Sempra Foundation Helps Bring Cleaner Cookstoves to Indigenous and Environmental Justice Communities Across Mexico

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Foundation, founded and funded by Sempra (NYSE: SRE) (BMV: SRE), is helping to advance energy access and emissions reductions for environmental justice and indigenous communities in Mexico through a $1.1 million donation to Tijuana, Baja California-based nonprofit Fundación Mozcalti to provide these communities with cleaner cookstoves and other clean energy assets. Once all installations are completed, the projects are anticipated to benefit over 40,000 people in more than 60 communities in the Mexican states of Baja California, Sonora, Michoacan, Chiapas, Oaxaca, Veracruz and Morelos. With more than 20 years of experience working with underserved populations across Mexico, Fundación Mozcalti's mission is to empower vulnerable communities in Mexico with a focus on education, health, basic needs and social entrepreneurship. In late 2022, a group of Sempra employees volunteered their time to help Fundación Mozcalti install the cleaner cookstoves and other clean energy assets in communities across Baja California, Mexico. "It is incredibly meaningful to know Sempra Foundation has helped expand energy access in under-resourced communities," said Lisa Larroque Alexander, director and chair of Sempra Foundation. "Through our support of these communities, we are helping shape a healthier, more prosperous and cleaner future for all." The collaboration between Sempra Foundation and Fundación Mozcalti began in 2021 with a nearly $500,000 donation that supported the installation of 2,400 cleaner cookstoves in dozens of remote communities across Mexico where cooking often occurred over open fires. Sempra Foundation donated an additional $600,000 to Fundación Mozcalti in 2022 to help provide another 2,400 cleaner cookstoves for households in remote Mexican communities. In comparison to the cleaner cookstoves, cooking over an open fire creates more emissions, is more expensive, and can cause negative health effects including respiratory illnesses and vision problems. These new stoves are also portable and can be used to prepare food to be sold at local markets, serving as a source of income and economic prosperity for families and communities in these areas. Sempra Foundation and Fundación Mozcalti also launched a biodigester pilot program in 2022 with the installation of two types of biodigesters. The first type of biodigester is a small, household backyard system that allows individual households to turn food scraps and waste into cleaner cooking gas and rich fertilizer. The second type of biodigester is used for small business, restaurants, farms and community centers that serve as soup kitchens. In addition to biodigesters, solar-powered refrigerators are planned to be provided to multiple community centers and solar energy are planned to be installed at community water pumping stations in Morelos, Mexico. Currently, families in the community pay a monthly fee to access water for one hour once a week. The solar installation pilot project is designed to offer families greater access to affordable, reliable water. Sempra Foundation received the Empresa Socialmente Responsable award from the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) in Mexico for its efforts to improve the lifestyles in communities in and around Mexico. About Sempra Foundation Founded by Sempra in 2007, Sempra Foundation has long been focused on investing its energy and resources into efforts that make a real difference for people when they need it most. It encourages community engagement among the 20,000 employees who work for Sempra and its operating companies by matching certain employee contributions of time and money to any eligible 501(c)(3) charitable organization they choose to support.

