SoCalGas Records Highest Level of Spending with Diverse Businesses in Company History

LOS ANGELES, March 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced that it achieved the highest level of spend with diverse business enterprises in the history of the company, spending more than $673 million dollars with 583 diverse suppliers last year. The company exceeded the California Public Utilities Commission's (CPUC) goal for contracting purchases with women, minority, service-disabled veteran, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender-owned businesses for the 26 th consecutive year in 2018. More than 40 percent of the utility's contract spending went to women, minority, service-disabled veteran and LGBT-owned companies, nearly double the CPUC's goal of 21.5 percent. "I'm proud that our activities and investments have not only made SoCalGas a leader in supplier diversity, but also contributed to a stronger local economy, job growth and an improved business climate," said Bret Lane, chief executive officer for SoCalGas. "We have made significant investments in supplier diversity initiatives and provided technical assistance to help diverse firms grow and succeed." "The construction manager in Bakersfield introduced us to a manager in transmission, which helped expand our network," says Hal Hays Construction chief executive officer Kirby Hays, whose father founded the company in 1991. "Other areas within SoCalGas also opened up since we forged a relationship with their Supplier Diversity department. We've met a lot of people and relationships blossomed rather quickly," he adds, noting the work resulted in about a dozen new hires. The Riverside-based, general and civil construction firm was awarded its first contract to build the utility's new base in Bakersfield. This was followed by contracts to replace concrete at the Blythe compressor station, make infrastructure improvements through the Mobilehome Park Utility Upgrade program and build a compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling station in Bakersfield. While the Native American-owned firm with 200-plus employees was well established before its SoCalGas contracts, Hays says SoCalGas' Supplier Diversity team was helpful in sharing the utility's environmental and safety priorities and keeping them updated on the competitive bid process. Spending included new major contracts with diverse suppliers for environmental services, mobile home park utility upgrade program, facilities and finance. 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. SoCalGas' commitment to diversity extends beyond its diverse suppliers to its workforce and the communities it serves as well. In 2018, SoCalGas invested more than $7.5 million to nearly 1,000 organizations across its service territory, benefiting in part underserved community groups in African American, Hispanic American, Asian Pacific American, and Native American communities. In addition, the company's diverse workforce of more than 7,500 employees includes 68 percent people of color. More information about SoCalGas' commitment to supplier diversity can be found in the newly released 2018 Supplier Diversity Annual Report. The CPUC's Utility Supplier Diversity Program topped $10.5 billion in goods and services that utilities purchased from women, minority, disabled veterans and LGBT-owned business enterprises.

Climate Resolve Names SoCalGas’ George Minter Renewable Natural Gas Champion at Annual Celebration of Innovation in the Fight Against Climate Change

LOS ANGELES – March 13, 2019 – Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced George Minter, the company’s regional vice president of external affairs & environmental policy, was named “Renewable Natural Gas Champion” by Climate Resolve, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit organization that focuses on local solutions to global climate change, Climate Resolve lauded Minter’s efforts to increase the use of renewable natural gas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a way that benefits all people, including low income families. Minter was honored at Climate Resolve’s annual Coolest in LA Gala – a celebration of innovation in Southern California’s Fight Against Climate Change. “I am honored to accept this award from Climate Resolve,” said Minter. “To truly achieve carbon-neutrality, California must capture the methane emissions from waste sources. A path to carbon neutrality that includes renewable natural gas will also be two to three times more cost effective