Sempra Energy And Sempra Energy Foundation To Support Winter Storm Relief In Texas

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) today announced that the Sempra Energy Foundation is pledging $1 million to assist communities in Texas recovering from the unprecedented winter storm that blanketed the state. This builds on a $250,000 donation by Sempra Energy for food relief in Houston and Southeast Texas and will bolster a $1 million donation by Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (Oncor), of which Sempra Energy is a majority owner, to community organizations within its service territory. "As Texans across the state continue to navigate the effects of the recent winter storm, we are in close contact with community leaders to address some of their most immediate and critical needs," said Lisa Alexander, senior vice president of corporate affairs for Sempra Energy and board chair of the Sempra Energy Foundation. "At Sempra Energy and the Sempra Energy Foundation, we are committed to the communities where we operate and are proud to support organizations that are working diligently to provide relief to our community members." Together, the funds will help speed the distribution of much-needed resources, such as food, water and repairs for those who have been greatly affected by the severe weather and its ensuing impacts. Sempra Energy has already funded a combined $250,000 to the Greater Houston Food Bank, Greater Port Arthur Food Bank and Southeast Texas Food Bank, while the Sempra Energy Foundation is engaging with community partners in Texas to help identify additional areas of need for funds distribution. "Beyond Oncor's previously announced commitment of $1 million to help those affected by the recent severe winter storms, this additional support from the Sempra Energy Foundation will further enable communities within our service area to lean on local organizations for assistance as they look to recover in the aftermath of this devastating winter freeze," said Debbie Dennis, chief customer officer and senior vice president for Oncor. "Oncor has a long-standing commitment of working to help our communities thrive in the face of many challenges and this moment is especially significant given all that our region has faced in the last year. We appreciate the Sempra Energy Foundation stepping forward with even more support." Since 2018, Sempra Energy and the Sempra Energy Foundation have committed nearly $4 million to nonprofit organizations providing services throughout Texas.

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) today announced full-year 2020 earnings of $3.76 billion, or $12.88 per diluted share, compared to full-year 2019 earnings of $2.06 billion, or $7.29 per diluted share. On an adjusted basis, the company's full-year 2020 earnings were $2.35 billion, or $8.03 per diluted share, compared to $1.91 billion, or $6.78 per diluted share, in 2019. In the fourth quarter of 2020, Sempra Energy reported earnings of $414 million, or $1.43 per diluted share, compared to $447 million, or $1.55 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2019. On an adjusted basis, fourth quarter 2020 earnings were $553 million, or $1.90 per diluted share. There were no adjustments made to fourth quarter 2019 earnings. "Our strong financial results in 2020 reflect the continued growth in our business and are a credit to our talented workforce and investments in a high-performing culture," said Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and CEO of Sempra Energy. "As the owner of one of the largest energy networks in North America, we have set a goal of being a leader in transitioning to a lower-carbon future by enabling the delivery of cleaner energy solutions in every market we serve. We envision critical new investments in energy infrastructure playing a vital role in reaching a net-zero energy future, promoting growth across all sectors of the economy and supporting a thriving energy industry." The reported financial results reflect certain significant items as described on an after-tax basis in the following table of GAAP earnings, reconciled to adjusted earnings, for the fourth quarter and full-year 2020 and 2019.

