SoCalGas to Increase Incentives for Sustainable Rebuilding for Customers Who Lost Homes to Fire or Debris Flow in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties

LOS ANGELES, April 26, 2018 – Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced that, for customers who lost homes in the Thomas Fire or January 9th debris flow, the company will substantially increase financial incentives for those who wish to rebuild using sustainable designs and ultra-efficient appliances. The incentives will be offered through the California Advanced Homes Program (CAHP), which helps offset costs of creating environmentally-friendly energy-efficient homes and communities. “SoCalGas understands that those who need to rebuild their homes are faced with many challenges, and we hope this additional incentive encourages those who want to build to the highest energy-saving standards can do so more a bit more affordably,” said Lisa Alexander, SoCalGas vice president of customer solutions and communications. “The improved energy savings will allow customers to also save money through reduced energy bills.” F or Thomas Fire and January 9 th debris flow victims, SoCalGas will increase CAHP incentive dollars by 50 percent, and will work with planning officials from Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties as well as the Ventura County Regional Energy Alliance (VCREA) to identify those who are eligible. By rebuilding with more efficient appliances, homeowners stand to save on monthly energy costs. The more efficient appliances will also help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “Ventura County is working diligently to assist residents who lost their homes in the Thomas Fire, and we would welcome and support these efforts to make their new homes more sustainable and energy efficient,” said Chris Stephens, director of the Ventura County Resource Management Agency. “Improving sustainability through programs like CAHP will help people reduce their carbon footprint, which will in turn reduce the potential of extreme weather-related disasters,” said Rob Lewin, director of Santa Barbara County’s Office of Emergency Management. SoCalGas is a leader in developing technologies that reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions while keeping bills affordable for customers. Since 1990, the company’s energy efficiency and rebate programs have reduced emissions equal to taking almost 700,000 cars off the road. These advances have also helped save SoCalGas customers more than $670 million in utility bill costs. To further reduce greenhouse gas emissions, SoCalGas is working to increase the amount of renewable natural gas – sourced from agriculture and waste – it delivers to customers. A recently-released analysis found that California could achieve the same greenhouse gas reductions as electrifying homes and buildings—but at a much lower cost—by replacing just a fraction of the natural gas that is delivered through our pipelines with this renewable natural gas. Customers who want to rebuild using CAHP incentives work with their building contractor and a HERS (Home Energy Rating System) Rater to have their home features tested and rated using certain California Energy Commission standards.

SoCalGas, Anaheim Fire & Rescue Raise Giant Shovel at Angel Stadium of Anaheim to Remind Southern Californians to Call 811 Before Digging

LOS ANGELES, April 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- In recognition of National Safe Digging Month, Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and Anaheim Fire & Rescue officials today raised a 30-foot-tall shovel at Angel Stadium of Anaheim to promote safe digging practices that can help prevent serious injuries and service outages. Anaheim Mayor Pro Tem Dr. Jose Moreno and Angels Baseball Chairman Dennis Kuhl joined first responders at the event to help raise awareness about the importance of calling 811 prior to the start of any excavation project. When residents or contractors dial 811 before any project that involves digging, utility companies will mark the locations of underground lines to prevent them from being hit. Photos from today's event are available here. An underground utility line is accidentally damaged once every nine minutes nationwide. Those accidents can lead to significant safety hazards or result in costly repair bills for homeowners. Across SoCalGas' service territory, about 60 percent of pipeline damage due to digging is caused by homeowners, contractors, and excavators who did not call 811 before digging. "Last year, SoCalGas recorded close to 3,000 cases of damage to underground infrastructure caused by customers who did not call 811 prior to digging, but we know that number can be drastically reduced by practicing safe digging," said Rodger Schwecke, SoCalGas senior vice president of gas transmission, storage, and engineering. "Data shows that when customers call 811 before digging, the likelihood of hitting a utility line is decreased by 99 percent." "Raising the community's awareness of public safety issues, like practicing safe digging, is an important part of our job as first responders," said Deputy Chief Patrick Russell, Anaheim Fire & Rescue. "We want to remind residents that every digging project – no matter how large or small – warrants a call to 811. Striking an underground utility line can result in serious injury and disrupt vital services, like natural gas, water, or electric service, to an entire neighborhood or community." "National Safe Digging Month reminds all of us to call 811 before digging. Failure to do so can lead to hazardous consequences," said Anaheim's Mayor Pro Tem Dr. Jose Moreno. "Working together, we can help make the City of Anaheim an even safer place." Throughout the month of April, SoCalGas is partnering with Angels Baseball to remind fans to contact 811 before digging in the yard or on the job. In addition to the giant shovel, the partnership includes radio spots on Angels Radio AM830 and in-stadium marketing, featuring digital ads and video. SoCalGas encourages customers to take the following steps when planning any digging project this spring: Mark out your proposed work area in white (paint, chalk, flour, flags, etc.). Call 811 or submit an online location request to Underground Service Alert at least two working days prior to when you'll start digging. Wait to hear from us. We'll either come mark our natural gas lines, indicating pipe material and diameter, or let you know that the area is clear. Remember that SoCalGas' uses yellow paint to mark its lines. If you need to dig within 24 inches of a marked utility line, use only hand tools to carefully expose the exact locations of the line before using any power excavation equipment in the area. Report any pipe damage – no matter how big or how small – by calling us immediately at 1-800-427-2200. 811 is the national phone number, designated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), that connects professionals and homeowners who plan to dig with a local call center. The call center collects information about the planned dig site and communicates with the appropriate utility companies, which then send professional utility locating technicians to identify and mark the approximate location of lines. Once lines have been marked, the caller may dig safely around the marks.

