Sempra Commemorates 25 Years of Innovation, Safety and Service to Others

Company leaders launch 25 th anniversary celebrations ringing NYSE opening bell SAN DIEGO, June 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Sempra (NYSE: SRE) (BMV: SRE) today begins its 25 th year of business, marking a quarter century of continued performance and progress toward its mission to be North America's premier energy infrastructure company. "Over the past 25 years, we have been connecting people to safer, more reliable and cleaner energy sources, empowering communities and providing value to shareholders, while also driving growth in some of North America's largest economic markets," said Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and chief executive officer of Sempra. "I am honored to celebrate this significant milestone in partnership with the thousands of talented employees across Sempra's family of companies who share a common mission and commitment to a high-performance culture." To commemorate Sempra's 25 th anniversary, company leadership participated in the ringing of the New York Stock Exchange opening bell in New York this week, initiating company-wide celebrations from coast to coast. Sempra was formed on June 29, 1998, from a merger between two century-old utilities: Pacific Enterprises and Enova Corporation, the parent companies of Southern California Gas Co. and San Diego Gas & Electric Co., respectively. Since then, Sempra has grown into one of the leading North American energy infrastructure companies with service to nearly 40 million consumers in California, Texas and Mexico. The company has developed a portfolio of businesses over the last two and a half decades comprised of top-tier utilities and long-term contracted energy infrastructure assets. Sempra's disciplined capital allocation approach and sustained performance has delivered long-term value for its shareholders, resulting in a total shareholder return of roughly 1,200% from 1998 through 2022. During that same period, the company's market capitalization increased 810% from $6 billion in 1998 to nearly $50 billion at the end of 2022. Today, Sempra's three growth platforms — Sempra California, Sempra Texas and Sempra Infrastructure — are building modern infrastructure to deliver electricity and cleaner fuels to some of North America's leading economies and globally. Together, these growth platforms serve a common purpose of helping to meet the world's expanding decarbonization and energy security goals. The company is currently executing a record $40 billion capital plan for 2023-2027 to connect customers to cleaner energy, strengthen community resilience against extreme weather events and increase safety and reliability. The referenced capital plan only includes Sempra's proportionate ownership share of capital expenditures. Across the Sempra family of companies, 20,000 employees are bound by a common set of values — do the right thing, champion people and shape the future — and a shared vision to deliver energy with purpose. These values underpin Sempra's commitment to empowering communities and supporting social progress. Over the course of its 25-year history, Sempra's family of companies and the Sempra Foundation have contributed more than $440 million to charitable causes and continue to find innovative ways to support the communities they serve. About Sempra Sempra is a leading North American energy infrastructure company that helps meet the daily energy needs of nearly 40 million consumers. As the owner of one of the largest energy networks on the continent, Sempra is helping to electrify and decarbonize some of the world's most significant economic markets, including California, Texas, Mexico and the LNG export market. The company is also consistently recognized as a leader in sustainable business practices and for its long-standing commitment to building a high-performance culture focused on safety and operational excellence, leadership and workforce development and diversity and inclusion.

SoCalGas' $4 Million Initiative Fueling Our Communities will provide food for families and seniors in need; Largest Donation to the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles will provide 20,000 meals LOS ANGELES, June 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of SoCalGas' 2023 Fueling Our Communities initiative, the company announced a $325,000 donation to the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles. This donation to the YMCA-LA's program, FEED LA, will serve approximately 20,000 low-income residents throughout Los Angeles County with "Grab and Go" meals and fresh produce. The grant to the YMCA-LA is the largest of several other anticipated donations to local charities, funding local nonprofits' programs to provide meals and groceries for low-income individuals this year. SoCalGas is expanding the impact of the 2023 Fueling Our Communities initiative by allocating $4 million, the largest commitment to date, to new and existing partnerships with food banks and nonprofits throughout SoCalGas' 12-county service area. "In the face of food insecurity, our district's strength lies in the unwavering commitment of organizations like the YMCA, dedicated to fostering equitable access to nutritional meals for those in need," said Congressman Jimmy Gomez (CA-34). "Through the generous support of community partners, the YMCA will extend its reach, providing even more nutritious food to families and individuals across the district. Meanwhile, I will continue working in Congress to expand food nutrition programs and ensure healthy meals are accessible and affordable for everyone." "Food insecurity is a serious crisis that affects a significant number of residents in LA County," said Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, representing the First District. "I am grateful for community partners such as the YMCA, which strives to ensure that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has equitable access to nourishing meals. I extend my sincere gratitude to SoCalGas for their generous contribution, as it will empower the YMCA to expand the number of meals it provides to individuals and families in need across the County." The YMCA Of Metropolitan Los Angeles' FEED LA program provides fresh food and nutritious meals in underserved areas and is aimed toward ending food insecurity in Los Angeles County.