Declaring Dividends and Raising Annualized Common Stock Dividend This week, Sempra Energy's board of directors declared a $1.10 per share quarterly dividend on the company's common stock, which is payable April 15, 2021 to common stock shareholders of record as of March 25, 2021. The declared quarterly dividend represents an increase of the company's common stock dividend to $4.40 per share, on an annualized basis, from $4.18 per share in 2020. Over the past decade, we have increased our dividend at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 9% and today's announcement demonstrates the company's continued commitment to generating value for shareholders, while also reinvesting in the future growth of the business. Sempra Energy's board of directors also declared a quarterly dividend of $1.6875 per share on the company's 6.75% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B. Additionally, the board of directors declared a semi-annual dividend of $24.375 per share on Sempra Energy's 4.875% Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C. The preferred stock dividends will be payable April 15, 2021 to preferred stock shareholders of record as of April 1, 2021. Continuing Strong Growth at U.S. Utilities In combination, San Diego Gas & Electric Co. (SDG&E), Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (Oncor) own and operate some of the largest energy networks in the United States and are expected to play a critical role in delivering lower-carbon energy to the communities they serve, while continuing to invest in safety advancements and clean technologies to help maintain resiliency and reliability. Our U.S. Utilities platform has continued to deliver stable cash flows, improved earnings visibility, and strong organic growth. In 2020, Sempra Energy deployed record capital of approximately $7 billion which was primarily centered on safety and reliability investments at SDG&E, SoCalGas and Oncor. In 2021 to 2025, Sempra Energy's $32 billion capital plan is anchored by continued investments in the company's U.S. Utilities platform with a focus on safety, reliability and decarbonizing the energy system. Compared to Sempra Energy's prior capital plan, the company has increased U.S. Utilities capital in 2021-2022 by approximately $1.1 billion. In Texas, Oncor has restored power and repaired damages following the unprecedented winter storm that impacted many residents in the state last week. While the severe weather has highlighted the importance of critical energy infrastructure, it also demonstrates the vital role Oncor continues to play in meeting the growing needs of Texas' economy through the execution of its 2021-2025 capital plan. In 2020, Oncor connected approximately 77,000 new premises, exceeding its connections in 2019 by about 20%, which is the highest organic growth in Oncor's history. Oncor also set a company record for new generation interconnection requests it received in 2020, driven by strong development activity in utility-scale generation, with a focus on the renewable and battery storage markets. Additionally, Oncor completed six major transmission projects in West Texas totaling approximately 260 circuit miles and approximately $300 million of investment. Advancing Sempra Infrastructure Partners Transactions Sempra Energy continues to make progress on a series of integrated transactions announced in December 2020, intended to simplify its energy infrastructure investments under a common platform – Sempra Infrastructure Partners. The company plans to complete the stock-for-stock exchange offer for the publicly traded shares of Infraestructura Energética Nova, S.A.B. de C.V. (IEnova) and close the sale of a non-controlling interest in Sempra Infrastructure Partners in the second quarter of 2021. The exchange offer and sale of a non-controlling interest are advancing independently and are not contingent upon the timing of the other transaction. "With increased scale and a strong growth pipeline, Sempra Infrastructure Partners will be well-positioned to help lead the global energy transition," said Martin. "Moreover, we expect the transaction to support an investment grade balance sheet to support the company's future growth." By simplifying the ownership structure of Sempra LNG and IEnova under Sempra Infrastructure Partners, the company is expected to create additional value for Sempra Energy investors. Progressing LNG Infrastructure Investments In November 2020, ECA Liquefaction (ECA LNG), a joint venture between Sempra LNG and IEnova, reached a final investment decision (FID) for the development, construction and operation of the ECA LNG Phase 1 natural gas liquefaction-export project in Baja California, Mexico. ECA LNG Phase 1 is the only liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project in the world to reach FID in 2020. Estimated capital expenditures for ECA LNG Phase 1 are approximately $2 billion. Sempra expects to fund the project with a combination of equity contributions and debt. First LNG production from ECA LNG Phase 1 is expected in late 2024. Additionally, an affiliate of Total SE has secured a 16.6% equity stake in ECA LNG Phase 1, while Sempra LNG and IEnova have each retained 41.7% ownership. Building Sustainable Value Sempra Energy's strong results are underpinned by a commitment to environmental, social and governance matters. The company's recent recognition includes: Fortune Magazine's "World's Most Admired Companies" for 2021; Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, as the only North American utility sector company on the list; Dow Jones Sustainability North American Index; Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for 2021; Human Rights Campaign's "Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality;" Center for Political Accountability-Zicklin Index – Trendsetter in political disclosure practices and accountability for 2020; Chief Executive of the Year at S&P Global Platts' Global Energy Awards; Deal of the Year at S&P Global Platts' Global Energy Awards for the divestiture of the company's South American assets; and National Association of Corporate Directors' NXT Award for excellence in diversity and inclusion.