SoCalGas Updates Customers on Current Natural Gas Prices

Market conditions improve: critical out-of-state pipeline service restored; experts also cite improved weather conditions and related decrease in natural gas demand as contributing to lower market prices SoCalGas continues to encourage customers to conserve as natural gas markets remain sensitive to changing weather and maintenance updates LOS ANGELES, Feb. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) today provided customers with an update on natural gas prices across the West Coast. After a significant drop from unprecedented January natural gas commodity prices, market prices for March, 2023 are currently trending closer to 2022 prices. Improved weather conditions and a related reduction in natural gas usage have led prices to continue to fall along the West Coast, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), which is charged with collecting, analyzing and disseminating independent and impartial energy information. In addition, the restoration of service to the out-of-state pipeline, which has been offline for two years, is expected to increase supply capacity to the Southwest by as much as 500 million cubic feet per day. However, the markets where SoCalGas purchases natural gas remain volatile and sensitive to changing weather and maintenance updates. "It is still too early to tell if this positive trend will continue, but with warmer weather ahead, we do not expect to see price swings as large as we saw earlier in the winter," said Gillian Wright, chief customer officer for SoCalGas. Consistent with regulatory requirements, SoCalGas will file March core procurement prices (rates) with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) at the end of February. The core procurement rate reflects the price SoCalGas pays for natural gas for residential and business customers. That rate changes each month. SoCalGas does not set the price for natural gas. Instead, natural gas prices are determined by national and regional markets. SoCalGas buys natural gas in those markets on behalf of residential and small business customers, and the cost of buying that gas is billed to those customers with no markup. The markets where SoCalGas purchases natural gas remain volatile and sensitive to changing weather and maintenance updates. For example, consistent with applicable rules and regulations, SoCalGas issued a notice Tuesday about a about a safety related condition resulting in a capacity reduction on another natural gas pipeline - Line 235. What caused prices to spike in the first place? According to the EIA, several factors contributed to higher natural gas commodity prices: Widespread, below-normal temperatures on much of the West Coast, including Washington and Oregon; High natural gas demand for heating by customers in areas with below normal temperatures; Reduced natural gas supplies to the West Coast from Canada; Reduced interstate pipeline capacity to the West Coast because of pipeline maintenance activities in West Texas (the out-of-state pipeline mentioned earlier in this release); and Low natural gas storage levels in the Pacific Region. A detailed report about these market conditions can be found here: https://www.eia.gov/naturalgas/weekly/archivenew_ngwu/2022/12_22/. Experts weigh in on natural gas market conditions A number of experts have weighed in on the market conditions that led to unprecedented natural gas prices in December. The California Public Utilities Commission last week held a public hearing to discuss those conditions. Alan Mayberry, associate administrator for pipeline safety for the United States Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) told the CPUC his agency authorized the return to service of the out-of-state pipeline identified by EIA as one source of high January's high prices. "As of yesterday, we gave Kinder Morgan (the pipeline's owner and operator) the go-ahead to return Line 2000 to their normal operating pressure," Mayberry told the CPUC. On Tuesday, Feb 15 Kinder Morgan lifted operational restrictions on the out-of-state pipeline. According to the EIA, the pipeline's return to full service will increase natural gas takeaway capacity out of West Texas by close to 500 million cubic feet per day, increasing supply into the Desert Southwest. What is SoCalGas doing for its customers? In January, SoCalGas tripled its contribution to the Gas Assistance Fund, increasing it to $1 million. This program helps income-qualified customers pay their natural gas bills with a one-time $100 grant. Customers also should see some relief soon, courtesy of the CPUC accelerating the California Climate Credit. SoCalGas customers will receive a credit of $50.77 in their February or March bill, depending on their billing cycle. In addition, SoCalGas continues to encourage customers to take advantage of programs and services that can help manage and save costs. SoCalGas' 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. Ways to Save can be found at socalgas.com/WaysToSave. Customers can also sign up for weekly Bill Tracker Alerts to monitor natural gas consumption, take steps to reduce usage, and avoid bill surprises. Eligible customers may sign up for a Level Pay Plan (LPP), for example, which averages their annual natural gas use and costs over 12 months. There are also financial assistance programs for eligible customers who are experiencing hardships. SoCalGas also offers the following tips to help potentially reduce energy usage: Lowering your thermostat three to five degrees – if health permits – can save up to 10 percent on heating costs. Installing proper caulking and weather-stripping can save roughly 10 to 15 percent on heating and cooling bills. Washing clothes in cold water to save up to 10 percent on water heating costs. Considering turning down the temperature on your water heater, keeping in mind that most hot water heaters require a temperature of 120 degrees or higher. Limiting use of non-essential natural gas appliances such as spas and fireplaces.

