiently combine the processes of electrolysis and methanation in one streamlined unit. A single unit would simplify how the system works, bring efficiency, lower costs, and have a potential to adjust to changing energy demand and renewable electricity sources. "Electrochaea's team is highly committed to contributing to a safe, affordable, and environmentally friendly energy supply now and in the future. The new highly efficient single-stage bioreactor is an essential asset in this endeavor," said Dr. Doris Hafenbradl, Electrochaea's Chief Technology Officer and Managing Director. "We are excited to collaborate with SoCalGas and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory who are undisputed leaders in their respective fields. The enthusiasm to continue and expand this collaborative effort is a testament to the shared commitment to making a meaningful impact on the energy landscape." Cleaner energy innovations designed to help decarbonize hard-to-electrify sectors will be a key component of California's efforts to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045. To that end, SoCalGas continues to develop Angeles Link, a proposed clean renewable hydrogen pipeline system to serve Southern and Central California. Angeles Link could be the nation's largest clean renewable hydrogen pipeline system and help significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty transportation, electric generation, industrial processes and other hard-to-electrify sectors of the California economy.

Cimarron will produce energy equivalent to the annual energy consumption of more than 84,000 homes and is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around 210,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per year. 1 The construction of the new facility is expected to create more than 2,000 direct and indirect jobs with additional local community investment under Sempra Infrastructure's framework for corporate giving as part of the company's commitment to the communities where it operates. The first two phases of the ESJ wind complex, totaling 263 MW, are under long-term power purchase agreements with San Diego Gas & Electric. Once the Cimarron project is in operation, the ESJ wind complex will have total installed capacity of more than 580 MW and will represent one of the largest commercial wind projects in all of Mexico. Sempra Infrastructure has submitted an interconnection request for an additional 300 MW of capacity at the site, which has a potential expansion opportunity of more than 650 MW, which if developed could result in Sempra Infrastructure owning over 1,200 MW of installed wind capacity in the Baja California region. The Cimarron wind project is being developed by Sempra Infrastructure's low carbon solutions business line which is focused on commercializing and deploying low carbon solutions in order to meet the growing demand for cleaner energy in the form of electrons and molecules. Sempra Infrastructure's existing portfolio of renewable resources includes more than 1,000 MW of clean energy infrastructure, as well as hydrogen fuel production and advanced carbon capture, usage and storage technologies that are under development. About Sempra Infrastructure Sempra Infrastructure, headquartered in Houston, is focused on delivering energy for a better world by developing, building and operating low carbon solutions, energy networks, and LNG infrastructure that are expected to play a crucial role in the energy systems of the future.

SDG&E's supply chain boosts economy by $2.6 billion in 2023

Program Expanded Opportunities for Hundreds of Small and Diverse Businesses, Helping to Promote Economic Prosperity SAN DIEGO, March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- San Diego Gas & Electric's (SDG&E) procurement program generated $2.59 billion in direct economic impact in 2023, contracting with more than 2,000 businesses for goods and services to deliver on the company's mission to serve the 3.7 million people in its service area with increasingly clean, safe and reliable energy infrastructure. More than 43% of SDG&E's total expenditures were with diverse suppliers – enterprises owned by minorities, women, LGBT individuals, service-disabled veterans and persons with disabilities, according to the company's annual supplier diversity report submitted recently to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Nearly 600, or a third of the suppliers who did business with SDG&E in 2023, were diverse businesses. In 2023, SDG&E's spending with diverse businesses reached $450.6 million in San Diego County and $950.7 million in California. For the 19th consecutive year, SDG&E has not only met but surpassed the CPUC's supplier diversity goal. "We are laser-focused on maximizing every dollar for our customers, while also growing economic opportunities for small and diverse businesses in our region," said SDG&E CEO Caroline Winn. "Championing people by creating opportunities through diversity, equity and inclusion is one of our core values." SDG&E contracts with suppliers for a wide range of goods and services, everything from vegetation management, undergrounding, civil engineering and electric construction to IT, fire prevention, project management and material procurement and transport. Since launching its supplier diversity program in the 1980s, SDG&E has helped many small businesses grow into primes. Some of the company's diverse primes are paying it forward by serving as mentors to diverse subcontractors. Last year, for the first time, SDG&E engaged Rancho Tree Service, a Minority Business Enterprise, as a prime contractor to provide vegetation management services – an important component of the company's Wildfire Mitigation Plan. "We are a family-owned business, and we are proud of our local operation and the jobs we have created through our vegetation management work with SDG&E," said Jose De La Cruz, owner of Rancho Tree Service. "Our crews help keep local communities safe from wildfires by trimming and clearing trees, bushes and other plants to prevent them from coming into contact with our electric infrastructure, such as power lines." "Large employers like SDG&E play a significant role in sustaining and growing our region's economy because of the large volume of goods and services they purchase," said Mark Cafferty, president and chief executive officer of the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation. "Our research has shown that if major companies make small shifts in procurement to direct more spending locally, it can help create thousands of jobs and add tens of millions of dollars to the local economy." SDG&E continues to grow its diverse supplier pool through collaboration with community-based organizations and business associations.

