SAN DIEGO, Dec. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) today announced that the company's Chairman and CEO Jeffrey W. Martin was named Chief Executive of the Year by S&P Global Platts at its 22 nd Annual Global Energy Awards event. Additionally, Sempra Energy received the Deal of the Year award for the sale of its South American businesses completed in April and June 2020.   "These awards are a tremendous honor and really a credit to the strength and resiliency of our company and 18,000 employees who continued to execute on our strategic priorities despite the challenges we all faced this year," said Martin. "As our industry adapts to a unique set of challenges, we see an opportunity to distinguish our company by serving the changing needs and expectations of customers. That is why at Sempra we are focused on continuing to build a high-performing culture and investing in smart, new infrastructure right here in North America to provide greater access to cleaner forms of energy." At its 22 nd Annual Global Energy Awards, S&P Global Platts highlighted corporate and individual leadership and superior performance in 21 categories spanning the entire global energy complex. A record 300 nominations from 43 countries were received this year. This year's awards reflect the ongoing evolution of the industry and highlight technology, innovation and leadership, as well as an accelerated focus on the energy transition to a lower-carbon environment. Sempra was a finalist in six categories. Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Martin Awarded for Visionary Leadership Martin was named Chief Executive of the Year in part due to his strategic vision, strong leadership and sharp focus on advancing a purpose-driven culture at Sempra Energy. While presenting the award for Chief Executive of the Year, Martin Fraenkel, president of S&P Global Platts, said that this recognition shows "demonstrated clarity of vision, judgment and motivational skills that transform and empower organizations. Judges look for a leader like Jeff who is highly respected both by peers and competitors, admired and followed by employees, trusted by investors and welcomed by the community." When Martin was appointed chairman and CEO of Sempra Energy in 2018, he laid out a strategic plan to realign the company's business activities around a bold new mission to be North America's premier energy infrastructure company. To advance that mission, Martin and his team are credited with divesting non-core assets over the last two years, while recycling sales proceeds into new acquisitions and infrastructure investments in key growth markets – California, Texas, Mexico and LNG exports. Sempra Energy is committed to advancing a leadership position in the global energy transition and meeting demand from customers who are seeking cleaner and more sustainable forms of energy. Martin discussed this approach in his keynote speech at the 2019 Platts Global Energy Outlook Forum in New York City: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1ru47wfadA.

SoCalGas Announces Additional Donation to the Gas Assistance Fund to Help Customers in Need

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As families are staying safe at home, Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) is encouraging its eligible customers to apply for the Gas Assistance Fund, a program that helps income-qualified customers pay their natural gas bill with a one-time grant of up to $200 per household. So far this year, SoCalGas' Gas Assistance Fund received over $370,000 and benefitted more than 3,400 households, including elderly, people with disabilities, and low-income families in need. In response to the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, SoCalGas has donated an additional $200,000 to the fund to support hundreds more people this year. Since 1983, SoCalGas shareholders, customers, and employees have contributed over $23 million to the Gas Assistance Fund, helping more than 225,000 individuals and families. "Natural gas is one of the most affordable utility bills, but in a year unlike any other, we recognize that many of our customers need an extra hand," said Gillian Wright, senior vice president and chief customer officer for SoCalGas. "With COVID-19 cases increasing once again, our customers are spending more time at home, but they can rest assured that the natural gas service they use to cook meals and stay warm will be reliable. We are grateful to our shareholders, customers and employees that have contributed to the fund this year, which has allowed us to support many families in need." The Fund, administered by the United Way of Greater Los Angeles (United Way), helps low-income individuals and families in need pay their natural gas bills so they can cook, have hot water and heat their homes. United Way partners with nearly 80 nonprofit organizations throughout SoCalGas' service territory to distribute the grants. Those who wish to apply for a grant may do so by filling out an application with a participating United Way partner agency. The Gas Assistance Fund is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and eligible customers are able to apply until the funds are depleted. For a list of partner agencies, income guidelines, and additional program information, click here. "We'll all be safer at home through this dangerous pandemic winter, but for our region's most vulnerable families, keeping warm can be a strain on a tight budget," said Elise Buik, President and CEO of United Way of Greater Los Angeles. "We are proud to partner with SoCalGas to help our neighbors with utility bills and give them one less financial burden this holiday season." In light of the economic hardship facing many customers, SoCalGas has suspended service disconnections for our residential and small business customers. That means customers will not have their natural gas service turned off if they are unable to pay. In addition to the Gas Assistance Fund, SoCalGas offers other programs and services that can help customers manage home energy costs. Click here to learn more.