SoCalGas Showcases Sustainable Technologies by Hyundai Motor Company and New Holland Agriculture North America at World Ag Expo

Hyundai’s hydrogen fuel-cell powered truck and New Holland’s near-zero emissions tractor to help reduce emissions in transportation and agriculture. TULARE, Calif., February 14, 2023 – Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) joins Hyundai Motor Company and New Holland Agriculture North America at the annual World Ag Expo this week in displaying two breakthrough, first-of-their-kind technologies. SoCalGas’ booth will showcase Hyundai’s Class 8 XCIENT Fuel Cell heavy-duty truck, equipped with a 180 kW fuel cell system and an e-motor with a maximum output of 350 kW, to support the demands of commercial fleet users. The booth will also display New Holland’s T6.180 Methane Power tractor, the first commercially available tractor powered by a sustainable fuel source in agriculture, operating on renewable natural gas (RNG) or compressed natural gas (CNG). “Experts and policymakers are recognizing that a broad set of tools, including clean fuels like renewable natural gas and clean renewable hydrogen, and carbon management, are needed to achieve California’s climate and air goals by 2045,” says Don Widjaja, vice president of customer solutions at SoCalGas. “SoCalGas is excited to partner with New Holland and Hyundai at the World Ag Expo to highlight technologies that are not only clean but can also effectively meet the transportation needs of the agricultural industry.” SoCalGas continues to move forward in its goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2045. The company has already achieved a 37% reduction in fugitive methane emissions, surpassing the State’s goal of 20% by 2025, and is nearing the State’s goal of a 40% reduction by 2030. SoCalGas has also set a benchmark to operate a 100% zero-emissions over-the-road fleet by 2035, and its Angeles Link project could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from hard-to-electrify parts of the California economy like heavy-duty trucking. Hyundai Motor Company is also playing a crucial role in creating an emissions-free, hydrogen fuel cell heavy duty truck ecosystem. The XCIENT Fuel Cell tractor model has a driving range of up to 450 miles, requires less time to refuel than its electric counterpart, which helps maximize efficiency, and produces only a single byproduct: pure H2O. The truck features an extremely robust hydrogen storage tank with multiple levels of protection to safeguard against accidental leaks and punctures. “XCIENT Fuel Cell is the world’s first heavy-duty fuel cell truck to accumulate more than 3.5 million miles of real-life customer driven operations in Switzerland,” said Mark Freymueller, Senior Vice President and Head of Commercial Vehicle Business Innovation of Hyundai Motor Company. “Based on our successful operations and diverse array of public-private partnerships, we will continue to leverage our insights to drive commercial vehicle decarbonization and accelerate the transition to a sustainable hydrogen society.” New Holland, a clean energy leader in the development of renewable fuels and emissions reduction systems, introduced its breakthrough sustainable agriculture technology to the U.S. market last year. “The T6.180 Methane Power tractor is an important step forward on the path to decarbonizing agriculture in California. It allows farmers to grow crops and use agricultural waste to generate RNG to power their tractor, achieving near-zero CO2 emissions,” said Joe Boufford, Product Marketing Manager for Mid-Range Tractors at New Holland. The tractor produces 98% less particulate matter compared to emission limits allowed under European Stage V emissions regulations and can provide up to a 30% reduction in running costs compared to its diesel counterpart. A tractor fueled by CNG reduces CO2 emissions by 10-15%, overall emissions by 80%, with near-zero emissions achieved when fueled by RNG. SoCalGas is proud to have exhibited at every World Ag Expo since its inception in 1968. Its booths are located at H30 at the corner of H & Median Street.

Lieutenant Governor Kounalakis Joins SoCalGas to Unveil First-of-its-Kind [H2] Innovation Experience

