What’s next in clean transportation?

Transportation is a key enabler of economic activity. However, it’s also the largest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions in California, in addition to being a major source of air pollution. At Sempra, we’re making great strides to help electrify vehicles and transition the world to cleaner transportation. Over the past decade, SDG&E has developed a robust portfolio of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure programs to support the electrification of a range of vehicles (light, medium and heavy-duty). To further reduce carbon emissions and limit the effects of climate change, the public and private sectors must continue to prioritize clean transportation. The recent passing of President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill includes key initiatives aimed at advancing the expansion of EV infrastructure nationwide. This includes the reduction of carbon emissions through electrifying public transportation and heavy-duty trucks, which would help mitigate congestion and improve air quality. Our California utilities invest in clean transportation The U.S. has over 164,000 miles of highway connecting communities, all of which need EV charging infrastructure to support clean transportation. Meanwhile, according to Bloomberg NEF, EV sales have increased 80% over the past year, showing that consumers are ready and the electric grid needs to expand. In order to achieve local, regional and federal climate goals, collaboration will be key. Consequently SDG&E and other California utilities announced a Memorandum of Understanding to support a California Regional Charging Network. This agreement encourages cooperation and leadership in support of electric cars and trucks traveling along key corridors in California and beyond to reduce pollution, protect public health, advance equity, and support access to electric cars and trucks for all Californians. SDG&E has invested resources to support a full spectrum of vehicles and equipment including trucks, school buses, transit buses and forklifts. To date, the utility has built more than 3,200 chargers. In the coming years, SDG&E aims to build many more to help meet California’s ambitious clean transportation goals. By the numbers: SDG&E's commitment to clean transportation In development: ~2,000 EV chargers for workplaces and multi-unit dwellings 304 chargers at schools, parks and beaches 300 chargers to support 3,000 medium/heavy-duty vehicles Meanwhile SoCalGas announced that it took delivery of 23 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (HFCEV), marking the company's first purchase of hydrogen-powered vehicles. The company plans to expand its fleet of HFCEVs to 50, making SoCalGas among the first utilities in the nation to start transitioning to hydrogen. These new HFCEVs are the latest example of SoCalGas’ working toward its Net Zero 2045 climate goal, which includes replacing 50% of its over-the-road fleet with clean fuel vehicles by 2025 and operating a 100% zero-emission fleet by 2035. Innovation driving the transition to cleaner roads Our companies have been working aggressively to expand clean transportation infrastructure through innovation. SDG&E is piloting vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology at a school district to connect electric school buses to 60kW bi-directional DC fast chargers. The batteries onboard the buses will soak up energy during downtime and when clean energy is abundant on the grid (such as midday when solar energy production is at its peak) and discharge energy to the grid during peak demand hours in the afternoon and evening. The goal is to help ease strain on the grid, help schools save on energy costs and explore a new technology that could be crucial for the pathway to net-zero emissions. Oncor is also helping drive the change to electric vehicles. Last year, Oncor began development of a green fleet planning tool capable of forecasting EV impact on localized transmission and distribution infrastructure five to seven years out and beyond. Also, Oncor collaborated with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Southern Company on a 2020 study to examine the opportunity for near-term electrification of heavy-duty trucks, or semi-trucks with a gross vehicle weight greater than 26,000 pounds — a segment of vehicles responsible for around 15% of total U.S. transportation emissions. Sempra has been on a sustained path to decarbonize our business operations and the markets we serve for two decades and, while we are in it for the long-haul, the pace we set today matters. Learn more about how we are committed to be a leader in the energy transition to a net-zero future.

SDG&E and Sumitomo Electric Complete Zero-Emissions Microgrid Pilot Project, Helping Advance California’s Climate Goals