than an all-electric solution. This is something I wholeheartedly believe in and I will continue to try to educate the public, my peers and those in government about this concept so that together, all of us in California can reach our climate goals.” “George was an early adopter of the renewable natural gas vision. He realized before many, how important RNG is in our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Sharon Tomkins, vice president customer solutions & strategy. “George has largely helped to shape our company vision on RNG and has been instrumental in educating so many on the use of renewable natural gas and its importance to California’s efforts to reduce climate impacts.” Last week, SoCalGas announced a bold plan to replace 20 percent of its traditional natural gas supply with renewable natural gas (RNG) by 2030. The announcement is part of SoCalGas' vision to be the cleanest natural gas utility in North America, delivering affordable and increasingly renewable energy to its customers. To kickstart the plan, SoCalGas will pursue regulatory authority to implement a broad renewable natural gas procurement program with a goal of replacing five percent of its natural gas supply with RNG by 2022. Renewable natural gas is a clean fuel produced from our waste streams (i.e., sewers and food waste, as well as dairy and agriculture waste) and can be used like traditional natural gas to heat homes and businesses, for cooking, and to fuel trucks and buses. RNG reduces GHG emissions because it can take more GHG emissions out of the air than it emits as an energy source. In 2016, Governor Brown signed legislation to reduce short-lived climate pollutants, including methane from organic sources. The law requires 40 percent of methane from sewage treatment plants, landfills and agriculture to be captured, with provisions to deliver that energy to customers. SoCalGas has been working to accelerate the further development of RNG projects in California. In 2018, renewable natural gas produced in the state began flowing into SoCalGas pipelines for the first time, from an anaerobic digester built and operated by waste hauling company CR&R. CR&R's facility produces renewable natural gas using organic waste collected in Southern California cities' green waste bins and already fuels 400 of their collection trucks. In January 2019, Calgren, a biofuel producer, began flowing renewable natural gas into the SoCalGas system from a dairy digester pipeline cluster. The facility will eventually collect biogas from anaerobic digesters at 12 Tulare County dairies, preventing about 130,000 tons of greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere each year, the equivalent of taking more than 25,000 passenger cars off the road for a year. Today, there are some 24 California dairy methane capture projects either operating or in development, and experts estimate there could be as many as 120 projects funded and operating in the next five years. In addition, as the state seeks to divert organic waste from landfills and capture emissions from wastewater treatment plants, more locally produced renewable natural gas will become available. A 2016 study by the University of California, Davis calculated that California has the potential to produce nearly 100 billion cubic feet (bcf) per year of renewable natural gas. This would be enough to meet the annual natural gas needs of around 2.3 million California homes. In addition, out-of-state sources of RNG are significant and growing. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. currently produces 1 trillion cubic feet of renewable natural gas every year, and that number is expected to increase to 10 trillion by 2030. Last year, a separate study showed that replacing less than 20 percent of California’s traditional natural gas supply by 2030 would achieve the same emissions reductions as electrifying the entire building sector and is two to three times more cost effective than any all-electric scenario. Consumer polls support the increased production and use of renewable natural gas. Today approximately 90 percent of homes in Southern California use gas for heating and/or cooking. Those households prefer natural gas for home heating and cooking by a margin of 4 to 1 because it Is more affordable. In addition, a recent California Building Industry Association survey of California voters found that only 10 percent of voters would consider purchasing an all-electric home and 80 percent oppose laws that would take away their natural gas appliances.