This type of clean hydrogen microgrid has the potential to deliver reliable and renewable energy around-the-clock to more than 100 homes, rain or shine, for as much as seven days LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) Chief Executive Officer Scott Drury was joined today by Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis to unveil and officially power on the [H2] Innovation Experience ([H2]IE), North America's first-of its kind, clean, renewable hydrogen microgrid and home. The [H2] Innovation Experience offers a look at how clean, renewable hydrogen microgrids can reliably power entire neighborhoods, day and night throughout the year. This type of clean hydrogen microgrid has the potential to deliver reliable and renewable energy around-the-clock to more than 100 homes, rain or shine, for as much as seven days. "Innovative projects like the [H2]IE demonstrate how California is leading the clean energy transition," said Lieutenant Governor Kounalakis. "This first-of-its-kind project shows how clean renewable hydrogen and microgrids can help power homes, enhance grid reliability, and preserve and grow good-paying union jobs in our state." "The [H2] Innovation Experience showcases how California can achieve two of its top policy priorities – energy reliability and decarbonization – at the same time," said SoCalGas Chief Executive Officer, Scott Drury. "This innovative project demonstrates how the gas and electric grids – working together – can help California reach net-zero emissions more quickly, affordably, and reliably." Located at the SoCalGas Energy Resource Center in the city of Downey, the [H2] Innovation Experience is centered around a state-of-the-art microgrid that is producing clean, renewable hydrogen made from solar electricity on-site. The 2,000 square-foot home was built to adhere to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum standards and is powered by reliable and clean, renewable hydrogen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The microgrid draws power from solar panels on sunny days and converts excess energy into renewable hydrogen, which can be stored and then converted back into electricity via an on-site hydrogen fuel cell. Clean, renewable hydrogen will also be blended with natural gas and used in the home's tankless water heater, clothes dryer, stove, fireplace, and BBQ grill. In 2021, the [H2] Innovation Experience received a Fast Company's World-Changing Ideas in North America Award. More recently, the Los Angeles chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council recognized the project for its sustainable innovation. What others are saying about the [H2] Innovation Experience "The [H2]IE makes use of world-class energy infrastructure that UWUA members have built over the past century and brings the promise of fresh opportunities for tens of thousands of UWUA members who operate and maintain our infrastructure every day," said James T. Slevin, president of Utility Workers Union of America, AFL-CIO. " California needs labor to meet its ambitious plans to address climate change... and we are here," said Aaron Stockwell, international representative with the United Association. "This project gives us a glimpse of what we can accomplish when ambition and innovation are partnered with our skilled workforce." "As we work toward achieving California's clean energy goals, hydrogen will play an essential role in meeting future energy demand. The Hydrogen Innovation Experience is an important step in realizing hydrogen's full potential," said Ramon Ponce de Leon, Jr., president of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 13. "With green hydrogen, ILWU members at our vital ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach retain their good union jobs operating equipment that is clean, flexible, and cost-effective." "Small, minority-owned businesses are the backbone of Los Angeles' economy," said Gene Hale, chairman of the Greater Los Angeles Chamber African American of Commerce. "The Los Angeles African American business community is already working to forge more sustainable communities, and we are excited to be a part of innovative projects like the [H2]IE that help bring us closer to that goal." "For a business like ours that builds critical infrastructure and helps diverse communities across California thrive, hydrogen represents our next infrastructure boom," said George Pla, founder and CEO of Cordoba Corporation. "The [H2]IE is symbolic of what this can look like in everyday lives. California is blessed with vibrant diverse businesses needed to support this next generation of energy infrastructure." "The [H2]IE has significant positive implications for the future of California's businesses," said Jennifer Barrera, president and CEO of CalChamber. "Our businesses need access to clean and reliable energy. California's business community is enthusiastic about this project and the promise of cleaner technologies that best meet our needs." Sustainability Leadership SoCalGas is a leader in sustainability, having been the first large natural gas utility in the United States to announce its aim to have net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. 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 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's sustainability strategy also extends to the more than 500 diverse communities the company serves across California. In 2021, for example, SoCalGas spent nearly $1 billion with more than 570 diverse business enterprises, procuring over 42% of total goods and services from women, minority, service-disabled veteran, LGBT, and small disadvantaged businesses. The company also increased spending with African American vendors by almost 50%. Over the last five years, SoCalGas has spent $3.9 billion with diverse business enterprises. SoCalGas' efforts were 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. "The [H2] Innovation Experience is just another progression in SoCalGas' evolution as we innovate toward net-zero emissions and leverage our 150-year history, scale, vast infrastructure, and highly skilled workforce to support California's clean air and climate goals," Drury added.

