SDG&E
SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include its accounts and the accounts of a VIE of which SDG&E is the primary beneficiary, as we discuss in Note 5 under “Variable Interest Entities.” SDG&E’s common stock is wholly owned by Enova Corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy.Sempra.

SoCalGas’ common stock is wholly owned by Pacific Enterprises, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy.Sempra.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This is a combined report of Sempra, Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas. We provide separate information for SDG&E and SoCalGas as required. References in this report to “we,” “our” and “Sempra Energy Consolidated” are to Sempra Energy and its consolidated entities, unless otherwise indicated by the context. We have eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions within theSempra’s consolidated financial statements of each reporting entity.statements.
Throughout this report, we refer to the following as Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements when discussed together or collectively:
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes of Sempra Energy and its subsidiaries and VIEs;
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes of SDG&E and its VIE; and
the Condensed Financial Statements and related Notes of SoCalGas.
We have prepared theour Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and in accordance with the interim-period-reportinginterim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q.10-Q and applicable rules of the SEC. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These adjustments are only of a normal, recurring nature. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.year or for any other period. We evaluated events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 20172023 through the date the financial statements were issued and, in the opinion of management, the accompanying statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. These adjustments are only of a normal, recurring nature.
All December 31, 20162022 balance sheet information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been derived from our audited 20162022 Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the interim-period-reportinginterim period reporting provisions of U.S. GAAP and the SEC.
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.Report and the impact of the adoption of new accounting standards on those policies in Note 2 below. We follow the same accounting policies for interim period reporting purposes.
You should read theThe information contained in this Quarterly Reportreport should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.


Regulated Operations
The California UtilitiesSDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra Mexico’sInfrastructure’s natural gas distribution utility, Ecogas, prepare their financial statements in accordance with the provisions of U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations. We discuss these provisionsrevenue recognition and revenue recognitionthe effects of regulation at our utilities in NoteNotes 3 and 4 below and in Notes 1, 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Our Sempra South AmericanTexas Utilities has controllingsegment is comprised of our equity method investments in holding companies that own interests in tworegulated electric transmission and distribution utilities in South America, Chilquinta Energía in Chile and Luz del Sur in Peru. Revenues are based on tariffs that are set by government agencies in their respective countries based on an efficient model distribution company defined by those agencies. Because the tariffs are based on a model and are intended to cover the costs of the model company, but are not based on the costs of the specific utility and may not result in full cost recovery, these utilities do not meet the requirements necessary for, and therefore do not apply, regulatory accounting treatment under U.S. GAAP.Texas.
Our Sempra Mexico segment includes the operating companies of our subsidiary, IEnova. Certain business activities at IEnovaSempra Infrastructure are regulated by the CRE and the FERC and meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP. Pipeline projects currently under construction by IEnova that meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP record the impact of AFUDC related to equity. We discuss AFUDC in Note 5 below and in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Sempra LNG & Midstream owned Mobile Gas in southwest Alabama and Willmut Gas in Mississippi until they were sold in September 2016, as we discuss in Note 3. Mobile Gas and Willmut Gas also prepared their financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP provisions governing rate-regulated operations.

CREDIT LOSSES
We describe below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” ASU 2015-14, “Deferral of the Effective Date,” ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),” ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” and ASU 2016-12, “Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”: ASU 2014-09 adds Topic 606are exposed to the ASC, which provides accounting guidance for the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers. The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property and equipment, including real estate. This guidance must be adopted using either a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or a modified retrospective approach. Amending ASU 2014-09, ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, ASU 2016-10 clarifies the determination of whether a good or service is separately identifiable from other promises and revenue recognition related to licenses of intellectual property, and ASU 2016-12 provides guidance on transition, collectability, noncash consideration, and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. The ASUs are codified in Topic 606.
ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of ASC 606 by one year for all entities and permits early adoption on a limited basis. For public entities, ASC 606 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and is effective for interim periods in the year of adoption. We will adopt ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 applying the modified retrospective transition method to all contracts and will elect certain practical expedients available under the transition guidance. We do not expect ASC 606 to have a material impact on the amount or timing of our consolidated revenues, but there will be additional disclosures. Upon adoption, we will include additional disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues arising from contracts with customers.
ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”: In addition to the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments, ASU 2016-01 requires entities to measure equity investments, other than those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and recognize changes in fair value in net income. Entities will no longer be able to use the cost method of accounting for equity securities. However, for equity investments without readily determinable fair values that do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value using net asset value per share, entities may elect a measurement alternative that will allow those investments to be recorded at cost, less impairment, and adjusted for subsequent observable price changes. Entities must record a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the standard is adopted, except for equity investments without readily determinable fair values, for which the guidance will be applied prospectively.
For public entities, ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We will adopt ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018 and do not expect it to materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


ASU 2016-02, “Leases”: ASU 2016-02 requires entities to include substantially all leases on the balance sheet by requiring the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases. Entities may elect to exclude from the balance sheet those leases with a maximum possible term of less than 12 months. For lessees, a lease is classified as finance or operating, and the asset and liability are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. For lessors, accounting for leases is largely unchanged from previous provisions of U.S. GAAP, other than certain changes to align lessor accounting to specific changes made to lessee accounting and ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-02 also requires new qualitative and quantitative disclosures for both lessees and lessors.
For public entities, ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and is effective for interim periods in the year of adoption. The standard requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes practical expedients that may be elected, which would allow entities to continue to account for leases that commence before the effective date of the standard in accordance with previous U.S. GAAP unless the lease is modified, except for the lessee requirement to begin recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all operating leases on the balance sheet at the reporting date. We are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting and plan to adopt the standard on January 1, 2019. As part of our evaluation, we formed a steering committee comprised of members from relevant Sempra Energy business units and are compiling our population of contracts. Based on our assessment to date, we have determined that we will elect the practical expedients available under the transition guidance described above. We continue to monitor outstanding issues currently being addressed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, since conclusions it reaches may impact our application of this ASU.
ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”: ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The standard introduces an “expected credit loss” impairment model that requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of mostfrom financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables, loan commitmentsaccounts receivable, amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates, our net investment in sales-type leases and financial guarantees. ASU 2016-13a note receivable. We are also requires use of an allowanceexposed to record estimated credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and expands disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating the credit losses.
For public entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting and have not yet selected the year in which we will adopt the standard.
ASU 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”: ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are to be presented and classified in the statement of cash flows in order to reduce diversity in practice.
For public entities, ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, and is effective for interim periods in the year of adoption. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. Entities must apply the guidance retrospectively to all periods presented, but may apply it prospectively if retrospective application would be impracticable. We plan to adopt the standard in the fourth quarter of 2017.
ASU 2016-18, “Restricted Cash”: ASU 2016-18 requires amounts described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. A reconciliation between the balancefrom off-balance sheet and the statement of cash flows must be disclosed when the balance sheet includes more than one line item for cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. For public entities, ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We plan to adopt the standard in the fourth quarter of 2017.
If we had adopted ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 effective January 1, 2017, reported amounts in Sempra Energy’s and SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 would have been impacted as follows:



EXPECTED IMPACT FROM ADOPTION OF ASU 2016-15 AND ASU 2016-18
(Dollars in millions)
 Nine months ended September 30, 2017
Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows: 
Increase (decrease), compared to amounts reported:   
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period$76
 
Net cash provided by operating activities (6) 
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash 2
 
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period 72
 
SDG&E Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of period$12
 
Net cash provided by operating activities (6) 
Net cash used in investing activities 9
 
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period 15
 

If adopted effective January 1, 2017, ASU 2016-15 and ASU 2016-18 would not have impacted SoCalGas’ Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.
ASU 2017-01, “Clarifying the Definition of a Business”: ASU 2017-01 narrows the definition of a business and provides a framework to assist entities in determining whether a transaction involves an asset or a business. Specifically, the ASU provides a “screen” for determining when an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. If the screen threshold is not met, a set cannot be considered a business unless it includes an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. ASU 2017-01 is effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. ASU 2017-01 must be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted. We early adopted ASU 2017-01 on July 1, 2017.
ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”: ASU 2017-04 removes the second step of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. An entity will be required to apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. For public entities, ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are to be applied on a prospective basis. We have not yet selected the year in which we will adopt the standard.
ASU 2017-05, “Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets”: ASU 2017-05 clarifies the scope of accounting for the derecognition or partial sale of nonfinancial assets to exclude all businesses and nonprofit activities. ASU 2017-05 also provides a definition for in-substance nonfinancial assets and additional guidance on partial sales of nonfinancial assets. For public entities, ASU 2017-05 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. Entities may apply a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. Under a modified retrospective approach, entities are required to apply the guidance to any transactions that are not completed as of the adoption date. We will adopt the standard in conjunction with our adoption of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method.
ASU 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”: ASU 2017-07 requires the service cost component of net periodic benefit costs to be presented in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period and the other components of net periodic benefit costs to be presented separately outside of operating income. The guidance also allows only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization. For public entities, ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. Amendments are to be applied retrospectively for presentation of costs and prospectively for capitalization of service costs. The guidance allows a practical expedient that permits use of previously disclosed service costs and other costs from the pension and other postretirement benefit plan note in the comparative periods as appropriate estimates when retrospectively changing the presentation of these costs in the statements of operations. We are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting and will adopt the standard on January 1, 2018. Based on our assessment to date, we have determined that we will elect the practical expedient available under the transition guidance.


ASU 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities”: ASU 2017-12 better aligns an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships by changing the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge accounting results. More specifically, the guidance expands the exposures that can be hedged to align with an entity’s risk management strategies, alleviates documentation requirements, eliminates the concept of recognizing periodic hedge ineffectiveness for cash flow and net investment hedges and requires entities to present the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument in the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. For public entities, ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. If an entity early adopts ASU 2017-12 in an interim period, any transition adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. Entities will adopt ASU 2017-12 by applying a modified retrospective approach to the accounting for existing hedging relationships and will prospectively apply the new presentation and disclosure requirements. Transition elections are available for all hedges that exist at the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting and have not yet selected the year in which we will adopt the standard.
NOTE 3. ACQUISITION AND DIVESTITURE ACTIVITY
We consolidate assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the purchase date and include earnings from acquisitions in consolidated earnings after the purchase date.
ACQUISITIONS
Sempra Mexico
IEnova Pipelines, S. de R.L. de C.V. (formerly known as Gasoductos de Chihuahua, S. de R.L. de C.V., or GdC)
On September 26, 2016, IEnova completed the acquisition of PEMEX’s 50-percent interest in IEnova Pipelines for a purchase price of $1.144 billion (exclusive of $66 million of cash and cash equivalents acquired), plus the assumption of $364 million of long-term debt, increasing IEnova’s ownership interest in IEnova Pipelines to 100 percent. IEnova Pipelines became a consolidated subsidiary of IEnova on this date. Prior to the acquisition date, IEnova owned 50 percent of IEnova Pipelines and accounted for its interest as an equity method investment. In September 2016, we recorded a pretax gain of $617 million ($432 million after-tax) for the excess of the acquisition-date fair value of Sempra Mexico’s previously held equity interest in IEnova Pipelines over the carrying value of that interest, included as Remeasurement of Equity Method Investment on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
We accounted for this business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. We allocated the $1.078 billion in cash paid ($1.144 billion purchase price less $66 million of cash and cash equivalents acquired) to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, with the excess recognized as goodwill at the Sempra Mexico reportable segment. There were no measurement period adjustmentsarrangements through Sempra’s guarantee related to this acquisition during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and we consider the purchase price allocation to be final.
We discuss this acquisition, including the remeasurement gain and purchase price allocation, in Notes 3 and 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Ventika, S.A.P.I. de C.V. and Ventika II, S.A.P.I. de C.V.
On December 14, 2016, IEnova acquired 100 percent of the equity interests in Ventika, a 252-MW wind farm. At September 30, 2017, the purchase price allocation for the Ventika acquisition remains preliminary and subject to completion. Adjustments to the fair value estimates related to the Ventika acquisition may occur as various valuations and assessments are finalized, primarily related to tax assets, liabilities and other attributes. We discuss the preliminary purchase price allocation and overall Ventika acquisition in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Sempra Renewables
On July 10, 2017, Sempra Renewables paid $124 million in cash for an asset acquisition of a solar project located near Fresno, California,Cameron LNG JV’s SDSRA, which is currently under construction. We expect to place the project into service in phases during the fourth quarter of 2017 and the first half of 2018 and, when fully constructed, it will be capable of producing up to 200 MW of solar power. The solar project is fully contracted under four long-term PPAs, with an average contract term of 18 years.


In July 2016, Sempra Renewables acquired a 100-percent interest in a 100-MW wind farm in Huron County, Michigan, with a 15-year power purchase agreement, for a total purchase price of $22 million. Sempra Renewables paid $18 million in cash on the acquisition date and paid the remaining $4 million in cash on achievement of certain construction milestones in the fourth quarter of 2016. We expect to place this wind farm into service in the fourth quarter of 2017.
PENDING ACQUISITIONS
Sempra Energy
Energy Future Holdings Corp.
On August 21, 2017, Sempra Energy entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, as supplemented by a Waiver Agreement dated October 3, 2017 (together referred to as the Merger Agreement), with Energy Future Holdings Corp., the indirect owner of 80.03 percent of Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC. Oncor is a regulated electric distribution and transmission business that operates the largest distribution and transmission system in Texas. Following closing, this acquisition will expand our regulated earnings base, while serving as a platform for future growth in the Texas energy market and U.S. Gulf Coast region. Under the Merger Agreement, we will pay total consideration of $9.45 billion, subject to possible adjustment as we describe below.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions described below, EFH will be merged with an indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy, with EFH continuing as the surviving company and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy (the Merger), as follows:
sempraoncororgchart2a03.gif
TTI, an investment vehicle indirectly owned by third parties unaffiliated with EFH and Sempra Energy, owns 19.75 percent of Oncor’s outstanding membership interests, and certain current and former directors and officers of Oncor indirectly beneficially own 0.22 percent of Oncor’s outstanding membership interests through their ownership of Class B membership interests in OMI. On October 3, 2017, Sempra Energy provided written confirmation to Oncor Holdings and Oncor that, contemporaneously with the closing of the Merger, equivalent value (approximately $25.9 million) will be provided in exchange for the Class B membership interests in OMI for


cash or, if mutually agreed by the parties, alternative benefit and/or incentive plans. The consummation of the Merger is not conditioned on the acquisition of the interests in OMI.
Merger Consideration and Financing. Under the Merger Agreement, Sempra Energy will pay total Merger consideration of $9.45 billion in cash, subject to possible adjustment based on the timing of dividends paid by Oncor to Oncor Holdings and the consummation of the Merger (the Merger Consideration). We do not expect any purchase price adjustment to be material.
We currently intend to initially finance the Merger Consideration of $9.45 billion, as well as associated transaction costs, with the net proceeds from debt and equity issuances, and could also likely utilize revolving credit facilities, commercial paper and/or cash on hand. We expect to ultimately fund approximately 65 percent of the total Merger Consideration with the net proceeds from sales of Sempra Energy common stock and, possibly, other equity securities and approximately 35 percent with the net proceeds from issuances of Sempra Energy debt securities. Some of these equity issuances will likely occur following the Merger to repay outstanding indebtedness, including indebtedness we expect to incur to finance the Merger Consideration and associated transaction costs.
We have incurred transaction costs of $23 million as of September 30, 2017. These costs are included in Sundry on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and will be charged against related gross proceeds of equity offerings, debt offerings and/or included in the basis of EFH’s equity method investment in Oncor Holdings upon consummation of the Merger. If the Merger does not occur, these transaction costs will be expensed.
Ring-Fencing. In April 2014, EFH and the substantial majority of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The bankruptcy does not include Oncor Holdings or Oncor. Certain existing “ring-fencing” measures, governance mechanisms and restrictions will remain in effect following the Merger, which are intended to enhance Oncor Holdings’ and Oncor’s separateness from its owners and to mitigate the risk that these entities would be negatively impacted by the bankruptcy of, or other adverse financial developments affecting, EFH or its other subsidiaries or the owners of EFH. In accordance with the ring-fencing measures and commitments made by Sempra Energy as part of the application to the PUCT for regulatory approval of the Merger, Sempra Energy will be subject to certain restrictions following the Merger. Sempra Energy will not control Oncor Holdings or Oncor, and the ring-fencing measures, governance mechanisms and restrictions will limit Sempra Energy’s ability to direct the management, policies and operations of Oncor Holdings and Oncor, including the deployment or disposition of their assets, declarations of dividends, strategic planning and other important corporate issues and actions. These limitations include limited representation on the Oncor Holdings and Oncor boards of directors. Following consummation of the Merger, the board of directors of Oncor is expected to consist of thirteen members and be constituted as follows:
seven of which will be independent directors under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (and at least two of which shall have no current or prior material relationship with Sempra Energy),
two of which will be designated by EFIH (which, after the Merger, will be a subsidiary of Sempra Energy that Sempra Energy is expected to control),
two of which will be appointed by TTI, and
two of which will be members of Oncor management.
Oncor Holdings will also continue to have a majority of independent directors following the consummation of the Merger. Thus, Oncor Holdings and Oncor will continue to be managed independently (i.e., ring-fenced). Upon consummation of the acquisition, we will consolidate EFH and EFH will continue to account for its ownership in Oncor Holdings as an equity method investment.
Closing Conditions. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the U.S Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, the PUCT, the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation, and the FERC, among others, as well as receipt of a private letter ruling from the IRS and the issuance of certain tax opinions regarding the transaction.
On September 6, 2017, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware approved EFH’s and EFIH’s entry into the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, a $190 million termination fee would be owed to Sempra Energy if EFH or EFIH terminates the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances and consummates an alternative proposal with a third party.
On October 5, 2017, Sempra Energy and Oncor filed a joint application with the PUCT and an application with the FERC seeking approval of the Merger. On October 12, 2017, the ALJ in the PUCT proceeding issued an order deeming the joint application sufficient. On October 16, 2017, the PUCT set a procedural schedule to complete a review of Sempra Energy’s and Oncor’s change-in-control request within 180 days of the filing of the joint application on October 5, 2017.
We expect the transaction to close in the first half of 2018.
Sempra Mexico
Ductos y Energéticos del Norte, S. de R.L. de C.V.


IEnova and PEMEX are partners in DEN, a joint venture that holds an interest in the Los Ramones Norte pipeline. On October 6, 2017, IEnova entered into an agreement to purchase PEMEX’s 50-percent interest in DEN for total consideration of approximately $231 million, subject to customary closing adjustments and including the repayment of approximately $81 million of outstanding debt owed by DEN to PEMEX. This acquisition will increase IEnova’s ownership interest in DEN through IEnova Pipelines from 50 percent to 100 percent, and increase IEnova’s indirect ownership interest in the Los Ramones Norte pipeline from 25 percent to 50 percent. The transaction is subject to satisfactory completion of Mexican antitrust review and other customary closing conditions, and we expect it to close in the fourth quarter of 2017. The cash consideration will be funded through IEnova’s revolving credit facility.
IEnova Pipelines currently accounts for its 50-percent interest in DEN as an equity method investment. At closing, DEN will become a wholly owned, consolidated subsidiary of IEnova and will continue to account for its interest in the Los Ramones Norte pipeline as an equity method investment.
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
We classify assets as held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market an asset for sale and we expect the sale to close within the next 12 months. Upon classifying an asset as held for sale, we record the asset at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value reduced for selling costs.
Sempra Mexico
Termoeléctrica de Mexicali
In February 2016, management approved a plan to market and sell Sempra Mexico’s TdM, a 625-MW natural gas-fired power plant located in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico, as we discuss in Note 35.
We regularly monitor and evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses, if necessary, for trade and other accounts receivable using a combination of factors, including past-due status based on contractual terms, trends in write-offs, the age of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statementsreceivables and customer payment patterns, historical and industry trends, counterparty creditworthiness, economic conditions and specific events, such as bankruptcies, pandemics and other factors. We write off financial assets measured at amortized cost in the Annual Report. As a result,period in which we stopped depreciating the plant and classifieddetermine they are not recoverable. We record recoveries of amounts previously written off when it as held for sale.is known that they will be recovered.
In connection with the sales process, in late September 2016 and early July 2017, Sempra Mexico received market information indicating that the fair value of TdM was less than its carrying value. After performing analysis of the information, Sempra Mexico reduced the carrying value of TdM by recognizing noncash impairment charges of $131 million ($111 million after-tax) in the thirdfirst quarter of 20162022, SDG&E and $71SoCalGas received $63 million inand $79 million, respectively, on behalf of their customers from the second quarterCalifornia Department of 2017, recorded in Other Impairment Losses on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated StatementsCommunity Services and Development under the 2021 California Arrearage Payment Program and applied the amounts directly to eligible customer accounts to reduce past due balances. In June 2022, AB 205 was approved establishing, among other things, the 2022 California Arrearage Payment Program. In December 2022, SDG&E and SoCalGas received funding of Operations. We discuss non-recurring fair value measures$51 million and the associated accounting impact on TdM in Note 8 herein$59 million, respectively, related to this program and, in Note 10January 2023, applied the amounts directly to eligible customer accounts to reduce past due balances.

Table of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.Contents
In connection with TdM’s classification as held for sale, we recognized $32 million in income tax expense in the first half of 2016 for a deferred Mexican income tax liability related to the excess of carrying value over the tax basis. As a result of reducing the carrying valueimpact and duration of TdMsuspending collections processes during the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation of programs such as the Arrearage Management Plan, and higher winter season customer billings, certain SDG&E and SoCalGas customers exhibit slower payment and higher levels of nonpayment than has been the case historically. This in the third quarter of 2016, we reduced the deferred Mexican income tax liability by $31 million. There was no such tax expense or tax benefit in the third quarter of 2017 and an $8 million tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of further reduction in TdM’s carrying value in the second quarter of 2017. As the Mexican income tax on this outside basis difference is based on current carrying value, foreign exchange rates and inflation, such amount could change in future periods until the date of sale. We continue to actively pursue the sale of TdM, which we expect to be completed in the first half of 2018.
At September 30, 2017, the carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and related liabilities held for sale associated with TdM are as follows:

DIVESTITURES
Sempra LNG & Midstream
EnergySouth Inc.
In September 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream completed the sale of EnergySouth, the parent company of Mobile Gas and Willmut Gas, to Spire Inc., formerly The Laclede Group, Inc., for cash proceeds of $318 million, net of $2 million cash sold, with the buyer assuming debt of $67 million. We recognized a pretax gain on the sale of $130 million ($78 million after-tax) in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016, in Gain on Sale of Assets on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. On September 12, 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream deconsolidated EnergySouth.