SoCalGas Joins the California Energy Commission in the Demonstration of a New Ultra-Efficient Water Heater and Space Cooler Developed by Stone Mountain Technologies

LOS ANGELES, March 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Restaurants use a lot of energy to not only prepare and cook food, but to cool kitchens, dining rooms, and other spaces. A new high efficiency, ultra-low emissions commercial water heating and space cooling unit, which begins field demonstrations at two Southern California restaurants this week, could dish out energy savings, lower operating costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions for foodservice and hospitality facility operators. The new technology uses a thermally driven heat pump fueled by natural gas or propane to capture ambient energy, achieving a heating efficiency of 140 percent or greater. It is projected to reduce energy use by 30 to 50 percent compared to standard natural gas water heaters. The highly-efficient heat pump also provides space cooling simultaneously, which reduces the need for air conditioning and can help lessen electricity use. Stone Mountain Technologies, Inc. (SMTI) developed the new heat pump by redesigning heat pump technology traditionally used for cooling and focusing it on heating with cost-effectiveness and scalability in mind. GTI is leading the demonstration, and AO Smith Corporation is also providing support. Project funding was awarded by the California Energy Commission and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) research and development funds authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission. "SoCalGas is pleased to support the development of this novel heat pump technology, which will be especially beneficial for the foodservice industry," said Yuri Freedman, senior director of business development at SoCalGas. "This single system, efficiently and with very low NOx emissions, provides hot water for washing dishes and air conditioning to cool off warm kitchens and leads to increased energy bill savings." Unlike other electrically-driven heat pump systems that use environmentally damaging hydrofluorocarbons, the new heat pump's ammonia/water refrigerant has zero ozone depletion and zero global warming potential. It was recently certified as Ultra-Low NOx per South Coast Air Quality Management District requirements. SoCalGas has been a leader in the research and development of new technologies that increase energy efficiency, reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and keeps bills affordable for customers. In the last five years alone, SoCalGas energy efficiency programs have saved more than 146 million therms, enough to power 326,000 households a year, and have reduced emissions by an amount equivalent to taking 165,000 passenger cars off the road. SoCalGas' vision is to be the cleanest natural gas utility in North America, delivering affordable and increasingly renewable energy to its customers. Earlier this month, SoCalGas announced a bold plan to replace 20 percent of its traditional natural gas supply with renewable natural gas by 2030. "The Energy Commission is proud to work with researchers throughout the state and invest in innovative technologies that can help lower energy costs for ratepayers while reducing greenhouse gas emissions," said Laurie ten Hope, deputy director of the Energy Commission's Energy Research and Development Division. "With nearly 90,000 restaurants in California, this emerging product could enable the proliferation of Zero Net Energy Restaurants," said Paul Glanville of GTI and principal investigator of the project.

SoCalGas Announces Vision to Be Cleanest Natural Gas Utility in North America

LOS ANGELES, March 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced a bold plan to replace 20 percent of its traditional natural gas supply with renewable natural gas (RNG) by 2030. Today's announcement is part of SoCalGas' vision to be the cleanest natural gas utility in North America, delivering affordable and increasingly renewable energy to its customers. To kickstart the plan, SoCalGas will pursue regulatory authority to implement a broad renewable natural gas procurement program with a goal of replacing five percent of its natural gas supply with RNG by 2022. SoCalGas also recently filed a request with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to allow customers to purchase renewable natural gas for their homes. SoCalGas aims to have CPUC approval of its voluntary program by the end of the year. Renewable natural gas is a clean fuel produced from our waste streams (i.e., sewers and food waste, as well as dairy and agriculture waste) and can be used like traditional natural gas to heat homes and businesses, for cooking, and to fuel trucks and buses. RNG reduces GHG emissions because it can take more GHG emissions out of the air than it emits as an energy source. In 2016, Governor Brown signed legislation to reduce short-lived climate pollutants, including methane from organic sources. The law requires 40 percent of methane from sewage treatment plants, landfills and agriculture to be captured, with provisions for energy delivery to customers. SoCalGas' commitment to develop RNG is part of a broader, integrated vision for the future