Sempra Energy And Total Extend Strategic Alliance With Signing Of Equity Agreement For Phase 1 Of Energía Costa Azul LNG Project

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra LNG and Infraestructura Energética Nova, S.A.B. de C.V. (IEnova) today announced that their joint venture, ECA Liquefaction (ECA LNG), has signed an equity investment agreement to finalize Total's participation in the ECA LNG Phase 1 liquefied natural gas (LNG) export project, to be located in Baja California, Mexico. Under the terms of the agreement, Total has acquired a 16.6% equity stake in ECA LNG Phase 1, while Sempra LNG and IEnova will each retain 41.7% ownership. Earlier this year, Total signed a 20-year sale and purchase agreement for approximately 1.7 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of LNG from the export facility. "We are excited to extend our strategic alliance with Total, a global LNG leader, as we commence construction on our landmark ECA LNG Phase 1 project and help expand Total's North America LNG infrastructure portfolio," said Justin Bird, CEO of Sempra LNG. "This agreement is the next step in advancing our long-term strategy to provide the world with access to diverse U.S. natural gas basins that can offer reliable and more secure forms of energy from both the Pacific and Gulf Coasts." Last month, ECA LNG announced it reached a final investment decision (FID) for the construction and operation of the approximately $2 billion facility, making it the only LNG-export project in the world to have reached FID in 2020 to date. ECA LNG Phase 1, the first Pacific Coast LNG export project with direct access to abundant natural gas supplies in Texas and the Western U.S., will be a single-train liquefaction facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 Mtpa of LNG and an initial offtake capacity of approximately 2.5 Mtpa of LNG. ECA LNG Phase 1 will be built at IEnova's existing Energía Costa Azul LNG regasification facility. The equity acquisition by Total does not include an equity interest in the regasification facility. As previously announced, ECA LNG Phase 1 also has a definitive 20-year sale and purchase agreement with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for the purchase of approximately 0.8 Mtpa of LNG from Phase 1 of the project. "This important equity investment by Total is evidence of international confidence in our energy infrastructure projects as well as the future of investment in Mexico," said Tania Ortiz, CEO of IEnova. "We will remain focused on our mission to foster the country's economic development and well-being of the communities where we operate." Sempra LNG and Total are already partners in Cameron LNG, a 12 Mtpa LNG export facility operating in Hackberry, Louisiana. Phase 1 of Cameron LNG reached full commercial operations in August of this year. Sempra LNG is developing additional LNG export facilities on the Gulf Coast and Pacific Coast of North America, including Cameron LNG Phase 2 and ECA LNG Phase 2. The successful development and ultimate construction of these projects as well as Sempra Energy's other LNG export projects are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and there can be no assurance that these projects will be completed. Last week, Sempra Energy announced a series of integrated transactions that would combine Sempra LNG and IEnova under a new business platform, Sempra Infrastructure Partners, subject to obtaining all required regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary conditions. About Sempra LNGSempra LNG's mission is being North America's premier LNG infrastructure company by providing sustainable, safe and reliable access to U.S. natural gas for global markets.

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) (Company) today announced a series of integrated transactions intended to simplify its energy infrastructure investments under one platform – creating scale, unlocking portfolio synergies and better positioning the business for growth. To accomplish this, the Company announced its intention to launch a stock-for-stock exchange offer for the publicly traded shares of IEnova ( Infraestructura Energética Nova, S.A.B de C.V.), with the Sempra Energy exchange shares to be listed on the Mexican stock exchange ( Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B de C.V.) (BMV). In addition, the Company announced plans for the formation of a new business platform, Sempra Infrastructure Partners, combining the strengths of Sempra LNG, a leading developer of liquefied natural gas (LNG) export infrastructure, and IEnova, one of the largest private energy companies in Mexico and a leading developer and operator of pipeline, storage and renewables infrastructure. Lastly, the Company intends to sell a non-controlling interest in Sempra Infrastructure Partners in order to fund growth and highlight the underlying value of the platform. Subject to obtaining all required regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary conditions, the Company expects to complete these transactions in the first quarter of 2021. "We are excited about today's announcement. In large measure, it is because we believe Sempra Infrastructure Partners is well positioned to be a leader in the global energy transition," said Jeffrey W. Martin, chairman and CEO of Sempra Energy. "By focusing on the critical need for new energy infrastructure right here in North America, both Sempra LNG and IEnova have created a significant pipeline of development projects that are expected to provide differentiated growth for decades to come. More importantly, this will provide an improved platform for innovation and potential new investments in renewables, hydrogen, energy storage and carbon sequestration." "We are especially excited to be listing Sempra Energy shares on the BMV," added Martin. "Many of Mexico's most successful companies are listed there, and our plans to list our shares locally is a positive affirmation of our commitment to Mexico and desire to continue investing in the country and improving economic prosperity. As part of Sempra Energy's family of companies, IEnova has delivered critical energy infrastructure to the country of Mexico for over two decades, supporting economic growth and the health and wellbeing of millions. With the proposed transactions announced today, we are proud to reaffirm our belief in Mexico's bright future and look forward to helping both Mexico and the U.S. unlock greater opportunities for continued economic collaboration, expansion and prosperity."