Investment in Rockies Express Pipeline LLC
In March 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream entered into an agreement to sell its 25-percent interest in Rockies Express for cash consideration of $440 million, subject to adjustment at closing. The transaction closed in May 2016 for total cash proceeds of $443 million.
At the date of the agreement, the carrying value of Sempra LNG & Midstream’s investment in Rockies Express was $484 million. Following the execution of the agreement, Sempra LNG & Midstream measured the fair value of its equity method investment at $440 million, and recognized a $44 million ($27 million after-tax) impairment in Equity Earnings, Before Income Tax, on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the first quarter of 2016. We discuss non-recurring fair value measures and the associated accounting impact on our investment in Rockies Express in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
NOTE 4. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
Sempra Energy uses the equity method to account for investments in affiliated companies over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control.

GOODWILLWILDFIRE FUND
In July 2019, the Wildfire Legislation was signed into law to address certain issues related to catastrophic wildfires in the State of California and their impact on electric IOUs. We discuss goodwillthe Wildfire Legislation further in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
In October 2023, the OEIS approved SDG&E’s 2023 Wildfire Mitigation Plan, which is effective until the OEIS approves a new plan.
SDG&E submitted its request to the OEIS for its annual wildfire safety certification in September 2023. OEIS has until December 2023 to issue the certification or provide written notice explaining why additional time is needed. SDG&E’s existing certification remains valid until this pending request is resolved.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Sempra Infrastructure’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two segments, the Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment and the Guaymas-El Oro segment. Each segment has its own service agreement with the CFE. Following the start of commercial operations of the Guaymas-El Oro segment, Sempra Infrastructure reported damage to the pipeline in goodwill from $2,364 million at December 31, 2016the Yaqui territory that has made that section inoperable since August 2017. Discussions with the CFE regarding the future of the pipeline are ongoing and the parties are working on restarting service on the pipeline, including the potential re-routing of a portion of the pipeline. If the parties do not agree on a definitive arrangement to $2,393 million atre-route a portion of the pipeline or the parties do not agree on a new service start date, Sempra Infrastructure retains the right to terminate the contract and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profits. At September 30, 2017 is due2023, Sempra Infrastructure had $411 million in PP&E, net, related to foreign currency translation at Sempra South American Utilities. We record the offsetGuaymas-El Oro segment of this fluctuation in OCI.the Sonora pipeline.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We consolidate a VIE if we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary is based on qualitative and quantitative analyses, which assessassess:
the purpose and design of the VIE;
the nature of the VIE’s risks and the risks we absorb;
the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and
the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.
the purpose and design of the VIE;
the nature of the VIE’s risks and the risks we absorb;
the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and
the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.
We will continue to evaluate our VIEs for any changes that may impact our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and if we are the primary beneficiary.
SDG&E
SDG&E’s power procurement is subject to reliability requirements that may require SDG&E to enter into various power purchase arrangements whichPPAs that include variable interests. SDG&E evaluates the respective entities to determine if variable interests exist and, based on the qualitative and quantitative analyses described above, if SDG&E, and therebyindirectly Sempra, Energy, is the primary beneficiary.
Tolling Agreements
SDG&E has agreements under which it purchases power generated by facilities for which it supplies all of the natural gas to fuel the power plant (i.e., tolling agreements). SDG&E’s obligation to absorb natural gas costs may be a significant variable interest. In addition, SDG&E has the power to direct the dispatch of electricity generated by these facilities. Based uponon our analysis, the ability to direct the dispatch of electricity may have the most significant impact on the economic performance of the entity owning the generating facility because of the associated exposure to the cost of natural gas, which fuels the plants, and the value of electricity produced. To the extent that SDG&E (1) is obligated to purchase and provide fuel to operate the facility, (2) has the power to direct the dispatch, and (3) purchases all of the output from the facility for a substantial portion of the facility’s useful life, SDG&E may be the primary beneficiary of the entity owning the generating facility. SDG&E determines if it is the primary beneficiary in these cases based on a qualitative approach in which we considerit considers the operational characteristics of the facility, including its expected power generation output relative to its capacity to generate and the financial structure of the entity, among other factors. If we determineSDG&E determines that SDG&Eit is the primary beneficiary, SDG&E and Sempra Energy consolidate the entity that owns the facility as a VIE.
Otay Mesa VIE
SDG&E has an agreement to purchase power generated at OMEC, a 605-MW generating facility. In addition to tolling the agreement provides SDG&E with the option to purchase OMEC at the end of the contract term in 2019, or upon earlier termination of the PPA, at


a predetermined price subject to adjustments based on performance of the facility. If SDG&E does not exercise its option, under certain circumstances, it may be required to purchase the power plant for $280 million, which we refer to as the put option.
The facility owner, OMEC LLC, is a VIE, which we refer to as Otay Mesa VIE, of which SDG&E is the primary beneficiary. SDG&E has no OMEC LLC voting rights, holds no equity in OMEC LLC and does not operate OMEC. In addition to the risks absorbed under the tolling agreement, SDG&E absorbs separately through the put option a significant portion of the risk that the value of Otay Mesa VIE could decline. Accordingly, SDG&E and Sempra Energy consolidate Otay Mesa VIE. Otay Mesa VIE’s equity of $35 million at September 30, 2017 and $37 million at December 31, 2016 is included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other Noncontrolling Interests for Sempra Energy and in Noncontrolling Interest for SDG&E.
OMEC LLC has a loan outstanding of $297 million at September 30, 2017, the proceeds of which were used for the construction of OMEC. The loan is with third party lenders and is collateralized by OMEC’s assets. SDG&E is not a party to the loan agreement and does not have any additional implicit or explicit financial responsibility to OMEC LLC. The loan fully matures in April 2019 and bears interest at rates varying with market rates. In addition, OMEC LLC has entered into interest rate swap agreements, to moderate its exposure to interest rate changes. We provide additional information concerning the interest rate swaps in Note 7.
The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations of Sempra Energy and SDG&E include the following amounts associated with Otay Mesa VIE. The amounts are net of eliminations of transactions between SDG&E and Otay Mesa VIE. The captions in the table below correspond to SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

SDG&E has determined that no contracts, other than the one relating to Otay Mesa VIE mentioned above, result in SDG&E being the primary beneficiary of a VIE at September 30, 2017. In addition to the tolling agreements described above, other variable interests involve various elements of fuel and power costs, and other components of cash flowflows expected to be paid to or received by our counterparties. In most of these cases, the expectation of variability is not substantial, and SDG&E generally does not have the power to direct activities, including the operation and maintenance activities of the generating facility, that most significantly impact the economic performance of the other VIEs. In addition, SDG&E is not exposed to losses or gains as a result of these other VIEs, because all such variability would be recovered in rates. If our ongoing evaluation of these VIEs were to conclude that SDG&E becomes the primary beneficiary and consolidation by SDG&E becomes necessary, the effects could be significant to the financial position and liquidity of SDG&E and Sempra Energy. We provide additional information aboutSempra.

SDG&E determined that none of its PPAs with power plant facilities that are VIEs of whichand tolling agreements resulted in SDG&E is notbeing the primary beneficiary of a VIE at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. PPAs and tolling agreements that relate to SDG&E’s involvement with VIEs are primarily accounted for as finance leases. The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities under these contracts are included in PP&E, net, and finance lease liabilities with balances of $1,174 million and $1,194 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. SDG&E recovers costs incurred on PPAs, tolling agreements and other variable interests through CPUC-approved long-term power procurement plans. SDG&E has no residual interest in the respective entities and has not provided or guaranteed any debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements, performance guarantees or other commitments associated with these contracts other than the purchase commitments described in Note 11 below and in Note 1516 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. As a result, SDG&E’s potential exposure to loss from its variable interest in these VIEs is not significant.
We provide additional information regarding Otay MesaSempra Texas Utilities
Oncor Holdings is a VIE. Sempra is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because of the structural and operational ring-fencing and governance measures in place that prevent us from having the power to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings. As a result, we do not consolidate Oncor Holdings and instead account for our ownership interest as an equity method investment. See Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Sempra Renewables
Effective December 2016, certain of Sempra Renewables’ wind and solar power generation projects are held by limited liability companies whose members are Sempra Renewables and financial institutions. The financial institutions are noncontrolling tax equity investors to which earnings, tax attributes and cash flows are allocated in accordance with the respective limited liability company agreements. These entities are VIEs and Sempra Energy is the primary beneficiary, generally due to Sempra Energy’s power as the operator of the renewable energy projects to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs.
As the primary beneficiary of these tax equity limited liability companies, we consolidate them. Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include $904 million and $926 million of PP&E, net, and equity of $445 million and $468 million included in Other Noncontrolling Interests at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, associated with these entities.

Sempra Energy’sabout our equity method investment in Oncor Holdings and restrictions on our ability to influence its activities. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, from our interest in Oncor Holdings does not exceed the carrying value of our investment, which was $14,148 million and $13,665 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Sempra Infrastructure
Cameron LNG JV
Cameron LNG JV is considered to be a VIE principally due to contractual provisions that transfer certain risks to customers. Sempra Energy is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of Cameron LNG JV. We will continue to evaluateJV, including LNG production and operation and maintenance activities at the liquefaction facility. Therefore, we account for our investment in Cameron LNG JV for any changes that may impact our determination ofunder the primary beneficiary.equity method. The carrying value of our investment, in Cameron LNG JV, including amounts recognized in AOCI related to interest-rate cash flow hedges at Cameron LNG JV, was $980$989 million at September 30, 20172023 and $997$886 million at December 31, 2016.2022. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, includes the carrying value of our investment and our obligation under the guarantees discussedSDSRA, which we discuss in Note 4 above and5.
CFIN
As we discuss in Note 45, in July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Other Variable Interest Entities
CFIN, which is a VIE. Sempra Energy’s other businesses also enter into arrangements which could include variable interests. We evaluate these arrangements and applicable entities based on the qualitative and quantitative analyses described above. Certain of these entities are service or project companies that are VIEs. Asis not the primary beneficiary of these companies,this VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of CFIN, including modification, prepayment, and refinance decisions related to the financing arrangement with external lenders and Cameron LNG JV’s four project owners as well as the ability to determine and enforce remedies in the event of default. The conditional obligations of the Support Agreement represent a variable interest that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis (see Note 8). Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss under the terms of the Support Agreement is $979 million.
ECA LNG Phase 1
ECA LNG Phase 1 is a VIE because its total equity at risk is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. We expect that ECA LNG Phase 1 will require future capital contributions or other financial support to finance the construction of the facility. Sempra is the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we have the power to direct the activities related to the construction and future operation and maintenance of the liquefaction facility. As a result, we consolidate them; however, their financial statementsECA LNG Phase 1. Sempra consolidated $1,430 million and $1,099 million of assets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, consisting primarily of PP&E, net, attributable to ECA LNG Phase 1 that could be used only to settle obligations of this VIE and that are not materialavailable to settle obligations of Sempra, and $924 million and $685 million of liabilities at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, consisting primarily of long-term debt, accounts payable and short-term debt attributable to ECA LNG Phase 1 for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of Sempra. Additionally, as we discuss in Note 6, IEnova and TotalEnergies SE have provided guarantees for 83.4% and 16.6%, respectively, of the loan facility supporting construction of the liquefaction facility.

Benefit Plan Contributions
The following table showsVARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We consolidate a VIE if we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary is based on qualitative and quantitative analyses, which assess:
the purpose and design of the VIE;
the nature of the VIE’s risks and the risks we absorb;
the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and
the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.
We will continue to evaluate our year-to-date contributionsVIEs for any changes that may impact our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and if we are the primary beneficiary.
SDG&E
SDG&E’s power procurement is subject to pensionreliability requirements that may require SDG&E to enter into various PPAs that include variable interests. SDG&E evaluates the respective entities to determine if variable interests exist and, based on the qualitative and quantitative analyses described above, if SDG&E, and indirectly Sempra, is the primary beneficiary.
SDG&E has agreements under which it purchases power generated by facilities for which it supplies all of the natural gas to fuel the power plant (i.e., tolling agreements). SDG&E’s obligation to absorb natural gas costs may be a significant variable interest. In addition, SDG&E has the power to direct the dispatch of electricity generated by these facilities. Based on our analysis, the ability to direct the dispatch of electricity may have the most significant impact on the economic performance of the entity owning the generating facility because of the associated exposure to the cost of natural gas, which fuels the plants, and the value of electricity produced. To the extent that SDG&E (1) is obligated to purchase and provide fuel to operate the facility, (2) has the power to direct the dispatch, and (3) purchases all of the output from the facility for a substantial portion of the facility’s useful life, SDG&E may be the primary beneficiary of the entity owning the generating facility. SDG&E determines if it is the primary beneficiary in these cases based on a qualitative approach in which it considers the operational characteristics of the facility, including its expected power generation output relative to its capacity to generate and the financial structure of the entity, among other factors. If SDG&E determines that it is the primary beneficiary, SDG&E and Sempra consolidate the entity that owns the facility as a VIE.
In addition to tolling agreements, other variable interests involve various elements of fuel and power costs, and other postretirement benefit planscomponents of cash flows expected to be paid to or received by our counterparties. In most of these cases, the expectation of variability is not substantial, and SDG&E generally does not have the amounts we expectpower to contribute in 2017:direct activities, including the operation and maintenance activities of the generating facility, that most significantly impact the economic performance of the other VIEs. If our ongoing evaluation of these VIEs were to conclude that SDG&E becomes the primary beneficiary and consolidation by SDG&E becomes necessary, the effects could be significant to the financial position and liquidity of SDG&E and Sempra.

RABBI TRUST
In supportSDG&E determined that none of its Supplemental Executive Retirement, Cash Balance RestorationPPAs and Deferred Compensation Plans, Sempra Energy maintains dedicatedtolling agreements resulted in SDG&E being the primary beneficiary of a VIE at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. PPAs and tolling agreements that relate to SDG&E’s involvement with VIEs are primarily accounted for as finance leases. The carrying amounts of the assets including a Rabbi Trust and investmentsliabilities under these contracts are included in life insurance contracts, which totaled $435PP&E, net, and finance lease liabilities with balances of $1,174 million and $430$1,194 million at September 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, respectively.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table provides EPS computations for SDG&E recovers costs incurred on PPAs, tolling agreements and other variable interests through CPUC-approved long-term power procurement plans. SDG&E has no residual interest in the three monthsrespective entities and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilution of common stock equivalent shares that could occur if securitieshas not provided or guaranteed any debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements, performance guarantees or other commitments associated with these contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

(1)Includes 612 and 572 average fully vested RSUs held in our Deferred Compensation Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 607 and 565 of such RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These fully vested RSUs are included in weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic EPS because there are no conditions under which the corresponding shares will not be issued.
(2)Due to market fluctuations of both Sempra Energy stock and the comparative indices used to determine the vesting percentage of our total shareholder return performance-based RSUs, which we discuss in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, dilutive RSUs may vary widely from period-to-period.

The potentially dilutive impact from stock options, RSAs and RSUs is calculated underother than the treasury stock method. Under this method, proceeds based on the exercise price and unearned compensation are assumed to be used to repurchase shares on the open market at the average market price for the period, reducing the number of potential new shares to be issued and sometimes causing an antidilutive effect. The computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2017 excludes 2,608 potentially dilutive shares because to include them would be antidilutive for the period. There were no such potentially dilutive shares for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The computation of diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 excludes 2,608 and 2,426 such potentially dilutive shares, respectively. However, these shares could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.
Pursuant to our Sempra Energy share-based compensation plans, Sempra Energy’s Board of Directors granted 424,760 performance-based RSUs and 93,619 service-based RSUs during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily in January. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, IEnova granted 1,043,709 RSUs from the IEnova 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, under which awards are cash settled at vesting based on the price of IEnova common stock.
We discuss share-based compensation plans and related awards furtherpurchase commitments described in Note 816 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. As a result, SDG&E’s potential exposure to loss from its variable interest in these VIEs is not significant.
Sempra Texas Utilities
Oncor Holdings is a VIE. Sempra is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because of the structural and operational ring-fencing and governance measures in place that prevent us from having the power to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings. As a result, we do not consolidate Oncor Holdings and instead account for our ownership interest as an equity method investment. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for additional information about our equity method investment in Oncor Holdings and restrictions on our ability to influence its activities. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, from our interest in Oncor Holdings does not exceed the carrying value of our investment, which was $14,148 million and $13,665 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Sempra Infrastructure
Cameron LNG JV
Cameron LNG JV is a VIE principally due to contractual provisions that transfer certain risks to customers. Sempra is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of Cameron LNG JV, including LNG production and operation and maintenance activities at the liquefaction facility. Therefore, we account for our investment in Cameron LNG JV under the equity method. The carrying value of our investment, including amounts recognized in AOCI related to interest-rate cash flow hedges at Cameron LNG JV, was $989 million at September 30, 2023 and $886 million at December 31, 2022. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, includes the carrying value of our investment and our obligation under the SDSRA, which we discuss in Note 5.
CFIN
As we discuss in Note 5, in July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN, which is a VIE. Sempra is not the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of CFIN, including modification, prepayment, and refinance decisions related to the financing arrangement with external lenders and Cameron LNG JV’s four project owners as well as the ability to determine and enforce remedies in the event of default. The conditional obligations of the Support Agreement represent a variable interest that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis (see Note 8). Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss under the terms of the Support Agreement is $979 million.
ECA LNG Phase 1
ECA LNG Phase 1 is a VIE because its total equity at risk is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. We expect that ECA LNG Phase 1 will require future capital contributions or other financial support to finance the construction of the facility. Sempra is the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we have the power to direct the activities related to the construction and future operation and maintenance of the liquefaction facility. As a result, we consolidate ECA LNG Phase 1. Sempra consolidated $1,430 million and $1,099 million of assets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, consisting primarily of PP&E, net, attributable to ECA LNG Phase 1 that could be used only to settle obligations of this VIE and that are not available to settle obligations of Sempra, and $924 million and $685 million of liabilities at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, consisting primarily of long-term debt, accounts payable and short-term debt attributable to ECA LNG Phase 1 for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of Sempra. Additionally, as we discuss in Note 6, IEnova and TotalEnergies SE have provided guarantees for 83.4% and 16.6%, respectively, of the loan facility supporting construction of the liquefaction facility.

Port Arthur LNG
Port Arthur LNG is a VIE because its total equity at risk is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. We expect that Port Arthur LNG will require future capital contributions or other financial support to finance the construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. Sempra is the primary beneficiary of this VIE because we have the power to direct the activities related to the construction and future operation and maintenance of the liquefaction facility. As a result, we consolidate Port Arthur LNG. Sempra consolidated $3,830 million of assets at September 30, 2023 consisting primarily of PP&E, net, other long-term assets and restricted cash attributable to Port Arthur LNG that could be used only to settle obligations of this VIE and that are not available to settle obligations of Sempra, and $788 million of liabilities at September 30, 2023 consisting primarily of accounts payable and long-term debt attributable to Port Arthur LNG for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of Sempra.

Sempra Infrastructure’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two segments, the Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment and AFUDCthe Guaymas-El Oro segment. Each segment has its own service agreement with the CFE. Following the start of commercial operations of the Guaymas-El Oro segment, Sempra Infrastructure reported damage to the pipeline in the Yaqui territory that has made that section inoperable since August 2017. Discussions with the CFE regarding the future of the pipeline are as follows:ongoing and the parties are working on restarting service on the pipeline, including the potential re-routing of a portion of the pipeline. If the parties do not agree on a definitive arrangement to re-route a portion of the pipeline or the parties do not agree on a new service start date, Sempra Infrastructure retains the right to terminate the contract and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profits. At September 30, 2023, Sempra Infrastructure had $411 million in PP&E, net, related to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline.

At the closing of the sale of NCI to the ConocoPhillips affiliate, the associated limited liability company agreement was amended and restated to include the ConocoPhillips affiliate as a member of such company and to set forth certain governance and other agreements with respect to the funding of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. Pursuant to the limited liability company agreement, such company will generally be managed by a board of managers, initially constituting three representatives appointed by the indirect subsidiary of SI Partners and two representatives appointed by the ConocoPhillips affiliate.
The indirect subsidiary of SI Partners and the ConocoPhillips affiliate have made certain customary capital contribution commitments to fund their respective pro rata equity share of the total anticipated capital calls for the equity portion of the anticipated development costs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. In addition, both SI Partners and ConocoPhillips provided guarantees relating to their respective affiliate’s commitment to make its pro rata equity share of capital contributions to fund 110% of the development budget of the PA LNG Phase 1 project, in an aggregate amount of up to $9.0 billion. SI Partners’ guarantee covers 70% of this amount plus enforcement costs of its guarantee.
Sale of NCI to ADIA. In June 2022, Sempra and ADIA consummated the transaction contemplated under a purchase and sale agreement dated December 21, 2021 (the ADIA Purchase Agreement). Pursuant to the ADIA Purchase Agreement, ADIA acquired Class A Units representing a 10% NCI in SI Partners for a purchase price of $1.7 billion. Following the closing of the transaction, Sempra, KKR Pinnacle and ADIA directly or indirectly own 70%, 20%, and 10%, respectively, of the outstanding Class A Units of SI Partners, which excludes the non-voting Sole Risk Interests held only by Sempra. As a result of this sale to ADIA, we recorded a $709 million increase in equity held by NCI and an increase in Sempra’s shareholders’ equity of $710 million, net of $12 million in transaction costs and $300 million in tax impacts. Transaction costs include $10 million paid to ADIA for reimbursement of certain expenses that ADIA incurred in connection with closing the transaction.
Contributions from NCI. In October 2021, KKR Pinnacle acquired a 20% NCI in SI Partners. Under the limited partnership agreement that governs our and KKR Pinnacle’s respective rights and obligations in respect of our and their ownership interests in SI Partners, KKR Pinnacle was entitled to a $200 million credit from Sempra to be applied to capital calls once an LNG project reached a positive final investment decision and met certain projected internal rates of return. In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023, KKR Pinnacle used $14 million and $200 million, respectively, of this credit to fund its share of contributions to SI Partners. As a result, we recorded a $200 million increase in equity held by NCI and a decrease in Sempra’s shareholders’ equity of $145 million, net of a $39 million cash deposittax benefit.