In support of California’s goals for 100% carbon-free electricity, grid reliability and climate resilience, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and Sumitomo Electric (SEI) undertook and successfully completed a zero-emissions microgrid pilot project using a vanadium redox flow (VRF) battery – the first of its kind to be connected to the state’s energy market in 2018. Developing zero-emissions microgrids powered with long-duration energy storage has become a top priority for California, as growing wildfire risks have led to more frequent use of Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS). Microgrids are mini power grids that can operate independently of the larger grid and keep critical facilities powered during emergencies and PSPS. In one of the test runs, the 2MW/8MWh VRF battery – functioning as part of a microgrid – powered 66 residential and commercial customers for close to five hours. “Climate conditions increasingly threaten the continuity of essential services that our customers expect and deserve from us, which is one of the many reasons we are so focused on innovation and technology,” said SDG&E CEO Caroline Winn. “There is a critical need to develop breakthrough solutions like zero-emissions microgrids to not only minimize disruptions, but to also support the transition to a cleaner, safer and more reliable energy grid of the future.” Different from more prevalent stacked lithium-ion battery cells, VRF batteries consist of tanks of liquid electrolytes and pumps that charge and discharge electrons to the grid. During the pilot, the batteries charged when solar energy was abundant and discharged during peak hours to meet demand. “We are honored that the Sumitomo flow battery has contributed to the successful demonstration of this large-scale microgrid,“ said Hideo Hato, Senior Managing Director of Sumitomo Electric. “Sumitomo’s cutting-edge non-flammable and reusable flow battery system can help support California’s climate goals and improve resiliency for the state’s electric infrastructure.” Following the 2015 signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) and the California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz), the flow battery was installed at SDG&E’s substation in Bonita, CA in 2017 as part of a collaboration between SDG&E and SEI with project funding provided by NEDO. “California already has the highest concentration of lithium-ion battery storage in the world, which has proven to be a game-changer at critical times of stress on the grid,” said Senior Advisor for Smart Grid Technology Peter Klauer at the California Independent System Operator. “It’s inspiring now to see other storage technologies emerge, creating more opportunities to balance and manage power grids. We are excited to understand the specific capabilities of VRF technology and will continue to evolve our market design to further support grid integration of energy storage technologies.” “While climate change presents many challenges, it also spurs innovations that can lead to new industries and good, family-supporting jobs,” said GO-Biz Director Dee Dee Myers. “We are proud to be part of this international collaboration, which is a great example of Japan’s continued position as the top source of foreign investment in California and a demonstration of how that investment brings new opportunities both here at home and abroad.” "It is a great honor for NEDO to successfully complete the demonstration project through our collaborative relationship with the State of California. We are grateful to our project partners at GO-Biz, SDG&E, and Sumitomo Electric for their many contributions,” said NEDO Executive Director Shuji Yumitori. “The microgrid project shows flow batteries are an innovative technology that can prevent blackouts caused by natural disasters, such as wildfires, improve grid resiliency and integrate large amounts of renewable energy. NEDO looks forward to continuing to support clean energy innovation in California and around the world." The microgrid demonstration project was completed late last year and included two successful tests. One was a seamless transition in which customers did not experience any loss of power when they were transitioned to the microgrid for electric service. The other was a black start – meaning microgrid operators established and sustained service after a complete loss of power. Customers experienced a momentary outage before they were transitioned to the microgrid, which operated in island mode separate from the larger power grid. Tests were conducted during variable weather conditions. Even on a cloudy day when solar power output was lower, the microgrid provided essential energy service. SDG&E is a leader in integrating energy storage and developing microgrids. In 2013, the company began operating the first utility-scale microgrid in America in Borrego Springs and is currently in the process of upgrading it to run on 100% renewable energy. As part of its sustainability strategy and commitment to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, SDG&E is building four additional microgrids and is on track to integrate about 145 MW of utility-owned energy storage with the local grid in 2022.