Sempra Engineers are Shaping the Future

Across the Sempra family of companies, our strategic focus on technology and innovation powers progress. This is due to the hard work of Sempra engineers whose creativity and work ethic positively impact the communities we serve and help us lead the global energy transition. This National Engineers Week, meet three engineers whose work with hydrogen, liquefied natural gas ( LNG) and community service projects connects communities and empowers the next generation of thoughtful innovators. May Kwan, SoCalGas Engineer on the renewable natural gas and hydrogen engineering strategy team at SoCalGas, May Kwan has played an integral role in building the framework for how hydrogen blending technology will be integrated into existing natural gas systems in California. “Hydrogen blending is one of the clean energy pathways to help California achieve its climate goals,” said Kwan. “Our team is currently working on one of the first residential hydrogen blending demonstration in the country and research projects that will fill knowledge gaps.” Because of the importance of wind and solar energy resources to a lower carbon energy system, SoCalGas is exploring alternative ways to store the energy. A technology known as power-to-gas (P2G) is being deployed throughout the world as a complementary storage solution to batteries. P2G works by taking the electricity generated from solar and wind, combining it with a small amount of water and running it through electrolysis. This process converts the electrical energy into chemical energy, splitting the water molecule into pure hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen can either be used as a fuel or it can be blended with natural gas and delivered to customers through the natural gas system. “I am proud to contribute towards SoCalGas’ mission to build the cleanest, safest, and most innovative energy company in America,” said Kwan. Involvement with one of the most innovative corners of the energy industry isn’t without its difficulties. However, finding solutions to difficult questions is what Kwan loves most about her role. “I enjoy performing data analysis and using the results to solve problems and make improvements,” said Kwan. “Using data to collaborate with others to drive improvements makes engineering a fulfilling career for me.” Rob Webber, Sempra Infrastructure Robert Webber is LNG engineering manager for Sempra Infrastructure, responsible for the Phase 1 Energía Costa Azul (ECA) LNG export project in Mexico. Prior to joining the ECA LNG project, Robert was the lead process engineer for the Cameron LNG export facility in Hackberry, Louisiana. “The project I am most proud of is the Cameron LNG project,” said Webber. “It was a very large and complex project and I was fortunate enough to be involved from the very first phase of design all the way through to start-up and performance testing. It was extremely satisfying to see many years of design and planning successfully come to fruition.” Cameron LNG began commercial operations in 2019 and was developed to meet the growing demand for energy around the world with three liquefaction trains to safely process and load LNG supplies onto ships. With many countries still reliant on polluting energy sources such as coal, LNG presents a lower-carbon alternative to aid in the overall global energy transition. With 12 years of professional experience dedicated to the LNG industry, Webber has served in various engineering roles in all phases of project development and construction of natural gas liquefaction plants—giving Webber the chance to make a widespread impact. “My favorite thing about engineering is the constant opportunity to learn new things and work with cutting edge technology to make a genuine impact in the world and on people’s lives. The projects I work on provide energy to thousands, if not millions, of people around the world, which gives me a genuine sense of purpose in what I do.” Jamie Padilla, SDG&E A second-generation Sempra employee, Jamie Padilla is an engineer on the technical analysis team with SDG&E. Her passion for her work not only makes a positive impact toward building SDG&E’s transmission infrastructure, but her positive attitude embodies Sempra’s value of shaping the future. “The word ‘engineering’ naturally gives off feelings associated with difficulty and intensity to the average person,” said Padilla. “Don’t get me wrong, I think engineering can be both those things, but at the end of the day, I believe engineering is just problem solving. My biggest goal in life is to make a positive impact on the world and in the lives of the people I meet, and being an engineer allows me to do that for a living.” Padilla is making a positive impact by mentoring and encouraging young women to pursue STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) careers. “I think it is my responsibility as a successful woman engineer to be a role model for my community. Over the past four-plus years of working at SDG&E, I have done countless outreach events to share my story and to encourage our youth, specifically females, to pursue STEM careers. I have sat on discussion panels and have given presentations to 7-year-olds, 21-year-olds and almost every age group in between. It’s been a very rewarding experience thus far and I am truly grateful to work for a company that is supportive of such an important initiative.” Padilla attests that her mother, Leslie, who worked for SDG&E for 14 years and Sempra Renewables for 20 years as an engineer, served as that positive role model for her — a legacy she is proud to continue. “My mother not only left a lasting impact on the company but, more importantly, on the lives of her co-workers. Sometimes I am nervous to fail, but I am mostly determined to work hard and bring the same passion to my job like she did day in and day out for 34 years.”