By partnering with SoCalGas, the YMCA-LA is able to expand the program to San Fernando Valley communities in need, fund home deliveries for seniors, and increase the frequency of the Feed LA program at some locations, while continuing to serve families at Y branches throughout Los Angeles County. Both the YMCA-LA and SoCalGas are committed to bridging the gap in food access for underserved communities by providing nutritious meals and groceries to thousands of families. " Fueling Our Communities is one way we demonstrate SoCalGas' commitment to investing in our service area communities. Partnering with the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles was an easy choice because of their reach and relationships with the communities they serve," said SoCalGas Chief Operating Officer Jimmie Cho. "Food insecurity is a critical issue across the state, with many local food banks reporting that they are serving double the amount of people compared with 2019. This initiative began during the COVID-19 pandemic and partnerships like this one with the LA Y have helped provide tens of thousands of families with fresh produce and food."The Fueling Our Communities initiative began in 2020 as a collaborative effort between SoCalGas and five regional nonprofits in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. During its first summer, the program successfully provided more than 140,000 meals to 40,000 individuals from underserved communities across Southern California.SoCalGas is expanding the impact of the 2023 Fueling Our Communities initiative by allocating $4 million, the largest commitment to date, to new and existing partnerships with food banks and nonprofits throughout SoCalGas' 12-county service area.

SoCalGas Machine Learning Project Achieves $150,000 Annual Savings, Nearly 1,000 Metric Tons of Annual CO2 Reductions For Industrial Customer

METRON machine learning technology helped digitize and optimize operations and identify opportunities for increased efficiency and reduced greenhouse gas emissions LOS ANGELES, June 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) is announcing the results of a machine learning project that helped an industrial customer achieve $150,000 in annual, recurring energy savings and nearly 1,000 metric tons of annual CO2 reductions, all through an initial setup cost of just $100,000. Thanks to this technology, The Gill Corporation has cut its yearly utility bill by 6 percent, while also reducing CO2 – equivalent to avoiding 112,524 gallons of gasoline consumed annually. The project, a collaboration with the METRON company, set out to find ways to use machine learning and digitization to help optimize industrial processes for cost and energy savings, along with reducing their emissions. In 2020, SoCalGas and METRON selected The Gill Corporation, a leading manufacturer of high-performance composite materials and products for the aerospace, transportation, and other industries, for deployment of this technology. "Energy efficiency continues to be one of the most cost-effective ways we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote energy reliability now as we continue to develop additional tools to achieve our company's and California's efforts to achieve net zero," said Neil Navin, SoCalGas Chief Clean Fuels Officer. "We're thrilled at the cost savings and CO2 reductions achieved from the METRON project and are eager to find more opportunities for SoCalGas customers to explore this technology." "We are pleased to have been able to quantify these figures and reduce our organization's carbon footprint and energy costs. It is only the beginning," said Israel Palomino, Senior Mechanical Engineer at The Gill Corporation. "We are proud of the results delivered for The Gill Corporation with SoCalGas. We are looking forward to rolling out the METRON platform at a wider scale in California to support other SoCalGas industrial customers with energy consumption and carbon reduction through energy efficiency," said Vincent Sciandra, CEO of METRON. The technology behind METRON used machine learning to determine where in the industrial processes resources were needed or where data was lacking and additional sensors would be required to fill information gaps. The project allowed a fully centralized digitization of The Gill Corporation's operations and identified significant ways to reduce both energy use and carbon emissions. The METRON project is among dozens of research, development and demonstration projects that SoCalGas is funding to help achieve its aim to have net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. In 2022 alone, SoCalGas' Research Development & Demonstration (RD&D) program invested more than $13 million in hundreds of energy technology and clean fuels projects—from technology that converts carbon dioxide from industrial sources into consumer products to fuel-flexible power generators or innovative hydrogen fuel cell yard trucks for demanding port operations. The program, along with its partners, will be supporting approximately $400 million in decarbonization research through 2025.

