SoCalGas Advances Towards Zero-Emissions Fleet with Delivery of New Ford Electric Vans
LOS ANGELES, June 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) added Ford E-Transit electric vans into its fleet, as part of its ASPIRE 2045 sustainability strategy, working towards its goals to replace 50% of its over-the-road fleet 1 with alternative fuel vehicles (AFV) by 2025 and operate a 100% zero-emissions fleet by 2035. The introduction of 21 new Ford E-Transit vans represents a milestone for SoCalGas as the first battery electric vehicles to be integrated into the company's fleet. "The addition of Ford's E-Transit electric vans to our fleet represents a significant achievement in SoCalGas' advancement toward a zero-emissions future," said Sandra Hrna, vice president, supply chain and operations support at SoCalGas. "By investing in technologies powered by electricity, hydrogen or renewable natural gas, we are advancing our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and accelerate decarbonization in a sector that has historically been a major contributor to GHG emissions." At the close of 2023, 38% of SoCalGas' over-the-road fleet was powered by low- and zero-emissions energy sources. SoCalGas' current over-the-road fleet vehicles include 700 RNG Ford F-250 service pickup trucks and 50 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (HFCEV). "I applaud SoCalGas on its efforts to accelerate the transition of its truck fleet to zero-emissions," said Wayne Nastri, South Coast Air Quality Management District executive officer. "These trucks reduce smog-forming emissions making it easier for us to breathe and they also reduce greenhouse gas emissions thereby helping our climate." SoCalGas aims to advance sustainable transportation solutions and actively collaborates with automakers to develop innovative low- and zero-emissions options to help support California's climate goals. SoCalGas and Ford are developing a hydrogen fuel cell F-550 prototype with the Department of Energy (DOE) and, in 2025, plan to demonstrate its performance in real world conditions in an effort to help reduce GHG and nitrogen oxide emissions in medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. Ford's light-duty electric vans have a range of up to 126 miles and are being used by employees to service SoCalGas' industrial and commercial customers. "E-Transit is a great solution for companies to reduce carbon emissions while lowering fleet costs associated with fuel and maintenance," said Ted Haladyna, Ford Pro director of product marketing. "When low- and zero-emission vehicles are supported with the right infrastructure it can be a win-win for business and the planet. Testing new technology with customers early in the development process, like we are doing with SoCalGas on F-550 Super Duty Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Truck, is another example of how our work together will bring the alternative fuel industry forward." To support a zero-emissions fleet, SoCalGas is installing EV chargers throughout its territory powered almost exclusively by renewable electricity under Southern California Edison's Green Rate program. SoCalGas recently added EV charging stations at its Compton, Brea and Newberry Spring locations, with plans to extend the network to 1,500 chargers across 65 facility sites over the next two years. SoCalGas is a leader among utilities in its sustainability goals and was among the first and largest natural gas distribution utilities in the United States to announce its aim to achieve net-zero GHG emissions by 2045. SoCalGas was recognized with the Leading Private Fleet Award at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo in 2022 acknowledging the company's efforts to go above and beyond what is required to achieve sustainability in fleet operations.