In Support of 'Giving Tuesday,' SoCalGas Donates an Additional $100,000 to Help Address Food Insecurity in Los Angeles County

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- In support of "Giving Tuesday" and with the understanding that great need continues to exist in Los Angeles County, Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced $100,000 in donations to support local food distribution events and holiday toy drives put on by three Los Angeles County non-profit organizations. Since March, SoCalGas has donated more than $3.2 million to nonprofit organizations for COVID-19 recovery efforts, including supporting the region's workforce, feeding the hungry, providing bill assistance to customers, and more. The company has provided COVID-19 relief grants to more than 200 nonprofit organizations throughout its service territory during this time. Alma Family Services, Meet Each Need with Dignity (MEND) and Mid Valley Family YMCA will each receive a share of the $100,000 donation announced today. "Underserved neighborhoods in the First District, which are predominately communities of color, have been some of the hardest hit by COVID-19, and also those suffering the most from sustained food insecurity," said Los Angeles County Supervisor Hilda L. Solis. "Since the start of the pandemic, the County of Los Angeles has remained committed to helping families put food on the table through nutrition programs and free meal distributions. Thanks to SoCalGas' generous donation, and Alma Family Services' consistent presence in the community, we will continue to make sure anyone who needs sustenance will receive fresh produce and protein because no one should go to bed hungry." "For years, MEND has been a lifeline for families in the San Fernando Valley, helping them make ends meet through a myriad of services, and especially through its food bank program," said 7th District Councilmember Monica Rodriguez. "Thanks to their generous donation, SoCalGas is providing a critical support to MEND and the families that rely on their weekly food pantry during the toughest economic hardship our community has experienced in recent history." "This Giving Tuesday is important more than ever, especially around the holidays, a time of need for many, and this year is no exception," said Andy Carrasco, vice president of communications, local government and community affairs for SoCalGas. "I know personally that these contributions will help ease some of the worries our neighbors are experiencing in this unprecedented time." "Alma deeply appreciates this generous donation from SoCalGas which will allow us to provide resources for children and their families. During the Holiday Season, families struggling with multiple stressors cannot afford to dedicate any resources outside of their basic needs," said Lourdes Caracoza, president and CEO of Alma Family Services. "Many children in our community would not have the opportunity to celebrate Hope & Solidarity during the Holiday Season without the partnership between caring CBOs and Donors such as Alma and SoCalGas as well as the collaborative work with elected officials. For the past four years we had the opportunity to work with Los Angeles County 1 st District Supervisor Hilda Solis to offer tangible resources for disadvantaged children. This donation has come at a critical time in an unprecedented year in which children and their families' needs have been exacerbated by the pandemic. Community engagement initiatives such as these have the potential to strengthen protective factors for children during their formative years as it demonstrates the caring and investment of their community in their emotional well-being." "It has been such a hard year… harder than any of us imagined back in March – high unemployment, business closures, and social isolation. Not only that, our region in the northeast San Fernando Valley is the hardest hit by COVID-19 infections," said Janet Marinaccio, president of MEND. "Today is Giving Tuesday, a day when the world comes together to provide hope for the most vulnerable. Receiving such a generous gift from Southern California Gas Company on this day means so much to us. It not only is doubled because of a challenge match we received, but also provides incredible relief for thousands of people who line up at MEND every week in need of food. This year has been especially challenging because the food supply chain is overloaded. We have also seen a drastic drop in donated goods because of cancelled food drives. For the first time, MEND has had to purchase volumes of food to meet the demand. We are truly grateful for the partnership of SoCalGas." "Since the beginning of this pandemic the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles has continued to serve the needs of the community by providing meals to children and families, establishing digital hubs for internet access to close the digital divide as well as providing emergency childcare for children of first responders and other essential workers," said Lionnel Zaragoza, Senior Branch Executive of the Mid Valley YMCA in Van Nuys. "The Mid Valley Family YMCA is honored to have been selected to receive this gift to support our COVID-19 relief efforts. We could not do this work without the support of our sponsors and are grateful to SoCalGas for their generous continued support." Alma Family Services provides a comprehensive range of multilingual community-based services for families including those with special needs. The organization plans to use the SoCalGas donation to help fund food and holiday toy distribution events in East Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley. MEND has provided services in Los Angeles County for nearly 50 years, including the operation of a food bank, homeless care services and a clothing center. Today's "Giving Tuesday" donation will be used to address food insecurity in the community. The Mid Valley Family YMCA plans to use this donation for the organization's food distribution activities.