A key component of its sustainability efforts is Angeles Link, a proposed green hydrogen pipeline system that could deliver clean, reliable, renewable energy to the Los Angeles region. In December, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved SoCalGas' request to track costs for advancing the first phase of the project, which could be the nation's largest green hydrogen pipeline system and support significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions from electric generation, industrial processes, heavy-duty trucks, and other hard-to-electrify sectors of the Southern California economy. Angeles Link, the [H2] Innovation Experience hydrogen microgrid and more than a dozen hydrogen demonstration projects SoCalGas is currently pioneering, are all part of its ongoing efforts to help accelerate California's energy transition. SoCalGas' efforts were also recognized in October, when the company was awarded the top "Business Transformation Award" at Reuters Events' 2022 Responsible Business Awards for having established truly transformative sustainability priorities with the potential to create impact at scale in the energy sector and beyond.

Grants of Up to $500 Still Available to Help Customers Pay Gas Bill

Gas Assistance Fund has distributed over $2 million dollars, helping over 10,000 families. Approximately $3 million dollars remain to support eligible residential customers pay for their natural gas. LOS ANGELES, May 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today SoCalGas announced that approximately $3 million dollars of the committed $6 million is still available in the company's Gas Assistance Fund to support eligible customers in paying their natural gas bill. This year, over 10,000 SoCalGas customers have already benefitted from the Gas Assistance Fund, which helps income-qualified customers pay their natural gas bill with a one-time grant of up to $500. The company's contribution to the Gas Assistance Fund in the 2022-2023 grant cycle was the largest in the fund's 40-year history. The Gas Assistance Fund is a joint effort between SoCalGas and United Way of Greater Los Angeles. Working with non-profit organizations throughout SoCalGas's service territory, United Way of Greater Los Angeles helps income-qualified customers pay their natural gas bill with a one-time grant of up to $400 per household, up from $100 last year. If the eligible applicant or a household member is age 55 or older, an additional $100 is available - for a maximum grant of up to $500. Since the fund's expansion, the average grant per household has been approximately $300. Full guidelines for qualification can be found at socalgas.com/GAF. "Through a record $6 million donation to SoCalGas's Gas Assistance Fund, over 10,000 families have applied and benefited from grants of up to $500 to help pay their gas bills. However, funds remain. To reach more customers who might need assistance with paying their bills, we expanded the eligibility requirements and encourage customers to visit our website to see if they now qualify," said Gillian Wright, Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Officer. "We also offer useful resources on energy conservation, assistance programs to manage energy consumption, and make energy-efficient home improvements to help lower customer bills." "Since 1983, the Gas Assistance Fund has helped over 240,000 Californians facing financial hardship afford basic necessities," said Elise Buik, President & CEO at United Way of Greater Los Angeles . "With SoCalGas's large contribution this year, United Way has dramatically expanded our reach to help thousands of individuals, older adults, and families across our region." "The expanded grants have been able to make a meaningful impact in the families we serve," said Amy Zhao, Program Manager at Chinatown Service Center, a non-profit organization that assists customers with participation in the program. "Gas Assistance Fund grants play a crucial role in sparing our community from the agonizing decision of prioritizing between feeding their families or covering essential utility expenses." "Thanks to the partnership between SoCalGas and United Way of Greater Los Angeles, families have an opportunity to receive funds that ensure access to an essential utility," said Senator Steven Bradford. " Six million dollars is a huge commitment to the community, and it's great to see these two organizations come together and make a difference in the lives of some of our most vulnerable neighbors." In addition to the Gas Assistance Fund, SoCalGas offers other programs that can help qualified customers save money on their monthly gas bills. The Medical Baseline Allowance provides qualified customers additional natural gas at the baseline rate and the California Alternative Rates for Energy (CARE) program can help eligible customers save 20% on their monthly gas bills. The free Ways to Save tool may also help customers find ways to save on natural gas bills, with a personalized savings plan that offers a household energy analysis, customized energy-efficiency recommendations, bill comparisons, and energy usage comparisons.

