SoCalGas Donates $10,000 to Non-Profit Hope through Housing Foundation; Partners with Local Restaurant to Feed Yucca Valley Seniors

LOS ANGELES, April 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced it has donated $10,000 to local non-profit, Hope Through Housing Foundation. The funds will be used to provide weekly meals to low-income seniors who reside in the Dumosa Senior Village affordable housing community in Yucca Valley, and to provide additional assistance to vulnerable residents during the COVID-19 crisis. SoCalGas and Hope Through Housing have partnered with local Yucca Valley restaurant John's Place to deliver individually packaged lunches once a week to each of the 85 seniors living at the property for the next month. In addition, Hope Through Housing will be providing regular well-being calls, individual resource assistance, and virtual financial counseling to residents in need. "SoCalGas is thrilled to be able to partner with the Hope Through Housing Foundation and John's Place and provide meals to seniors in need," said Trisha Muse, director of community relations at SoCalGas. "SoCalGas believes it is important to support the communities we serve, not just by providing affordable and reliable natural gas service but also through these small acts of kindness and lending a helping hand to our friends and neighbors." "During this challenging time, this grant will help us feed and provide individual assistance to vulnerable seniors, many of whom are homebound with limited support – with a double impact by supporting a local, family-owned business," said Gregory Bradbard, President of Hope Through Housing. "Right now, it is crucial for communities to come together and help one another where needed, said John Tsiolis, owner of John's Place. "We are grateful SoCalGas and Hope Through Housing Foundation reached out to us to provide these meals and not only gave business to a small restaurant like ours during these trying and unprecedented times, but also gave us the opportunity to make a big impact in our community." In 1998, the Hope through Housing Foundation was established to empower residents of National Community Renaissance (National CORE) properties, one of the largest nonprofit affordable housing developers in the country. Wanting to do more to help the children, families and seniors who lived in its communities, the Hope through Housing Foundation was created to deliver a broad range of charitable and educational programs for children, young adults, low-income and underprivileged families and seniors and the general public. Last year, SoCalGas donated more than $7.6 million to community organizations, local non-profits and other groups. SoCalGas employees contributed more than $750,000 dollars through payroll deductions and performed over 24,000 logged volunteer hours for various community groups throughout its service territory. Please see SoCalGas' 2019 Community Giving Summary for more information.

SoCalGas COVID-19 Response Last month, SoCalGas announced a $1 million donation to nonprofit organizations throughout its service area to support the region's workforce, feed the hungry, and provide bill assistance to customers most affected by the coronavirus. Together, the Sempra Energy family of companies – including SoCalGas' sister California utility San Diego Gas and Electric and the Sempra Energy Foundation – are stepping up with more than $7 million to those in need during this crisis. SoCalGas has also suspended service disconnections until further notice. This means no residential or small business customer will have their natural gas turned off due to non-payment. SoCalGas has also temporarily waived late fees for small business customers. Late fees are never charged for residential customers. Natural gas continues to flow and is being delivered to SoCalGas' 22 million customers across southern and central California, just as it does on a "typical" day. There is no shortage of supply of natural gas for homes or businesses or to power plants that generate electricity. Under the Governor's recent Executive Order, members of the critical infrastructure sector, including natural gas providers, are considered necessary to the security, economic security, public health and safety of California. SoCalGas continues to perform work needed to safely and reliably maintain its natural gas infrastructure and to provide communities with safe and reliable energy services. SoCalGas also continues to make essential and emergency service appointments, including reports of suspected natural gas leaks, carbon monoxide checks, gas meter turn-ons, natural gas outage and pilot re-lights while protecting the safety of our workforce, customers and the communities we serve .