SEMPRA EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilution of common stock equivalent shares that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

Guarantees
Sempra Energy has provided guarantees to certain of its solar and wind farm joint ventures, entered into guarantees related to the financing of the Cameron LNG JV project and has provided guarantees to certain third parties for the benefit of IMG, as we discuss in Note 4 above10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, dilutive RSUs may vary widely from period-to-period.

The potentially dilutive impact from stock options and RSUs is calculated under the treasury stock method. Under this method, proceeds based on the exercise price and unearned compensation are assumed to be used to repurchase shares on the open market at the average market price for the period, reducing the number of potential new shares to be issued and sometimes causing an antidilutive effect. The computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023 excludes 624,242 and 470,804 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, and the computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022 excludes no potentially dilutive shares and 230,752 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, because to include them would be antidilutive for the period. However, these shares could potentially dilute basic EPS in Note 4the future.
Pursuant to Sempra’s share-based compensation plans, the Compensation and Talent Development Committee of Sempra’s board of directors granted 326,574 nonqualified stock options, 661,620 performance-based RSUs and 272,729 service-based RSUs in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily in January.
We discuss share-based compensation plans and related awards and the terms and conditions of Sempra’s equity securities further in Notes 10, 13 and 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra, Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas record income taxes for interim periods utilizing a forecasted effective tax rateETR anticipated for the full year, as required by U.S. GAAP. The income tax effect ofyear. Unusual and infrequent items that can be reliably forecasted is factored into the forecasted effective tax rate, and the impact is recognized proportionately over the year. Itemsitems that cannot be reliably forecasted (e.g., foreign currency translation and inflation adjustments, remeasurement of deferred tax asset valuation allowances, income tax expense or benefit associated with the gain or loss on sale or impairment of a book investment, resolution of prior years’ income tax items, and certain impacts of regulatory matters)estimated are recorded in the interim period in which they actually occur, which can result in variability in the effective income tax rate.ETR.
For SDG&E and SoCalGas, the CPUC requires flow-through rate-making treatment for the current income tax benefit or expense arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences between the treatment for financial reporting and income tax, which will reverse over time. Under the regulatory accounting treatment required for these flow-through temporary differences, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are not recorded to deferred income tax expense, but rather to a regulatory asset or liability, which impacts the current effective income tax rate.ETR. As a result, changes in the relative size of these items compared to pretax income, from period to period, can cause variations in the effective income tax rate.ETR. The following items are subject to flow-through treatment:
repairs expenditures related to a certain portion of utility plant assets
the equity portion of AFUDC
a portion of the cost of removal of utility plant assets
utility self-developed software expenditures
depreciation on a certain portion of utility plant assets
state income taxes
The repairs expenditures related to a certain portion of utility plant fixed assets
the equity portion of AFUDC, which is non-taxable
a portion of the cost of removal of utility plant assets
utility self-developed software expenditures
depreciation on a certain portion of utility plant assets
state income taxes
AFUDC related to equity recorded for regulated construction projects at Sempra MexicoInfrastructure has similar flow-through treatment.
Sempra Energy’sUnder the IRA, beginning in 2023, the scope of projects eligible for investment tax credits was expanded to include standalone energy storage projects. The IRA also provided an election that prospectively permits investment tax credits related to standalone energy storage projects to be returned to utility customers over a period that is shorter than the life of the applicable asset. Under this election, SDG&E recorded a regulatory liability to offset these investment tax credits, which reduced SDG&E’s and Sempra’s ETR in 2023.

In April 2023, the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2023-15, which provides a safe harbor method of accounting for gas repairs expenditures. As a result of this Revenue Procedure, SoCalGas updated its assessment of prior years’ unrecognized income tax benefitbenefits and, in the threenine months ended September 30, 2017 compared2023, recorded an income tax benefit of $43 million for previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures. SoCalGas recorded an associated regulatory liability for the portion that will benefit customers in the future. We are assessing the potential future impacts of this Revenue Procedure.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized income tax expense of $120 million for a deferred income tax liability related to outside basis differences in our foreign subsidiaries that we had previously considered to be indefinitely reinvested.

As we discuss in Note 10 below and in Notes 6 and 144 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report and provide updates to those discussions and information about new regulatory matters below. With the 2016exception of regulatory balancing accounts, we generally do not earn a return on our regulatory assets until such time as a related cash expenditure has been made. Upon the occurrence of a cash expenditure associated with a regulatory asset, the related amounts are recoverable through a regulatory account mechanism for which we earn a return authorized by applicable regulators, which generally approximates the three-month commercial paper rate. The periods during which we recognize a regulatory asset while we do not earn a return vary by regulatory asset.

CPUC GRC FD issued by the
The CPUC in June 2016 requireduses GRCs to set revenues to allow SDG&E and SoCalGas to each establishrecover their reasonable operating costs and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investments.
In May 2022, SDG&E and SoCalGas filed their 2024 GRC applications requesting CPUC approval of test year revenue requirements for 2024 and attrition year adjustments for 2025 through 2027. SDG&E and SoCalGas requested revenue requirements for 2024 of $3.0 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively. SDG&E and SoCalGas proposed post-test year revenue requirement changes using various mechanisms that are estimated to result in annual increases of approximately 8% to 11% at SDG&E and approximately 6% to 8% at SoCalGas. Intervening parties have proposed various adjustments to SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ revenue requirement requests. In October 2022, the CPUC issued a two-way income tax expense memorandum accountscoping ruling that set a schedule for the proceeding, including the expected issuance of a proposed decision in the second quarter of 2024. The CPUC has authorized SDG&E and SoCalGas to track certain revenue variances resultingrecognize the effects of the GRC final decision retroactive to January 1, 2024. In October 2023, SDG&E submitted a separate request with the CPUC in its 2024 GRC describing $2.2 billion in costs to implement its wildfire mitigation plans from certain differences between2019 through 2022, and seeking review and recovery of the income tax expense forecastedincremental wildfire mitigation plan costs incurred during that period, totaling $1.5 billion. SDG&E expects to receive a proposed decision on this request in the second half of 2024. SDG&E also expects to submit in mid-2024 a separate request in its 2024 GRC for review and recovery of its wildfire mitigation plan costs incurred in 2023. The results of the GRC may materially and adversely differ from what is contained in the GRC applications.
CPUC Cost of Capital
The CPUC approved the following cost of capital for SDG&E and the income tax expense incurred from 2016 through 2018. The tracking accountsSoCalGas that became effective on January 1, 2023 and will remain open,in effect through December 31, 2025, subject to the CCM.

SDG&E files separately with the FERC for its authorized ROE on FERC-regulated electric transmission operations and assets. SDG&E’s currently effective TO5 settlement provides for a ROE of 10.60%, consisting of a base ROE of 10.10% plus an additional 50 bps for participation in the California ISO (the California ISO adder). If the FERC issues an order ruling that California IOUs are no longer eligible for the California ISO adder, SDG&E would refund the California ISO adder as of the refund effective date (June 1, 2019) if such a refund is determined to be required by the terms of the TO5 settlement. The TO5 term is effective June 1, 2019 GRC proceedings. and shall remain in effect until terminated by a notice provided at least six months before the end of the calendar year. Following such notice, SDG&E would file an updated rate request with an effective date of January 1 of the following year.

Cameron LNG JV
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Sempra Infrastructure contributed $11 million and $19 million, respectively, to Cameron LNG JV, and Cameron LNG JV distributed $339 million and $388 million, respectively, to Sempra Infrastructure.
Sempra Promissory Note for SDSRA Distribution
Cameron LNG JV’s debt agreements require Cameron LNG JV to maintain the SDSRA, which is an additional reserve account beyond the Senior Debt Service Accrual Account, where funds accumulate from operations to satisfy senior debt obligations due and payable on the next payment date. Both accounts can be funded with cash or authorized investments. In June 2021, Sempra Infrastructure received a distribution of $165 million based on its proportionate share of the SDSRA, for which Sempra provided a promissory note and letters of credit on these linesto secure a proportionate share of Cameron LNG JV’s obligation to fund the SDSRA. Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss is replenishment of the amount withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA, or $165 million. We recorded a guarantee liability of $22 million in June 2021, with an associated carrying value of $19 million at September 30, 20172023, for the fair value of the promissory note, which is being reduced over the duration of the guarantee through Sempra Infrastructure’s investment in Cameron LNG JV. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of Cameron LNG JV’s debt, scheduled to occur in 2039, or replenishment of the amount withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA.
Sempra Support Agreement for CFIN
In July 2020, CFIN entered into a financing arrangement with Cameron LNG JV’s four project owners and received aggregate proceeds of $1.5 billion from two project owners and from external lenders on behalf of the other two project owners (collectively, the affiliate loans), based on their proportionate ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV. CFIN used the proceeds from the affiliate loans to provide a loan to Cameron LNG JV. The affiliate loans mature in 2039. Principal and interest will be paid from Cameron LNG JV’s project cash flows from its three-train natural gas liquefaction facility. Cameron LNG JV used the proceeds from its loan to return equity to its project owners. Sempra used its $753 million share of the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.
Sempra Infrastructure’s $753 million proportionate share of the affiliate loans, based on SI Partners’ 50.2% ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV, was approximately $2.6 billion. Our foreign operations have additional general purposefunded by external lenders comprised of a syndicate of eight banks (the bank debt) to whom Sempra has provided a guarantee pursuant to a Support Agreement under which:
Sempra has severally guaranteed repayment of the bank debt plus accrued and unpaid interest if CFIN fails to pay the external lenders;
the external lenders may exercise an option to put the bank debt to Sempra Infrastructure upon the occurrence of certain events, including a failure by CFIN to meet its payment obligations under the bank debt;
the external lenders will put some or all of the bank debt to Sempra Infrastructure on the fifth, tenth, or fifteenth anniversary date of the affiliate loans, except the portion of the debt owed to any external lender that has elected not to participate in the put option six months prior to the respective anniversary date;
Sempra Infrastructure also has a right to call the bank debt back from, or to refinance the bank debt with, the external lenders at any time; and
the Support Agreement will terminate upon full repayment of the bank debt, including repayment following an event in which the bank debt is put to Sempra Infrastructure.
In exchange for this guarantee, the external lenders pay a guarantee fee that is based on the credit facilities aggregating $1.7 billionrating of Sempra’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt rating, which guarantee fee Sempra Infrastructure recognizes as interest income as earned. Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss is the bank debt plus any accrued and unpaid interest and related fees, subject to a liability cap of 130% of the bank debt, or $979 million. We measure the Support Agreement at fair value, net of related guarantee fees, on a recurring basis (see Note 8). At September 30, 2017. Available unused credit2023, the fair value of the Support Agreement was $18 million, of which $7 million is included in Other Current Assets and $11 million is included in Other Long-Term Assets on these lines totaled $844 million atSempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas each amended their respective credit facility to extend the expiration date from October 2027 to October 2028. Each credit facility will maintain a syndicate of 23 lenders through October 2027, at which time the syndicate of lenders for each credit facility will be reduced to 22 unless a new or existing lender agrees to assume the 23rd lender’s commitment. Such a reduction in lenders would result in a reduction to the available credit capacity to $3,845, $1,442 and $1,153 for Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively, through October 2028.

Uncommitted Line of Credit
ECA LNG Phase 1 has an uncommitted line of credit, which is generally used for working capital requirements, with an aggregate capacity of $200 million of which $37 million was outstanding at September 30, 2023. The amounts outstanding are before reductions of any unamortized discounts. Borrowings can be in U.S. dollars or Mexican pesos. At September 30, 2023, outstanding amounts were borrowed in Mexican pesos and bear interest at a variable rate based on the 28-day Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate plus 105 bps. In June 2023, the facility was amended to extend the expiration date to August 2024 and replace the London Interbank Offered Rate reference rate plus 105 bps with the SOFR reference rate plus 115 bps. As such, borrowings made in U.S. dollars bear interest at a variable rate based on the one-month or three-month SOFR plus 115 bps.

The first mortgage bonds are redeemable prior to maturity, subject to their terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SDG&E intends to use the net proceeds to finance or refinance investments in eligible projects that fall into one or more of the following categories: climate change adaptation, clean energy solutions and clean transportation.
SoCalGas
In May 2023, SoCalGas issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.20% first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on June 1, 2033 and received proceeds of $495 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $5 million), and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on June 1, 2053 and received proceeds of $493 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $7 million). Each series of first mortgage bonds is redeemable prior to maturity, subject to its terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SoCalGas used the net proceeds to repay its $300 million senior unsecured floating rate notes maturing on March 15, 2021. The floating rate notes bear interest atprior to their September 2023 scheduled maturity, a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 45 basis points. The interest rate is reset quarterly. Sempra Energy used a substantial portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding commercial paper with remaining proceeds used forits $800 million term loan and other general corporate purposes.
In June 2017, Sempra Energy publicly offered and sold $750 million of 3.25-percent, fixed rate notes maturing in 2027. Sempra Energy used the proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding commercial paper.

ECA LNG Phase 1
ECA LNG Phase 1 has a five-year loan agreement with a syndicate of seven external lenders that matures in December 2025 for an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.3 billion. IEnova and TotalEnergies SE have provided guarantees for repayment of the loans plus accrued and unpaid interest of 83.4% and 16.6%, respectively. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $782 million and $575 million, respectively, of borrowings from external lenders were outstanding under the offering to repay outstanding commercial paper.loan agreement, with a weighted-average interest rate of 8.35% and 7.54%, respectively.
Port Arthur LNG
In 2015, SDG&EMarch 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into a CPUC-approved 25-year PPAterm loan facility agreement with a peaker plant facility. Constructionsyndicate of lenders for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 billion. Proceeds from the loans will be used to finance the cost of construction of the peaker plant facility was completedPA LNG Phase 1 project. The loans mature on March 20, 2030 and deliverybear interest by reference to Term SOFR, plus the applicable margin and a credit adjustment spread. The applicable margin prior to completion of contracted power commencedthe PA LNG Phase 1 project (which occurs upon the satisfaction or waiver of a series of customary operational, technical, environmental and social and other tests and conditions that generally would not be fully met until after the commercial operations date) is 2.00% and on completion and thereafter is 2.25%. The principal amounts outstanding on the loans must be repaid in June 2017,quarterly installments, commencing on the earlier of (i) the first quarterly payment date occurring more than three calendar months following completion of the PA LNG Phase 1 project and (ii) April 20, 2029. Under the terms of the loan agreement, at which timeleast 60% of the projected outstanding balance is required to be hedged during construction and over the underlying 20-year notional amortization period. As we recorded a $500 million capital lease obligation on SDG&E’s and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We discuss commitments related to this capital lease obligation in Note 157, Port Arthur LNG entered into hedging instruments in satisfaction of this requirement in March 2023. An upfront equity funding amount of $4.7 billion is required to have been contributed to Port Arthur LNG for construction costs as a condition to the initial advance of term loans under the agreement (other than advances for fees, interest, expenses and certain other specified costs). Port Arthur LNG paid $200 million in debt issuance costs at closing. Additionally, the loan agreement and the related working capital facility agreement that we discuss above require payment of commitment fees calculated at a rate per annum equal to 30% of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements inapplicable margin for Term SOFR loans multiplied by the Annual Report.outstanding debt commitments, and additional administrative fees. At September 30, 2023, $243 million of borrowings were outstanding under the loan agreement, with an all-in weighted-average interest rate of 5.71%.

The amount of each commitment is based on each of SI Partners’ and ConocoPhillips’ proportionate indirect ownership interest in Port Arthur LNG of 70% and 30%, respectively, as of the March 2023 loan agreement. The obligation under these guarantees will be reduced as their respective affiliates fund their direct proportionate interest of capital calls. Such equity funding can be called upon by Port Arthur LNG to fund project costs or, upon the taking of an enforcement action under the terms of Port Arthur LNG’s finance documents, to pay its senior debt obligations.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We use derivative instruments primarily to manage exposures arising in the normal course of business. Our principal exposures are commodity market risk, benchmark interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate exposures. Our use of derivatives for these risks is integrated into the economic management of our anticipated revenues, anticipated expenses, assets and liabilities. Derivatives may be effective in mitigating these risks (1) that could lead to declines in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, or (2) that could cause our asset values mayto fall or our liabilities to increase. Accordingly, our derivative activity summarized below generally represents an impact that is intended to offset associated revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities that are not included in the tables below.
In certain cases, we apply the normal purchase or sale exception to derivative instruments and have other commodity contracts that are not derivatives. These contracts are not recorded at fair value and are therefore excluded from the disclosures below.
In all other cases, we record derivatives at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We designate each derivative asmay have derivatives that are (1) a cash flow hedge,hedges, (2) a fair value hedge,hedges, or (3) undesignated. Depending on the applicability of hedge accounting and, for the California UtilitiesSDG&E and SoCalGas and other operations subject to regulatory accounting, the requirement to pass impacts through to customers, the impact of derivative instruments may be offset in other comprehensive income (loss)OCI (cash flow hedge)hedges), on the balance sheet (fair value hedges and regulatory(regulatory offsets), or recognized in earnings.earnings (fair value hedges and undesignated derivatives not subject to rate recovery). We classify cash flows from the principal settlements of cross-currency swaps that hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt and amounts related to terminations or early settlements of interest rate swaps as financing activities and settlements of other derivative instruments as operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
HEDGE ACCOUNTING
We may designate a derivative as a cash flow hedging instrument if it effectively converts anticipated cash flows associated with revenues or expenses to a fixed dollar amount. We may utilize cash flow hedge accounting for derivative commodity instruments, foreign currency instruments and interest rate instruments. Designating cash flow hedges is dependent on the business context in which the instrument is being used, the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk that theof variability of future cash flows of a given revenue or expense item, may vary, and other criteria.
We may designate an interest rate derivative as a fair value hedging instrument if it effectively converts our own debt from a fixed interest rate to a variable rate. The combination of the derivative and debt instrument results in fixing that portion of the fair value of the debt that is related to benchmark interest rates. Designating fair value hedges is dependent on the instrument being used, the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting changes in the fair value of our debt instruments, and other criteria.
ENERGY DERIVATIVES
Our market risk is primarily related to natural gas and electricity price volatility and the specific physical locations where we transact. We use energy derivatives to manage these risks. The use of energy derivatives in our various businesses depends on the particular energy market, and the operating and regulatory environments applicable to the business, as follows:
The California Utilities use natural gas and electricity derivatives, for the benefit of customers, with the objective of managing price risk and basis risks, and stabilizing and lowering natural gas and electricity costs. These derivatives include fixed price natural gas and electricity positions, options, and basis risk instruments, which are either exchange-traded or over-the-counter financial instruments, or bilateral physical transactions. This activity is governed by risk management and transacting activity plans that have been
SDG&E and SoCalGas use natural gas derivatives and SDG&E uses electricity derivatives, for the benefit of customers, with the objective of managing price risk and basis risk, and stabilizing and lowering natural gas and electricity costs. These derivatives include fixed-price natural gas and electricity positions, options, and basis risk instruments, which are either exchange-traded or over-the-counter financial instruments, or bilateral physical transactions. This activity is governed by risk management and transacting activity plans limited by company policy. SDG&E’s risk management and transacting activity plans for electricity derivatives are also required to be filed with, and have been approved by, the CPUC. SoCalGas is also subject to certain regulatory requirements and thresholds related to natural gas procurement under the GCIM. Natural gas and electricity derivative activities are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and are recovered in rates. Net commodity cost impacts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are reflected in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power or in Cost of Natural Gas.
SDG&E is allocated and may purchase CRRs, which serve to reduce the regional electricity price volatility risk that may result from local transmission capacity constraints. Unrealized gains and losses do not impact earnings, as they are offset by regulatory account balances. Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Sempra Mexico, Sempra LNG & Midstream, and Sempra Renewables may use natural gas and electricity derivatives, as appropriate, to optimize the earnings of their assets which support the following businesses: LNG, natural gas transportation and storage, and power generation. Gains and losses associated with undesignated derivatives are recognized in Energy-Related Businesses Revenues or in Cost of Natural Gas, Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Certain of these derivatives may also be designated as cash flow hedges. Sempra Mexico may also use natural gas energy derivatives with the objective of managing price risk and lowering natural gas prices at its Mexican distribution

INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES
We are exposed to interest rates primarily as a result of our current and expected use of financing. The California Utilities,SDG&E and SoCalGas, as well as other Sempra Energyand its other subsidiaries and joint ventures,JVs, periodically enter into interest rate derivative agreements intended to moderate our exposure to interest rates and to lower our overall costs of borrowing. We may utilize interest rate swaps typically designated as fair value hedges, as a means to achieve our targeted level of variable rate debt as a percent of total debt. In addition, we may utilize interest rate swaps, typically designated as cash flow hedges, to lock in interest rates on outstanding debt or in anticipation of future financings. Separately, Otay Mesa VIE has
In December 2022, Sempra Infrastructure entered into an undesignated contingent interest rate swap agreements,to lock in interest rates on up to $3.5 billion of the variable rate indebtedness from anticipated future project-level debt financing that would be used to pay for construction costs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. The contingent interest rate swap had a 25-year tenor, and its settlement was conditional upon the closing of project-level debt financing with respect to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. In March 2023, we closed on the project-level debt financing and, shortly thereafter, paid $14 million to cash settle the contingent interest rate swap.
As we discuss in Note 6, a minimum of 60% of the projected amount of term loans outstanding is required to be hedged under the Port Arthur LNG term loan facility agreement. In March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with 17 counterparties to hedge the variability in cash flows related to the SOFR-based component of interest payments on forecasted loans outstanding under the agreement. The notional amounts of the interest rate swaps generally increase in proportion to the forecasted borrowings up to a maximum amount of $4.2 billion prior to the maturity of the term loans on March 20, 2030. Under the interest rate swaps, which are designated as cash flow hedges, to moderate its exposure toPort Arthur LNG receives interest at Term SOFR and pays interest at a fixed rate changes.of 3.23% based on amortizing notional amounts maturing in 2048.

FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES
We may utilize cross-currency swaps to hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt at our Mexican subsidiaries and joint ventures.JVs. These cash flow hedges exchange our Mexican peso-denominated principal and interest payments into the U.S. dollar and swap Mexican variablefixed interest rates for U.S. fixed interest rates. From time to time, Sempra MexicoInfrastructure and its joint venturesJVs may use other foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposures related to cash flows associated with revenues from contracts denominated in Mexican pesos that are indexed to the U.S. dollar.
We are also exposed to exchange rate movements at our Mexican subsidiaries and joint ventures,JVs, which have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that give rise to Mexican currency


exchange rate movements for Mexican income tax purposes. They also have deferred income tax assets and liabilities denominated in the Mexican peso, which must be translated to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. In addition, monetary assets and liabilities and certain nonmonetary assets and liabilities are adjusted for Mexican inflation for Mexican income tax purposes. We may utilize foreign currency derivatives as a means to manage the risk of exposure to significant fluctuations in our income tax expense and equity earnings from these impacts,impacts; however, we generally do not hedge our deferred income tax assets and liabilities or for inflation.
In addition, Sempra South American Utilities and its joint ventures use foreign currency derivatives to manage foreign currency rate risk. We discuss these derivatives at Chilquinta Energía’s Eletrans joint venture investment in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

(1)Amounts include Otay Mesa VIE. All of SDG&E’s interest rate derivative activity relates to Otay Mesa VIE.
(2)There was $2 million and $4 million of losses from hedge ineffectiveness related to these cash flow hedges in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and negligible amounts for the same periods in 2016.
(3)There was negligible hedge ineffectiveness related to these cash flow hedges in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

For Sempra, Energy Consolidated, we expect that net gains before NCI of $5$48 million, which are net of income tax expense, that are currently recorded in AOCI (including $11(with net gains of $22 million of losses in noncontrolling interest relatedattributable to Otay Mesa VIE at SDG&E)NCI) related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve12 months as the hedged items affect earnings. SoCalGas expects that negligible$1 million of losses, net of income tax benefit, that are currently recorded in AOCI related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve12 months as the hedged items affect earnings. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified into earnings depend on the interest rates in effect when derivative contracts mature.
For all forecasted transactions, the maximum remaining term over which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at September 30, 20172023 is approximately 14 years and 224 years for Sempra Energy Consolidated and SDG&E, respectively.Sempra. The maximum remaining term for which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at our equity method investees is 1816 years.

CREDIT RISK RELATED CONTINGENT FEATURES
For Sempra, Energy ConsolidatedSDG&E and SDG&E,SoCalGas, certain of our derivative instruments contain credit limits which vary depending on our credit ratings. Generally, these provisions, if applicable, may reduce our credit limit if a specified credit rating agency reduces our ratings. In certain cases, if our credit ratings were to fall below investment grade, the counterparty to these derivative liability instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full collateralization.
For Sempra, Energy Consolidated, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position at September 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016 is $32022 was $160 million and $10$106 million, respectively. For SoCalGas, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $157 million and $69 million, respectively. SDG&E did not have this group of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2017,2023, if the credit ratings of Sempra Energyor SoCalGas were reduced below investment grade, $4$160 million and $157 million, respectively, of additional assets could be required to be posted as collateral for these derivative contracts.
For SDG&E, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position is negligible at both September 30, 2017 andDecember 31, 2016. At September 30, 2017, if the credit ratings of SDG&E were reduced below investment grade, $1 million of additional assets could be required to be posted as collateral for these derivative contracts.
For Sempra, Energy Consolidated, SDG&E and SoCalGas, some of our derivative contracts contain a provision that would permit the counterparty, in certain circumstances, to request adequate assurance of our performance under the contracts. Such additional assurance, if needed, is not material and is not included in the amounts above.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We discuss the valuation techniques and inputs we use to measure fair value and the definition of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASURES
The three tables below, by level within the fair value hierarchy, set forth our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016.2022. We classify financial assets and liabilities in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair valuefair-valued assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. hierarchy. We have not changed the valuation techniques or types of inputs we use to measure recurring fair value during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.since December 31, 2022.
The fair value of commodity derivative assets and liabilities is presented in accordance with our netting policy, as we discuss in Note 7 under “Financial Statement Presentation.”
The determination of fair values, shown in the tables below, incorporates various factors, including but not limited to, the credit standing of the counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements (such as cash deposits, letters of credit and priority interests).
Our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 in the tables below include the following:
Nuclear decommissioning trusts reflect the assets of SDG&E’s NDT, excluding cash balances. A third party trustee values the trust assets using prices from a pricing service based on a market approach. We validate these prices by comparison to prices from other independent data sources. Securities are valued using quoted prices listed on nationally recognized securities exchanges or based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1). Other securities are valued based on yields that are currently available for comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings (Level 2).
For commodity contracts, interest rate derivatives
Nuclear decommissioning trusts reflect the assets of SDG&E’s NDT, excluding accounts receivable and accounts payable. A third-party trustee values the trust assets using prices from a pricing service based on a market approach. We validate these prices by comparison to prices from other independent data sources. Securities are valued using quoted prices listed on nationally recognized securities exchanges or based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1). Other securities are valued based on yields that are currently available for comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings (Level 2).
For commodity contracts, interest rate instruments and foreign exchange instruments, we primarily use a market or income approach with market participant assumptions to value these derivatives. Market participant assumptions include those about risk, and the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation techniques. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. We have exchange-traded derivatives that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for the identical instruments (Level 1). We also may have other commodity derivatives that are valued using industry standard models that consider quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, volatility factors, and other relevant economic measures (Level 2). Level 3 recurring items relate to CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions at SDG&E, as we discuss below in “Level 3 Information.”
Rabbi Trust investments include marketable securities that we value using a market approach based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1). These investments in marketable securities were negligible at both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 for Sempra Energy Consolidated,recurring items relate to CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions at SDG&E, or SoCalGas duringas we discuss below in “Level 3 Information – SDG&E.”
Rabbi Trust investments include short-term investments that consist of money market and mutual funds that we value using a market approach based on closing prices reported in the periods presented.active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1).


As we discuss in Note 5, in July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN. We measure the Support Agreement, which includes a guarantee obligation, a put option and a call option, net of related guarantee fees, at fair value on a recurring basis. We use a discounted cash flow model to value the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees. Because some of the inputs that are significant to the valuation are less observable, the Support Agreement is classified as Level 3, as we describe below in “Level 3 Information – Sempra Infrastructure.”

SDG&E’s Energy and Fuel Procurement department, in conjunction with SDG&E’s finance group, is responsible for determining the appropriate fair value methodologies used to value and classify CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions on an ongoing basis.
71

Table of Contents
Inputs used to determine the fair value of CRRs and fixed-price electricity positions are reviewed and compared with market conditions to determine reasonableness. SDG&E expects all costs related to these instruments to be recoverable through customer rates. As such, there is no impact to earnings from changes in the fair value of these instruments.
CRRs are recorded at fair value based almost entirely on the most current auction prices published by the CAISO,California ISO, an objective source. Annual auction prices are published once a year, typically in the middle of November, and are the basis for valuation forvaluing CRRs settling in the following year. For the CRRs settling from January 1 to December 31, the auction price inputs, at a given location, were in the following ranges for the years indicated below:
CONGESTION REVENUE RIGHTS AUCTION PRICE INPUTS
Settlement yearPrice per MWhMedian price per MWh
2023$(3.09)to$10.71 $(0.56)
2022(3.67)to6.96 (0.70)
The impact associated with discounting is negligible.not significant. Because these auction prices are a less observable input, these instruments are classified as Level 3. The fair value of these instruments is derived from auction price differences between two locations. For CRRs settling from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017, the auction price inputs ranged from $(12) per MWh to $7 per MWh at a


given location, and for CRRs settling from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016, the auction price inputs ranged from $(24) per MWh to $10 per MWh at a given location. Positive values between two locations represent expected future reductions in congestion costs, whereas negative values between two locations represent expected future charges. Valuation of our CRRs is sensitive to a change in auction price. If auction prices at one location increase (decrease) relative to another location, this could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. We summarize CRR volumes in Note 7.
Long-term, fixed-price electricity positions in 2022 that arewere valued using significant unobservable data arewere classified as Level 3 because the contract terms relaterelated to a delivery location or tenor for which observable market rate information iswas not available. The fair value of the net electricity positions classified as Level 3 iswas derived from a discounted cash flow model using market electricity forward price inputs. TheseThe range and weighted-average price of these inputs range from $21.35 per MWh to $48.97 per MWh at September 30, 2017. A significant increase or decrease in market electricity forward prices would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value,2022 were $26.75 to $127.20 and $68.50, respectively. We summarize long-term, fixed-price electricity position volumes in Note 7.
Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions, which are includedrecoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. UnrealizedBecause unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities, and thereforethey do not affect earnings.

Table of Contents
The fair value of the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is based on a discounted cash flow model using a probability of default and survival methodology. Our estimate of fair value considers inputs such as third-party default rates, credit ratings, recovery rates, and risk-adjusted discount rates, which may be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. Because CFIN’s credit rating and related default and survival rates are unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation, the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is classified as Level 3. We assigned CFIN an internally developed credit rating of A3 and relied on default rate data published by Moody’s to assign a probability of default. A hypothetical change in the credit rating up or down one notch could result in a significant change in the fair value of the Support Agreement.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values of certain of our financial instruments (cash, temporary investments, accounts and notes receivable, short-term amounts due to/from unconsolidated affiliates with original maturities of less than 90 days, dividends and accounts payable, short-term debt and customer deposits) approximate their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investments in life insurance contracts that we hold in support of our Supplemental Executive Retirement, Cash Balance Restoration and Deferred Compensation Plans are carried at cash surrender values, which represent the amount of cash that could be realized under the contracts. The following table provides the carrying amounts and fair values of certain other financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance SheetsSheets.

We determine the fair value of certain long-term amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and long-term debt based on a market approach using quoted market prices for identical or similar securities in thinly-traded markets (Level 2). We value certain other long-term amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates using a perpetuity approach based on the obligation’s fixed interest rate, the absence of a stated maturity date and a discount rate reflecting local borrowing costs (Level 3). We value other long-term debt using an income approach based on the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at rates available for similar securities (Level 3).
We provide the fair values for the securities held in the NDT related to SONGS in Note 9.
NON-RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASURES
TdM
In February 2016, management approved a plan to market and sell Sempra Mexico’s TdM, a natural gas-fired power plant, and classified it as held for sale on the Sempra Energy Consolidated Balance Sheet, as we discuss in Note 3 above and in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. In connection with the sales process, Sempra Mexico received a purchase price offer resulting from negotiations with an active market participant. This market information indicated that the fair value of TdM was lower than its carrying value at June 30, 2017. As a result, in the second quarter of 2017, Sempra Mexico further reduced the carrying value of TdM by recognizing a noncash impairment charge of $71 million, recorded in Other Impairment Losses on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The purchase price offer is considered to be a Level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy, as it represents an observable pricing input.
The following table summarizes significant inputs impacting this non-recurring fair value measure:

NOTE 9. SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
We provide below updates to ongoing matters related to SONGS, a nuclear generating facility near San Clemente, California that permanently ceased operations in June 2013, and in which SDG&E has a 20-percent20% ownership interest. We discuss SONGS further in Note 1315 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
REPLACEMENT STEAM GENERATORS
As part of the Steam Generator Replacement Project, the steam generators were replaced in SONGS Units 2 and 3, and the Units returned to service in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Both Units were shut down in early 2012 after a water leak occurred in the Unit 3 steam generator. Edison, the majority owner and operator of SONGS, concluded that the leak was due to unexpected wear from tube-to-tube contact. At the time the leak was identified, Edison also inspected and tested Unit 2 and subsequently found unexpected tube wear in Unit 2’s steam generator. These issues with the steam generators ultimately resulted in Edison’s decision to permanently retire SONGS in June 2013.
The replacement steam generators were designed and provided by MHI. In July 2013, SDG&E filed a lawsuit against MHI seeking to recover damages SDG&E has incurred and will incur related to the design defects in the steam generators. In October 2013, Edison instituted arbitration proceedings against MHI seeking recovery of damages. The other SONGS co-owners, SDG&E and the City of Riverside, participated as claimants and respondents.
On March 13, 2017, the Tribunal overseeing the arbitration found MHI liable for breach of contract, subject to a contractual limitation of liability, and rejected claimants’ other claims. The Tribunal awarded $118 million in damages to the SONGS co-owners, but determined that MHI was the prevailing party and awarded it 95 percent of its arbitration costs. The damage award is offset by these costs, resulting in a net award of approximately $60 million in favor of the SONGS co-owners. SDG&E’s specific allocation of the


damage award is $24 million reduced by costs awarded to MHI of approximately $12 million, resulting in a net damage award of $12 million, which was paid by MHI to SDG&E in March 2017. These amounts include certain adjustments to calculations supporting the Tribunal’s findings. In accordance with the Amended Settlement Agreement discussed below, which may be modified or set aside, SDG&E recorded the proceeds from the MHI arbitration by reducing Operation and Maintenance for previously incurred legal costs of $11 million, and shared the remaining $1 million equally between ratepayers and shareholders.
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT TO RESOLVE THE CPUC’S ORDER INSTITUTING INVESTIGATION INTO THE SONGS OUTAGE
In November 2012, in response to the outage, the CPUC issued the SONGS OII, which was intended to determine the ultimate recovery of the investment in SONGS and the costs incurred since the commencement of this outage.
In November 2014, the CPUC issued a final decision approving an Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement (Amended Settlement Agreement) in the SONGS OII proceeding executed by SDG&E along with Edison, TURN, ORA and two other intervenors. The Amended Settlement Agreement does not affect ongoing or future proceedings before the NRC, or any litigation or arbitration related to potential future recoveries from third parties (except for the allocation to ratepayers of any recoveries addressed in the final decision) or any proceedings addressing decommissioning activities and costs. We describe the terms and provisions of the Amended Settlement Agreement in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
In May 2016, following the filing of petitions for modification by various parties, the CPUC issued a procedural ruling reopening the record of the OII to address the issue of whether the Amended Settlement Agreement is reasonable and in the public interest.
In December 2016, the CPUC issued another procedural ruling directing parties to the SONGS OII to determine whether an agreement could be reached to modify the Amended Settlement Agreement previously approved by the CPUC, to resolve allegations that unreported ex parte communications between Edison and the CPUC resulted in an unfair advantage at the time the settlement agreement was negotiated. Pursuant to the December ruling and a subsequent procedural ruling, the parties met to confer, engaged a mediator and held confidential mediation discussions in June, July and August of 2017.
In August 2017, the parties filed status reports providing their recommendations for resolving the OII given their unsuccessful efforts at reaching a settlement through mediation. SDG&E and Edison recommend that the Amended Settlement Agreement, as adopted by the CPUC, should be affirmed and the pending intervenor petitions dismissed. Intervening parties recommend various alternative courses of action, including modifying the Amended Settlement Agreement or rejecting it in favor of litigation. In October 2017, the CPUC issued a ruling establishing a process to bring the proceeding to a conclusion. This ruling establishes a status conference and includes a preliminary schedule for additional testimony, hearings and briefings. The CPUC has not announced the expected timing for a decision. The ruling indicates that the record is adequate to allow the CPUC to determine whether the Amended Settlement Agreement should be reaffirmed. The ruling also provides for an expedited process to further develop the record in the event that the CPUC ultimately decides not to reaffirm the Amended Settlement Agreement, and instead determines a different allocation of costs to ratepayers as a result of the premature shutdown of SONGS Units 2 and 3.
There is no assurance that the Amended Settlement Agreement will not be modified or set aside as a result of the OII proceeding, which could result in a substantial reduction in our expected recovery or in payments to customers. These outcomes could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s and SDG&E’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Accounting and Financial Impacts
Through September 30, 2017, the cumulative after-tax loss from plant closure recorded by Sempra Energy and SDG&E is $125 million. The remaining regulatory asset for the expected recovery of SONGS costs, consistent with the Amended Settlement Agreement, is $158 million ($35 million current and $123 million long-term) at September 30, 2017. The amortization period prescribed for the regulatory asset is 10 years, ending in January 2022.

In December 2016, Edison announced that, following a 10-month competitive bid process, it had contracted with a joint venture of AECOM and EnergySolutions (knownthe California ISO adder, SDG&E would refund the California ISO adder as SONGS Decommissioning Solutions) as the general contractor to complete the dismantlement of SONGS. The majority of the dismantlement workrefund effective date (June 1, 2019) if such a refund is expecteddetermined to take 10 years. SDG&E is responsible for approximately 20 percentbe required by the terms of the total contract price.
In accordance with stateTO5 settlement. The TO5 term is effective June 1, 2019 and federal requirements and regulations,shall remain in effect until terminated by a notice provided at least six months before the end of the calendar year. Following such notice, SDG&E has assets held in the NDT to fund its sharewould file an updated rate request with an effective date of decommissioning costs for SONGS UnitsJanuary 1 2 and 3. The amounts collected in rates for SONGS’ decommissioning are invested in the


NDT, which is comprised of externally managed trust funds. Amounts held by the NDT are invested in accordance with CPUC regulations. The NDT assets are presented on the Sempra Energy and SDG&E Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with the offsetting credits recorded in Regulatory Liabilities Arising from Removal Obligations.
In April 2016, the CPUC adopted a decision approving a total decommissioning cost estimate for SONGS Units 2 and 3 of $4.4 billion (in 2014 dollars), of which SDG&E’s share is $899 million. Except for the use of funds for the planning of decommissioning activities or NDT administrative costs, CPUC approval is required for SDG&E to access the NDT assets to fund SONGS decommissioning costs for Units 2 and 3. SDG&E has received authorization from the CPUC to access NDT funds of up to $302 million for 2013 through 2017 (2017 forecasted) SONGS decommissioning costs. This includes up to $84 million authorized by the CPUC in February 2017 to be withdrawn from the NDT for forecasted 2017 SONGS Units 2 and 3 costs as decommissioning costs are incurred.
In December 2016, the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued proposed regulations that clarify the definition of “nuclear decommissioning costs,” which are costs that may be paid for or reimbursed from a qualified trust fund. The proposed regulations state that costs related to the construction and maintenance of independent spent fuel management installations are included in the definition of “nuclear decommissioning costs.” The proposed regulations will be effective prospectively once they are finalized; however, the IRS has stated that it will not challenge taxpayer positions consistent with the proposed regulations for taxable years ending on or after the date the proposed regulations were issued. SDG&E is seeking further clarification of the proposed regulations to confirm that the proposed regulations will allow SDG&E to access the NDT funds for reimbursement or payment of the spent fuel management costs that were or will be incurred in 2016 and subsequent years. Further clarification of the proposed regulations could enable SDG&E to access the NDT to recover spent fuel management costs before Edison reaches final settlement with the DOE regarding the DOE’s reimbursement of these costs. Historically, the DOE’s reimbursements of spent fuel storage costs have not resulted in timely or complete recovery of these costs. We discuss the DOE’s responsibility for spent nuclear fuel in Note 11. It is unclear when clarification of the proposed regulations might be provided or when the proposed regulations will be finalized.following year.

We determine the cost of securities in the trusts on the basis of specific identification. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, sale and purchase activities in our NDT increased significantly compared to the same period in 2016 as a result of continuing changes to our asset allocations initiated in the fourth quarter of 2016 to reduce our equity volatility, lower our duration risk, and increase exposure to municipal bonds and intermediate credit. This shift in our asset mix is intended to reduce the overall risk profile of the NDT in anticipation of significant cash withdrawals over the next 10 years to fund the SONGS decommissioning.