Op-Ed: A Guiding Light for the Energy Transition

By Jeffrey Martin, Chairman and CEO of Sempra Energy, and Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of Total A version of this opinion piece initially appeared on MarketWatch on February 25, 2021. No country was spared by the global pandemic which exposed startling shortcomings within our deeply interconnected world. Like the virus, carbon emissions do not come with a passport. They respect no walls or borders. So, it becomes essential to act with purpose and tackle global emissions through a new, clean energy transition while still solving energy poverty. That is why the U.S.'s decision to rejoin the Paris Agreement is a crucial one. Today, the lack of access to affordable, clean and reliable energy magnifies the human catastrophe and significantly slows global economic and environmental solutions. But we can recover by constructing a thoughtful path to a cleaner, lower-carbon economy that benefits from the evolution of our current energy mix. Our industry and world leaders, led by the European Union and now joined by the new Biden administration, must forge ahead with the urgency our planet demands. Global Solution But, first, we must acknowledge that a complex, global climate challenge requires a global solution. To accelerate this transition, we must advance a coordinated strategy with public and private sectors in every country, including those without energy access, to spur critical investment that expands renewable and liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure on a global scale. It is critical that we approach this transitional challenge with commitment, collaboration and a long-term view. Between now and 2040, areas where energy poverty is prevalent will generate nearly 90% of incremental global electricity demand. This calls for a new sustainable ecosystem that extends access to a 21st century energy system to every country. We know it works. For two decades, the U.S. led the world in successfully reducing energy-related emissions through the widespread adoption of renewable energy and shifting from coal to natural gas. Displacing coal and scaling up renewables are the most cost-effective “quick climate wins” for the developing world that allow those nations to reduce energy poverty and build more sustainable communities. For the adoption of renewables to become more widespread, massive efforts are needed to build and modernize grids as well as to develop more renewables supported with reliable energy storage and natural gas. Diverse Energy Mix Already, markets like California and Texas, where Sempra Energy is the largest owner of energy grids, successfully produce 40% of America’s renewable energy. This underscores our ability to maximize renewables, while also making needed investments in grid reliability with advanced battery storage and natural gas as low-carbon partners. It is not always an easy balance. Extreme weather can challenge resiliency in our energy systems, as we saw across the Midwest and Texas, highlighting the need for adequate baseload generation with weatherization upgrades to offset periods of lower renewable energy production. Diversification of energy portfolios is central to the effort. That is why traditional energy players are dedicating considerable efforts to decarbonization and the expansion of renewables. Total’s recent entry into the U.S. market for utility-scale solar and its investment in domestic solar shows how an oil and gas major can diversify its energy portfolio to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner. Renewables, storage and natural gas deployment can also unlock the potential of hydrogen. We are at the forefront of hydrogen production and infrastructure globally, including the largest renewable hydrogen production facility in France powered entirely by solar panels. Hydrogen Development Moreover, hydrogen will further the natural partnership between renewables and an increasingly decarbonized natural gas system. Even the U.N. Economic Commission for Europe has called natural gas infrastructure essential to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. As we look to transform energy systems worldwide, renewables and LNG infrastructure have the potential to be deployed to support hydrogen development and improved resiliency of low-carbon energy supplies. At this moment in time, we cannot afford to stand at this crossroads and hope for better results. Instead, we must proactively reduce barriers to energy access and coordinate global investment in innovation, renewables, energy storage and LNG infrastructure. President John F. Kennedy once said, "We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future." With bold action, powerful commitment and collective resolve, we can eradicate energy poverty and deliver a cleaner, sustainable energy ecosystem for all.