SoCalGas Partners with Southeast Community Development Corporation to Bridge the Digital Divide in South Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) today announced a partnership with the Southeast Community Development Corporation (SCDC) to help bridge the digital divide in South Los Angeles. A donation from SoCalGas to the nonprofit will provide Chromebooks, noise-canceling headphones, internet hotspots, and access to one-on-one tutoring to 100 students from various schools. Thus far this academic school year, as remote learning became the norm in many school districts, SoCalGas has partnered with five nonprofit community organizations to help bridge the digital divide. "The SoCalGas tutoring program is critical in the quest to providing the needed academic support to our most vulnerable students," said Denise Diaz, South Gate City Council Member. "Higher-income families are understandably providing their students learning pods and private tutoring to meet their needs. Our students' success is dependent on our community coming together to make available the resources necessary to achieve educational equity. I am inspired by the generous contribution of community partners such as SoCalGas who are helping us achieve this goal." "The customized online tutoring program will have lasting positive effects on our elementary school students who had already been struggling academically but now face many more barriers," said Emma Hernandez, executive director at SCDC. "We are thankful to have such generous partners like SoCalGas who have made this program possible." "Remote learning has been a challenge for many students this past year, particularly those from low-income families without the necessary resources and connectivity that help drive success," said Andy Carrasco, vice president of communications, local government, and community affairs at SoCalGas and SCDC board president. "We are proud of partnerships with organizations like the SCDC that are helping to overcome these disadvantages and help prevent students from getting left behind." In addition to providing educational resources to students, this initiative will also support eight California State University Dominguez Hills students complete their teaching credential requirements by participating in one-on-one tutoring sessions. Each tutor will provide two hours of tutoring per day, four days a week for a 26-week period. "We feel fortunate to have these incredibly talented tutors who are passionate about teaching join our team," said Mariana Rios, credentialed multisubject teacher. "They come to us with first-hand knowledge of what's is like to experience the social injustice of the digital divide and they are excited to help close that gap." The SCDC was created on the belief that community problems must be solved by the community itself and is committed to utilizing resources within the community. Through its 18-year partnership with SoCalGas, the nonprofit has helped thousands of underserved students achieve academic success through various programs. SoCalGas' commitment to the communities it serves goes beyond providing customers with affordable, safe and reliable natural gas service. Since March, SoCalGas has donated more than $2.74 million to nonprofit organizations for COVID-19 recovery efforts, which include providing educational resources to students, supporting the region's workforce, feeding the hungry, providing bill assistance to customers, and more.

SoCalGas and SDG&E Announce Groundbreaking Hydrogen Blending Demonstration Program to Help Reduce Carbon Emissions