SoCalGas Triples Contribution to Gas Assistance Fund to Help Customers Impacted by Historically High Natural Gas Prices

Company encourages customers to take advantage of conservation tips and programs to help reduce their bills LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced a $1 million contribution to the Gas Assistance Fund, a program that helps income-qualified customers pay their natural gas bills. Customers will be facing bills that could be double or higher compared to last year's winter bills. The high bills are a result of historically high natural gas prices in the western United States. SoCalGas doesn't set the price for natural gas. Instead, natural gas prices are determined by national and regional markets. SoCalGas buys natural gas in those markets on behalf of residential and small business customers, and the cost of buying that gas is billed to those customers with no markup, meaning SoCalGas does not profit from gas commodity prices going up. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), a number of factors are contributing to higher natural gas commodity prices. Widespread, below-normal temperatures on much of the West Coast, including Washington and Oregon; High natural gas demand for heating by customers in areas with below normal temperatures; Reduced natural gas supplies to the West Coast from Canada and the Rocky Mountains; Reduced interstate pipeline capacity to the West Coast because of pipeline maintenance activities in West Texas; and Low natural gas storage levels on the West Coast. A detailed report about these market conditions can be found here: https://www.eia.gov/naturalgas/weekly/. The Gas Assistance Fund is a joint effort between SoCalGas and United Way of Greater Los Angeles, working with non-profit organizations throughout our service territory, to help income-qualified customers pay their natural gas bill with a one-time grant of up to $100 per household. Full guidelines for qualification can be found at https://www.socalgas.com/gaf. "We know that these higher prices have a real impact on our customers," said Senior Vice President and Chief Customer Officer Gillian Wright. "But we want them to know that there is help. We have valuable information on how to conserve energy, programs to assist with managing your energy usage and an unprecedented contribution to our Gas Assistance Fund, which will help our most vulnerable customers pay their bills." To help customers manage energy usage and possibly save on bills, SoCalGas recommends the following tips: Lowering your thermostat three to five degrees – if health permits – can save up to 10 percent on heating costs. Installing proper caulking and weather-stripping can save roughly 10 to 15 percent on heating and cooling bills. Washing clothes in cold water to save up to 10 percent on water heating costs. Considering turning down the temperature on your water heater. Limiting use of non-essential natural gas appliances such as spas and fireplaces. SoCalGas' 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. Ways to Save can be found at www.socalgas.com/waystosave. Customers can also sign up for weekly Bill Tracker Alerts to monitor gas consumption, take steps to reduce usage, and avoid bill surprises. Alerts are sent through email or text and include a bill-to-date and projected next bill amount to help manage energy bills as easily as possible. Eligible customers may also sign up for a Level Pay Plan (LPP), which averages their annual natural gas use and costs over 12 months. SoCalGas also encourages individuals who are experiencing hardship to explore the many bill payment or assistance programs options it offers or to call 1-800-427-2200. Customers may be eligible for one of many assistance programs including: California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE): Eligible participants can save 20 percent on their natural gas bill. Socalgas.com/CARE Energy Savings Assistance Program (ESAP): Eligible customers can save energy and money through professional home improvements at no cost. Socalgas.com/Improvements Residential Advanced Clean Energy Program (RES DI): Eligible customers residing in single-family homes can receive a complimentary walkthrough energy assessment and installation of energy technologies to help conserve and lower energy usage. Arrearage Management Plan (AMP): Eligible customers can apply to have their past due balance forgiven. Learn more at www.socalgas.com/forgiveness.