SEMPRA INFRASTRUCTURE
Cameron LNG JV
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Sempra Infrastructure contributed $11 million and $19 million, respectively, to Cameron LNG JV, and Cameron LNG JV distributed $339 million and $388 million, respectively, to Sempra Infrastructure.
Sempra Promissory Note for SDSRA Distribution
Cameron LNG JV’s debt agreements require Cameron LNG JV to maintain the SDSRA, which is an increaseadditional reserve account beyond the Senior Debt Service Accrual Account, where funds accumulate from operations to satisfy senior debt obligations due and payable on the next payment date. Both accounts can be funded with cash or authorized investments. In June 2021, Sempra Infrastructure received a distribution of $218$165 million based on its proportionate share of the SDSRA, for which Sempra provided a promissory note and letters of credit to secure a proportionate share of Cameron LNG JV’s obligation to fund the SDSRA. Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss is replenishment of the amount withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA, or $165 million. We recorded a guarantee liability of $22 million in June 2021, with an associated carrying value of $19 million at September 30, 2023, for the fair value of the promissory note, which is being reduced over the duration of the guarantee through Sempra Infrastructure’s investment in Cameron LNG JV. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of Cameron LNG JV’s debt, scheduled to occur in 2039, or replenishment of the amount withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA.
Sempra Support Agreement for CFIN
In July 2020, CFIN entered into a financing arrangement with Cameron LNG JV’s four project owners and received aggregate proceeds of $1.5 billion from two project owners and from external lenders on behalf of the other two project owners (collectively, the affiliate loans), based on their proportionate ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV. CFIN used the proceeds from the affiliate loans to provide a loan to Cameron LNG JV. The affiliate loans mature in 2039. Principal and interest will be paid from Cameron LNG JV’s project cash flows from its three-train natural gas liquefaction facility. Cameron LNG JV used the proceeds from its loan to return equity to its project owners. Sempra used its $753 million share of the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.
Sempra Infrastructure’s $753 million proportionate share of the affiliate loans, based on SI Partners’ 50.2% ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV, was funded by external lenders comprised of a syndicate of eight banks (the bank debt) to whom Sempra has provided a guarantee pursuant to a Support Agreement under which:
Sempra has severally guaranteed repayment of the bank debt plus accrued and unpaid interest if CFIN fails to pay the external lenders;
the external lenders may exercise an option to put the bank debt to Sempra Infrastructure upon the occurrence of certain events, including a failure by CFIN to meet its payment obligations under the bank debt;
the external lenders will put some or all of the bank debt to Sempra Infrastructure on the fifth, tenth, or fifteenth anniversary date of the affiliate loans, except the portion of the debt owed to any external lender that has elected not to participate in the put option six months prior to the respective anniversary date;
Sempra Infrastructure also has a right to call the bank debt back from, or to refinance the bank debt with, the external lenders at any time; and
the Support Agreement will terminate upon full repayment of the bank debt, including repayment following an event in which the bank debt is put to Sempra Infrastructure.
In exchange for this guarantee, the external lenders pay a guarantee fee that is based on the credit rating of Sempra’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt rating, which guarantee fee Sempra Infrastructure recognizes as interest income as earned. Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss is the bank debt plus any accrued and unpaid interest and related fees, subject to a liability cap of 130% of the bank debt, or $979 million. We measure the Support Agreement at fair value, net of related guarantee fees, on a recurring basis (see Note 8). At September 30, 2023, the fair value of the Support Agreement was $18 million, of which $7 million is included in Other Current Assets and $11 million is included in Other Long-Term Assets on Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
TAG
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, TAG distributed $36 million and $480$32 million, over their respective estimated 2018 revenue requirements.

As part of the 2019 GRC, the CPUC will review the California Utilities’ interim accountability reports which compare the authorized and actual spending for certain safety-related activities for 2014 through 2016. In June 2017, SDG&E and SoCalGas filed their first interim accountability reports comparing authorized and actual spending in 2014 and 2015 for certain safety-related activities. Similar data for 2016 was provided with the 2019 GRC filings in a second interim accountability report. The stated purpose of the interim accountability reports is to provide data and metrics for key safety and risk mitigation areas that will be considered in the 2019 GRC.
NOTE 6. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES
The resultsprincipal terms of the rate case may materiallyour debt arrangements are described below and adversely differ from what is contained in the GRC applications.
Risk Assessment Mitigation Phase Reporting and Impact on the 2019 GRC Filings
In December 2014, the CPUC issued a decision incorporating a risk-based decision-making framework into all future GRC application filings for major natural gas and electric utilities in California. The framework is intended to assist in assessing safety risks and the utilities’ plans to help ensure that such risks are adequately addressed. In advance of filing the California Utilities’ 2019 GRC applications discussed above, two proceedings occurred: the Safety Model Assessment Proceeding and the RAMP. In the Safety Model Assessment Proceeding, the California Utilities demonstrated the models used to prioritize and mitigate risks in order for the CPUC to establish guidelines and standards for these models.


In November 2016, as part of the new framework, SDG&E and SoCalGas filed their first RAMP report presenting a comprehensive assessment of their key safety risks and proposed activities for mitigating such risks. The report details these key safety risks, which include critical operational issues such as natural gas pipeline safety and wildfire safety, and addresses their classification, scoring, mitigation, alternatives, safety culture, quantitative analysis, data collection and lessons learned.
In March 2017, the CPUC’s Safety and Enforcement Division issued its evaluation report providing generally favorable feedback on the California Utilities’ RAMP report, but recommending more detailed analysis of the risks the California Utilities presented in the report. The new GRC framework does not require the CPUC to adopt the RAMP report. However, SDG&E and SoCalGas included funding requests in their respective 2019 GRC filings for proposed projects or activities outlined in their RAMP reports.
Senate Bill 549. In September 2017, SB 549 was signed into law, requiring that SDG&E and SoCalGas (as electric and gas corporations) annually notify the CPUC when revenue authorized by the CPUC for maintenance, safety or reliability is redirected to other purposes. This requirement is effective beginning January 1, 2018. The form of this reporting is not yet defined by the CPUC, though it could be incorporated into an ongoing proceeding or report otherwise required to be submitted to the CPUC.
2016 General Rate Case
In June 2016, the CPUC issued the 2016 GRC FD, the details of which are discussed in Note 147 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. The 2016 GRC FD was effective retroactive
SHORT-TERM DEBT
Committed Lines of Credit
At September 30, 2023, Sempra had an aggregate capacity of $9.9 billion under seven primary committed lines of credit, which provide liquidity and support commercial paper programs. Because our commercial paper programs are supported by some of these lines of credit, we reflect the amount of commercial paper outstanding, before reductions of any unamortized discounts, and any letters of credit outstanding as a reduction to January 1, 2016.
The 2016 GRC FD required the establishment of two-way income tax expense memorandum accounts to track any revenue variances resulting from certain differences between the income tax expense forecastedavailable unused credit capacity in the GRC and the income tax expense incurred byfollowing table.

(1)    In October 2023, Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each amended their respective credit facility to extend the expiration date from 2016October 2027 to October 2028. Each credit facility will maintain a syndicate of 23 lenders through 2018.October 2027, at which time the syndicate of lenders for each credit facility will be reduced to 22 unless a new or existing lender agrees to assume the 23rd lender’s commitment. Such a reduction in lenders would result in a reduction to the available credit capacity to $3,845, $1,442 and $1,153 for Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively, through October 2028.
(2)    In September 2023, the $150 facility was terminated and the $350 facility was amended to increase the commitment to $500, adjust the applicable margin to 80 bps (including credit adjustment spread), and extend the expiration date from September 2023 to September 2025.
(3)    In August 2023, the facility was amended to include IEnova as a co-borrower, adjust the Term SOFR credit adjustment spread to 10 bps in all tenors, and extend the expiration date from November 2024 to August 2026. Additionally, either SI Partners or IEnova has the right to increase the total facility to $1,500, subject to lender approval.
(4)    In August 2023, the facility was amended to extend the expiration date from February 2024 to August 2028.

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each must maintain a ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in each of the applicable credit facilities) of no more than 65% at the end of each quarter. At September 30, 2023, each entity was in compliance with this ratio under its respective credit facility.
SI Partners must maintain a ratio of consolidated adjusted net indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as defined in each of the applicable credit facilities) of no more than 5.25 to 1.00 at the end of each quarter. At September 30, 2023, SI Partners was in compliance with this ratio.
In March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into a seven-year initial working capital facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders expiring in March 2030. The variancescredit facility permits borrowings of up to $200 million, which bear interest by reference to Term SOFR, plus the applicable margin and a credit adjustment spread. The credit facility also provides for the issuance of up to $200 million of letters of credit.

Uncommitted Line of Credit
ECA LNG Phase 1 has an uncommitted line of credit, which is generally used for working capital requirements, with an aggregate capacity of $200 million of which $37 million was outstanding at September 30, 2023. The amounts outstanding are before reductions of any unamortized discounts. Borrowings can be tracked include tax expense differences relating to:in U.S. dollars or Mexican pesos. At September 30, 2023, outstanding amounts were borrowed in Mexican pesos and bear interest at a variable rate based on the 28-day Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate plus 105 bps. In June 2023, the facility was amended to extend the expiration date to August 2024 and replace the London Interbank Offered Rate reference rate plus 105 bps with the SOFR reference rate plus 115 bps. As such, borrowings made in U.S. dollars bear interest at a variable rate based on the one-month or three-month SOFR plus 115 bps.
Uncommitted Letters of Credit
Outside of our domestic and foreign credit facilities, we have bilateral unsecured standby letter of credit capacity with select lenders that is uncommitted and supported by reimbursement agreements. At September 30, 2023, we had $508 million in standby letters of credit outstanding under these agreements.

Sempra Infrastructure
ECA LNG Phase 1
ECA LNG Phase 1 has a five-year loan agreement with a syndicate of seven external lenders that matures in December 2025 for an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.3 billion. IEnova and TotalEnergies SE have provided guarantees for repayment of the GRC proceedingsloans plus accrued and the income tax expense incurred.unpaid interest of 83.4% and 16.6%, respectively. At September 30, 2017, the recorded regulatory liability associated with these tracked amounts totaled $452023 and December 31, 2022, $782 million and $58$575 million, respectively, of borrowings from external lenders were outstanding under the loan agreement, with a weighted-average interest rate of 8.35% and 7.54%, respectively.
Port Arthur LNG
In March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into a term loan facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 billion. Proceeds from the loans will be used to finance the cost of construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. The loans mature on March 20, 2030 and bear interest by reference to Term SOFR, plus the applicable margin and a credit adjustment spread. The applicable margin prior to completion of the PA LNG Phase 1 project (which occurs upon the satisfaction or waiver of a series of customary operational, technical, environmental and social and other tests and conditions that generally would not be fully met until after the commercial operations date) is 2.00% and on completion and thereafter is 2.25%. The principal amounts outstanding on the loans must be repaid in quarterly installments, commencing on the earlier of (i) the first quarterly payment date occurring more than three calendar months following completion of the PA LNG Phase 1 project and (ii) April 20, 2029. Under the terms of the loan agreement, at least 60% of the projected outstanding balance is required to be hedged during construction and over the underlying 20-year notional amortization period. As we discuss in Note 7, Port Arthur LNG entered into hedging instruments in satisfaction of this requirement in March 2023. An upfront equity funding amount of $4.7 billion is required to have been contributed to Port Arthur LNG for construction costs as a condition to the initial advance of term loans under the agreement (other than advances for fees, interest, expenses and certain other specified costs). Port Arthur LNG paid $200 million in debt issuance costs at closing. Additionally, the loan agreement and the related working capital facility agreement that we discuss above require payment of commitment fees calculated at a rate per annum equal to 30% of the applicable margin for Term SOFR loans multiplied by the outstanding debt commitments, and additional administrative fees. At September 30, 2023, $243 million of borrowings were outstanding under the loan agreement, with an all-in weighted-average interest rate of 5.71%.
59

In connection with this loan agreement, SI Partners and ConocoPhillips have collectively provided commitments for approximately $2.8 billion in equity funding for the benefit of Port Arthur LNG for their respective affiliate’s share of the equity funding of anticipated construction costs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project in excess of the upfront equity funding amount of $4.7 billion. The amount of each commitment is based on each of SI Partners’ and ConocoPhillips’ proportionate indirect ownership interest in Port Arthur LNG of 70% and 30%, respectively, as of the March 2023 loan agreement. The obligation under these guarantees will be reduced as their respective affiliates fund their direct proportionate interest of capital calls. Such equity funding can be called upon by Port Arthur LNG to fund project costs or, upon the taking of an enforcement action under the terms of Port Arthur LNG’s finance documents, to pay its senior debt obligations.
The pari passu secured obligations under the related finance documents are secured by a first priority lien (subject to customary permitted encumbrances) in substantially all of the assets of Port Arthur LNG, including the equity interests in, and real property

We use derivative instruments primarily to manage exposures arising in the normal course of business. Our principal exposures are commodity market risk, benchmark interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate exposures. Our use of derivatives for these risks is integrated into the economic management of our anticipated revenues, anticipated expenses, assets and liabilities. Derivatives may be effective in mitigating these risks (1) that could lead to declines in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, or (2) that could cause our asset values to fall or our liabilities to increase. Accordingly, our derivative activity summarized below generally represents an impact that is intended to offset associated revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities that are not included in the tables below.
In certain cases, we apply the normal purchase or sale exception to derivative instruments and have other commodity contracts that are not derivatives. These contracts are not recorded at fair value and are therefore excluded from the disclosures below.
In all other cases, we record derivatives at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We may have derivatives that are (1) cash flow hedges, (2) fair value hedges, or (3) undesignated. Depending on the applicability of hedge accounting and, for SDG&E and SoCalGas respectively. The recorded liabilityand other operations subject to regulatory accounting, the requirement to pass impacts through to customers, the impact of derivative instruments may be offset in OCI (cash flow hedges), on the balance sheet (regulatory offsets), or recognized in earnings (fair value hedges and undesignated derivatives not subject to rate recovery). We classify cash flows from the principal settlements of cross-currency swaps that hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt and amounts related to terminations or early settlements of interest rate swaps as financing activities and settlements of other derivative instruments as operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
HEDGE ACCOUNTING
We may designate a derivative as a cash flow hedging instrument if it effectively converts anticipated cash flows associated with revenues or expenses to a fixed dollar amount. We may utilize cash flow hedge accounting for derivative commodity instruments, foreign currency instruments and interest rate instruments. Designating cash flow hedges is dependent on the business context in which the instrument is being used, the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk of variability of future cash flows of a given revenue or expense item, and other criteria.
ENERGY DERIVATIVES
Our market risk is primarily related to natural gas and electricity price volatility and the specific physical locations where we transact. We use energy derivatives to manage these risks. The use of energy derivatives in our various businesses depends on the particular energy market, and the operating and regulatory environments applicable to the business, as follows:
SDG&E and SoCalGas use natural gas derivatives and SDG&E uses electricity derivatives, for the benefit of customers, with the objective of managing price risk and basis risk, and stabilizing and lowering natural gas and electricity costs. These derivatives include fixed-price natural gas and electricity positions, options, and basis risk instruments, which are either exchange-traded or over-the-counter financial instruments, or bilateral physical transactions. This activity is governed by risk management and transacting activity plans limited by company policy. SDG&E’s risk management and transacting activity plans for electricity derivatives are also required to be filed with, and have been approved by, the CPUC. SoCalGas is also subject to certain regulatory requirements and thresholds related to natural gas procurement under the GCIM. Natural gas and electricity derivative activities are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and are recovered
60

in rates. Net commodity cost impacts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are reflected in Cost of Natural Gas or in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power.
SDG&E is allocated and may purchase CRRs, which serve to reduce the regional electricity price volatility risk that may result from local transmission capacity constraints. Unrealized gains and losses do not impact earnings, as they are offset by regulatory account balances. Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Sempra Infrastructure may use natural gas and electricity derivatives, as appropriate, in an effort to optimize the earnings of its assets which support the following businesses: LNG, natural gas pipelines and storage, and power generation. Gains and losses associated with undesignated derivatives are recognized in Energy-Related Businesses Revenues on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
From time to time, our various businesses, including SDG&E and SoCalGas, may use other derivatives to hedge exposures such as GHG allowances.
The following table summarizes net energy derivative volumes.

INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES
We are exposed to interest rates primarily as a result of our current and expected use of financing. SDG&E and SoCalGas, as well as Sempra and its other subsidiaries and JVs, periodically enter into interest rate derivative agreements intended to moderate our exposure to interest rates and to lower our overall costs of borrowing. In addition, we may utilize interest rate swaps, typically designated as cash flow hedges, to lock in interest rates on outstanding debt or in anticipation of future financings.
In December 2022, Sempra Infrastructure entered into an undesignated contingent interest rate swap to lock in interest rates on up to $3.5 billion of the variable rate indebtedness from anticipated future project-level debt financing that would be used to pay for construction costs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. The contingent interest rate swap had a 25-year tenor, and its settlement was conditional upon the closing of project-level debt financing with respect to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. In March 2023, we closed on the project-level debt financing and, shortly thereafter, paid $14 million to cash settle the contingent interest rate swap.
As we discuss in Note 6, a minimum of 60% of the projected amount of term loans outstanding is required to be hedged under the Port Arthur LNG term loan facility agreement. In March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with 17 counterparties to hedge the variability in cash flows related to the SOFR-based component of interest payments on forecasted loans outstanding under the agreement. The notional amounts of the interest rate swaps generally increase in proportion to the forecasted borrowings up to a maximum amount of $4.2 billion prior to the maturity of the term loans on March 20, 2030. Under the interest rate swaps, which are designated as cash flow hedges, Port Arthur LNG receives interest at Term SOFR and pays interest at a fixed rate of 3.23% based on amortizing notional amounts maturing in 2048.
The following table presents the net notional amounts of our interest rate derivatives, excluding those in our equity method investments and the contingent interest rate swap.

FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES
We may utilize cross-currency swaps to hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt at our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs. These cash flow hedges exchange our Mexican peso-denominated principal and interest payments into the U.S. dollar and swap Mexican fixed interest rates for U.S. fixed interest rates. From time to time, Sempra Infrastructure and its JVs may use other foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposures related to cash flows associated with revenues from contracts denominated in Mexican pesos that are indexed to the U.S. dollar.
We are also exposed to exchange rate movements at our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs, which have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that give rise to Mexican currency exchange rate movements for Mexican income tax purposes. They also have deferred income tax assets and liabilities denominated in the Mexican peso, which must be translated to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. In addition, monetary assets and liabilities and certain nonmonetary assets and liabilities are adjusted for Mexican inflation for Mexican income tax purposes. We may utilize foreign currency derivatives as a means to manage the risk of exposure to significant fluctuations in our income tax expense incurred thanand equity earnings from these impacts; however, we generally do not hedge our deferred income tax assets and liabilities or for inflation.
The following table presents the net notional amounts of our foreign currency derivatives, excluding those in our equity method investments.

For Sempra, we expect that net gains before NCI of $48 million, which are net of income tax expense, that are currently recorded in AOCI (with net gains of $22 million attributable to NCI) related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged items affect earnings. SoCalGas expects that $1 million of losses, net of income tax benefit, that are currently recorded in AOCI related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged items affect earnings. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified into earnings depend on the interest rates in effect when derivative contracts mature.
For all forecasted transactions, the maximum remaining term over which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at September 30, 2023 is approximately 24 years for Sempra. The maximum remaining term for which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at our equity method investees is 16 years.

CREDIT RISK RELATED CONTINGENT FEATURES
For Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas, certain of our derivative instruments contain credit limits which vary depending on our credit ratings. Generally, these provisions, if applicable, may reduce our credit limit if a specified credit rating agency reduces our ratings. In certain cases, if our credit ratings were to fall below investment grade, the counterparty to these derivative liability instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full collateralization.
For Sempra, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $160 million and $106 million, respectively. For SoCalGas, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $157 million and $69 million, respectively. SDG&E did not have this group of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, if the credit ratings of Sempra or SoCalGas were reduced below investment grade, $160 million and $157 million, respectively, of additional assets could be required to be posted as collateral for these derivative contracts.
For Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas, some of our derivative contracts contain a provision that would permit the counterparty, in certain circumstances, to request adequate assurance of our performance under the contracts. Such additional assurance, if needed, is not material and is not included in the GRC relatingamounts above.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We discuss the valuation techniques and inputs we use to tax repairs deductions, self-developed software deductionsmeasure fair value and certain book-over-tax depreciation. The tracking accounts will remain open, and we expect they will be reviewedthe definition of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2019 GRC proceedings. Annual Report.
RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASURES
The three tables below, by level within the fair value hierarchy, set forth our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We classify financial assets and liabilities in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair-valued assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. We have not changed the valuation techniques or types of inputs we use to measure recurring fair value since December 31, 2022.
The fair value of commodity derivative assets and liabilities is presented in accordance with our netting policy, as we discuss in Note 7 under “Financial Statement Presentation.”
The determination of fair values, shown in the tables below, incorporates various factors, including but not limited to, the credit standing of the counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements (such as cash deposits, letters of credit and priority interests).
Our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis in the tables below include the following:
Nuclear decommissioning trusts reflect the assets of SDG&E’s NDT, excluding accounts receivable and accounts payable. A third-party trustee values the trust assets using prices from a pricing service based on a market approach. We validate these prices by comparison to prices from other independent data sources. Securities are valued using quoted prices listed on nationally recognized securities exchanges or based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1). Other securities are valued based on yields that are currently available for comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings (Level 2).
For commodity contracts, interest rate instruments and foreign exchange instruments, we primarily use a market or income approach with market participant assumptions to value these derivatives. Market participant assumptions include those about risk, and the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation techniques. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. We have exchange-traded derivatives that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for the identical instruments (Level 1). We also may have other commodity derivatives that are valued using industry standard models that consider quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, volatility factors, and other relevant economic measures (Level 2). Level 3 recurring items relate to CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions at SDG&E, as we discuss below in “Level 3 Information – SDG&E.”
Rabbi Trust investments include short-term investments that consist of money market and mutual funds that we value using a market approach based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1).
As we discuss in Note 5, in July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN. We measure the Support Agreement, which includes a guarantee obligation, a put option and a call option, net of related guarantee fees, at fair value on a recurring basis. We use a discounted cash flow model to value the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees. Because some of the inputs that are significant to the valuation are less observable, the Support Agreement is classified as Level 3, as we describe below in “Level 3 Information – Sempra Infrastructure.”

Inputs used to determine the fair value of CRRs and fixed-price electricity positions are reviewed and compared with market conditions to determine reasonableness.
CRRs are recorded at fair value based almost entirely on the most current auction prices published by the California ISO, an objective source. Annual auction prices are published once a year, typically in the middle of November, and are the basis for valuing CRRs settling in the following year. For the CRRs settling from January 1 to December 31, the auction price inputs, at a given location, were in the following ranges for the years indicated below:
CONGESTION REVENUE RIGHTS AUCTION PRICE INPUTS
Settlement yearPrice per MWhMedian price per MWh
2023$(3.09)to$10.71 $(0.56)
2022(3.67)to6.96 (0.70)
The impact associated with discounting is not significant. Because these auction prices are a less observable input, these instruments are classified as Level 3. The fair value of these instruments is derived from auction price differences between two locations. Positive values between two locations represent expected future reductions in congestion costs, whereas negative values between two locations represent expected future charges. Valuation of our CRRs is sensitive to a change in auction price. If auction prices at one location increase (decrease) relative to another location, this could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. We summarize CRR volumes in Note 7.
Long-term, fixed-price electricity positions in 2022 that were valued using significant unobservable data were classified as Level 3 because the contract terms related to a delivery location or tenor for which observable market rate information was not available. The fair value of the net electricity positions classified as Level 3 was derived from a discounted cash flow model using market electricity forward price inputs. The range and weighted-average price of these inputs at September 2017, there have been no mandatory30, 2022 were $26.75 to $127.20 and $68.50, respectively. We summarize long-term, fixed-price electricity position volumes in Note 7.
Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Because unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities, they do not affect earnings.