of clean energy that keeps energy affordable, expands consumer choice, and develops long-term and seasonal renewable energy storage using existing infrastructure. "Our vision is to become the cleanest natural gas utility in North America, delivering affordable and increasingly renewable energy to our customers," said Bret Lane, SoCalGas' chief executive officer. "Californians deserve clean, safe, and reliable energy that every family can afford. Today's announcement is an important step toward delivering a clean energy future that works for every family and business in our state." "We applaud SoCalGas' commitment to have 5 percent of their supplies be renewable natural gas by 2022. Our campuses currently rely on gas-fired power plants to keep the lights on," said David Phillips, associate vice president of energy and sustainability of the University of California's Office of the President. "Decarbonizing our gas supplies can be an effective strategy to lower our greenhouse gas emissions. Widely available renewable natural gas will bring us and the rest of California closer to carbon-neutrality." "What a great goal! California needs more renewable energy, and we need all the renewable natural gas we can put into the pipeline. We welcome SoCalGas' announcement and look forward to the day renewable natural gas is available to all customers," said Joe Lyou, president and chief executive officer of the Coalition for Clean Air. "SoCalGas is taking a bold step in the fight against climate change," said Maria Salinas, president and chief executive officer of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce. "Businesses are often looking for ways to be both cost efficient and environmentally responsible. SoCalGas strikes the right balance with their vision for 2030, becoming the largest and cleanest natural gas utility in the country and helping Los Angeles continue to be a leader in environmental standards." " California has a population of 40 million people, converting the waste we produce into clean energy for use in our homes and businesses is necessary if we are going to achieve a carbon-neutral economy by 2045," said Dr. Matt Rahn of Cal State San Marcos, Environmental Leadership Institute. "Creating a balanced energy portfolio that includes renewable natural gas will help meet the state's climate goals." " Tulare County is in a vital position to produce renewable natural gas from one of our largest industries, dairy," said Paul Saldana, president and chief executive officer of the Tulare County EDC. "We are proud to be part of the solution to climate change in California." "SoCalGas continues to demonstrate great leadership with their goal to be the cleanest natural gas utility in the country," said Alicia Berhow, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs of OCBC. "Ensuring renewable natural gas is available to customers will help preserve consumer choice and provide affordable, and increasingly renewable energy to homes and businesses." SUFFICIENT RNG SUPPLIES TO ACCELERATE DEVELOPMENT With a commitment to replace 20 percent of its traditional natural gas supply with RNG, SoCalGas aims to accelerate the development of in-state renewable gas projects and achieve significant emissions reductions. Today more than 80 percent of methane emissions in California come from agriculture, dairies, wastewater treatment plants and other organic sources. A 2016 study by the University of California, Davis calculated that California has the potential to produce nearly 100 billion cubic feet (bcf) per year of renewable natural gas. This would be enough to meet the annual natural gas needs of around 2.3 million California homes. In addition, out-of-state sources of RNG are significant and growing. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. currently produces 1 trillion cubic feet of renewable natural gas every year, and that number is expected to increase to 10 trillion by 2030. RNG IS ALREADY HELPING CALIFORNIA MEET ITS CLIMATE GOALS SoCalGas has been working to accelerate the further development of RNG projects in California. In 2018, renewable natural gas produced in the state began flowing into SoCalGas pipelines for the first time, from an anaerobic digester built and operated by waste hauling company CR&R. CR&R's facility produces renewable natural gas using organic waste collected in Southern California cities' green waste bins and already fuels 400 of their collection trucks. In January 2019, Calgren, a biofuel producer, began flowing renewable natural gas into the SoCalGas system from a dairy digester pipeline cluster. The facility will eventually collect biogas from anaerobic digesters at 12 Tulare County dairies, preventing about 130,000 tons of greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere each year, the equivalent of taking more than 25,000 passenger cars off the road for a year. Today, there are some 24 California dairy methane capture projects either operating or in development, and experts estimate there could be as many as 120 projects funded and operating in the next five years. In addition, as the state seeks to divert organic waste from landfills and capture emissions from wastewater treatment plants, more locally produced renewable natural gas will become available.