Sempra Infrastructure Announces Sale and Purchase Agreement with RWE for Port Arthur LNG

HOUSTON, Dec. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra (NYSE: SRE) (BMV: SRE), today announced it has entered into a long-term sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with RWE Supply & Trading, a subsidiary of RWE (RWE: AG), for the supply of approximately 2.25 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project under development in Jefferson County, Texas. The LNG will be delivered on a free-on-board basis for 15 years. The agreement also provides a framework to explore ways to lower the carbon intensity of LNG produced from the Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project through GHG emission reduction, mitigation strategies and a continuous improvement approach. "We could not be more excited to finalize our agreement with RWE as we continue supporting the energy security and environmental goals of our European customers," said Justin Bird, CEO of Sempra Infrastructure. "Because of its scale, location and permitting status, Port Arthur LNG is benefitting from a lot of commercial momentum with nearly all the projected off-take capacity for Phase 1 now under long-term agreements with some of the leading global energy companies. Today's announcement moves us one step further along in the process of making Port Arthur LNG a reality." "Our partnership with Sempra Infrastructure, one of the leading companies for LNG infrastructure in the US, is another important step to diversify Germany's gas supply and thus contributes to enhancing security of supply in Europe on a long-term basis," said Andree Stracke, CEO of RWE Supply & Trading. "Thanks to the LNG supply contract with Sempra Infrastructure, we can also enlarge our international LNG portfolio." Sempra Infrastructure recently announced it has entered into long-term agreements with ConocoPhillips, INEOS and ENGIE for the sale and purchase of approximately 7.3 Mtpa of LNG from the proposed Phase 1 project. The company is focused on completing the remaining steps necessary to achieve its goal of making a final investment decision for Phase 1 of the liquefaction project in the first quarter of 2023, with first cargo deliveries expected in 2027. The Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 project is permitted and expected to include two natural gas liquefaction trains and LNG storage tanks and associated facilities capable of producing, under optimal conditions, up to approximately 13.5 Mtpa of LNG. A similarly sized Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project is also competitively positioned and under active marketing and development. Development of both phases of the Port Arthur LNG project is contingent upon completing the required commercial agreements, securing and/or maintaining all necessary permits, obtaining financing, and reaching a final investment decision, among other factors.

Sempra Infrastructure Receives Export Licenses for Two LNG Projects

HOUSTON, Dec. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra (NYSE: SRE) (BMV: SRE), today announced that Energía Costa Azul, S. de R.L. de C.V. (ECA LNG) and Vista Pacifico, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (Vista Pacifico LNG) received authorization from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to re-export U.S.-sourced liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Mexico to non-Free Trade Agreement (FTA) nations. The DOE's significant action is an important milestone for these two development projects, which now are each one step closer to supporting the world's energy security and environmental goals. "Advancing new infrastructure investments is critical to supporting the energy needs of America's allies, and we are grateful for the leadership of the Biden Administration, U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, and various Congressional stakeholders—including Sens. Joe Manchin, Ted Cruz and John Cornyn. These export projects are expected to support efforts across the Indo-Pacific region to diversify energy supplies while transitioning away from coal in power production," said Justin Bird, CEO of Sempra Infrastructure. "They are also expected to help strengthen U.S. trading relationships, as well as create new jobs and boost the U.S. and Mexico economies." Under the permits granted by DOE, Vista Pacifico LNG is authorized to re-export up to 200 billion cubic feet per year (Bcf/yr) of LNG from U.S.-sourced natural gas from the project under development in Topolobampo, Sinaloa, Mexico to any country with which the United States does not have an FTA requiring national treatment for trade in natural gas. Vista Pacifico LNG is projected to be a mid-scale facility with approximately 3.5 million tons per annum (Mtpa) of export capacity. Sempra Infrastructure is advancing the development of Vista Pacifico LNG in collaboration with Mexico's Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), as previously announced. The DOE also increased the authorized export volumes of ECA LNG Phase 2, permitting it to re-export up to 636 Bcf/yr of LNG from U.S.-sourced natural gas from the proposed project in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico to non-FTA nations. Both permits are applicable for the period beginning on the date of first commercial re-export through December 2050. The proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 is expected to be comprised of two trains and one LNG storage tank and produce approximately 12 Mtpa of export capacity. ECA LNG Phase 1 received non-FTA export authorization in 2019 and is currently under construction with commercial operations expected in 2025. Development of ECA LNG Phase 2 and Vista Pacifico LNG is contingent upon completing the required commercial agreements, securing all necessary permits, obtaining financing, and reaching a final investment decision, among other factors.