Students Learn About Financial Literacy and Energy Efficiency Through SoCalGas' Junior Achievement Storefront that Showcases Clean Energy's Future

The storefront is modeled after SoCalGas' [H2] Innovation Experience and equips the next generation of leaders with knowledge of clean energy LOS ANGELES, March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) today unveiled its newly revamped storefront at Junior Achievement of SoCal's (JASoCal) JA Finance Park, an interactive educational space of business storefronts that provides students with lessons on financial literacy. Located just outside Griffith Park, JA Finance Park hosts more than 15,000 visitors including students and volunteers each year. Drawing inspiration from SoCalGas' H2 Innovation Experience ([H2]IE) in Downey, Calif., SoCalGas' storefront provides practical experiences in personal finance, sustainability and career exploration in STEM fields. The utility has collaborated with the organization for over 23 years and has contributed more than $300,000 to help foster leadership skills in the next generation. "This educational space is more than just an exhibit; it's a foundation for empowering young minds with practical life skills and a deeper understanding of energy efficiency," said Paul Goldstein, Vice President of Gas Transmission and Storage at SoCalGas and JASoCal Board Member. "SoCalGas employee volunteers help bring real-world financial and energy-efficient scenarios to life for students through a hands-on approach, nurturing future leaders by equipping them with vital skills. We're committed to inspiring a new generation to lead in sustainable energy through education and practical experiences." The storefront features mock scenarios that enhance students' abilities to budget, manage expenses and make informed financial decisions. The space also emphasizes the importance of energy use in financial planning, teaching students about the benefits of energy-efficient practices and SoCalGas' customer assistance programs. By understanding how energy efficiency leads to savings, they gain practical insights into maintaining affordable living costs. Additional resources focus on advancements in energy technology with displays, like smart thermostats and energy-efficient appliances, designed to inspire interest in STEM careers. "We're honored to continue our partnership with SoCalGas and thrilled to unveil their updated storefront at JA Finance Park," said Dr. Les McCabe, President & CEO of JASoCal. "The storefronts are crucial to the immersive experience for students who are learning essential financial skills, like bill paying, but just as importantly, having a modern storefront that addresses the future of renewable energy and reflects energy-saving innovations in a home, will empower thousands of students each year to make responsible financial and environmental choices." The storefront was remodeled to mirror the design of SoCalGas' [H2]IE, a clean hydrogen microgrid demonstration project that draws power from solar panels during the day and converts excess renewable energy into clean hydrogen to power the home at night. The [H2]IE could power up to 100 homes and highlights how microgrid technology can produce power locally and help create more sustainable communities. The project has been named a World-Changing Idea by Fast Company and was also awarded the U.S. Green Building Council of L.A.'s Sustainable Innovation Award. As part of SoCalGas' ASPIRE 2045 sustainability goals, the utility aims to invest $50 million across five years to help drive positive change in diverse and underserved communities. By providing resources for higher education and career development, SoCalGas aspires to empower the communities it serves and help prepare young leaders for success. In line with these efforts, SoCalGas has awarded more than $3.5 million in scholarships to students through its scholarship programs since 2001.