SoCalGas Volunteers to Help Sort 1.8 Million Pounds of Food to Help Labor Community Services "Stamp Out Hunger"
LOS ANGELES, June 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) will help Labor Community Services (LCS) by bringing 100 volunteers to help sort over 1.8 million pounds of food donations collected through the 32 nd Annual National Association of Letter Carriers' (NALC) "Stamp Out Hunger" Food Drive. The company will also present a $25,000 donation to LCS for groceries, which could aid approximately 1,000 families facing food insecurity for up to five days. "Food banks receive the most food donations around Thanksgiving and Christmas. The NALC 'Stamp Out Hunger' food drive was initially started in May to ensure that local food banks have enough stock to meet demand in the spring and summer months when school breakfast and lunch programs are typically unavailable," said Yvonne Wheeler, president of the LA County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO. "The foundation of the labor movement is solidarity, and it is thanks to NALC Branch 24, Labor Community Services, SoCalGas, and all the volunteers, that 1.8 million pounds of food will now assist our most vulnerable communities across LA County struggling with food insecurity during this poverty crisis." "In the richest nation, there isn't any reason why any family should go to bed hungry tonight. That is why support from community partners like SoCalGas is critical in the fight against food insecurity," said Norma López, executive director of LCS. "As SoCalGas' staff and volunteers help us sort the 1.8 million pounds of food we collected during this year's Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive, we are reminded of the impact that we can make together if we stick with one another so we each have the ability to make a difference in the lives of those who need help to get through the toughest of times." "Labor Community Services and the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor AFL-CIO are dedicated to helping families in need, and SoCalGas is honored to support their efforts to Stamp Out Hunger," said Maryam Brown, president of SoCalGas. "Combatting hunger requires a united community-wide response and we are proud to play a part in that." In Southern California, the "Stamp Out Hunger" Food Drive is conducted through the NALC Branch 24 in collaboration with LCS, and various labor unions affiliated to the AFL-CIO. This year's "Stamp Out Hunger" food drive collaborated with 45 post offices and 51 community partners. For over six decades, LCS, (in collaboration with the AFL-CIO) has been assisting unemployed and underemployed union families in Los Angeles County with groceries during the year via pantries, the "Stamp Out Hunger" Food Drive and holiday toy and food distribution. SoCalGas has supported LCS since 2007, and, in 2023, SoCalGas volunteers sorted 74,000 pounds of food that were distributed to food banks across Los Angeles County to feed approximately 2,900 families.

Nonprofit Organizations Can Now Apply for Grants of up to $50,000 to Further Climate Solutions through the SoCal Climate Champions Grant Program
SoCalGas will award nonprofit organizations across the utility's service area with grants for projects, programs, and research that encourage and foster clean, safe, and innovative solutions toward a clean energy future. LOS ANGELES, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) announced today that nonprofit organizations can apply for a grant of up to $50,000 from the utility's SoCal Climate Champions Grant program. The program is looking for innovative solutions that help reduce, mitigate, or sequester greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, or organic waste diversion solutions in the SoCalGas service area. Since its inception in 2015, the SoCal Climate Champions Grant program has awarded more than 160 grants totaling near $3 million dollars. "Every community-based organization has an opportunity to contribute to the collective solutions needed to reach a carbon-neutral future," said Jawaad Malik, Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer at SoCalGas. "Together, through the SoCal Climate Champions Grant program, we can turn ideas into action and help empower these organizations working on innovative climate solutions to drive meaningful change." The application window for this year's SoCal Climate Champions grant opened on April 21 and will close on June 21. Applications will go through a multi-phase judging process and grants will be distributed to the awardees in October. Grant recipients will: Receive an award of up to $50,000 to fund new or on-going efforts that align with the Initiative. Gain recognition in a community of accomplished nonprofit leaders from diverse programs. Share their stories through the grant program. Be offered the aid of SoCalGas volunteers. Past awardees include organizations like the Orange County Conservation Corps (OCCC), whose Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) project provides a water management solution for runoff and urban flooding in Orange County. The program also incorporates workforce education and training to provide opportunities for youth in local communities. "This grant helped to enable our corps members to be better equipped to help manage the impact of weather events on our local communities in Orange County," said OCCC's Chief Executive Officer, Katharyn Muniz. "The Green Stormwater Infrastructure project helps the community adapt to a changing climate through resilient management practices like capturing more runoff during prolonged droughts. These practices can also help reduce the effects of urban flooding following heavy rainfall events." Another past awardee, the Cal Poly Pomona Foundation, utilized the grant for their innovative low-cost energy storage system using byproducts of desalination. More than twenty engineering students assisted in developing a lab-scale thermal energy storage system that uses minerals removed during desalination for thermal energy storage. This low-cost and high-efficiency system could help increase the dispatchability of renewable sources and help provide peak load shifting when the grid experiences periods of strain. "Energy storage systems will be key elements of our future power grid in order for it to be run by renewable sources," said Dr. Reza B. Lakeh, project lead and Associate Professor and Graduate Program Coordinator in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Cal Poly Pomona. "At scale, this project has the potential to enhance the availability of clean and sustainable power and water in California." Under the ASPIRE 2045 Sustainability Strategy, SoCalGas plans to invest $50 million into communities the utility serves over five years, working to advance racial and gender diversity in the workplace, and take tangible steps towards a carbon neutral future.