The fair value of the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is based on a discounted cash flow model using a probability of default and survival methodology. Our estimate of fair value considers inputs such as third-party default rates, credit ratings, recovery rates, and risk-adjusted discount rates, which may be readily observable, market corroborated or elective tax law, tax accounting, tax procedural,generally unobservable inputs. Because CFIN’s credit rating and related default and survival rates are unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation, the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is classified as Level 3. We assigned CFIN an internally developed credit rating of A3 and relied on default rate data published by Moody’s to assign a probability of default. A hypothetical change in the credit rating up or tax policy changesdown one notch could result in a significant change in the fair value of the Support Agreement.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values of certain of our financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable, amounts due to/from unconsolidated affiliates with original maturities of less than 90 days, dividends and accounts payable, short-term debt and customer deposits) approximate their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investments in life insurance contracts that we hold in support of our Supplemental Executive Retirement, Cash Balance Restoration and Deferred Compensation Plans are carried at cash surrender values, which represent the amount of cash that could give rise to a regulatory liabilitybe realized under the contracts.

NOTE 9. SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
We provide below updates to ongoing matters related to SONGS, a nuclear generating facility near San Clemente, California that permanently ceased operations in June 2013, and in which SDG&E has a 20% ownership interest. We discuss SONGS further in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
CPUC Cost of Capital
In July 2017,The CPUC approved the CPUC issued a final decision adopting, with certain modifications, the joint petition filed in February 2017 by SDG&E, SoCalGas, PG&E and Edison, along with ORA and TURN. The final decision provides a two-year extension for each of the utilities to file its next respective cost of capital application, extending the filing date to April 2019 for a 2020 test year. The final decision also reduces the ROE for SDG&E from 10.30 percent to 10.20 percent and for SoCalGas from 10.10 percent to 10.05 percent, effective from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2019. SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ ratemaking capital structures will remain at current levels until modified, if at all, by a future cost of capital decision by the CPUC. In September 2017, SDG&E and SoCalGas filed advice letters to update theirfollowing cost of capital for the actual cost of long-term debt through August 2017 and forecasted cost through 2018. SDG&E and SoCalGas did not file for changes to preferred stock costs, because no issuances of preferred stock through 2018 are anticipated.
In October 2017, the CPUC approved the embedded cost of debt presented in the filed advice letters, resulting in a revised returnthat became effective on rate base for SDG&E and SoCalGas of 7.55 percent and 7.34 percent, respectively, effective January 1, 2018, as depicted in the table below:

SDG&E
FERC Rate Matters
SDG&E files separately with the FERC for its authorized ROE on FERC-regulated electric transmission operations and assets. SDG&E’s currently effective TO5 settlement provides for a ROE of 10.60%, consisting of a base ROE of 10.10% plus an additional 50 bps for participation in 2018the California ISO (the California ISO adder). If the FERC issues an order ruling that California IOUs are no longer eligible for the California ISO adder, SDG&E would refund the California ISO adder as of the refund effective date (June 1, 2019) if such a refund is determined to be required by the terms of the TO5 settlement. The TO5 term is effective June 1, 2019 and 2019 for incremental projects not funded throughshall remain in effect until terminated by a notice provided at least six months before the GRC revenue requirement.end of the calendar year. Following such notice, SDG&E would file an updated rate request with an effective date of January 1 of the following year.

SEMPRA INFRASTRUCTURE
Cameron LNG JV
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Sempra Infrastructure contributed $11 million and $19 million, respectively, to Cameron LNG JV, and Cameron LNG JV distributed $339 million and $388 million, respectively, to Sempra Infrastructure.
Sempra Promissory Note for SDSRA Distribution
Cameron LNG JV’s debt agreements require Cameron LNG JV to maintain the SDSRA, which is an additional reserve account beyond the Senior Debt Service Accrual Account, where funds accumulate from operations to satisfy senior debt obligations due and payable on the next payment date. Both accounts can be funded with cash or authorized investments. In June 2021, Sempra Infrastructure received a distribution of $165 million based on its proportionate share of the SDSRA, for which Sempra provided a promissory note and letters of credit to secure a proportionate share of Cameron LNG JV’s obligation to fund the SDSRA. Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss is replenishment of the amount withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA, or $165 million. We recorded a guarantee liability of $22 million in June 2021, with an associated carrying value of $19 million at September 30, 2023, for the fair value of the promissory note, which is being reduced over the duration of the guarantee through Sempra Infrastructure’s investment in Cameron LNG JV. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of Cameron LNG JV’s debt, scheduled to occur in 2039, or replenishment of the amount withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA.
Sempra Support Agreement for CFIN
In July 2020, CFIN entered into a financing arrangement with Cameron LNG JV’s four project owners and received aggregate proceeds of $1.5 billion from two project owners and from external lenders on behalf of the other two project owners (collectively, the affiliate loans), based on their proportionate ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV. CFIN used the proceeds from the affiliate loans to provide a loan to Cameron LNG JV. The affiliate loans mature in 2039. Principal and interest will be paid from Cameron LNG JV’s project cash flows from its three-train natural gas liquefaction facility. Cameron LNG JV used the proceeds from its loan to return equity to its project owners. Sempra used its $753 million share of the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.
Sempra Infrastructure’s $753 million proportionate share of the affiliate loans, based on SI Partners’ 50.2% ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV, was funded by external lenders comprised of a syndicate of eight banks (the bank debt) to whom Sempra has provided a guarantee pursuant to a Support Agreement under which:
Sempra has severally guaranteed repayment of the bank debt plus accrued and unpaid interest if CFIN fails to pay the external lenders;
the external lenders may exercise an option to put the bank debt to Sempra Infrastructure upon the occurrence of certain events, including a failure by CFIN to meet its payment obligations under the bank debt;
the external lenders will put some or all of the bank debt to Sempra Infrastructure on the fifth, tenth, or fifteenth anniversary date of the affiliate loans, except the portion of the debt owed to any external lender that has elected not to participate in the put option six months prior to the respective anniversary date;
Sempra Infrastructure also has a right to call the bank debt back from, or to refinance the bank debt with, the external lenders at any time; and
the Support Agreement will terminate upon full repayment of the bank debt, including repayment following an event in which the bank debt is put to Sempra Infrastructure.
In exchange for this guarantee, the external lenders pay a guarantee fee that is based on the credit rating of Sempra’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt rating, which guarantee fee Sempra Infrastructure recognizes as interest income as earned. Sempra’s maximum exposure to loss is the bank debt plus any accrued and unpaid interest and related fees, subject to a liability cap of 130% of the bank debt, or $979 million. We measure the Support Agreement at fair value, net of related guarantee fees, on a recurring basis (see Note 8). At September 30, 2023, the fair value of the Support Agreement was $18 million, of which $7 million is included in Other Current Assets and $11 million is included in Other Long-Term Assets on Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
TAG
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, TAG distributed $36 million and $32 million, respectively, to Sempra Infrastructure.

SHORT-TERM DEBT
Committed Lines of Credit
At September 30, 2023, Sempra had an aggregate capacity of $9.9 billion under seven primary committed lines of credit, which provide liquidity and support commercial paper programs. Because our commercial paper programs are supported by some of these lines of credit, we reflect the amount of commercial paper outstanding, before reductions of any unamortized discounts, and any letters of credit outstanding as a reduction to the available unused credit capacity in the following table.

(1)    In October 2023, Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each amended their respective credit facility to extend the expiration date from October 2027 to October 2028. Each credit facility will maintain a syndicate of 23 lenders through October 2027, at which time the syndicate of lenders for each credit facility will be reduced to 22 unless a new or existing lender agrees to assume the 23rd lender’s commitment. Such a reduction in lenders would result in a reduction to the available credit capacity to $3,845, $1,442 and $1,153 for Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively, through October 2028.
(2)    In September 2023, the $150 facility was terminated and the $350 facility was amended to increase the commitment to $500, adjust the applicable margin to 80 bps (including credit adjustment spread), and extend the expiration date from September 2023 to September 2025.
(3)    In August 2023, the facility was amended to include IEnova as a co-borrower, adjust the Term SOFR credit adjustment spread to 10 bps in all tenors, and extend the expiration date from November 2024 to August 2026. Additionally, either SI Partners or IEnova has the right to increase the total facility to $1,500, subject to lender approval.
(4)    In August 2023, the facility was amended to extend the expiration date from February 2024 to August 2028.

Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas each must maintain a ratio of indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in each of the applicable credit facilities) of no more than 65% at the end of each quarter. At September 30, 2023, each entity was in compliance with this ratio under its respective credit facility.
SI Partners must maintain a ratio of consolidated adjusted net indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (as defined in each of the applicable credit facilities) of no more than 5.25 to 1.00 at the end of each quarter. At September 30, 2023, SI Partners was in compliance with this ratio.
In March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into a seven-year initial working capital facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders expiring in March 2030. The credit facility permits borrowings of up to $200 million, which bear interest by reference to Term SOFR, plus the applicable margin and a credit adjustment spread. The credit facility also provides for the issuance of up to $200 million of letters of credit.

Uncommitted Line of Credit
ECA LNG Phase 1 has an uncommitted line of credit, which is generally used for working capital requirements, with an aggregate capacity of $200 million of which $37 million was outstanding at September 30, 2023. The amounts outstanding are before reductions of any unamortized discounts. Borrowings can be in U.S. dollars or Mexican pesos. At September 30, 2023, outstanding amounts were borrowed in Mexican pesos and bear interest at a variable rate based on the 28-day Interbank Equilibrium Interest Rate plus 105 bps. In June 2023, the facility was amended to extend the expiration date to August 2024 and replace the London Interbank Offered Rate reference rate plus 105 bps with the SOFR reference rate plus 115 bps. As such, borrowings made in U.S. dollars bear interest at a variable rate based on the one-month or three-month SOFR plus 115 bps.
Uncommitted Letters of Credit
Outside of our domestic and foreign credit facilities, we have bilateral unsecured standby letter of credit capacity with select lenders that is uncommitted and supported by reimbursement agreements. At September 30, 2023, we had $508 million in standby letters of credit outstanding under these agreements.

In July 2022, SoCalGas entered into an $800 million, 364-day term loan agreement with a maturity date of July 6, 2023. In August 2022, SoCalGas borrowed $800 million, net of negligible debt issuance costs, under the term loan agreement. The borrowing bore interest at benchmark rates plus 70 bps and was due in full upon maturity. SoCalGas used the proceeds for payment of a portion of the costs relating to litigation pertaining to the Leak. In the second quarter of 2023, SoCalGas repaid the term loan in full.

SDG&E
In March 2023, SDG&E issued $800 million aggregate principal amount of 5.35% first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on April 1, 2053 and received proceeds of $783 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $17 million). The first mortgage bonds are redeemable prior to maturity, subject to their terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SDG&E used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repayment of commercial paper and other indebtedness.

In August 2023, SDG&E issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.95% green first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on August 15, 2028 and received proceeds of $593 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $7 million). The first mortgage bonds are redeemable prior to maturity, subject to their terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SDG&E intends to use the net proceeds to finance or refinance investments in eligible projects that fall into one or more of the following categories: climate change adaptation, clean energy solutions and clean transportation.
SoCalGas
In May 2023, SoCalGas issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.20% first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on June 1, 2033 and received proceeds of $495 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $5 million), and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% first mortgage bonds due in full upon maturity on June 1, 2053 and received proceeds of $493 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $7 million). Each series of first mortgage bonds is redeemable prior to maturity, subject to its terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. SoCalGas used the net proceeds to repay its $300 million senior unsecured floating rate notes prior to their September 2023 scheduled maturity, a portion of its $800 million term loan and other general corporate purposes.

In June 2023, Sempra issued $550 million aggregate principal amount of 5.40% senior unsecured notes due in full upon maturity on August 1, 2026 and received proceeds of $545 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $5 million), and $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior unsecured notes due in full upon maturity on August 1, 2033 and received proceeds of $692 million (net of debt discount, underwriting discounts and debt issuance costs of $8 million). Each series of notes is redeemable prior to maturity, subject to its terms, and in certain circumstances subject to make-whole provisions. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including repayment of commercial paper and other indebtedness.
Sempra Infrastructure
ECA LNG Phase 1
ECA LNG Phase 1 has a five-year loan agreement with a syndicate of seven external lenders that matures in December 2025 for an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.3 billion. IEnova and TotalEnergies SE have provided guarantees for repayment of the loans plus accrued and unpaid interest of 83.4% and 16.6%, respectively. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $782 million and $575 million, respectively, of borrowings from external lenders were outstanding under the loan agreement, with a weighted-average interest rate of 8.35% and 7.54%, respectively.
Port Arthur LNG
In March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into a term loan facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 billion. Proceeds from the loans will be used to finance the cost of construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. The loans mature on March 20, 2030 and bear interest by reference to Term SOFR, plus the applicable margin and a credit adjustment spread. The applicable margin prior to completion of the PA LNG Phase 1 project (which occurs upon the satisfaction or waiver of a series of customary operational, technical, environmental and social and other tests and conditions that generally would not be fully met until after the commercial operations date) is 2.00% and on completion and thereafter is 2.25%. The principal amounts outstanding on the loans must be repaid in quarterly installments, commencing on the earlier of (i) the first quarterly payment date occurring more than three calendar months following completion of the PA LNG Phase 1 project and (ii) April 20, 2029. Under the terms of the loan agreement, at least 60% of the projected outstanding balance is required to be hedged during construction and over the underlying 20-year notional amortization period. As we discuss in Note 7, Port Arthur LNG entered into hedging instruments in satisfaction of this requirement in March 2023. An upfront equity funding amount of $4.7 billion is required to have been contributed to Port Arthur LNG for construction costs as a condition to the initial advance of term loans under the agreement (other than advances for fees, interest, expenses and certain other specified costs). Port Arthur LNG paid $200 million in debt issuance costs at closing. Additionally, the loan agreement and the related working capital facility agreement that we discuss above require payment of commitment fees calculated at a rate per annum equal to 30% of the applicable margin for Term SOFR loans multiplied by the outstanding debt commitments, and additional administrative fees. At September 30, 2023, $243 million of borrowings were outstanding under the loan agreement, with an all-in weighted-average interest rate of 5.71%.
59

In connection with this loan agreement, SI Partners and ConocoPhillips have collectively provided commitments for approximately $2.8 billion in equity funding for the benefit of Port Arthur LNG for their respective affiliate’s share of the equity funding of anticipated construction costs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project in excess of the upfront equity funding amount of $4.7 billion. The amount of each commitment is based on each of SI Partners’ and ConocoPhillips’ proportionate indirect ownership interest in Port Arthur LNG of 70% and 30%, respectively, as of the March 2023 loan agreement. The obligation under these guarantees will be reduced as their respective affiliates fund their direct proportionate interest of capital calls. Such equity funding can be called upon by Port Arthur LNG to fund project costs or, upon the taking of an enforcement action under the terms of Port Arthur LNG’s finance documents, to pay its senior debt obligations.
The pari passu secured obligations under the related finance documents are secured by a first priority lien (subject to customary permitted encumbrances) in substantially all of the assets of Port Arthur LNG, including the equity interests in, and real property
interests of, Port Arthur LNG.
NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We use derivative instruments primarily to manage exposures arising in the normal course of business. Our principal exposures are commodity market risk, benchmark interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate exposures. Our use of derivatives for these risks is integrated into the economic management of our anticipated revenues, anticipated expenses, assets and liabilities. Derivatives may be effective in mitigating these risks (1) that could lead to declines in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, or (2) that could cause our asset values to fall or our liabilities to increase. Accordingly, our derivative activity summarized below generally represents an impact that is intended to offset associated revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities that are not included in the tables below.
In certain cases, we apply the normal purchase or sale exception to derivative instruments and have other commodity contracts that are not derivatives. These contracts are not recorded at fair value and are therefore excluded from the disclosures below.
In all other cases, we record derivatives at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We may have derivatives that are (1) cash flow hedges, (2) fair value hedges, or (3) undesignated. Depending on the applicability of hedge accounting and, for SDG&E and SoCalGas and other operations subject to regulatory accounting, the requirement to pass impacts through to customers, the impact of derivative instruments may be offset in OCI (cash flow hedges), on the balance sheet (regulatory offsets), or recognized in earnings (fair value hedges and undesignated derivatives not subject to rate recovery). We classify cash flows from the principal settlements of cross-currency swaps that hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt and amounts related to terminations or early settlements of interest rate swaps as financing activities and settlements of other derivative instruments as operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
HEDGE ACCOUNTING
We may designate a derivative as a cash flow hedging instrument if it effectively converts anticipated cash flows associated with revenues or expenses to a fixed dollar amount. We may utilize cash flow hedge accounting for derivative commodity instruments, foreign currency instruments and interest rate instruments. Designating cash flow hedges is dependent on the business context in which the instrument is being used, the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk of variability of future cash flows of a given revenue or expense item, and other criteria.
ENERGY DERIVATIVES
Our market risk is primarily related to natural gas and electricity price volatility and the specific physical locations where we transact. We use energy derivatives to manage these risks. The use of energy derivatives in our various businesses depends on the particular energy market, and the operating and regulatory environments applicable to the business, as follows:
SDG&E and SoCalGas use natural gas derivatives and SDG&E uses electricity derivatives, for the benefit of customers, with the objective of managing price risk and basis risk, and stabilizing and lowering natural gas and electricity costs. These derivatives include fixed-price natural gas and electricity positions, options, and basis risk instruments, which are either exchange-traded or over-the-counter financial instruments, or bilateral physical transactions. This activity is governed by risk management and transacting activity plans limited by company policy. SDG&E’s risk management and transacting activity plans for electricity derivatives are also required to be filed with, and have been approved by, the CPUC. SoCalGas is also subject to certain regulatory requirements and thresholds related to natural gas procurement under the GCIM. Natural gas and electricity derivative activities are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and are recovered
60

in rates. Net commodity cost impacts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are reflected in Cost of Natural Gas or in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power.
SDG&E is allocated and may purchase CRRs, which serve to reduce the regional electricity price volatility risk that may result from local transmission capacity constraints. Unrealized gains and losses do not impact earnings, as they are offset by regulatory account balances. Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Sempra Infrastructure may use natural gas and electricity derivatives, as appropriate, in an effort to optimize the earnings of its assets which support the following businesses: LNG, natural gas pipelines and storage, and power generation. Gains and losses associated with undesignated derivatives are recognized in Energy-Related Businesses Revenues on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
From time to time, our various businesses, including SDG&E and SoCalGas, may use other derivatives to hedge exposures such as GHG allowances.
The following table summarizes net energy derivative volumes.

INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES
We are exposed to interest rates primarily as a result of our current and expected use of financing. SDG&E and SoCalGas, as well as Sempra and its other subsidiaries and JVs, periodically enter into interest rate derivative agreements intended to moderate our exposure to interest rates and to lower our overall costs of borrowing. In addition, we may utilize interest rate swaps, typically designated as cash flow hedges, to lock in interest rates on outstanding debt or in anticipation of future financings.
In December 2022, Sempra Infrastructure entered into an undesignated contingent interest rate swap to lock in interest rates on up to $3.5 billion of the variable rate indebtedness from anticipated future project-level debt financing that would be used to pay for construction costs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. The contingent interest rate swap had a 25-year tenor, and its settlement was conditional upon the closing of project-level debt financing with respect to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. In March 2023, we closed on the project-level debt financing and, shortly thereafter, paid $14 million to cash settle the contingent interest rate swap.
As we discuss in Note 6, a minimum of 60% of the projected amount of term loans outstanding is required to be hedged under the Port Arthur LNG term loan facility agreement. In March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with 17 counterparties to hedge the variability in cash flows related to the SOFR-based component of interest payments on forecasted loans outstanding under the agreement. The notional amounts of the interest rate swaps generally increase in proportion to the forecasted borrowings up to a maximum amount of $4.2 billion prior to the maturity of the term loans on March 20, 2030. Under the interest rate swaps, which are designated as cash flow hedges, Port Arthur LNG receives interest at Term SOFR and pays interest at a fixed rate of 3.23% based on amortizing notional amounts maturing in 2048.
The following table presents the net notional amounts of our interest rate derivatives, excluding those in our equity method investments and the contingent interest rate swap.

FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES
We may utilize cross-currency swaps to hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt at our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs. These cash flow hedges exchange our Mexican peso-denominated principal and interest payments into the U.S. dollar and swap Mexican fixed interest rates for U.S. fixed interest rates. From time to time, Sempra Infrastructure and its JVs may use other foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposures related to cash flows associated with revenues from contracts denominated in Mexican pesos that are indexed to the U.S. dollar.
We are also exposed to exchange rate movements at our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs, which have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that give rise to Mexican currency exchange rate movements for Mexican income tax purposes. They also have deferred income tax assets and liabilities denominated in the Mexican peso, which must be translated to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. In addition, monetary assets and liabilities and certain nonmonetary assets and liabilities are adjusted for Mexican inflation for Mexican income tax purposes. We may utilize foreign currency derivatives as a means to manage the risk of exposure to significant fluctuations in our income tax expense and equity earnings from these impacts; however, we generally do not hedge our deferred income tax assets and liabilities or for inflation.
The following table presents the net notional amounts of our foreign currency derivatives, excluding those in our equity method investments.

For Sempra, we expect that net gains before NCI of $48 million, which are net of income tax expense, that are currently recorded in AOCI (with net gains of $22 million attributable to NCI) related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged items affect earnings. SoCalGas expects that $1 million of losses, net of income tax benefit, that are currently recorded in AOCI related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged items affect earnings. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified into earnings depend on the interest rates in effect when derivative contracts mature.
For all forecasted transactions, the maximum remaining term over which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at September 30, 2023 is approximately 24 years for Sempra. The maximum remaining term for which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at our equity method investees is 16 years.