SoCalGas Offers Assistance to Local Fleet Owners Seeking to Purchase New Near-Zero Emissions Natural Gas Trucks

LOS ANGELES, March 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced the company's latest efforts to help California fleets obtain funding for the purchase of new near-zero emissions heavy-duty natural gas trucks. Beginning March 5, fleets operating within the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) are eligible to apply for incentive funding to replace diesel trucks with new near-zero emissions natural gas trucks through the Carl Moyer Program. Fleet owners whose applications are accepted will receive up to $100,000 towards the purchase of the new trucks. The program grant is competitive, which means funds are distributed on a rolling basis until all money is awarded. According to the SCAQMD, almost 8,000 tons of NOx (smog-forming emissions) and more than 232 tons of particulate matter have been reduced each year with the air district as the result of the Carl Moyer Program. Last year, the Carl Moyer Program was expanded to include infrastructure projects such as fueling and charging stations and SoCalGas representatives are available to assist with applications for compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling stations in addition to applications for new trucks. In 2018, SoCalGas customers received more than $1.4 million to build three new CNG stations thanks to the Carl Moyer Program. The expansion of CNG stations across the state is a crucial step in the transition to near-zero natural gas trucks. SoCalGas customers received funding for 116 new near-zero natural gas trucks through the Carl Moyer Program in 2018. In the last two years customers have received funding to replace more than 250 diesel trucks with grants from all of California's incentive funding programs. "Incentive programs like the Carl Moyer Program are vital tools to help California reduce emissions and can help the state reach its established climate goals," said Sharon Tomkins, vice president of customers solutions and strategy for SoCalGas. "Studies show that replacing 250 diesel trucks with new, near-zero emissions natural gas trucks is the equivalent of removing more than 13,000 passenger cars from the road." The transportation sector is responsible for about 40 percent of California's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and more than 80 percent of the state's NOx, or smog-forming, emissions. Transportation is the only sector that saw an increase in GHG emissions in the last year. These new heavy-duty natural gas trucks cut smog-forming emissions by more than 90 percent compared to the cleanest heavy-duty diesel trucks on the road today. When these ultra-low emission natural gas trucks are fueled by renewable natural gas, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by at least 80 percent. Already, close to 70 percent of natural gas fleets in California are fueled with renewable natural gas. SoCalGas recently announced that renewable natural gas will soon be available at its utility-owed fueling stations. The Cummins-Westport near-zero 12-liter natural gas engine is the only heavy-duty engine in the category to not only meet, but exceed, the California Air Resources Board's cleanest optional low-NOx standard of 0.02 g/bhp-hr. Results from a recent study conducted by the University of California, Riverside helps to understand one reason replacing these diesel trucks is so important. The study showed that NOx emissions from diesel trucks are "actually much higher" than California Air Resources Board certification standards. The study cited poor performance of after treatment systems for diesel vehicles as the main reason.

SoCalGas Seeks to Offer Renewable Natural Gas to Customers

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced it has filed a request with the California Public Utilities Commission seeking to offer renewable natural gas to its 21 million customers in Central and Southern California. Renewable natural gas is a fuel produced from waste and agriculture that can be used to heat homes and businesses, for cooking, and to fuel trucks and buses. The fuel assists in helping California reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions because it is carbon-neutral or carbon-negative, meaning that it can take more GHG emissions out of the air than it emits as an energy source. Under the proposed program, millions of Californians would have 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 should help increase supply and lower its cost over time, similar to what has happened with renewable electricity created from wind and solar power. Photos of renewable natural gas projects in California are available here. "Renewable natural gas is an important component in California's efforts to reduce GHG emissions," said Sharon Tomkins, SoCalGas vice president of customer solutions and strategy. "Using renewable natural gas in homes and commercial buildings will cut greenhouse gas emissions just as much as mandating all-electric appliances, but 2 to 3 times more cost-effectively. This solution not only preserves consumer choice, it can achieve climate goals at a lower cost." As California seeks to reduce GHG emissions from homes and commercial buildings, renewable natural gas has emerged as a viable and cost-effective solution. A study last year 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 both in- and out-of-state renewable gas resources is up to 2 to 3 times more cost effective in reducing greenhouse gases than an electrification scenario. A 2016 study by the University of California, Davis calculated that California has the potential to produce approximately 90.6 billion cubic feet (bcf) per year of renewable natural gas from dairy, landfill, municipal solid waste, and wastewater treatment plant sources alone. This would be enough to meet the annual natural gas needs of around 2.3 million California homes. In addition, out-of-state sources of renewable natural gas are significant and growing. According to the U.S. Department of Energy the U.S. currently produces 1 trillion cubic feet of renewable natural gas every year, and that number is expected to increase to 10 trillion by 2030. Using even a portion of this renewable fuel would meet the needs of millions more Californians. Renewable Natural Gas Program DetailsIf approved, the renewable natural gas program will be available to nearly all SoCalGas core residential and small commercial and industrial customers. Residential customers will be able to have some of their natural gas delivered from renewable sources, choosing from several set dollar amounts to be provided from renewable natural gas supplies. Commercial customers will be able to have all of their natural gas come from renewable sources or select from a series of set dollar amounts or a percentage of their total gas use. 