Sempra Infrastructure, Entergy Louisiana sign MOU to advance renewable energy

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra (NYSE:SRE) (BMV:SRE), announced today it has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Entergy Louisiana, LLC to develop options designed to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy to power Sempra Infrastructure's facilities in the state. "Electrification of industrial processes, increasing Louisiana's renewable and zero carbon electricity resources, and becoming a leader in the deployment of carbon sequestration, are three of the pillars that are critical to ensuring our success in a net-zero world," said Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards. "I applaud companies like Sempra Infrastructure and Entergy Louisiana that are working to help make this vision a reality." The MOU is non-binding and sets forth a framework for Entergy Louisiana and Sempra Infrastructure to collaborate on developing additional options for renewable energy procurement for Sempra Infrastructure affiliated facilities, subject to the ultimate approval of the Louisiana Public Service Commission and, with respect to Cameron LNG, its joint venture partners. The MOU also provides for collaboration for the potential reduction of methane emissions upstream of Sempra Infrastructure facilities. "We have long valued Entergy Louisiana as a critical partner in our efforts to build world-class infrastructure that creates economic opportunity for the state while also providing lower carbon-natural gas and energy security to the world," said Lisa Glatch, president of LNG and Net-Zero Solutions for Sempra Infrastructure. "As we look towards electrifying our next generation of facilities and enabling new net-zero solutions like carbon sequestration, we are immensely excited about the opportunity to explore how we can jointly accelerate the deployment of renewable energy to power these new technologies." Sempra Infrastructure owns a 50.2% interest in Cameron LNG, a 12 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) liquefied natural gas export facility operating in Hackberry, Louisiana and is working with the Cameron LNG joint venture partners to develop a cost-effective and lower-emission potential expansion of the facility. The proposed Cameron LNG expansion would include an additional liquefaction train with an offtake capacity of approximately 6.75 Mtpa that would utilize electric compression, equivalent to adding approximately 300 megawatts (MW) of demand to the Entergy Louisiana system. "Entergy Louisiana is excited to partner with one of the nation's leading energy infrastructure companies to work to reduce emissions through clean electrification and integration of renewable energy into their operations. The annual electricity consumption of a high load factor industrial facility, like the proposed Cameron LNG expansion, is equivalent to the output of approximately 900 MW of renewable energy capacity," said Phillip May, president and CEO of Entergy Louisiana.

New infrastructure opportunity on Pacific Coast

The economies of North America continue to expand and become increasingly integrated. At Sempra, we are excited to support this region’s future economic expansion through the development of modernized energy infrastructure to better meet the needs of customers. According to recent reports from the International Energy Agency, global energy demand surged in 2021, with over 50% of demand growth met with coal-fired generation. With coal use in power generation increasing by 9% in 2021, global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power generation may reach an all-time high. That is why numerous studies suggest that curtailing the dependence on coal is central to successfully modernizing the world’s energy systems. “At Sempra, we understand our role in expanding access to cleaner forms of energy, including enabling safe and reliable electricity, which we view as a core component of a healthy economy and a better quality of life,” said Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and chief executive officer of Sempra. Collaborating to support Mexico's energy security Through a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Sempra Infrastructure and Mexico’s state-owned electric utility, Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE), Sempra Infrastructure intends to develop new and cleaner natural gas projects in Mexico to help improve the country’s energy security, while supporting energy diversification of global markets through exports. With the majority of coal usage coming from Asia and the subcontinent of India, the Pacific Coast of North America represents an exciting new opportunity to dispatch liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Asia to help displace coal. Among other areas of collaboration, the MOU contemplates the joint development of the Vista Pacífico LNG export facility in Topolobampo, Sinaloa. This proposed new project is expected to be a mid-scale facility and would source lower-cost natural gas from the Permian Basin. Supply would be directed to electric generation power plants being developed by CFE in Baja California Sur, and for export to high-demand Asian markets. Additionally, the MOU proposes the development of a liquefied natural gas regasification terminal in La Paz, Baja California Sur and addresses the return to service of the Guaymas–El Oro pipeline in Sonora through a proposed re-routing of the pipeline based on mutual understanding between the Yaqui community and CFE. The proposed new route would be able to supply natural gas to industrial, commercial and residential markets in the Pacific Coast of Mexico, Baja California Sur, as well as the Vista Pacífico LNG facility. “We remain committed to helping meet Mexico’s growing energy needs as we work to expand our portfolio of renewable energy, energy networks and LNG infrastructure,” said Justin Bird, chief executive officer of Sempra Infrastructure. “By collaborating with CFE, we can bring the strengths of both organizations together to help improve Mexico’s energy supply, while also contributing to a new export industry on the Pacific Coast.” Photo: Tania Ortiz Mena signs a memorandum of understanding with the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) Strengthening local communities In addition to developing, building and operating safe, reliable infrastructure, Sempra and the Sempra Foundation have made significant investments in Mexico over the last decade to strengthen local communities through corporate citizenship investments, including programs focused on energy access and climate action. As recently as October 2021, Sempra Foundation announced a $500,000 donation to Fundación Mozcalti to provide cleaner cook stoves to more than 20,000 people in vulnerable and indigenous communities in support of energy access and emissions reductions in Mexico. Sempra also contributed a grant of over $120,000 to Wildcoast, an international nonprofit organization addressing climate change by conserving coastal and marine ecosystems, to advance a mangrove restoration project in San Ignacio Lagoon on the Baja California Peninsula. Photo: Community members in Mexico learn how to operate their new, cleaner-burning stoves Proposed Vista Pacífico project The proposed Vista Pacífico project would be Sempra’s second LNG export facility on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Sempra Infrastructure reached a final investment decision on the first phase of the Energía Costa Azul (ECA) LNG project in late 2020. ECA LNG is anticipated to be the first export terminal to connect the abundant natural gas supplies of the U.S. Western States to Baja California, and ultimately high-demand Asian markets. The development of these projects is contingent upon, among other factors, reaching definitive agreements with CFE as contemplated by the non-binding MOU, obtaining binding commitments, completing the other required commercial agreements, securing all necessary permits, obtaining financing and reaching final investment decisions.