Sempra California Sempra California continues to invest in innovation and infrastructure to help meet the state's clean energy goals. In March, Sempra California joined its peers in filing an application with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to develop a series of projects to demonstrate hydrogen blending in the natural gas system. Hydrogen blending has been identified by California as a key component of its efforts to achieve the state's decarbonization goals. This application is an important step toward development of a statewide standard for hydrogen blending with a view toward accelerating the expansion of a cleaner, more resilient grid. Furthering its track record of helping California lead the nation in electric vehicle adoption, San Diego Gas & Electric Co. recently celebrated the installation of charging infrastructure to provide reliable and accessible charging options for medium- to heavy-duty electric freight trucks crossing the U.S.- Mexico border. Additionally, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recognized Southern California Gas Co. with an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year distinction for exemplary dedication to energy efficiency programs that help customers save money and reduce emissions. Of note, progress also continues with the general rate cases before the CPUC. A proposed decision is anticipated in second-quarter 2024 with a final decision expected before year end. As a result, Sempra California recorded CPUC revenues in first-quarter 2024 based on 2023 authorized levels. Sempra Texas Sempra Texas continues to see broad economic expansion across its service territory with notable growth in residential, commercial and industrial development, including the siting and development of digital infrastructure such as data centers and microchip and semiconductor manufacturing facilities. Yesterday, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (Oncor) filed a system resiliency plan outlining nearly $3 billion of strategic capital investments to be invested over the next three years in system hardening and grid modernization, cyber threat prevention, enhanced vegetation management, wildfire mitigation, new technology and other resiliency measures. These investments build upon the measures already in place and represent Oncor's first proposed plan under the new regulatory framework established by Texas House Bill 2555, which aims to improve reliability and resiliency for customers and improve the timeliness of cost recovery for expenditures in approved plans. In accordance with the referenced law, the Public Utility Commission of Texas may take up to 180 days to review the plan, and if approved, Oncor expects to begin implementing the plan in 2025. At the end of first-quarter 2024, Oncor had 781 active generation and large commercial and industrial transmission point-of-interconnection (POI) requests in queue, representing a 20% increase as compared to the end of first-quarter 2023. In first-quarter 2024, Oncor placed into service 9 major substations and 24 circuit miles of new or upgraded high-voltage transmission lines within the jurisdiction of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. Sempra Infrastructure Sempra Infrastructure's operational excellence and strong project development capabilities continue to drive its strategy of executing on energy infrastructure projects expected to play a crucial role in the energy systems of the future. This includes continued development of liquefied natural gas export facilities, associated pipelines, renewables, carbon capture and energy networks. Construction of Energía Costa Azul LNG Phase 1 and Port Arthur LNG Phase 1 remain on schedule. Energía Costa Azul LNG Phase 1 construction is now over 80% complete and remains on track to commence commercial operations in summer 2025. Additionally, Sempra Infrastructure made a positive final investment decision and began construction of the Cimarrón wind project, the third phase of the Energía Sierra Juarez (ESJ) wind complex. The total project is anticipated to provide approximately 320 megawatts of wind capacity. The Cimarrón project will utilize Sempra Infrastructure's existing cross-border, high-voltage transmission line interconnecting the ESJ wind complex directly into the California Independent System Operator grid to support a 20-year power purchase agreement with Silicon Valley Power in Santa Clara, Calif. Total capital expenditures for the project are estimated at $550 million, and the project is expected to commence generating energy in late 2025. Earnings Guidance Sempra is updating its full-year 2024 GAAP earnings per common share (EPS) guidance range to $4.52 to $4.82 reflecting actual results through the first quarter, affirming its full-year 2024 adjusted EPS guidance range of $4.60 to $4.90, and affirming its full-year 2025 EPS guidance range of $4.90 to $5.25.