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 and cannot be separated or filtered by source, just like solar and wind electrons on the electric grid. Every additional therm of this renewable fuel that is purchased means one less therm of traditional natural gas is used. Renewable fuel will be displacing fossil gas and helping build the market for more renewable natural gas. SoCalGas hopes to offer the program beginning in 2020 if regulators at the California Public Utilities Commission approve the proposal. Customers who support being able to purchase a portion of their gas from renewable sources and increase their use of green energy should express their support by contacting the Public Utilities Commission Public Advisor at 1 (877) 849-8390 or public.advisor@cpuc.ca.gov. Increasing Demand will Encourage Further Production of More Renewable Fuel California has the potential to produce more than 90 billion cubic feet of renewable natural gas per year from waste sources, enough to meet the natural gas needs of around 2.3 million California homes. SoCalGas has been bringing renewable natural gas into its pipeline system from out of state since about 2013, in large part because using the renewable fuel in vehicles is supported by the state's Low Carbon Fuel Standard, a program designed to reduce greenhouse gas and air pollution from the transportation sector. In 2018, renewable natural gas produced in California began flowing into SoCalGas pipelines for the first time, from an anaerobic digester built and operated by waste hauling company CR&R. CR&R's facility produces renewable natural gas using organic waste collected in Southern California cities' green waste bins. In February 2019, SoCalGas announced that renewable natural gas was flowing into its system from a dairy digester pipeline cluster run by biofuel producer Calgren. The Calgren facility will eventually collect biogas from anaerobic digesters at 12 Tulare County dairies. Those digesters will capture and process manure from more than 75,000 cows, preventing about 130,000 tons of greenhouse gas from entering the atmosphere each year, the equivalent of taking more than 25,000 passenger cars off the road for a year. Today, there are already 24 California dairy methane capture projects either operating or in development, and experts estimate there could be as many as 120 projects funded and operating in next five years. In addition, as the state seeks to divert organic waste from landfills and capture emissions from wastewater treatment plants, more and more renewable natural gas will become available. Consumer polls support the increased production and use of renewable natural gas. Research shows nine out of 10 California families use natural gas in their homes. A recent California Building Industry Association survey of California voters found that only 10 percent of voters would consider purchasing an all-electric home and 80 percent oppose laws that would take away their natural gas appliances. Renewable natural gas is complementary to other renewable energy sources like solar and wind, since it is available day and night to make the entire energy system cleaner and more reliable. This renewable fuel has already begun to clean the air and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in California's transportation sector, which accounts for more than 80 percent of smog forming emissions and about 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the state. Proposal Has Broad SupportMany organizations and businesses have voiced support for the renewable natural gas proposal, including environmental groups, businesses, and universities. A list of supporters may be found here. "The University of California supports the SoCalGas proposal to offer customers renewable natural gas," said David Phillips, associate vice president of energy and sustainability of the University of California's Office of the President. "UC is committed to carbon neutrality and has been working to develop our own renewable gas supply projects. New programs like this proposal are necessary to create a robust and cost-effective commercial market for renewable natural gas in California." "Renewable natural gas (RNG) is an important alternate fuel with significant greenhouse gas and air quality benefits," said Arun Raju, director of the Center for Renewable Natural Gas at the University of California, Riverside. "RNG, like most other renewable fuels, is more expensive than fossil fuels due to a number of factors. With proper policy support, the costs will very likely decrease over time as more projects are developed and technology keeps maturing. SoCalGas' proposed initiative is an excellent way to support RNG, and similar approaches have worked for other renewable resources and in other jurisdictions. This approach also gives individuals and organizations a unique opportunity to support a clean, renewable fuel and combat climate change." "This is smart policy and is wholly aligned with California's goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2045," said Jonathan Parfrey, executive director of Climate Resolve, a Los Angeles-based environmental non-profit. "SoCalGas' program is a practical way for households, businesses, even entire cities, to achieve carbon neutral goals." "Renewable natural gas is the lowest-carbon fuel available -- in fact the California Air Resources Board verified it is net-carbon negative over its lifecycle, when food waste or manure are the feedstocks," said Matt Tomich, president of the non-profit Energy Vision. "RNG is 'pipeline grade' so it can reach its markets through the same pipelines used to transport fossil gas. It's one of the most powerful decarbonization tools there is, and California's and SoCalGas's leadership in scaling it up has important national impact."