SDG&E and Cleveland National Forest Announce Completion of Major Fire-Hardening Project

Media B-Roll San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and the Cleveland National Forest announced today the completion of the Cleveland National Forest Fire Hardening and Safety (CNF) Project, a cornerstone of the San Diego region’s community fire safety and electric system-hardening efforts. The CNF project encompassed a variety of wood-to-steel pole conversions and replacement or undergrounding of equipment to improve the fire-resistance of electric infrastructure throughout approximately 880 square miles in eastern San Diego, including the communities of Julian, Pauma Valley, Descanso, Pine Valley, Mount Laguna and Campo. “This is an enormous accomplishment for our region and the result of incredible partnerships at the local, state and federal levels, as well as the patience of so many of our customers whose lives have been disrupted over the life of the project,” said Caroline Winn, SDG&E’s Chief Executive Officer. “Many dedicated crews and individuals worked for more than a decade, often in challenging conditions, and we are so proud and excited to announce its completion knowing that it plays a vital role in SDG&E’s commitment to making our electric system safer, cleaner and more reliable.” Planning and design for one of the first fire-hardening programs to be developed by SDG&E followed devastating 2003 and 2007 wildfires, and construction began shortly after the company received unanimous approval from the CPUC and a Master Use Permit from the United States Forest Service (USFS) in 2016. The CNF project is comprised of 20 different projects that include a total replacement of 607 miles of new conductor and equipment built to withstand winds more than 85 miles-per-hour and high temperatures, 17 new miles of undergrounded distribution lines located in high-priority areas, and the replacement of more than 2,100 wood poles with new-fire resistant, weatherized steel poles. With completion of the CNF project, 30% of San Diego’s backcountry electric infrastructure has been fire-hardened to date. “This fire hardening project will not only safeguard communities within and adjacent to Forest from potential wildfire threats. It also protects priority watersheds improves sensitive wildlife habitats and scenic areas,” said Cleveland National Forest Supervisor Scott Tangenberg. “This project was indeed a team effort, and it strengthened relationships and fostered new partnerships that will have lasting results for the cultural and natural resources we manage.” The project was not only one of SDG&E’s first large-scale fire hardening projects but was also one of the most challenging so far due to its size, complexity, rugged terrain, remote locations, the amount of undeveloped land, and the abundance of cultural resources that were discovered during the project. Recognizing the importance of avoiding and protecting these sensitive resources, SDG&E worked with the U.S. Forest Service to consult with the local Kumeyaay and Luiseño Tribes to fire harden the electric infrastructure on National Forest System lands, as well as other lands within the high fire threat district. Tribal consultation efforts continue as SDG&E enters the post-construction phase of the project. The team responsible for completing the project in an environmentally and culturally sensitive manner included dedicated staff from SDG&E, the CPUC and U.S. Forest Service who worked together to ensure all mitigation measures and compliance requirements were met. SDG&E was able to successfully complete construction of the project with zero agency issued non-compliances. The CNF portfolio of projects is just one of many wildfire resiliency projects included in SDG&E’s Wildfire Mitigation Plan (WMP) filed with the CPUC each year. In accordance with Senate Bill 901, the WMP outlines the ongoing practices and additional improvements SDG&E will make beyond the investments the utility already has made to combat the effects of the changing climate and threat of year-round wildfires. For more information on SDG&E’s WMP, please visit SDGE.com/2021-Wildfire-Mitigation-Plan. SDG&E is an innovative San Diego-based energy company that provides clean, safe and reliable energy to better the lives of the people it serves in San Diego and southern Orange counties. The company is committed to creating a sustainable future by currently providing around 45 percent of its electricity from renewable sources; modernizing natural gas pipelines; accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles; supporting numerous non-profit partners; and, investing in innovative technologies to ensure the reliable operation of the region’s infrastructure for generations to come.