SoCalGas Takes Next Step Toward Offering Renewable Natural Gas

LOS ANGELES –April 17, 2020-- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced it and other important stakeholders have agreed on details of a proposed plan to offer renewable natural gas to customers, and have filed that agreement with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Stakeholders include consumer advocate groups (including the state’s consumer advocate), a national environmental organization, and various industry groups. Renewable natural gas can be used just like traditional natural gas to cook, heat homes and run businesses, and fuel trucks and buses. The fuel can be made when methane, a greenhouse gas that occurs naturally when organic waste breaks down, is captured rather than being released into the air. The proposed program would allow millions of Californians the option to purchase a portion of their natural gas from renewable sources, just as many today can opt to purchase renewable electricity. The program is expected to create increased demand for renewable natural gas, which can help increase supply and lower its cost over time, similar to what has happened with renewable electricity created from wind and solar power. “Replacing traditional natural gas with the renewable kind is a great way to reduce climate change emissions,” said Andy Carrasco, SoCalGas chief environmental officer. “People like using natural gas for cooking, hot water and home heating, so using renewable gas allows them to keep their preferred energy source while helping achieve climate goals.” With the agreement in place, the CPUC can begin its review and evaluation process; a decision could come in the fall of this year. The production and use of renewable natural gas in California has steadily increased since the enactment of a 2016 law requiring the reduction of methane emissions from dairy farms and diversion of food and green waste from landfills. Over 30 dairy renewable natural gas projects are now in operation in the state, and about 50 more are in various stages of development. Renewable natural gas from a San Joaquin Valley dairy digester facility began flowing into SoCalGas' pipelines over a year ago. Renewable natural gas is also being made in California from household food waste, grass clippings and the like, keeping such waste out of landfills and putting it to use. In 2018, SoCalGas began putting the renewable gas in its pipelines from a waste hauling company's anaerobic digestion facility in Perris, California. In 20 years, enough renewable natural gas will be available to replace about 90 percent of the nation's current residential natural gas consumption, a recent study by ICF estimates. While thus far most renewable natural gas produced in California has been used for heavy-duty trucking, Renewable natural gas can also be used in homes, which contribute about six percent of California’s greenhouse gas emissions. A 2018 study showed that replacing less than 20 percent of SoCalGas’ traditional natural gas supply with renewable natural gas by 2030 can achieve the same greenhouse gas reductions as converting all homes and commercial buildings to electric-only energy. That same study also found that using a mix of in- and out-of-state renewable gas resources would be 2 to 3 times more cost effective in reducing greenhouse gases than converting homes to all-electric. Renewable Natural Gas Program Details If approved, the renewable natural gas program will be available to residential and small commercial and industrial customers. Residential customers will be able to select a fixed dollar amount per month for the purchase of renewable natural gas. Commercial customers will be able to select a fixed dollar amount per month or select a percentage of their consumption for the purchase of renewable natural gas, up to 100%. Each month, participating customers would see a line item on their bill that includes the amount of renewable gas they received, along with a very small program fee. To allow the utilities to enter into the longer-term contracts necessary to purchase renewable natural gas, residential customers will have to commit to one year. After one year, they would have the option to change their dollar amount or could participate on a month-to-month basis. As customers opt to purchase renewable natural gas, SoCalGas will buy the renewable gas from producers and reduce the amount of fossil gas that is brought into their pipeline systems. As renewable natural gas enters the SoCalGas pipeline system, its molecules blend together with traditional natural gas just like solar and wind electrons on the electric grid. Every additional therm of this renewable fuel that customers purchase means one less therm of traditional natural gas is used. # # # About SoCalGas Headquartered in Los Angeles, SoCalGas® is the largest gas distribution utility in the United States. SoCalGas delivers affordable, reliable, clean and increasingly renewable gas service to 21.8 million customers across 24,000 square miles of Central and Southern California, where more than 90 percent of residents use natural gas for heating, hot water, cooking, drying clothes or other uses.