SoCalGas and Opus 12 Successfully Demonstrate Technology That Simplifies Conversion of Carbon Dioxide into Storable Renewable Energy

LOS ANGELES, April 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and Opus 12 today announced the successful demonstration of a new process to convert the carbon dioxide in raw biogas to methane in a single electrochemical step, a critical improvement in the science of upgrading biogas to pipeline quality natural gas, and a simpler method of converting excess renewable electricity into storable natural gas. Opus 12, a clean-energy startup incubated in the prestigious Cyclotron Road program at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, used a new type of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer to convert carbon dioxide to methane, showing that instead of wasting the carbon dioxide in raw biogas, it can be converted to methane using renewable electricity. The research is part of SoCalGas' development of technologies known as power-to-gas (P2G), a cutting-edge method of storing excess renewable energy. Because gases can be easily stored for long periods of time using existing infrastructure, power-to-gas technology has two distinct advantages over storing renewable electricity in batteries. The nine-month study was funded by SoCalGas along with two start-up-funding organizations, the Rocket Fund of Caltech's FLOW program and Elemental Excelerator. "This groundbreaking innovation holds the potential to simplify storing renewable electricity in the form of zero-carbon renewable natural gas that can be used for home heating, water heaters, or clean trucks to transport goods," said Yuri Freedman, SoCalGas senior director of business development. "Across Southern California, people prefer natural gas four to one over electricity because it is more affordable and reliable. Technological advances like this are one more example of how we can protect the environment while protecting consumer choice." " Southern California has ideal conditions for this type of solution, with significant biogas resources and high penetration of renewable electricity," said Nicholas Flanders, Opus 12's chief executive officer. "SoCalGas has identified this regional advantage, and with their scale and expertise in P2G and biogas, the company has been the ideal partner for this project." Raw biogas is mostly methane, but also contains about 30 to 40 percent carbon dioxide, which is typically vented to atmosphere in a biogas production facility. While other power-to-gas systems convert water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity, Opus 12's method would likely be implemented adjacent to biogas production so it can make use of a greenhouse gas that would otherwise contribute to climate change. This feasibility study was the first phase of research that will also explore new catalysts, modifying the catalyst layer formulation, and other ways to enhance the system's methane conversion performance.