CREDIT RISK RELATED CONTINGENT FEATURES
For Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas, certain of our derivative instruments contain credit limits which vary depending on our credit ratings. Generally, these provisions, if applicable, may reduce our credit limit if a specified credit rating agency reduces our ratings. In certain cases, if our credit ratings were to fall below investment grade, the counterparty to these derivative liability instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full collateralization.
For Sempra, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $160 million and $106 million, respectively. For SoCalGas, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $157 million and $69 million, respectively. SDG&E did not have this group of derivative instruments in a liability position at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, if the credit ratings of Sempra or SoCalGas were reduced below investment grade, $160 million and $157 million, respectively, of additional assets could be required to be posted as collateral for these derivative contracts.
For Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas, some of our derivative contracts contain a provision that would permit the counterparty, in certain circumstances, to request adequate assurance of our performance under the contracts. Such additional assurance, if needed, is not material and is not included in the amounts above.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We discuss the valuation techniques and inputs we use to measure fair value and the definition of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASURES
The three tables below, by level within the fair value hierarchy, set forth our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We classify financial assets and liabilities in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair-valued assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. We have not changed the valuation techniques or types of inputs we use to measure recurring fair value since December 31, 2022.
The fair value of commodity derivative assets and liabilities is presented in accordance with our netting policy, as we discuss in Note 7 under “Financial Statement Presentation.”
The determination of fair values, shown in the tables below, incorporates various factors, including but not limited to, the credit standing of the counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements (such as cash deposits, letters of credit and priority interests).
Our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis in the tables below include the following:
Nuclear decommissioning trusts reflect the assets of SDG&E’s NDT, excluding accounts receivable and accounts payable. A third-party trustee values the trust assets using prices from a pricing service based on a market approach. We validate these prices by comparison to prices from other independent data sources. Securities are valued using quoted prices listed on nationally recognized securities exchanges or based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1). Other securities are valued based on yields that are currently available for comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings (Level 2).
For commodity contracts, interest rate instruments and foreign exchange instruments, we primarily use a market or income approach with market participant assumptions to value these derivatives. Market participant assumptions include those about risk, and the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation techniques. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. We have exchange-traded derivatives that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for the identical instruments (Level 1). We also may have other commodity derivatives that are valued using industry standard models that consider quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, volatility factors, and other relevant economic measures (Level 2). Level 3 recurring items relate to CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions at SDG&E, as we discuss below in “Level 3 Information – SDG&E.”
Rabbi Trust investments include short-term investments that consist of money market and mutual funds that we value using a market approach based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1).
As we discuss in Note 5, in July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN. We measure the Support Agreement, which includes a guarantee obligation, a put option and a call option, net of related guarantee fees, at fair value on a recurring basis. We use a discounted cash flow model to value the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees. Because some of the inputs that are significant to the valuation are less observable, the Support Agreement is classified as Level 3, as we describe below in “Level 3 Information – Sempra Infrastructure.”

Inputs used to determine the fair value of CRRs and fixed-price electricity positions are reviewed and compared with market conditions to determine reasonableness.
CRRs are recorded at fair value based almost entirely on the most current auction prices published by the California ISO, an objective source. Annual auction prices are published once a year, typically in the middle of November, and are the basis for valuing CRRs settling in the following year. For the CRRs settling from January 1 to December 31, the auction price inputs, at a given location, were in the following ranges for the years indicated below:
CONGESTION REVENUE RIGHTS AUCTION PRICE INPUTS
Settlement yearPrice per MWhMedian price per MWh
2023$(3.09)to$10.71 $(0.56)
2022(3.67)to6.96 (0.70)
The impact associated with discounting is not significant. Because these auction prices are a less observable input, these instruments are classified as Level 3. The fair value of these instruments is derived from auction price differences between two locations. Positive values between two locations represent expected future reductions in congestion costs, whereas negative values between two locations represent expected future charges. Valuation of our CRRs is sensitive to a change in auction price. If auction prices at one location increase (decrease) relative to another location, this could result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. We summarize CRR volumes in Note 7.
Long-term, fixed-price electricity positions in 2022 that were valued using significant unobservable data were classified as Level 3 because the contract terms related to a delivery location or tenor for which observable market rate information was not available. The fair value of the net electricity positions classified as Level 3 was derived from a discounted cash flow model using market electricity forward price inputs. The range and weighted-average price of these inputs at September 30, 2022 were $26.75 to $127.20 and $68.50, respectively. We summarize long-term, fixed-price electricity position volumes in Note 7.
Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Because unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities, they do not affect earnings.

The fair value of the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is based on a discounted cash flow model using a probability of default and survival methodology. Our estimate of fair value considers inputs such as third-party default rates, credit ratings, recovery rates, and risk-adjusted discount rates, which may be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. Because CFIN’s credit rating and related default and survival rates are unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation, the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is classified as Level 3. We assigned CFIN an internally developed credit rating of A3 and relied on default rate data published by Moody’s to assign a probability of default. A hypothetical change in the credit rating up or down one notch could result in a significant change in the fair value of the Support Agreement.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values of certain of our financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable, amounts due to/from unconsolidated affiliates with original maturities of less than 90 days, dividends and accounts payable, short-term debt and customer deposits) approximate their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investments in life insurance contracts that we hold in support of our Supplemental Executive Retirement, Cash Balance Restoration and Deferred Compensation Plans are carried at cash surrender values, which represent the amount of cash that could be realized under the contracts. The following table provides the carrying amounts and fair values of certain other financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 9. SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
We provide below updates to ongoing matters related to SONGS, a nuclear generating facility near San Clemente, California that permanently ceased operations in June 2013, and in which SDG&E has a 20% ownership interest. We discuss SONGS further in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
NUCLEAR DECOMMISSIONING AND FUNDING
As a result of Edison’s decision to permanently retire SONGS Units 2 and 3, Edison began the decommissioning phase of the plant. Major decommissioning work began in 2020. We expect the majority of the decommissioning work to be completed around 2030. Decommissioning of Unit 1, removed from service in 1992, is largely complete. The remaining work for Unit 1 will be completed once Units 2 and 3 are dismantled and the spent fuel is removed from the site. The spent fuel is currently being stored on-site, until the DOE identifies a spent fuel storage facility and puts in place a program for the fuel’s disposal. SDG&E is responsible for approximately 20% of the total decommissioning cost.
In accordance with state and federal requirements and regulations, SDG&E has assets held in the NDT to fund its share of decommissioning costs for SONGS Units 1, 2 and 3. Amounts that were collected in rates for SONGS’ decommissioning are invested in the NDT, which is comprised of externally managed trust funds. Amounts held by the NDT are invested in accordance with CPUC regulations. SDG&E classifies debt and equity securities held in the NDT as available-for-sale. The NDT assets are presented on the Sempra and SDG&E Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with the offsetting credits recorded in noncurrent Regulatory Liabilities.
Except for the use of funds for the planning of decommissioning activities or NDT administrative costs, CPUC approval is required for SDG&E to access the NDT assets to fund SONGS decommissioning costs for Units 2 and 3. In December 2022, the CPUC granted SDG&E authorization to access NDT funds of up to $81 million for forecasted 2023 costs.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We accrue losses for a legal proceeding when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. However, the uncertainties inherent in legal proceedings make it difficult to reasonably estimate with reasonable certainty the costs and effects of resolving these matters. Accordingly, actual costs incurred may differ materially from amounts accrued, may exceed, and in some cases have exceeded, applicable insurance coverage and could materially adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations, financial condition, andcash flows and/or prospects. Unless otherwise indicated, we are unable to reasonably estimate reasonably possible losses or a range of losses in excess of any amounts accrued.
At September 30, 2017, accrued liabilities2023, loss contingency accruals for legal proceedings,matters, including associated legal fees and costs of litigation,regulatory matters related to the Leak, that are probable and estimable were $5$203 million for Sempra, Energy Consolidated, including $3 million for SDG&E and $1$127 million for SoCalGas. Amounts for Sempra Energy and SoCalGas include $1$125 million for matters related to the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility gas leak,Leak, which we discuss below.
SDG&E
2007 Wildfire Litigation and Net Cost Recovery StatusCity of San Diego Franchise Agreement
SDG&E has resolved all litigation associated with three wildfires that occurred in October 2007, except one appeal that remains pending after judgmentIn 2021, two lawsuits were filed in the trial court.California Superior Court challenging various aspects of the natural gas and electric franchise agreements granted by the City of San Diego to SDG&E. Both lawsuits ultimately sought to void the franchise agreements. In one of the cases, judgment was granted in favor of SDG&E does not expect additional plaintiffs to file lawsuits givenand the applicable statutesCity of limitation, but could receive additional settlement demandsSan Diego, and damage estimates from the remaining plaintiff untilin that case has appealed. In the second case, is resolved.the court ruled in favor of SDG&E maintains reservesand the City of San Diego, upholding all terms of the franchise agreements, except for the wildfire litigation and adjusts these reservestwo-thirds City Council vote requirement for termination if the City decides to terminate under certain circumstances. Under the court’s ruling, the City can instead terminate on a majority vote, so long as information becomes available and amounts are estimable.
SDG&E recorded regulatory assets for CPUC-related costs incurred to resolve wildfire claims in excess of its liability insurance coverage andit satisfies repayment provisions under the amounts recovered from third parties. In September 2015, SDG&E filed an application with the CPUC seeking authority to recover these CPUC-related costs in rates over a six- to ten-year period. The requested amountfranchise agreements. This matter is the net estimated CPUC-related cost incurred by SDG&E after deductions for insurance reimbursement and third-party settlement recoveries, and reflects a voluntary 10-percent shareholder contribution applied to the net regulatory asset for wildfire costs. In response to our application seeking recovery, in April 2016, the CPUC issued a ruling establishing the scope and schedule for the proceeding to be managed in two phases. Phase 1 addresses SDG&E’s operational and management prudence surrounding the 2007 wildfires. Phase 2 addresses whether SDG&E’s actions and decision-making in connection with settling legal claims in relation to the wildfires were reasonable. On August 22, 2017, two ALJs in the CPUC proceeding issued a proposed decision denying SDG&E’s request to recover the 2007 wildfire costs submitted in our application.
In consideration of the proposed decision denying recovery of these costs, and the actions taken and not taken by the CPUC subsequent to issuance of the proposed decision (including the actions not taken through the October 26, 2017 CPUC meeting), we have concluded that the wildfire regulatory asset no longer meets the probability threshold for recovery required by U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, SDG&E impaired the wildfire regulatory asset, resulting in a charge of $351 million ($208 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 2017, in Impairment of Wildfire Regulatory Asset on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for Sempra


Energy and SDG&E. SDG&E will continue to vigorously pursue recovery of these costs, which were incurred through settling claims brought under inverse condemnation laws.
If the proposed decision is adopted by the CPUC and is not overturned through rehearing or appeal, Phase 2 of the proceeding would be rendered moot and the proceeding would be closed. In such case, SDG&E would apply to the CPUC for rehearing of its decision within 30 days, upon which the CPUC may grant a rehearing, modify its decision, or deny the request and affirm its original decision. Ultimately, SDG&E has the right to file a petition with the Court of Appeal of California seeking to reverse the CPUC’s decision, and we will appeal the decision, if necessary. We expect a CPUC final decision in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Concluded Matter
SDG&E participated as a claimant and respondent in an arbitration proceeding initiated by Edison in October 2013 against MHI seeking damages stemming from the failure of the MHI replacement steam generators at the SONGS nuclear power plant. In March 2017, the Tribunal found MHI liable for breach of contract, subject to a contractual limitation of liability, but determined that MHI was the prevailing partymotion for reconsideration, and awarded it 95 percent of its arbitration costs. We discuss this arbitration and decision further in Note 9.subsequently an appeal if not otherwise resolved.
SoCalGas
Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
OnFrom October 23, 2015 through February 11, 2016, SoCalGas discoveredexperienced a natural gas leak atfrom one of itsthe injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility (the Leak), located in the northern part of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility has been operated by SoCalGas since 1972. SS25 is one of more than 100 injection-and-withdrawal wells at the storage facility.
Stopping the Leak, and Local Community Mitigation Efforts.Litigation. SoCalGas worked closely with several of the world’s leading experts to stop the Leak, and on February 18, 2016, DOGGR confirmed that the well was permanently sealed.
Pursuant to a stipulation and order by the LA Superior Court, SoCalGas provided temporary relocation support to residents in the nearby community who requested it before the well was permanently sealed. Following the permanent sealing of the well, the DPH conducted testing in certain homes in the Porter Ranch community, and concluded that indoor conditions did not present a long-term health risk and that it was safe for residents to return home. In May 2016, the LA Superior Court orderedSeptember 2021, SoCalGas to offer to clean residents’ homes at SoCalGas’ expense as a condition to ending the relocation program. SoCalGas completed the residential cleaning program and the relocation program ended in July 2016.
In May 2016, the DPH also issued a directive that SoCalGas additionally professionally clean (in accordance with the proposed protocol prepared by the DPH) the homes of all residents located within the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council boundary, or who participated in the relocation program, or who are located within a five-mile radius of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and experienced symptoms from the Leak (the Directive). SoCalGas disputes the Directive, contending that it is invalid and unenforceable, and has filed a petition for writ of mandate to set aside the Directive.
The total costs incurred to remediate and stop the Leak and to mitigate local community impacts are significant and may increase, and we may be subject to potentially significant damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, costs and other penalties. To the extent any of these costs are not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial conditionentered into an agreement with counsel to resolve approximately 390 lawsuits including approximately 36,000 plaintiffs (the Individual Plaintiffs) then pending against SoCalGas and results of operations.
Cost Estimates and Accounting Impact. As of September 30, 2017, SoCalGas recorded estimated costs of $841 million related to the Leak. Of this amount, approximately two-thirds is for the temporary relocation program (including cleaning costs and certain labor costs). Other estimated costs include amounts for efforts to control the well, stop the Leak, stop or reduce the emissions, and the estimated cost of the root cause analysis being conducted by an independent third party to investigate the cause of the Leak. The remaining portion of the $841 million includes legal costs incurred to defend litigation, the value of lost gas, the costs to mitigate the actual natural gas released, and other costs. The value of lost gas reflects the current replacement cost of volumes purchased in September 2017 and estimates of the cost to replace the remaining volumes. SoCalGas adjusts its estimated total liability associated with the Leak as additional information becomes available. The $841 million represents management’s best estimate of these costs related to the Leak. Of these costs, a substantial portion has been paid and $42 million is accrued as Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs as of September 30, 2017 on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for amounts expected to be paid after September 30, 2017.
As of September 30, 2017, we recorded the expected recovery of the costs described in the immediately preceding paragraph related to the Leak for a payment of $542 millionup to $1.8 billion. Over 99% of the Individual Plaintiffs participated and submitted valid releases, and SoCalGas paid $1.79 billion in 2022 under the agreement. The Individual Plaintiffs who have not participated in the settlement (the Remaining Individual Plaintiffs) are able to continue to pursue their claims. In addition, as Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costsof October 31, 2023, new lawsuits related to the Leak on SoCalGas’behalf of approximately 394 new plaintiffs have been filed against SoCalGas and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is net of insurance retentions and $294 million of insurance proceeds we received throughsince the September 30, 2017 related to control-of-well expenses and temporary relocation costs. If we were to conclude that this receivable or a


portion of it was no longer probable of recovery from insurers, some or all of this receivable would be charged against earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.2021 settlement.
The above amounts do not include any unsettled damage claims, restitution, or civil, administrative or criminal fines, costs or other penalties that may be imposed in connection with the incident or our responses thereto, as it is not possible to predict the outcome of any civil or criminal proceeding or any administrative action in which such damage awards, restitution or civil, administrative or criminal fines, costs or other penalties could be imposed,Remaining Individual Plaintiffs’ cases and any such amounts, if awarded or imposed or otherwise paid, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. In addition, the recorded amounts above do not include the costs to clean additional homes pursuant to the Directive, future legal costs necessary to defend litigation, and other potential costs that we currently do not anticipate incurring or that we cannot reasonably estimate.
In March 2016, the CPUC ordered SoCalGas to establish a memorandum account to prospectively track its authorized revenue requirement and all revenues that it receives for its normal, business-as-usual costs to own and operate the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and, in September 2016, approved SoCalGas’ request to begin tracking these revenues as of March 17, 2016. The CPUC will determine at a later time whether, and to what extent, the authorized revenues tracked in the memorandum account may be refunded to ratepayers.
Insurance. Excluding directors and officers liability insurance, we have four kinds of insurance policies that together provide between $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion in insurance coverage, depending on the nature of the claims. We cannot predict all of the potential categories of costs or the total amount of costs that we may incur as a result of the Leak. Subject to various policy limits, exclusions and conditions, based on what we know as of the filing date of this report, we believe that our insurance policies collectively should cover the following categories of costs: costs incurred for temporary relocation (including cleaning costs and certain labor costs), costs to address the Leak and stop or reduce emissions, the root cause analysis being conducted to investigate the cause of the Leak, the value of lost natural gas, costs incurred to mitigate the actual natural gas released, costs associated with litigation and claims by nearby residents and businesses, any costs to clean additional homes pursuant to the Directive, and, in some circumstances depending on their nature and manner of assessment, fines and penalties. We have been communicating with our insurance carriers and, as discussed above, we have received insurance payments for a portion of control-of-well expenses and a portion of temporary relocation costs. We intend to pursue the full extent of our insurance coverage for the costs we have incurred or may incur. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining insurance coverage for these costs under the applicable policies, and to the extent we are not successful in obtaining coverage or these costs exceed the amount of our coverage, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Our recorded estimate as of September 30, 2017 of $841 million of certain costs in connection with the Leak may rise significantly as more information becomes available, and any costs not included in our estimate could be material. To the extent not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Governmental Investigations and Civil and Criminal Litigation. Various governmental agencies, including DOGGR, DPH, SCAQMD, CARB, Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board, California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, CPUC, PHMSA, EPA, Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office and California Attorney General’s Office, have investigated or are investigating this incident. Other federal agencies (e.g., the DOE and the U.S. Department of the Interior) investigated the incident as part of a joint interagency task force. In January 2016, DOGGR and the CPUC selected Blade to conduct an independent analysis under their supervision and to be funded by SoCalGas to investigate the technical root cause of the Leak. The timing of the root cause analysis is under the control of Blade, DOGGR and the CPUC.
As of October 26, 2017, 344 lawsuits, including over 43,826 plaintiffs, are pending in the LA Superior Court against SoCalGas, some of which have also named Sempra Energy. These various lawsuits assert causes of action for negligence, negligence per se, strict liability, property damage, fraud, public and private nuisance (continuing and permanent), trespass, inverse condemnation, fraudulent concealment, unfair business practices and loss of consortium, among other things, and additional litigation may be filed against us in the future related to this incident. A complaint alleging violations of Proposition 65 was also filed. These complaints seek compensatory and punitive damages, civil penalties, injunctive relief, costs of future medical monitoring and attorneys’ fees, and several seek class action status. All of thesenew plaintiffs’ cases other than a matter brought by the Los Angeles County District Attorney and the federal securities class action discussed below, are coordinated before a single court in the LA County Superior Court for pretrial management (the Coordination Proceeding).

In June 2017, the SDCA dismissed the federal securities class action on the grounds the plaintiff failed to plead sufficient facts to establish a claim for securities fraud. In July 2017, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, again alleging violation of the federal securities laws, and five shareholder derivative actions are also pending in the Coordination Proceeding alleging breach of fiduciary duties against certain officers and certain


directors of Sempra Energy and/or SoCalGas, four of which were joined in a Consolidated Shareholder Derivative Complaint in August 2017. In March 2017, the SDCA dismissed a shareholder derivative action pending in that court, ruling that the plaintiff did not have standing to pursue the alleged claims; the plaintiff did not seek to amend his complaint to cure its deficiencies.
Pursuant to the Coordination Proceeding, in March 2017, the individuals and business entities asserting tort and Proposition 65 claims filed a Second Amended Consolidated Master Case Complaint for Individual Actions, through which their separate lawsuits will be managed for pretrial purposes.fraudulent concealment.