SoCalGas Earns ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the Second Consecutive Year
The award is one of the ENERGY STAR program's highest levels of recognition and reflects the utility's efforts to help its customers save money, conserve energy and transition to a net-zero emissions future. LOS ANGELES, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) announced today that the utility was selected by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for the second consecutive year for demonstrating exemplary dedication to energy efficiency and the ENERGY STAR program. SoCalGas was recognized from a network of thousands of ENERGY STAR partners for the utility's focus on providing direct engagement and incentives for ENERGY STAR products to underserved communities. In 2023, SoCalGas helped customers save over $14 million dollars through ENERGY STAR product rebates. SoCalGas' energy efficiency programs are some of the largest in the United States. Over the last five years, they have helped save SoCalGas customers over $241 million in utility bill costs and delivered more than 219 million therms in energy savings. That's enough natural gas usage for approximately 548,000 households a year and reduced greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by over 1.2 million metric tons, the equivalent of removing over 250,000 cars from the road annually. "As part of our ASPIRE 2045 sustainability strategy, we strongly believe that increasing access to affordable and more sustainable energy solutions is vital for an equitable transition to a carbon neutral future," says Don Widjaja, vice president of customer services – field & solutions at SoCalGas. "By reducing energy consumption, our energy efficiency programs help to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy bills for households and businesses, and improve the environment and quality of life in the communities we serve." In 2023, SoCalGas helped customers save over $14 million dollars through ENERGY STAR product rebates. The SoCalGas residential rebate program supported the purchase of approximately 16,500 ENERGY STAR natural gas tankless water heaters, 15,500 ENERGY STAR smart thermostats and 10,600 natural gas dryers. "President Biden's Investing in America agenda creates unprecedented opportunity to build a clean energy economy, and private sector partners through programs like ENERGY STAR are leading the way," said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. "I congratulate this year's ENERGY STAR award winners for their innovation and leadership, in delivering cost-effective energy efficient solutions that create jobs, address climate change, and contribute to a healthier environment for all." Energy efficiency is also helping to advance SoCalGas' ASPIRE 2045 aim to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in its operations and delivery of energy by 2045. For more ways to lower energy cost and usage throughout the year, the SoCalGas Marketplace offers affordable energy-efficiency financing, energy efficiency rebates, and assistance programs. SoCalGas was the only utility in California recognized at the ENERGY STAR Awards Celebration in Washington D.C on April 25. For a complete list of the 2024 winners and more information about ENERGY STAR's awards program, visit energystar.gov/awardwinners. About SoCalGas   Headquartered in Los Angeles, SoCalGas is the largest gas distribution utility in the United States. SoCalGas aims to deliver affordable, reliable, and increasingly renewable gas service to approximately 21 million consumers across approximately 24,000 square miles of Central and Southern California. We believe gas delivered through our pipelines plays a key role in California's clean energy transition by supporting energy system reliability and resiliency and enabling integration of renewable resources.   SoCalGas' mission is to build the cleanest, safest and most innovative energy infrastructure company in America. In support of that mission, SoCalGas aspires to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in its operations and delivery of energy by 2045 and to replace 20 percent of its traditional natural gas supply to core customers with renewable natural gas (RNG) by 2030. RNG can be made from waste created by landfills and wastewater treatment plants. SoCalGas is also investing in its gas delivery infrastructure while working to keep bills affordable for customers.