This marks the ninth consecutive year that the company has raised its common dividend. OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS In 2018, Sempra Energy achieved several significant milestones in advancing its mission to become North America's premier energy infrastructure company. Earlier this month, Sempra Energy announced an agreement to complete the divestiture of its U.S. renewables business by selling its remaining wind operating and development assets. When complete, the sales of the company's U.S. solar, wind and non-utility natural gas storage assets are expected to generate approximately $2.5 billion in cash proceeds for Sempra Energy. The proceeds will be used to support Sempra Energy's focus on North America and strengthen its balance sheet. Additionally, in January, Sempra Energy announced that it would sell its equity interests in its South American businesses, including Luz del Sur S.A.A. in Peru and Chilquinta Energía S.A. in Chile. While Luz del Sur and Chilquinta Energía have made significant contributions to Sempra Energy over the past two decades and offer exciting future growth opportunities, the planned sale supports Sempra Energy's refocusing of capital investments in North America. Sempra Energy will launch the formal sale process in March. Sempra Energy also announced several LNG agreements with commercial parties in the fourth quarter 2018 with respect to the company's LNG facilities in development: Port Arthur LNG in Jefferson County, Texas; Cameron LNG Phase 2 in Hackberry, La.; and Energía Costa Azul LNG Phases 1 and 2 in Mexico. The agreements support Sempra Energy's goal to become one of the largest U.S. exporters of LNG, targeting the export of 45 million tons per annum to global markets. In November 2018, Cameron LNG initiated the commissioning process for the first of three liquefaction trains of Phase 1 of the project. Sempra Energy expects Cameron LNG to begin generating earnings in mid-2019. Last month, Sempra Energy was added to the Dow Jones Utility Average, a 15-stock, price-weighted index measuring the performance of some of the largest U.S. companies within the utilities sector. Stocks are selected for the index based on reputation, demonstration of sustained financial growth and interest to a large number of investors. Additionally, in 2018, the Wall Street Journal ranked Sempra Energy as the top company in the utility sector in the Journal's first "Management Top 250" list. 2019 EARNINGS GUIDANCE Sempra Energy today affirmed its 2019 adjusted earnings-per-share guidance range of $5.70 to $6.30.