SoCalGas to Provide Over $1 Million to Fund Research & Development of Hydrogen to Fuel Commercial Transportation

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) announced today it will provide $1.3 million to fund the development of four hydrogen fuel technologies that could provide emissions-free transportation for railways and at ports in California and around the world. The funding will help bring to market innovative clean hydrogen technologies, including fuel-cell marine vessels, hydrogen refueling stations at ports, and fuel cell locomotives. "SoCalGas is thrilled to support these important hydrogen technology projects," said Neil Navin, vice president of clean energy innovations at SoCalGas. "Projects like these have the potential to create more zero-emissions transportation and reduce the cost of hydrogen fueling infrastructure, consistent with California's climate goals. SoCalGas remains committed to helping California reach these goals and our support of innovative clean fuel projects like these demonstrates that commitment." The four projects were selected for funding through the California Energy Commission's (CEC), Hydrogen Fuel Cell Demonstrations in Rail and Marine Applications at Ports (H2RAM) grant program. In addition to $1.3 million in funding from SoCalGas, the CEC will provide over $10.4 million to fund the research and development of these projects – bringing the total funding to approximately $11.7 million. Project partners include maritime fuel cell maker Golden Gate Zero Emission Marine Inc., research organization Gas Technology Institute (GTI), and non-profit CALSTART. "GTI is proud to partner with SoCalGas on this important project and greatly appreciates their support. This project will use hydrogen to provide zero-emission locomotive operations in a port and a designated disadvantaged community, which directly aligns with GTI's core goals," said Ted Barnes, GTI's research and development director. "As California looks toward advancing our strategies for emissions reductions, transportation applications that use hydrogen and fuel cells will play a key role," said California Assemblymember Kevin McCarty (D- Sacramento). "I am pleased to see SoCalGas, in partnership with the CEC, supporting the development of these innovative projects, especially in the 7th Assembly District. These efforts are timely with the Governor's executive order that requires all new cars and passenger trucks sold in California to be zero-emission vehicles by 2035. It's important that we all work together to propel California forward into the future of clean energy." In addition to this funding, SoCalGas is advancing numerous low- and zero-carbon energy technologies. Late last year, the company announced the creation of a Hydrogen Blending Demonstration Program to study blending hydrogen in its gas system, so it can ultimately recommend a hydrogen injection standard for regulatory approval. It also announced it will build a home to demonstrate, in a microgrid setting, the use of hydrogen produced from solar energy. Called the "H2 Hydrogen Home," the project will use solar panels to create electricity that can be used to produce green hydrogen via electrolysis. The hydrogen will be blended with natural gas for the home's appliances as well as converted back to electricity using a residential fuel cell. In addition, SoCalGas will field test a new technology that separates and compresses hydrogen from a blend of hydrogen and natural gas, allowing hydrogen to be delivered wherever a natural gas distribution system exists. Details on these efforts are available here. SoCalGas' mission is to build the cleanest, safest, and most innovative energy company in North America.

SoCalGas works to secure the best prices for the natural gas it supplies to customers. The cost customers pay for natural gas is what the utility pays. The utility also offers customer assistance programs that help people with bill discounts and provide free home improvements that help conserve energy and save money. "As the weather changes, so does our consumption of natural gas. In order to keep our homes warm, our heating systems are running more frequently resulting in an increased usage of natural gas. A few simple changes can help reduce energy bills," said Brian Prusnek, SoCalGas' director of customer programs and assistance. "This is also the time to make sure all customers who are eligible for bill assistance and no-cost energy savings programs are aware of these resources which can further reduce natural gas bills." Customers can take these steps to reduce their natural gas use and manage energy costs: Lowering your thermostat three to five degrees can save up to 10 percent on heating costs. Install proper caulking and weather-stripping; this can save roughly 10 to 15 percent on heating and cooling costs. Wash clothes in cold water to save up to 10 percent on water heating costs. Clean or replace your furnace filters according to manufacturer recommendations. Have your air ducts tested for leaks. Leaky ducts can increase heating costs by 10 to 30 percent. Turn down the temperature on your water heater. Take shorter showers to reduce your natural gas use. Fix leaky faucets and pipes. Hot water leaks cause increased demand on the water heater, which increases natural gas use. One drop of water per second can waste 500 gallons of hot water per year.