SoCalGas Breaks Ground on New Facility for its Bakersfield Base

LOS ANGELES, April 9, 2018— Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced the official groundbreaking on construction of its new regional base on McMurtrey Ave. near the connection of Highways 99 and 65 in Bakersfield. The new facility will include a 31,370 square-foot main building with conference space, plus a separate storage building, garage, photovoltaic solar energy system, and compressed natural gas (CNG) station for company and public use. Photos of the groundbreaking event are available via this link. “This new facility will allow us to bring together all of our Bakersfield base employees in one convenient location between Highway 99 and Highway 65 that will allow our field technicians to better serve our Kern County customers,” said Paul Goldstein, SoCalGas vice president of customer services. “In addition, now we will have a regional facility available for employee training.” “This building will include a photovoltaic solar energy system and is designed to be net-zero energy, meaning the total energy used by the building will be roughly equal to the amount of renewable energy created on the site,” said Gina Orozco-Mejia, SoCalGas vice president of gas distribution. “In addition, it will have a Customer Demonstration Center so we can display the many emerging gas technologies created with support from SoCalGas that deliver meaningful greenhouse gas emissions reductions.” “We’re very pleased to have SoCalGas service technicians in this new location to serve the more than 100,000 Kern County homes and businesses that rely on affordable natural gas,” said Bakersfield Mayor Karen Goh. “I’m thrilled that this facility will offer a natural gas fueling station for trucks traveling Highways 99 and 65,” said Kern County Supervisor David Couch (District 4). “The transportation sector is responsible for about 40 percent of California's greenhouse gas emissions and more than 80 percent of the state's smog-forming emissions, so it’s crucial to have resources like this for clean natural gas and renewable natural gas heavy duty trucks that can improve air quality and the health of people in Kern County.” SoCalGas employees housed at the new facility will serve more than 100,000 homes and businesses across a region of more than 7,500 square miles, and maintain more than 1,700 miles of natural gas pipeline. Construction is scheduled to be complete in early-to-mid-2019. SoCalGas has long been a leader in developing appliances and programs that deliver meaningful greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Since 1990, the company’s energy efficiency programs have reduced emissions equal to taking 700,000 cars off the road, and have enabled the gas sector to already meet 2020 greenhouse gas reductions required under existing climate change regulations. In Central and Southern California, natural gas is the most affordable and reliable option for home and water heating and for cooking. More than 90 percent of residents use natural gas to heat their home and hot water. According to the American Gas Association (AGA), households that use natural gas for water and space heating, cooking and clothes drying save an average of $874 per year compared to homes using electricity for those applications. # # # About SoCalGas Headquartered in Los Angeles, SoCalGas® is the largest natural gas distribution utility in the United States, providing clean, safe, affordable and reliable natural gas service to 21.7 million customers in Central and Southern California. Its service territory spans 22,000 square miles from Fresno to the Mexican border, reaching more than 550 communities through 5.9 million meters and 101,000 miles of pipeline.

SoCalGas Helps Fleet Owners Put New Near-Zero Emissions Natural Gas Trucks on the Road

LOS ANGELES, March 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced efforts to help California fleets get more drivers behind the wheel of new near-zero emissions heavy-duty natural gas trucks. The effort was part of a $21 million Prop 1B incentive pool administered by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD). SoCalGas representatives provided assistance on 400 Prop 1B applications throughout its service territory. If all these applications are accepted and receive funding, SoCalGas customers will replace at least 400 diesel trucks with near-zero natural gas trucks. Replacing 400 diesel trucks with near-zero natural gas trucks is the equivalent of taking more than 22,000 passenger cars off the road. The Prop 1B Program is intended to reduce diesel air pollution from goods movement operations and achieve the earliest possible health risk reduction in nearby communities. Fleet owners seeking to replace diesel trucks may be eligible for up to $100,000 towards the purchase of a new natural gas truck. "SCAQMD is appreciative of SoCalGas' efforts to help reduce harmful diesel emissions to help clean the air in the Southland," said SCAQMD Executive Officer Wayne Nastri. "Through technology advancement programs, industry, partnerships, and incentive programs, we will continue to make substantial progress to reduce air pollution." "Our Clean Transportation team has spent years cultivating relationships with fleet owners and truck drivers," said Lisa Alexander, vice president of customer solutions and communications at SoCalGas. "We are pleased to do our part to help bring more near-zero, heavy-duty trucks to California's transportation sector. These natural gas trucks are available today and will immediately contribute to achieving the South Coast Air Basin's air quality goals, giving our communities a healthier environment to live in." For the SCAQMD solicitation, SoCalGas customers submitted more than 150 applications, with many of these requests coming from fleets smaller than 10 trucks. These dependable, clean trucks cut smog-forming emissions by more than 90 percent compared to the cleanest heavy-duty diesel trucks on the road today. When these near-zero natural gas trucks are fueled by renewable natural gas, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are reduced by 80 percent. Already, 60 percent of natural gas fleets in California are fueled with renewable natural gas and this number is expected to climb to about 90 percent by the end of this year. The SCAQMD solicitation is one of many incentive programs SoCalGas customers used in 2017. More than 225 applications were submitted to the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District and San Diego Air Pollution Control District from SoCalGas customers. This demand far exceeded the $14 million in available incentive funding. The transportation sector is responsible for about 40 percent of California's GHG emissions and more than 80 percent of the state's NOx, or smog-forming, emissions. Making the switch from diesel to near-zero natural gas trucks is vital to achieving the state's GHG reduction goals and cleaning the air around California's transportation corridors. While the current Prop 1B pool solicitation is now closed, there is another incentive pool available through the SCAQMD. The Carl Moyer incentive program is open to fleets that operate in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties from now until June 5. Additionally, the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District recently established a new grant incentive option for its Truck Voucher Program that would replace existing heavy-duty trucks with the cleanest, ultra-low NOx 12-Liter truck available.