Sempra CEO details strategy for growth on CNBC

In an interview in Los Angeles with CNBC host Jim Cramer, Jeffrey Martin spoke about Sempra’s three growth platforms, record $40 billion capital plan, ESG leadership and commitment to the service of others. Sempra’s decision to simplify its business model to focus on developing energy infrastructure in some of the most attractive markets in North America is one reason the company is successful today, Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and chief executive officer of Sempra, told Jim Cramer on CNBC’s “Mad Money” this week. “By narrowing our business strategy and improving our capital discipline, it is paying dividends,” Martin said. “Over the last three years, we returned $5 billion to our owners in the form of share repurchases and dividends, while growing our adjusted earnings per share at roughly 10% annually.” Today, that same strategy supports a record $40 billion, five-year capital plan, which includes underlying rate base growth at the company’s utilities of 9% annually through 2027. “When you put that level of projected capital spending and growth together with the company’s current dividend yield of 3.2% — it creates what is potentially a very attractive growth and income opportunity for investors,” said Martin. With the recent release of Sempra’s 15th annual Corporate Sustainability Report, Cramer also asked Martin about the company’s success in advancing sustainable business practices. “What we’re trying to do is help America decarbonize the energy grid here at home and make sure, in foreign countries, as they adopt renewables and cleaner forms of energy, they can use complimentary fuels like natural gas to help them decarbonize more quickly,” said Martin. “ Hydrogen is also expected to become a feedstock for industry and heavy-duty transportation. In the future, we think it’s going to be an important fuel source for our country.” Closing the interview, Cramer asked Martin about his service in the U.S. Army. “A lot of people focus on the discipline, teamwork and higher levels of responsibility that come with military service, but the key takeaway for me was the opportunity to serve an ideal greater than myself — it was an honor to work alongside so many incredible men and women from diverse backgrounds and all walks of life who shared a common love of country and purpose,” said Martin, a West Point graduate. “That same common purpose can be seen at Sempra as 20,000 talented employees work together to support our mission to build the leading energy infrastructure company in North America. To do that we have made a strong commitment to be a leader in sustainability and to invest in innovation and new technologies to better serve our stakeholders.” This article contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

SoCalGas Highlights Several Milestones Advancing the Company's ASPIRE 2045 Sustainability Strategy in 2022 Corporate Sustainability Report