SoCalGas also encourages customers who are having trouble paying for their monthly natural gas bill to apply for one of their customer assistances programs. The utility's customer assistance programs include: California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program, offers eligible customers a 20 percent discount on their monthly natural gas bill. The discount is applied to the monthly natural gas bill following the date that the application is approved by SoCalGas. Energy Savings Assistance (ESA) provides eligible customers with home improvements, at no cost to the renter or homeowner, that help conserve energy, reduce natural gas use and enhance the safety, health, and comfort of the renter or homeowner. SoCalGas provides this service to approximately 100,000 customers each year. Over 1.5 million homes have received upgrades through the ESA program.

Kevin Sagara Q&A: Advancing Sustainability with the Salk Institute

Kevin Sagara was appointed as Sempra Energy’s group president in July 2020 after most recently serving as chairman and chief executive officer of SDG&E, where he is credited with helping to raise the company’s standing as a national leader in wildfire safety and clean energy. As group president, Sagara oversees Sempra Energy’s California utility infrastructure businesses, San Diego Gas & Electric and Southern California Gas, and serves as chairman for both companies. Sagara has played an integral role in Sempra Energy’s partnership with the Salk Institute of Biological Studies, a leading biological research laboratory located in San Diego, California. In order to combat climate change, Sempra Energy donated $2 million to support Salk’s "Sequestering Carbon Through Climate Adapted Sorghum" project, part of the Institute's Harnessing Plants Initiative (HPI). HPI is an innovative, scalable and bold approach to fight climate change by optimizing a plant's natural ability to capture and store carbon and adapt to diverse climate conditions. Learn more in this Q&A with Kevin Sagara: How did you become involved with Salk’s initiative? It’s been four years since I was introduced to the Salk Institute’s important carbon capture research. Dr. Joanne Chory and Dr. Wolfgang Busch came to Sempra and we talked about this opportunity. I was working with Sempra Renewables at the time, and what struck me was the idea of removing carbon emissions from the atmosphere. I think you’re going to see this area continue to grow as people continue to recognize that the climate is changing, and we need to do something about it fast. At Sempra, we are so pleased that we can play a part in Salk’s initiative, help do our part and be on the same team. What is carbon capture and sequestration? Carbon capture and sequestration is the way Salk Institute scientists are removing carbon from the atmosphere. Through harnessing the power of plants with genetically modified root structures, plants will absorb carbon from the atmosphere and store it underground within their root structures. Salk researchers aim to develop these ‘Salk Ideal Plants™’ to mitigate the disastrous effects of climate change while also providing more food, fuel and fiber for our growing population. With Sempra Energy's funding, over the next five years Salk scientists will work to develop a drought-tolerant, carbon-sequestering grass designed to grow on land in Southern California and store carbon in the soil for use with grain production, grazing or bio-energy feed stocks. What is the end goal of this initiative? Salk scientists are aiming for their Ideal Plants to be planted around the world, which can lead to a potentially enormous reduction in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Salk estimates that if, worldwide, 70% of the target crops are converted into carbon-sequestration-enhanced crop plants, 1.5 to 6 gigatons of CO2 can be sequestered per year, the equivalent of up to as much as one-third of human-caused CO2 emissions that accumulate in the atmosphere each year. These projections are incredibly exciting and Sempra is proud to support a project with this kind of potential for global impact. What other ways is Sempra innovating to combat climate change? Across our companies, Sempra supports a shift to lower carbon energy options and invests in infrastructure designed to deliver reliable, affordable and increasingly cleaner energy. In 2017, SDG&E opened one of the country’s largest lithium battery energy storage facilities in Escondido, California. This facility is helping store solar and wind-generated energy in batteries during off-peak hours, making it inexpensive to collect and easier to distribute throughout SDG&E’s service area. Together, SDG&E and SoCalGas have created a Hydrogen Blending Demonstration Program, the first of its kind in California. Blending hydrogen with natural gas is part of a multi-pronged strategy we’re pursuing in an effort to decarbonize the natural gas grid. Both utilities also invest in clean transportation technologies and infrastructure to reduce emissions from the transportation sector. We have to continue to push ourselves and find ways to produce and use energy in a less carbon intensive fashion while also looking for ways to take carbon out of the atmosphere. I liken this situation to a bathtub. If the bathtub is full, we can turn down the faucet, while also bailing water out of the tub at the same time. Thanks to innovative scientists at the Salk Institute, we can work to lower new carbon emissions while also removing the carbon that already exists in our atmosphere. Sempra Energy is committed to leading the energy transition. As we work to fulfill our vision of delivering energy with purpose, we look forward to partnering with leaders like the Salk Institute to identify and support innovative solutions to climate change.