SoCalGas Announces Approval of 10-Year Mobile Home Park Safety Upgrade Program

LOS ANGELES, April 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced it has received state approval to provide safety and service upgrades to thousands of additional mobile home parks through a ten-year Mobilehome Park Utility Conversion Program. Since its inception in 2014, the program has upgraded infrastructure and enhanced safety at more than 16,000 mobile homes in more than 244 mobile home communities throughout SoCalGas' territory. Now, due to the program's success, the CPUC voted to establish it as a ten-year, ongoing program, authorizing SoCalGas to upgrade up to half of the approximately 132,000 mobile homes in its service territory to direct utility service through 2030. The MHP Utility Conversion Program is completely voluntary. Participating mobile home communities receive a new, professionally installed gas system that provides enhanced home safety and energy reliability for residents. As direct SoCalGas customers, residents can also sign up for a variety of SoCalGas' energy savings and assistance programs that can help them save money. "This program will enhance safety for thousands of families across our service territory." said Rodger Schwecke, SoCalGas' senior vice president of gas operations and construction. "With direct utility service, families will also have access to a host of energy savings and assistance programs that will help mobile home park residents save money and live more comfortably." "As the Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Manufactured Home Communities, I applaud the California Public Utilities Commission's ten-year continuation of the Mobile Home Park Utility Conversion Program," said Senator Connie M. Leyva (D- Chino). "This program continues to help residents of mobile home park communities across California, and I appreciate SoCalGas' participation in this program." "The process from start to finish was incredibly smooth with minimal issues," said, Jamie Taylor manager of a Gardena, California mobile home park called Los Flamingos Lodge, which had direct utility service installed last year. "The entire SoCalGas team was efficient and worked seamlessly with our residents to get the work completed in a timely manner. Our mobile park's direct SoCalGas service will help us maintain state compliance guidelines and will allow park management to focus on other areas that can help improve our community for our residents." Enrique Lopez, a resident at Peter Pan Mobile Village in Compton, California, received direct utility service last year. "SoCalGas did a great job," he said. "Everything is going well, and I am very happy with my gas service." Mobile home park residents with direct natural gas service will have advanced meters, which allow customers to have access to their hourly natural gas usage on a next-day basis and enable them to better manage their gas usage and save money. New SoCalGas customers will now also be able to set up their own "My Account" to view and pay their bill online, schedule service and/or sign up for paperless billing. Income-qualified customers can also benefit from energy savings and assistance programs that can help them save money. More information about these programs is available at socalgas.com (search "Assistance") or by calling 1-800-252-0259 (available in English and Spanish). Owners of participating mobile home communities also see benefits. Owners will no longer have to maintain or be liable for privately-owned gas systems and instead can contact SoCalGas directly for service needs. Direct service also saves owners time, since they no longer have to read meters, bill residents or respond to service questions. The program covers costs for installing new utility service at each mobile home community including, individual resident meters. Nearly 80 percent of all mobile home communities in SoCalGas' territory applied to participate in the initial pilot program.

Sempra Energy Virtual Investor Day Focuses On Business Resilience And Sustainable Growth

SAN DIEGO, March 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Sempra Energy's (NYSE: SRE) senior management team is providing an update on the company's business strategy on an Investor Day conference call, including details on the company's five-year capital plan, projected rate base growth, segment-level earnings guidance and planned improvements to balance sheet strength. "In the midst of a global health crisis, our first obligation is to the health and safety of our employees and the communities we serve," said Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and CEO of Sempra Energy. "Building resilience into our business model and investing in safe and reliable infrastructure is at the core of our strategy." "At Sempra Energy, our five-year capital plan – the most robust in our company's history – gives us great visibility into sustainable earnings growth that should help create long-term value for our stakeholders," added Martin. "Our strategy also focuses our investments within the most attractive markets in North America, with a sharp focus on the portion of the energy value chain where we believe we can create the most attractive risk-adjusted returns." Sempra Energy reiterated its five-year capital plan of approximately $32 billion, primarily focused on investments at the company's U.S. utilities – San Diego Gas & Electric Co. (SDG&E), Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and Oncor Electric Delivery Co. LLC. These investments support safety, reliability and sustainability for the benefit of customers and all stakeholders. The capital plan results in a projected 9% rate base compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for 2019 to 2024, and a projected combined rate base of more than $51 billion in 2024. Sempra Energy's full-year 2020 GAAP earnings-per-share (EPS) guidance range is $12.78 to $14.26 and includes the estimated gain on the sale of the company's South American businesses. Today, the company reaffirmed its full-year 2020 adjusted EPS guidance range of $6.70 to $7.50 and 2021 guidance range of $7.50 to $8.10. Additionally, Sempra Energy continues to focus on strengthening its balance sheet to create financial flexibility and fund future growth. Across its consolidated family of companies, Sempra Energy has approximately $6.4 billion in liquidity, including cash and available credit capacity. In addition, Oncor has $2.3 billion in liquidity, including cash and available credit capacity dedicated to their operations. In connection with its financial plan, Sempra Energy does not have current plans for equity offerings. In 2019, Sempra Energy announced two agreements that would conclude the company's planned sale of its South American businesses for expected combined after-tax cash proceeds of approximately $4.55 to $4.85 billion, subject to adjustments and satisfaction of closing conditions. Both of the company's South American sale transactions, one to sell Sempra Energy's equity interests in its Peruvian businesses and the other to sell its equity interests in its Chilean businesses, continue to advance and are expected to be completed in the next three to six weeks. The expected sale proceeds will be used to strengthen the company's balance sheet and help fund future growth. Across Sempra Energy's liquefied natural gas (LNG) business, the company continues to target portfolio returns above those of its U.S. utility businesses and continues to advance its development projects with a disciplined approach. Phase 1 of the Cameron LNG liquefaction-export project in Hackberry, Louisiana, is nearing completion. Once complete, Sempra Energy's share of full-year run-rate earnings from Phase 1, which includes the first three trains, are projected to be between $400 million and $450 million annually under Cameron LNG's tolling agreements. Sempra Energy indirectly owns 50.2% of Cameron LNG. Cameron LNG is jointly owned by affiliates of Sempra LNG, Total S.A., Mitsui & Co., Ltd., and Japan LNG Investment, LLC, a company jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha. Phase 1 of the Energía Costa Azul (ECA) LNG liquefaction-export project, under development in Baja California, Mexico, continues to move forward. Earlier this month, ECA LNG signed a fixed-price, lump-sum, turn-key engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract with Technip FMC. ECA LNG is targeting a final investment decision in the second quarter of 2020. Additionally, earlier this month, Port Arthur LNG, LLC and Bechtel Oil, Gas, and Chemicals, Inc., signed a fixed-price EPC contract for the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project under development in Port Arthur, Texas, and site preparation work continues. While the majority of Sempra Energy's businesses are considered critical by the federal government and are currently operating without material disruptions, the fast-evolving global health crisis adds more uncertainty to the projections contained in this press release and the projections planned for the company's Investor Day conference call.

