SAN DIEGO, Aug. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) today announced that its Mexican subsidiary, Infraestructura Energética Nova, S.A.B. de C.V. (IEnova) (BMV: IENOVA), signed long-term contracts with a subsidiary of Valero Energy Corp. for the storage capacity of the liquid fuels marine terminal to be constructed in Veracruz and two inland storage facilities to be constructed in Puebla and Mexico City. The three liquid fuels projects represent an estimated capital investment of U.S. $275 million. These facilities are IEnova's first ventures in Mexico's emerging $10 billion liquids market. "These projects will lay a solid foundation for us to expand this new business line into additional terminal opportunities and liquids transportation investments," said Joseph A. Householder, corporate group president of infrastructure businesses for Sempra Energy. "We plan to continue to build our strategic relationships as projects such as these fit IEnova's and Sempra Energy's core competencies." The 20-year concession agreement with the Port Authority of Veracruz awarded last month to develop, construct and operate a receipt, storage and send-out liquid fuels marine terminal also was signed today. The Veracruz terminal will have a capacity of 1.4 million barrels of gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to supply the central region of Mexico. The two storage terminals to be built and operated by IEnova in Puebla and Mexico City will have initial storage capacities of approximately 500,000 barrels and 800,000 barrels, respectively. IEnova will be responsible for the implementation of the projects, including permitting, engineering, procurement, construction, maintenance, financing and operations. IEnova expects the two inland storage terminals to be put in service in 2019, and the marine terminal, at the end of 2018. After commercial operations, and subject to all relevant regulatory and corporate authorizations, as well as the approval of the Port Authority of Veracruz, Valero will have the option to acquire 50 percent of the equity in all three assets.

SoCalGas Statement on Metro's Zero Emission Plan

Today the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Agency Board of Directors endorsed a zero emission plan. This plan would transition its fleet of buses to all-electric by 2030. SoCalGas issued the following statement in response: “More than 25 years ago, Metro made the decision to become the cleanest bus fleet in America by switching from diesel to buses that run on compressed natural gas. As a result, the air in Southern California became cleaner. The number of cancer-causing particulates and smog-forming pollutants from buses decreased dramatically; and greenhouse gases dropped by about 150 tons per day. With the replacement of fossil gas with renewable natural gas as voted by the Board last month, the greenhouse gases will reach zero, far cleaner than electric buses given California’s current electricity mix.” ###

"Additionally, SoCalGas has introduced industry-leading technology and practices in our operations at Aliso Canyon, including: Around-the-clock pressure monitoring of all wells in a 24-hour operations center; Daily patrols to visually examine every well four times each day; Daily scanning of each well, using sensitive infrared thermal imaging cameras that can detect leaks; and Enhanced training for our employees and contractors. "Injection will not resume immediately. State agencies have outlined steps that must be completed before injections can resume, including a leak survey of the facility and a flyover to measure methane emissions at the site. "We are committed to maintaining a transparent and open dialogue with the communities near Aliso Canyon and will provide regular updates on our progress at socalgas.com/alisoupdates."

SoCalGas Announces $450,000 in Grants to Environmental Nonprofits

LOS ANGELES, June 29, 2017— Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced the company will award $450,000 in grants to environmental nonprofits this year as part of its third annual Environmental Champions Initiative, a fund that supports projects focused on clean air, energy or water. The company will accept applications from qualified 501c3 organizations within its service territory from now until Aug. 18. SoCalGas has awarded more than $1 million to environmental nonprofits over the past two years alone. Last year, 43 organizations received grants in amounts ranging from $10,000 to $25,000. The prior year, the company gave grants to 37 organizations. “The Environmental Champions Initiative is just one way SoCalGas invests in creating a cleaner and healthier future for California,” said George Minter, regional vice president of external affairs and environmental strategy at SoCalGas. “The nonprofits we select as Environmental Champions deliver high-impact programs spanning a wide variety of environmental issues. We continue to be impressed with the breadth and depth of the innovative projects we have supported with the fund.” Clean and renewable energy, neighborhood restoration and air quality monitoring and reporting are just a few of the types of projects that past Environmental Champions have worked on. “Many schools are located near busy freeways in Los Angeles County, which unfortunately means that our youth are exposed to dangerous levels of air pollution regularly,” said Scott Chan, program director of Special Service for Groups/Asian Pacific Islander Forward Movement, one of last year’s recipients. “Through the generous support of SoCalGas, we engaged and empowered youth in the areas of citizen science and advocacy and worked to make schools a safer place for them to be healthy.” Additional information on the Environmental Champions Initiative, including full eligibility and application information, is available here.

SoCalGas Joins Nest to Announce Results of Winter Seasonal Savings Energy Efficiency Program

LOS ANGELES, June 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today joined smart thermostat provider Nest to announce the preliminary results of last winter's Seasonal Savings program. Initial results from the energy efficiency pilot program indicate that Nest smart thermostat owners who participated in the program saved an average of 8 percent more on their home heating use this past winter than the average Nest customer without that program. The 8 percent savings, which collectively adds up to about as much natural gas as it would take to dry 2 million loads of laundry, comes on top of the 10-12 percent average savings on home heating and cooling already attributable to Nest thermostats in the United States. From January to March 2017, more than 50,000 Nest thermostats participated in the program, which slowly fine-tuned temperatures in a customer's home heating schedule to help them save energy. Automated adjustments made through Seasonal Savings were less than one degree Fahrenheit, on average. These minor changes created more energy-efficient winter heating schedules and helped lower participants' natural gas bills without sacrificing personal preferences or comfort. "For Southern Californians, conservation is part of our daily lives. From water to electricity, we have made great strides in being responsible stewards of our natural resources," said Lisa Alexander, SoCalGas vice president for customer solutions and communications. "With the introduction of thermostats that can learn our patterns and automatically adjust to our heating and cooling needs, we can collectively save a lot of energy and keep our homes comfortable." "SoCalGas deployed Nest's Seasonal Savings program to provide our customers with an innovative, technology-driven approach to saving energy and money," said Aaron Berndt, head of west coast energy partnerships for Nest. "Our growing partnership will continue to deliver additional savings to customers while helping to conserve supplies of natural gas in a region where more than 90 percent of residents use gas to heat their homes." Summer Electricity Demand Response Program Provides Up to $125 in Credits While the Seasonal Savings season has ended, SoCalGas sponsors other initiatives that assist customers conserve energy year-round. The Save Power Days Program, for example, is a Southern California Edison (SCE) demand response program that offers registered smart thermostat users in SCE's service territory a $75 credit on their bill. They receive an extra $50 credit if they are also SoCalGas customers. To be eligible for the bill credits, participants agree to allow their device to make minor temperature settings adjustments when SCE calls a Save Power Day event, which typically occurs on warmer days when electric usage peaks due to increased air conditioning use. Owners of Nest thermostats, as well as several other select smart thermostat manufacturers, may apply.