SoCalGas Data Analytics Team Named Most Innovative in the U.S.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) announced today that its data analytics work has been recognized as the most innovative among over 150 utilities across the U.S. and the world by the Utility Analytics Institute (UAI). The UAI praised SoCalGas' use of data analytics to increase safety, save money for its customers, improve customer service, help conserve energy, and cut greenhouse gas emissions. "We are honored to have been recognized for this award," said Gillian Wright, senior vice president and chief customer officer at SoCalGas. "The work our data analytics team does is innovative, progressive, forward-thinking and leads to solving the company's most complex business challenges. All of this is in support of SoCalGas' mission to become the cleanest, safest and most innovative energy company in America." "SoCalGas has made impressive contributions to data analytics within the utility industry," said Gina Weber, managing director at UAI. "Each winner of the UAI Excellence Awards was selected from a pool of talented individuals, teams and organizations and we congratulation them on this well-deserved recognition." Increased energy conservation is among the many benefits of SoCalGas' data analytics work. For example, the utility's data analytics team developed a way to identify customers who were less likely to conserve energy during a winter cold snap, allowing the company to target those households with reminders of the tools and information available to help them manage their natural gas use. This initiative is now saving these targeted customers over 300,000 therms of energy every year, reducing the bills of as many as 100,000 customers and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. These reductions are among the more than 36.5 million therms SoCalGas helped natural gas users conserve through energy efficiency last year—saving customers more than $64 million and reducing carbon emissions linked to climate change by nearly 193,000 metric tons, the equivalent of taking 42,000 cars off the road for a year. SoCalGas is also using data analytics to increase the safety of its employees and customers, and the new safety challenges created by the Covid-19 pandemic provide one example: Since the pandemic began, data analytics have allowed pinpoint accuracy in predicting the number and location of customer service orders, allowing for highly effective inventory management of Personal Protective Equipment as well as appropriate staffing at the 75 facilities across SoCalGas' 24,000 square mile service territory. The data analytics team is also working to keep employees safe by providing customer service technicians with data to help them avoid hazards. Each technician will soon be provided with notice of hazardous driving routes prone to accidents, Covid-19 case rates in various geographic areas, and reminders of special safety precautions and gear required for certain types of service calls. Preventing damage to gas pipelines is another way SoCalGas is using data analytics to increase safety. The company gathers construction permit data to gauge increased potential of gas line damage due to excavation. Areas where more construction permits are issued now receive additional reminders to have gas pipeline areas marked prior to any construction digging, along with other gas safety information. In another example, data analytics is allowing SoCalGas to drastically reduce vehicle trips to inspect gas meters, which both increases employee safety and reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with driving. In-depth analysis of data from the company's Advance Meter technology can now accurately identify faulty meters without physical inspections. Every year, almost 50,000 inspection trips are avoided, leading to about 370,000 fewer miles driven, and saving 180 metric tons in carbon dioxide emissions per year. The UAI is a global consortium of over 160 member utilities and provides support to the industry with the goal of advancing utility transformation through analytics and digital innovation. To win the award, SoCalGas' Performance Management and Operational Strategy (PMOS) team underwent panel interviews and provided case studies to demonstrate the many innovative ways they have tackled complex business processes and problems across SoCalGas. Recently, SoCalGas announced its mission to build the cleanest, safest, and most innovative energy company in North America.