SEMPRA ENERGY Table A (Continued) RECONCILIATION OF SEMPRA ENERGY ADJUSTED EARNINGS TO SEMPRA ENERGY GAAP EARNINGS (LOSSES) (Unaudited) Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Common Share (Adjusted EPS) exclude items (after the effects of income taxes and, if applicable, noncontrolling interests) in 2018 and 2017 as follows: Three months ended December 31, 2018: $367 million gain on the sale of certain Sempra Renewables assets $126 million reduction in the impairment of certain non-utility natural gas storage assets in the southeast U.S. at Sempra LNG & Midstream $(60) million income tax expense in 2018 to adjust the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) provisional amounts recorded in 2017 Three months ended December 31, 2017: $(870) million income tax expense from the impact of the TCJA $(20) million associated with Aliso Canyon litigation reserves at Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) Year ended December 31, 2018: $367 million gain on the sale of certain Sempra Renewables assets $(65) million impairment of RBS Sempra Commodities LLP (RBS Sempra Commodities) equity method investment at Parent and Other $(629) million impairment of certain non-utility natural gas storage assets at Sempra LNG & Midstream $(145) million other-than-temporary impairment of certain U.S. wind equity method investments at Sempra Renewables $(22) million impacts associated with Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility litigation at SoCalGas $(85) million income tax expense in 2018 to adjust the TCJA provisional amounts recorded in 2017 Year ended December 31, 2017: $(870) million income tax expense from the impact of the TCJA $(208) million write-off of wildfire regulatory asset at San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) $(47) million impairment of Termoeléctrica de Mexicali (TdM) assets that were held for sale until June 2018 at Sempra Mexico $(20) million associated with Aliso Canyon litigation reserves at SoCalGas $5 million deferred income tax benefit on the TdM assets that were held for sale $28 million of recoveries related to 2016 permanent releases of pipeline capacity at Sempra LNG & Midstream Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings, Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding – Adjusted and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures (GAAP represents accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America). Because of the significance and/or nature of the excluded items, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a meaningful comparison of the performance of Sempra Energy's business operations from 2018 to 2017 and to future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The table below reconciles for historical periods these non-GAAP financial measures to Sempra Energy GAAP Earnings (Losses), Weighted-Average Shares Outstanding – GAAP and GAAP Diluted Earnings (Losses) Per Common Share (GAAP EPS), which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Income taxes associated with TdM were calculated based on the applicable statutory tax rate, including translation from historic to current exchange rates. An income tax benefit of $12 million associated with the 2017 TdM impairment has been fully reserved. (2) For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the assumed conversion of the mandatory convertible preferred stock is dilutive for GAAP earnings, but antidilutive for the lower adjusted earnings. (3) Due to the dilutive effect of the mandatory convertible preferred stock, the numerator used to calculate GAAP EPS includes an add-back of $36 million of mandatory convertible preferred stock dividends declared in that quarter. (4) Due to the antidilutive effect of the mandatory convertible preferred stock, the denominator used to calculate Adjusted EPS excludes 20,199 shares of mandatory convertible preferred stock. (5) The denominator used to calculate Adjusted EPS includes 823 shares of potentially dilutive securities, which were excluded from GAAP EPS because to include them would have decreased the loss per share. SEMPRA ENERGY Table A (Continued) SEMPRA ENERGY 2019 ADJUSTED EPS GUIDANCE RANGE (Unaudited) Sempra Energy 2019 Adjusted EPS Guidance Range of $5.70 to $6.30 excludes: an approximate $35 million after-tax (1) (approximately $50 million pretax) gain, plus working capital and other customary adjustments, related to our agreement to sell the remaining U.S. renewables assets and investments to American Electric Power any potential gain from the planned sale, as well as income tax expense related to an expected change in our indefinite reinvestment assertions, resulting from our decision in January 2019 to hold our South American businesses for sale Sempra Energy 2019 Adjusted EPS Guidance is a non-GAAP financial measure. Because of the significance and nature of the excluded items, management believes that this non-GAAP measure provides better clarity into the ongoing results of the business and the comparability of such results to prior and future periods. Sempra Energy 2019 Adjusted EPS Guidance should not be considered an alternative to GAAP EPS Guidance. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Because the sale process for the planned divestiture of our South American businesses was only recently initiated in January 2019, the terms and structure of any potential sale transaction or transactions are unknown, including terms that would impact income tax expense resulting from an expected change in our assertion regarding indefinite reinvestment of foreign undistributed earnings, including the timing and amounts of repatriation of such earnings. (1) Income taxes were estimated based on statutory tax rates.