The report highlights the progress SoCalGas has made to accelerate the transition to clean energy, improve local air quality, increase clean energy access and affordability, and advance a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture while achieving world class safety. LOS ANGELES, May 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) today published its section of parent company Sempra's 2022 Corporate Sustainability Report detailing SoCalGas' dedication towards advancing the clean energy transition, environmental benefits, social equity, as well as the safety and well-being of its customers, employees, and the communities it serves. SoCalGas' ASPIRE 2045 sustainability strategy also closely aligns with Sempra's key sustainability pillars: enabling the energy transition, driving resilient operations, championing people, and achieving world-class safety. "Every Californian deserves a clean, affordable, safe, and resilient energy future and our ASPIRE 2045 sustainability strategy sets the path to achieve that future through innovation, collaboration and decarbonization," says Jawaad Malik, chief strategy, and sustainability officer at SoCalGas. "Over the last year, our progress continues to drive better business outcomes, create new opportunities for our skilled employees, and build stronger and more resilient communities across our service territory." Enabling the Energy Transition In support of enabling the energy transition, SoCalGas announced its proposal to develop Angeles Link, an energy transportation infrastructure system that could deliver reliable clean renewable hydrogen to the Los Angeles Basin for use in heavy-duty transportation, industrial processes, electric generation and other "hard-to-electrify" sectors of the Southern California economy. Additionally, SoCalGas unveiled the [H2] Innovation Experience that is constructed to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum standards and demonstrates how a renewable hydrogen microgrid can provide a resilient and reliable source of power. This technology could allow neighborhoods to operate independently from electric grids that may subject customers to power loss or interruptions in service on days when grid reliability is compromised by heatwaves, wildfires, rain, persistent cloud cover, and other types of severe weather or equipment failure. "As we work toward achieving California's ambitious clean energy goals, SoCalGas' forward-thinking solutions, at scale and in collaboration with state and federal partners, offer real promise on paving the way for the essential role clean energy sources like hydrogen will play in meeting future energy demand," says Senator Josh Newman (D-Fullerton). "As we make the necessary plans and investments in the infrastructure for a clean energy economy, innovative solutions like the ones under development at SoCalGas can breathe new life into existing infrastructure systems, helping our state decarbonize affordably while providing Californians the energy supply necessary to power one of the world's largest and most dynamic economies." In 2022, SoCalGas also became the first gas-only utility in the U.S. to issue green bonds in a public offering. Following Sempra's Sustainable Financing Framework, SoCalGas raised $600 million in bonds to support specified projects within its sustainability initiatives. The net proceeds from the fixed-rate green bonds will finance and/or refinance sustainability investments in pollution prevention and control, green buildings, and clean transportation. Driving Resilient Operations An effort that both enables the energy transition and drives resilient operations is SoCalGas' investments in leak detection technologies, which meaningfully advance methane emissions reductions. SoCalGas reduced methane emissions by 37% through 2021 – exceeding the state's goal of a 20% reduction by 2025 and nearing the state's goal of a 40% reduction by 2030. Additionally, as of the end of 2022, 36% of the company's over-the-road fleet are alternative fuel vehicles. The company has an interim goal to convert 50% of its fleet to zero emissions vehicles by 2025 and aims to reach 100% zero emissions vehicles by 2035. SoCalGas is also using renewable power from the grid at eligible facilities, underscoring its aim to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in its operations and delivery of energy by 2045. Championing People SoCalGas aims to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace and in the communities it serves. In 2022, SoCalGas purchased over $1 billion or nearly 43% of all goods and services, from minority, women, service-disabled veteran, and LGBT owned businesses, collaborating with 578 diverse businesses in total, with the majority of those firms based in California. "SoCalGas' investments are vital to the health and longevity of our local communities their guidance provides clarity to the everyday obstacles that underserved small businesses face," says Gene Hale , chairman for the Greater Los Angeles African Chamber of Commerce. "We are grateful for the resources, assistance, and pathway to long term economic success that SoCalGas provides which are essential for a sustainable future." SoCalGas also partners with organizations like the Utility Workers Union of America to train veterans and invests in community grant programs that provide underserved populations with technical trainings and customer service skills. As part of SoCalGas' Equity Action Plan, the company launched Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), which are voluntary, employee-led groups that fosters diversity and inclusion, professional development support, and a sense of community. Achieve World Class Safety SoCalGas describes its pipeline fiber optic technology pilot program, which demonstrates how monitoring the environment to detect changes in temperature, movement and sound can provide early detection, mitigation, and prevention of potential damage to pipeline infrastructure, while enhancing public safety, especially for the workers who operate and maintain it.