Sempra Energy Foundation To Donate Up To $500,000 To Support Texas Nonprofits Impacted By COVID-19

SAN DIEGO, March 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) today announced that the Sempra Energy Foundation will donate up to $500,000 to help small to medium-sized nonprofits in Texas as they continue to serve critical needs related to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. "Many nonprofit organizations are faced with unprecedented demand for their services due to the current COVID-19 situation," said Dennis V. Arriola, board chair of the Sempra Energy Foundation, and executive vice president and group president of Sempra Energy. "These grants will help them to continue serving the needs of vulnerable populations who need their support now more than ever." The grants for Texas nonprofits will be part of a larger $1.75 million Nonprofit Hardship Fund from the Sempra Energy Foundation that will be made available to charities in the areas of the United States where Sempra Energy and its family of companies operate, including California, Texas and Louisiana. "Texans from all walks of life are coming together to defeat COVID-19 and its economic impact," said Texas State Senator Kelly Hancock, the Chairman of the Senate Business & Commerce Committee. "I appreciate the Sempra Energy Foundation for stepping up to help local Texas nonprofits and communities with resources to recover from the impact of the coronavirus. I am confident that strong leadership from Texas citizens, employers, and charitable foundations will expedite the recovery process and get our communities and economies back on track." The Sempra Energy Foundation's Nonprofit Hardship Fund will provide grants of up to $50,000 to nonprofit organizations serving populations affected by COVID-19. This could include, among other things: support for the increased volume of services being provided to clients, such as meals for homebound seniors; support for unexpected expenses associated with fulfilling those services; and/or support to sustain operations and services to populations impacted by COVID-19 amid pandemic-related cancellation of major fundraisers. "Sempra continues to show its generosity and commitment to standing in solidarity with some of the neediest members of the Southeast Texas community," said Dan Maher, president and CEO of the Southeast Texas Food Bank. "After Hurricane Harvey's impact, Sempra showed its great corporate spirit and rallied around our community in a substantial way. It has been proactive in working with us to address community needs ever since. So, while it is not surprising that Sempra would wish to be a partner as we respond to the unique challenges of the coronavirus, it is truly impressive that at a moment when philanthropy is expected to dip because of the national scope of this crisis, Sempra has risen up to make a huge investment in the health and well-being of children in Southeast Texas." Sempra Energy began operating in Texas more than 20 years ago. In May 2019, the company acquired a 50% limited-partnership interest in Sharyland Utilities, LLC. Sempra Energy is also the majority owner of Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (Oncor), the largest electric transmission and distribution utility in Texas, serving more than 10 million consumers. In 2019, Sempra Energy also supported Oncor's acquisition of InfraREIT, Inc. Through the acquisitions of Oncor, InfraREIT and Sharyland, Sempra Energy has made investments of more than $10 billion in Texas. Additionally, Sempra Energy's subsidiary Sempra LNG is developing the proposed Port Arthur LNG export project in Jefferson County, Texas. Port Arthur LNG is a multibillion-dollar infrastructure investment that will enable the delivery of natural gas sourced from Texas to world markets. The project will also support manufacturing, small businesses and the community by creating thousands of jobs and contributing to the local economy. Sempra LNG develops and builds natural gas liquefaction facilities and is pursuing the development of five strategically located LNG projects in North America with a goal of delivering up to 45 million tonnes per annum of clean natural gas to the largest world markets, which would make Sempra Energy one of North America's largest developers of LNG-export infrastructure facilities.
