Sempra California
Serving roughly 25 million consumers, Sempra California is a dual-utility platform focused on connecting people to safe, reliable and cleaner energy. In March 2025, San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDGE) and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) filed their applications to update their respective costs of capital with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for the period of 2026 to 2028, subject to the cost of capital adjustment mechanism after 2026. A final decision from the CPUC is expected by the end of the year.
Throughout the quarter, SDGE and SoCalGas advanced strategic programs to modernize their energy networks to meet growing demand, while also advancing community safety and system reliability. In March, the CPUC approved the expansion of SDGE's Westside Canal Battery Energy Storage facility in California's Imperial Valley. This expansion project will co-locate an additional 100 megawatts (MW) of energy storage capacity at the existing 131 MW facility and is projected to be fully operational this summer. Also in March, the CPUC approved SoCalGas' first renewable natural gas (RNG) procurement contract under Senate Bill 1440, which sets RNG procurement targets for the state's natural gas utilities. The contract represents an important milestone for the RNG industry and for California's methane emissions reduction goals.

Strong global demand for cleaner and more secure energy continues to support Sempra Infrastructure's development activities across its liquefied natural gas (LNG), energy networks and low-carbon solutions business lines.

"These value creation initiatives aim to increase long-term value for shareholders, employees, customers and other stakeholders," said Martin. "In the first quarter, we made steady progress against our plan of execution. As we extend this work across 2025, we expect to advance the company's ability to deliver improved earnings growth and drive enhanced benefits for consumers and communities across our service territories."
Consistent with these value creation initiatives, the company announced Sempra Infrastructure is targeting the sales of Ecogas México, S. de R.L. de C.V., the owner of three utility franchises providing natural gas distribution services in