More than 42 percent of the utility’s contract spending went to minority-owned companies, surpassing the CPUC’s goal of 21.5 percent. “As we’ve grown our purchases with more diverse suppliers over the years, we’ve seen how their innovative thinking has enhanced our ability to do business and meet our customer needs,” said Patti Wagner, SoCalGas chief executive officer. “We’ve also seen the ripple effect of our supplier diversity activities on the 638 diverse firms working with us and local communities, including job creation and other economic gains.” “SoCalGas didn’t just give me their business, they’ve opened doors to other clients for me as well,” said Bianca Vobecky, founder of Vobecky Enterprises, a construction and logistics company based in Glendora, Calif. “They gave us an opportunity to showcase our firm at Supplier Diversity Business Showcases--people I wouldn’t otherwise have access to.” Vobecky Enterprises is a Haitian-American woman-owned company that has been awarded several contracts to transport truckloads of pipe, gaskets and other construction materials to SoCalGas facilities. Vobecky also won a contract to install steel bollards to protect natural gas meters from vehicles. Overall, SoCalGas spent more than $640 million dollars with 638 diverse suppliers last year. The spending included new major contracts with diverse suppliers for engineering services; pipes, valves and fittings; and various maintenance products. In addition, 12 of the company’s 25 largest vendors are diverse suppliers. SoCalGas also offers these large and small businesses innovative training programs, including supplier development and technical assistance, contractor safety workshops, seminars and other events.

To meet the SCAQMD’s clean air goals, several leading manufacturers have introduced residential furnaces that significantly reduce emissions; many are already on store shelves. The Ultra-Low NOx furnace was developed by Rheem and will be tested by SoCalGas engineers and HVAC contractors at the utility’s state-of-the-art laboratory and in field trials in up to 15 homes in Southern California. Engineers spent five years developing the technology to reduce NOx emissions by 65 percent. The demonstration project will test the furnace under normal operating conditions and provide Rheem with real-world performance data prior to large scale production. “We are committed to working with manufacturers and retailers to develop and deliver products that meet our customers’ needs and individual tastes while keeping customer bills low,” said Yuri Freedman, senior director for business development at SoCalGas. “Across Southern California, people prefer natural gas four to one over electricity because it is more affordable and reliable. Technological advances like this new residential furnace show that we can make meaningful environmental gains while protecting consumer choice.” “SoCalGas’ participation in testing new technologies like the Rheem Ultra-Low NOx gas furnace demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to looking for ways to reduce emissions,” said Alex Vargas, Mayor of the City of Hawthorne. “Products like these show that Californians can meet the state’s clean air standards with a furnace that heats homes at a manageable cost.” “Our Ultra-Low NOx furnace got the thumbs up to be compliant with Rule 1111, but we also think it’s important to get first-hand validation from a gas utility company in California, where the mandate will be required,” said Ryan Teschner, product manager, furnaces, Rheem. “SoCalGas has a gas engineering team to give our Ultra-Low NOx furnace a thorough inspection in their state-of-the-art lab.” In Southern California, natural gas is the most affordable and reliable option for home and water heating and for cooking. More than 90 percent of residents use natural gas to heat their home and hot water. According to the American Gas Association (AGA), households that use natural gas for water and space heating, cooking and clothes drying save an average of $874 per year compared to homes using electricity for those applications. Moreover, thanks to energy efficiency measures and new technology, residential water and space heating account for only about 4 percent of greenhouse gas emissions statewide, according to the California Air Resources Board. SoCalGas is a leader in developing and investing in technologies that reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions while keeping bills affordable for customers. Since 1990, the company’s energy efficiency and rebate programs have reduced emissions equal to taking almost 700,000 cars off the road, and according to the AGA, SoCalGas has the second lowest average bills in the nation among gas utilities.