SoCalGas Among First Utilities in the Nation to Transition its Over-the-Road Fleet with Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) today announced that it took delivery of 23 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (HFCEV), marking the company's first purchase of hydrogen-powered vehicles. The company plans to expand its fleet of HFCEVs to 50 next month, making SoCalGas among the first utilities in the nation to start transitioning to hydrogen. These HFCEVs are an important step for SoCalGas in decarbonizing its fleet and supports the company's Net Zero 2045 climate goal, which includes replacing 50% of its over-the-road fleet with clean fuel vehicles by 2025 and operating a 100% zero-emission fleet by 2035. View footage of the Toyota Mirai HFCEVs here. " California companies must work together in the fight against climate change," said State Senator Susan Rubio. "The transportation sector is one of the largest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions in California and these types of efforts will help the state meet its climate goals." "Each vehicle in our light duty over-the-road fleet is driven an average of 10,000 miles per year. The zero-emissions Toyota Mirai HFCEVs have a driving range of 400 miles and since they run on hydrogen the only by-product is water," said Sandra Hrna, vice president of supply chain and operations support at SoCalGas. "Transitioning some of our fleet to HFCEVs will help us reduce emissions, moving SoCalGas closer to our net zero goal and helping California reach carbon neutrality faster." "Longo Toyota is honored to partner with SoCalGas on their strategy to reduce emissions from their vehicle fleet and we are excited to help them with the acquisition of 50 new Toyota Mirai fuel cell electric vehicles," said Doug Eroh, president and general manager at Longo Toyota. "The Toyota Mirai is fueled with hydrogen and makes its own electricity on board while only emitting clean water from its tailpipe. We look forward to working with SoCalGas in the years to come on the acquisition and service of their clean vehicle fleet." The light-duty vehicle industry has started to shift towards zero emissions vehicles, currently dominated by battery EVs (BEVs) and complemented by hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. SoCalGas' recently released economy-wide technical analysis reveals that in the light-duty vehicle sector, BEVs and HFCEVs could address different use cases. For vehicles with longer range requirements or higher utilization needs, such as taxis, ride-share fleet, or SoCalGas' own fleet, HFCEVs could be cost competitive in the 2020s. Earlier this year, in partnership with Hyzon Motors, SoCalGas announced plans to deploy its first hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric utility truck. As part of the partnership, Hyzon will deliver a Class 3 commercial service body utility truck to SoCalGas in 2022. The truck is expected to reach a maximum power of 200 kilowatts, with a range of 300 miles and will be built on the existing chassis OEM used by SoCalGas, minimizing the updates needed for operations, servicing, and training. With the addition of the 50 Toyota Mirai HFCEVs, a third of SoCalGas' over-the-road fleet currently operates on clean fuels. The company is on track to achieve its goal of 50% by 2025. Today, SoCalGas is actively engaged in more than 10 pilot projects related to hydrogen, including a partnership with Netherlands-based HyET Hydrogen on technology that could transform hydrogen distribution and enable the rapid expansion of hydrogen fueling stations for HFCEVs like the Toyota Mirai. The technology would allow hydrogen to be easily and affordably transported via the natural gas pipeline system, then extracted and compressed at fueling stations that provide hydrogen for HFCEVs. The transition to hydrogen is a prime example and yet another way SoCalGas is demonstrating its commitment to being the cleanest, safest, and most innovative energy company in the country. About SoCalGas Headquartered in Los Angeles, SoCalGas® is the largest gas distribution utility in the United States.