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of their commitment to support California's climate goals and their mission to become the cleanest, safest and most innovative energy companies in America, Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) today announced the creation of a Hydrogen Blending Demonstration Program. This program would be the first in California and among the first in the nation. Blending hydrogen with natural gas is part of a multi-pronged strategy both utilities – subsidiaries of Sempra Energy – are undertaking to decarbonize their natural gas grid. The vision is to leverage surplus renewable electricity generated in the middle of the day to produce green hydrogen, which then can be injected into the natural gas grid for storage and use. Power-to-gas technology is being developed to do just that. SoCalGas, in partnership with the National Fuel Cell Research Center, and University of California Irvine, is leading the way in developing this technology, launching the first power-to-gas demonstration project in the United States in 2015. Hydrogen blending is another important milestone for providing the clean fuel needed to achieve California's climate goals while maintaining an affordable, resilient and reliable energy system. When adopted by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), the demonstration program will provide an understanding of how to safely incorporate hydrogen, a zero-emission fuel, into the gas grid. This is the first step toward the establishment of a statewide hydrogen injection standard. "Our California-based utility businesses are helping build California's 21st century energy system through deliberate investments in hydrogen, renewable natural gas, fuel cells, and carbon capture and storage," said Kevin Sagara, group president for Sempra Energy and chairman of SoCalGas and San Diego Gas & Electric. "This hydrogen blending program is a key milestone in our efforts to decarbonize our energy system, while delivering affordable and reliable energy to 22 million California customers." "Green hydrogen is a game-changer, not only for our power and energy needs, but also for our industrial and transportation sectors," said Sen. Nancy Skinner (D- Berkeley). "And green hydrogen can support existing, good-paying jobs as our state and communities take steps to transition to a zero-carbon economy." "Today's announcement is an exciting development for California's emerging renewable hydrogen market," said Bill Zobel, Executive Director of the California Hydrogen Business Council. "The Hydrogen Blending Demonstration Program will help the public understand that renewable hydrogen is important and a valuable tool for our carbon neutral future." SoCalGas and SDG&E are planning multiple hydrogen blending projects throughout their respective service territories. The first proposed project will blend hydrogen into an isolated section of primarily polyethylene (PE) plastic distribution system in SoCalGas' service territory. The initial hydrogen blend level is planned at 1% and may increase to as much as an industry-leading 20%. SoCalGas expects to choose the location of the initial project in early 2021. Subsequent projects are scheduled in SDG&E's service territory and will build upon the knowledge learned in the first demonstration. This includes blending hydrogen into an isolated section of mixed plastic and steel natural gas distribution system, and an isolated steel pipeline demonstration. In addition to these hydrogen blending projects, SDG&E announced in October that it intends to pilot two hydrogen projects by 2022 as part its comprehensive sustainability strategy to advance carbon neutrality. These two projects would use a combination of technologies such as renewable resources, electrolysis and fuel cells to demonstrate increased system resiliency, long-duration storage, power-to-gas hydrogen fuel blending, and vehicle hydrogen fueling, among other applications. SoCalGas is helping to build California's 21 st century energy system with investments in hydrogen, renewable natural gas, fuel cells and carbon capture and storage. These innovations will help the utility decarbonize its pipeline system. Last year, SoCalGas set a goal to deliver 5% renewable natural gas (RNG), produced from organic waste, to its core customers by 2022 and 20% by 2030. SoCalGas and SDG&E are also seeking CPUC approval of a program that will offer customers the option to purchase RNG as part of their natural gas service. The program is set to be voted on by the CPUC in December. The Hydrogen Blending Demonstration Program is part of a joint application filed with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) by SoCalGas, SDG&E, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) and Southwest Gas in accordance with the Biomethane Order Instituting Rulemaking (Biomethane OIR).

Yorba Linda Water District Installs Natural Gas Generator to Support Reliable Water Service During Emergencies

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and the Yorba Linda Water District (YLWD) today commemorated the installation of YLWD's new natural gas-powered electricity generator located at the water district's Elk Mountain Booster Pump Station. The generator was installed to provide back-up power in the event of power loss from wildfires, Public Safety Power Shutoffs, and other emergencies. Natural gas-powered generators are one of the cleanest, resilient and most affordable energy solutions available for backup energy in an event of an emergency. In case of an emergency, such as an earthquake or wildfire, the generator produces 500 kWh electricity to power three pumps that boost water into higher elevations and maintain water service to many of Yorba Linda's 68,000 residents as well as emergency services in the area. "During wildfires, having a reliable water source is essential," said YLWD president Phil Hawkins. "People need water to put out fires. YLWD needs power to move water. The Natural Gas Backup Generator adds that power reliability to our system. It gives first responders and residents more protection from the dangerous wildfires that plague our community." "I was pleased to support YLWD in obtaining the necessary permits," said Yorba Linda City Council Member Carlos Rodriguez. "As a Governing Board Member of the South Coast Air Quality Management District, I had the privilege to assist with this clean energy project. This is a critical step to ensure Yorba Linda families and homes are protected from power-related water emergencies thanks to this backup energy source." "Resiliency tools such as this natural gas-powered generator offer our communities the support they need during an emergency event," said Rasha Prince, director of customer energy solutions at SoCalGas. "This onsite generation system will help provide reliable, clean, and affordable energy to YLWD during grid outages caused by fires or other emergencies." To support high reliability and cost savings, YLWD chose to take advantage of a new SoCalGas' rate class called the Core Electric Generating Rate. This new rate offers an affordable option for SoCalGas' commercial customers who require unrestricted services for electric generating equipment.