In January 2017, pursuant to the Coordination Proceeding, two consolidated class action complaintsFour shareholder derivative actions were filed alleging breach of fiduciary duties against SoCalGascertain officers and certain directors of Sempra Energy, one on behalf of a putative class of persons and businesses who own and/or lease real property within a five-mile radiusSoCalGas. Three of the well (the Property Class Action), and a second on behalf of a putative class of all persons and entities conducting business within five miles of the facility (the Business Class Action). Both complaints assert claims for strict liability for ultra-hazardous activities, negligence and violation of California Unfair Competition Law. The Property Class Action also asserts claims for negligence per se, trespass, permanent and continuing public and private nuisance, and inverse condemnation. The Business Class Action also asserts a claim for negligent interference with prospective economic advantage. Both complaints seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees.
Threefour shareholder derivative actions were joined in an Amended Consolidated Shareholder Derivative Complaint filed by public entities are pending, as follows. These lawsuits are also included in the Coordination Proceeding. First,same coordinated proceeding in July 2016, the CountyLA Superior Court, which was dismissed with prejudice in January 2021, and in June 2023, the Court of Los Angeles, on behalf of itself and the peopleAppeal of the State of California filed a complaint against SoCalGasSecond Appellate District Division Five affirmed the dismissal. Plaintiffs have sought review in the LA Superior Court for public nuisance, unfair competition, breach of franchise agreement, breach of lease, and damages. This suit alleges that the four natural gas storage fields operated by SoCalGas in Los Angeles County require safety upgrades, including the installation of a sub-surface safety shut-off valve on every well. It additionally alleges that SoCalGas failed to comply with the DPH Directive. It seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, civil penalties, and damages for the County’s costs to respond to the Leak, as well as punitive damages and attorneys’ fees.
Second, in August 2016, the California Attorney General, acting in an independent capacity and on behalf of the people of the State of California and the CARB, together with the Los Angeles City Attorney, filed a third amended complaint on behalf of the people of the State of California against SoCalGas alleging public nuisance, violation of the California Unfair Competition Law, violations of California Health and Safety Code sections 41700 (prohibiting discharge of air contaminants that cause annoyance to the public) and 25510 (requiring reporting of the release of hazardous material), as well as California Government Code section 12607 for equitable relief for the protection of natural resources. The complaint seeks an order for injunctive relief, to abate the public nuisance, and to impose civil penalties.
Third, in March 2017, the County of Los Angeles filed a petition for writ of mandate against DOGGR and its State Oil and Gas Supervisor, as to which SoCalGas is the real party in interest. In July 2017, the County amended the petition to add the CPUC and its Executive Director. The petition alleges that in issuing its July 19, 2017 determination that the requirements for the resumption of injection operations have been met, discussed under “Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability” below, DOGGR failed to comply with the provisions of SB 380, which requires a comprehensive safety review of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility before injection of natural gas may resume. The County alleges, among other things, that DOGGR failed to comply with the provisions of SB 380 in declaring the safety review complete and authorizing the resumption of injection of natural gas into the facility before the root cause analysis was complete, failing to make its safety-review documents available to the public and failing to address seismic risks to the field as part of its safety review. The County further alleges that CEQA requires DOGGR to perform an Environmental Impact Review before the resumption of injection of natural gas at the facility may be approved. The petition seeks a writ of mandate requiring DOGGR and the State Oil and Gas Supervisor to comply with SB 380 and CEQA, and to produce records in response to the County’s Public Records Act request; as well as, declaratory and injunctive relief against any authorization to inject natural gas and attorneys’ fees. On July 24, 2017, the County filed an application for an immediate stay of DOGGR’s order, a temporary restraining order and order to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not be issued to stop the reopening of the facility. On July 28, 2017, the Superior Court denied the application on the ground that, pursuant to Public Utilities Code sections 714 and 1759(a), the CPUC has jurisdiction over regulating injections at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, and the Court therefore lacks jurisdiction to rule on the County’s application. On July 31, 2017, the County filed a petition for writ of mandate, prohibition, stay or other appropriate relief and a request for immediate stay in the Court of Appeal, seeking review of the Superior Court’s order denying the County’s application for a temporary restraining order. Later the same day, the Court of Appeal denied the County’s request for an immediate stay on injections.


A complaint filed by the SCAQMD against SoCalGas seeking civil penalties for alleged violations of several nuisance-related statutory provisions arising from the Leak and delays in stopping the Leak was settled in February 2017, pursuant to which SoCalGas paid $8.5 million, of which $1 million is to be used to pay for a health study. The SCAQMD’s complaint was dismissed in February 2017.
Separately, in February 2016, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed a misdemeanor criminal complaint against SoCalGas seeking penalties and other remedies for alleged failure to provide timely notice of the Leak pursuant to California Health and Safety Code section 25510(a), Los Angeles County Code section 12.56.030, and Title 19 California Code of Regulations section 2703(a), and for allegedly violating California Health and Safety Code section 41700 prohibiting discharge of air contaminants that cause annoyance to the public. Pursuant to a settlement agreement with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, SoCalGas agreed to plead no contest to the notice charge under Health and Safety Code section 25510(a) and agreed to pay the maximum fine of $75,000, penalty assessments of approximately $233,500, and operational commitments estimated to cost approximately $5 million, reimbursement and assessments in exchange for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office moving to dismiss the remaining counts at sentencing and settling the complaint (the District Attorney Settlement). In November 2016, SoCalGas completed the commitments and obligations under the District Attorney Settlement, and on November 29, 2016, the Court approved the settlement and entered judgment on the notice charge. Certain individuals residing near the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility who objected to the settlement have filed a notice of appeal of the judgment, as well as a petition asking the LA Superior Court to set aside the November 29, 2016 order and grant them restitution.Supreme Court. The LA Superior Court dismissed the petitionremaining fourth action with prejudice in January 2017, ruling thatNovember 2022. Plaintiffs appealed this dismissal, but in October 2023, abandoned the petitioners haveappeal; as a remedy at law via their direct appeal.
The costs of defending against these civil and criminal lawsuits, cooperating with these investigations, and any damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, costs and other penalties, if awarded or imposed, as well asresult, the costs of mitigating the actual natural gas released, could be significant and to the extent not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.dismissal is final.
Regulatory Proceedings.Proceeding. In February 2017, the CPUC opened a proceeding pursuant to SB 380 OII to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region. The proceeding will be conducted in two phases, with Phase 1 undertaking a comprehensive effort to develop the appropriate analyses and scenarios to evaluate the impact of reducing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and Phase 2 evaluating the impacts of reducing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility using the scenarios and models adopted in Phase 1. In accordance with the Phase 1 schedule, public participation hearings began in April 2017, and workshops and additional public participation hearings are expected to occur later in 2017.
The order establishing the scope of the proceeding expressly excludesregion, but excluding issues with respect to air quality, public health, causation, culpability or cost responsibility regarding the Leak.
Section 455.5 The first phase of the California Public Utilities Code, among other things, directs regulated utilities to notifyproceeding established a framework for the CPUC if allhydraulic, production cost and economic modeling assumptions for the potential reduction in usage or any portionelimination of a major facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months. Although SoCalGas does not believe the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, as well as evaluating the impacts of reducing or any portion of that facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months, SoCalGas provided notification out of an abundance of caution to demonstrate its commitment to regulatory compliance and transparency, and because the process for obtaining authorization to resume injection operations at the facility required longer to complete than initially contemplated. In response, and as required by section 455.5, the CPUC issued an OII to address whethereliminating the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility using the established framework and models. The next phase of the proceeding included engaging a consultant to analyze alternative means for meeting or any portion of that facility has been out of serviceavoiding the demand for nine consecutive months pursuant to section 455.5, andthe facility’s services if it is determinedwere eliminated in either the 2027 or 2035 timeframe, and to have been outaddress potential implementation of service, whetheralternatives to the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility if the CPUC determines that the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility should adjust SoCalGas’ ratesbe permanently closed. The CPUC also added all California IOUs as parties to reflect the periodproceeding and encouraged all load serving entities in the facility is deemedLos Angeles Basin to have been out of service. Under section 455.5, hearings onjoin the investigation are to be held, if necessary, in conjunction with SoCalGas’ 2019 GRC proceeding; however,proceeding.
In November 2021, the CPUC issued a procedural schedule that includes an evidentiary hearingdecision on January 9, 2018, if needed. If the CPUC determines that all or any portioninterim range of the facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months, the amount of any refund to ratepayers and the inability to earn a return on those assets could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Governmental Orders and Additional Regulation. In January 2016, the Governor of the State of California issued an Order (the Governor’s Order) proclaiming a state of emergency to exist in Los Angeles County due to the Leak. The Governor’s Order imposes various orders with respect to: stopping the Leak; protecting public health and safety; ensuring accountability; and strengthening oversight. Most of the directives in the Governor’s Order have been fulfilled, with the following remaining open items: (1) applicable agencies must convene an independent panel of scientific and medical experts to review public health concerns stemming from the natural gas leak and evaluate whether additional measures are needed to protect public health; (2) the CPUC must ensure that SoCalGas covers costs related to the natural gas leak and its response, while protecting ratepayers, and CARB was ordered to develop a program to fully mitigate the leak’s emissions of methane by March 31, 2016, with such program to be funded by SoCalGas; and (3) DOGGR, CPUC, CARB and the CEC must submit to the Governor’s Office a report that assesses the long-term viability of natural gas storage facilities in California.


In December 2015, SoCalGas made a commitment to mitigate the actual natural gas released from the Leak and has been working on a plan to accomplish the mitigation. In March 2016, pursuant to the Governor’s Order, the CARB issued its Aliso Canyon Methane Leak Climate Impacts Mitigation Program, which set forth its recommended approach to achieve full mitigation of the emissions from the Leak. The CARB program requires that reductions in short-lived climate pollutants and other greenhouse gases be at least equivalent to the amount of the emissions from the Leak, and that the amount of reductions required be derived using the global warming potential based on a 20-year term (rather than the 100-year term the CARB and other state and federal agencies use in regulating emissions), resulting in a target of approximately 9,000,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. CARB’s program also calls for all of the mitigation to occur in California over the next five to ten years without the use of allowances or offsets. In October 2016, CARB issued its final report concluding that the incident resulted in total emissions from 90,350 to 108,950 metric tons of methane, and asserting that SoCalGas should mitigate 109,000 metric tons of methane to fully mitigate the greenhouse gas impacts of the Leak. We have not agreed with CARB’s estimate of methane released and continue to work with CARB on developing a mitigation plan.
In January 2016, the Hearing Board of the SCAQMD ordered SoCalGas to take various actions in connection with injecting and withdrawing natural gasinventory levels at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, sealingsetting an interim range of gas inventory levels of up to 41.16 Bcf. In August 2023, the well, monitoring, reporting, safety and fundingCPUC issued a health impact study, among other things (the Abatement Order), which was agreeddecision approving a new interim range of gas inventory levels of up to be satisfied by68.6 Bcf. The CPUC may issue future changes to this interim range of authorized gas inventory levels before issuing a final decision within the SCAQMD, and terminated by the Hearing Board in March 2017.SB 380 OII proceeding.
PHMSA, DOGGR, SCAQMD, EPA and CARB each commenced separate rulemaking proceedings to adopt further regulations covering natural gas storage facilities and injection wells. DOGGR issued new regulations following the Governor’s Order as described above, and in 2016, the California Legislature enacted four separate bills providing for additional regulation of natural gas storage facilities. Additional hearings in the California Legislature, as well as with various other federal and state regulatory agencies, have been or may be scheduled, additional legislation has been proposed in the California Legislature, and additional laws, orders, rules and regulations may be adopted.
Higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas as a result of new laws, orders, rules and regulations arising out of this incident or our responses thereto could be significant and may not be recoverable in customer rates, and such new laws, orders, rules and regulations could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability. Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important for service reliability during peak demand periods, including peak electric generation needs in the summer and heating needs in the winter. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, with a storage capacity of 86 Bcf (which represents 63 percent of SoCalGas’ natural gas storage inventory capacity), is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important element of SoCalGas’ delivery system. SoCalGas calculated that approximately 4.62 Bcf of natural gas was released fromAt September 30, 2023, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility ashad a resultnet book value of the Leak. SoCalGas did not inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility after October 25, 2015, pursuant to orders by DOGGR and the Governor, and in accordance with SB 380. Limited withdrawals of natural gas from the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility have been made in 2017 to augment natural gas supplies during critical demand periods.
The process to begin limited injection operations at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility was initiated in November 2016, when SoCalGas submitted a request to DOGGR seeking authorization to resume injection operations at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. In accordance with SB 380, DOGGR held public meetings in the affected community to provide the public an opportunity to comment on the safety review findings (the comment period has expired). Also, in April and June of 2017, SoCalGas advised the CAISO, CEC, CPUC and PHMSA of its concerns that the inability to inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility poses a risk to energy reliability in Southern California.
On July 19, 2017, DOGGR issued its determination that the requirements of SB 380 for the resumption of injection operations, including all safety requirements, have been met. On the same date, the CPUC’s Executive Director issued his concurrence with that determination, and DOGGR issued its Order to: Test and Take Temporary Actions Upon Resuming Injection: Aliso Canyon Gas Storage Facility. The order lifted the prohibition on injection at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, subject to its requirements that SoCalGas conduct and report results of a leak survey and measurement of total site methane emissions before resuming injection operations, as well as other requirements after injection resumes. The CPUC additionally issued a directive to SoCalGas to maintain a range of working gas in the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility at a target of 23.6 Bcf (approximately 28 percent of its maximum capacity), and at all times above 14.8 Bcf. DOGGR’s findings require SoCalGas to continue to operate the facility under restrictions that limit the rate at which it is able to withdraw natural gas from the field. The County of Los Angeles has filed a petition for writ of mandate seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and stay of DOGGR’s order lifting the prohibition against injecting natural gas at the facility. We provide further detail regarding the County of Los Angeles’ suit above in “Governmental Investigations and Civil and Criminal Litigation.” Also on July 19, 2017, the CEC released a letter to the CPUC indicating that its staff is prepared to work with the CPUC and other agencies on a plan to phase out the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility within ten years. The CEC and other stakeholders will be providing input into the SB 380 proceeding underway at the CPUC that


addresses the future of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. Having completed the steps outlined by state agencies to safely begin injections at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, as of July 31, 2017, SoCalGas resumed limited injections.

If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were determined to be out of service for any meaningful period of time or permanently closed or if future cash flows from its operation were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, it could result inwe may record an impairment of the facility, and significantlywhich could be material, or we could incur materially higher than expected operating costs and/or be required to make material additional capital expenditures (any or all of which may not be recoverable in rates), and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized.
Regulatory Proceeding – Resolved. In June 2019, the CPUC opened an OII (the Leak OII) to investigate and consider, among other things, whether SoCalGas should be sanctioned for the Leak and what damages, fines or other penalties, if any, should be imposed for any violations, unreasonable or imprudent practices or failure to cooperate sufficiently with SED, as well as to determine the amount of various costs incurred by SoCalGas and other parties in connection with the Leak and the ratemaking treatment or other disposition of such costs. In October 2022, SoCalGas executed a settlement agreement with SED and the Public Advocates Office at the CPUC to resolve all aspects of the Leak OII. The settlement agreement provides for financial penalties, certain costs that SoCalGas will reimburse, a violation of California Public Utilities Code section 451, and that SoCalGas will not seek recovery from ratepayers for costs previously incurred, among other provisions. In September 2023, the CPUC issued a final decision approving the settlement agreement.
Insurance and Accounting and Other Impacts. Since 2015, SoCalGas has incurred significant costs related to the Leak, including costs to defend against and settle civil litigation arising from the Leak. Other than insurance for directors’ and officers’ liability, we have exhausted all of our insurance for this matter. We continue to pursue other sources of insurance coverage for costs related to this matter, but we may not be successful in obtaining additional insurance recovery for any of these costs.
In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, SoCalGas recorded total charges of $122 million ($101 million after tax) and $259 million ($199 million after tax), respectively, in Aliso Canyon Litigation and Regulatory Matters on the SoCalGas and Sempra Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the litigation and regulatory proceedings associated with the Leak.

Property Disputes and Permit Challenges
Energía Costa Azul. Azul
We describe below certain land disputes and permit challenges affecting our ECA Regas Facility. Certain of these land disputes involve land on which portions of the ECA LNG liquefaction facilities under construction and in development are expected to be situated or on which portions of the ECA Regas Facility that would be necessary for the operation of such ECA LNG liquefaction facilities are situated. One or more unfavorable final decisions on these disputes or challenges could materially adversely affect our existing natural gas regasification operations and proposed natural gas liquefaction projects at the site of the ECA Regas Facility and have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Land Disputes.Sempra MexicoInfrastructure has been engaged in a long-running land dispute with a claimant relating to property adjacent to its Energía Costa Azul LNG terminal near Ensenada, Mexico. AECA Regas Facility that allegedly overlaps with land owned by the ECA Regas Facility (the facility, however, is not situated on the land that is the subject of this dispute), as follows:
The claimant to the adjacent property filed complaints in the federal Agrarian Court challenging the refusal of the SEDATU in 2006 to issue a title to him for the disputed property. In November 2013, the federal Agrarian Court ordered that SEDATU issue the requested title to the claimant and cause it to be registered. Both SEDATU and Sempra MexicoInfrastructure challenged the ruling due to lack of notification of the underlying process. Both challenges areIn May 2019, a federal court in Mexico reversed the ruling and ordered a retrial, which is pending resolution.
In a separate proceeding, the claimant filed suit to be resolvedreinitiate an administrative procedure at SEDATU to obtain the property title that, as described above, had previously been issued in a ruling by the federal Agrarian Court and subsequently reversed by a Federalfederal court in Mexico. In April 2021, the proceeding in the Agrarian Court concluded with the court ordering that the administrative procedure be restarted. The administrative procedure at SEDATU may continue if SEDATU decides to reopen the matter.
In addition, an area of real property on which part of the ECA Regas Facility is situated is subject to a claim in the federal Agrarian Court, in Mexico. Sempra Mexico expects additional proceedings regardingwhich the claims.
plaintiff seeks to annul the property title for a portion of the land on which the ECA Regas Facility is situated and to obtain possession of a different parcel that allegedly overlaps with the site of the ECA Regas Facility. The proceeding, which seeks an order that SEDATU annul the ECA Regas Facility’s competing property claimant alsotitle, was initiated in 2006 and, in July 2021, a decision was issued in favor of the ECA Regas Facility. The plaintiff appealed and, in February 2022, the appellate court confirmed the ruling in favor of the ECA Regas Facility and dismissed the appeal. The plaintiff filed a lawsuit in July 2010federal appeal against Sempra Energy in Federal District Court in San Diego seeking compensatory and punitive damages as well as the earningsappellate court ruling. A ruling from the Energía Costa Azul LNG terminal based on his allegations that he was wrongfully evicted from the adjacent property and that he has been harmed by other allegedly improper actions. In September 2015, the Court granted Sempra Energy’s motion for summary judgment and closed the case. The claimant appealed the summary judgment and an earlier order dismissing certain of his causes of action. In July 2017, the NinthFederal Collegiate Circuit Court of Appeal issued a ruling affirming the summary judgmentis pending.
Environmental and dismissal of his other causes of action, except one alleging theft of personal property in connection with the alleged eviction. In September 2017, the District Court dismissed the remaining claim.
Additionally, severalSocial Impact Permits. Several administrative challenges are pending in Mexico before theMexico’s Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (the Mexican environmental protection agencyagency) and the Federal Tax and Administrative Courts, seeking revocation of the environmental impact authorization issued to Energía Costa Azulthe ECA Regas Facility in 2003. These cases generally allege that the conditions and mitigation measures in the environmental impact authorization are inadequate and challenge findings that the activities of the terminal are consistent with regional development guidelines.
Two real property cases haveIn 2018 and 2021, three related claimants filed separate challenges in the federal district court in Ensenada, Baja California in relation to the environmental and social impact permits issued by each of ASEA and SENER to ECA LNG authorizing natural gas liquefaction activities at the ECA Regas Facility, as follows:
In the first case, the court issued a provisional injunction against the permits in September 2018. In December 2018, ASEA approved modifications to the environmental permit that facilitate the development of the proposed natural gas liquefaction facility in two phases. In May 2019, the court canceled the provisional injunction. The claimant appealed the court’s decision canceling the injunction but was not successful. The claimant’s underlying challenge to the permits remains pending.
In the second case, the initial request for a provisional injunction against the permits was denied. That decision was reversed on appeal in January 2020, resulting in the issuance of a new injunction against the permits that were issued by ASEA and SENER. This injunction has uncertain application absent clarification by the court. The claimants petitioned the court to rule that construction of natural gas liquefaction facilities violated the injunction and, in February 2022, the court ruled in favor of the ECA Regas Facility, holding that the natural gas liquefaction construction activities did not violate the injunction. The claimants appealed this ruling but were not successful. The claimants’ underlying challenge to the permits remains pending.
In the third case, a group of residents filed a complaint in June 2021 against various federal and state authorities alleging deficiencies in the public consultation process for the issuance of the permits. The request for an initial injunction was denied. The claimants appealed this ruling but were not successful. The lower court’s ruling was favorable to the ECA Regas Facility, as the court determined that no harm has been filed againstcaused to the plaintiffs and dismissed the lawsuit. The claimants appealed and the appellate court’s ruling is pending.

Litigation Related to Regulatory and Other Actions by the Mexican Government
Amendments to Mexico’s Electricity Industry Law. In March 2021, the Mexican government published a decree with amendments to Mexico’s Electricity Industry Law that include some public policy changes, including establishing priority of dispatch for CFE plants over privately owned plants. According to the decree, these amendments were to become effective in March 2021, and SENER, the CRE and Centro Nacional de Control de Energía Costa Azul.(Mexico’s National Center for Energy Control) were to have 180 calendar days to modify, as necessary, all resolutions, policies, criteria, manuals and other regulations applicable to the power industry to conform with this decree. However, a Mexican court issued a suspension of the amendments later in March 2021. In one,April 2022, the plaintiffs seekMexican Supreme Court resolved an action of unconstitutionality filed by a group of senators against the amended Electricity Industry Law, but the qualified majority of eight votes out of 11 as is required in matters involving constitutionality was not reached and the proceeding was dismissed, which means that the Mexican Supreme Court did not issue a binding precedent and the amended Electricity Industry Law remains in force. Sempra Infrastructure filed three lawsuits against the amendments to annul the recorded property title forElectricity Industry Law and, in each of them, Sempra Infrastructure obtained a parcel on which the Energía Costa Azul LNG terminal is situated and to obtain possession of a different parcel that allegedly sitsfavorable judgment in the same place. A second complaint was served in April 2013 seeking to invalidate the contract bylower courts, which Energía Costa Azul purchased another of the terminal parcels, on the grounds the purchase price was unfair. In January 2016, the second complaint was dismissedwere challenged by the Federal Agrarian Court.CRE. Final resolution is pending. If the proposed amendments are affirmed by the lower courts or by the Mexican Supreme Court (which in these cases would only require a simple majority vote), the CRE may be required to revoke self-supply permits granted under the former electricity law, which were grandfathered when the new Electricity Industry Law was enacted, under a legal standard that is ambiguous and not well-defined under the law. If such self-supply permits granted under the former electricity law are revoked, it may result in increased costs for Sempra Infrastructure and for its power consumers, adversely affect our ability to develop new projects, result in decreased revenues and cash flows, and negatively impact our ability to recover the carrying values of our investments in Mexico, expects further proceedingsany of which could have a material adverse effect on these two matters.Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Sonora Pipeline – Resolved
Guaymas-El Oro Segment of the Sonora PipelineSegment.. IEnova’s Sempra Infrastructure’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two segments, the Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment and the Guaymas-El Oro segment. Each segment has its own service agreement with the CFE. In 2015, the Yaqui tribe, with the exception of some members living in the Bácum community, granted its consent and a right-of-way easement agreement for the construction of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora natural gas pipeline that crosses its territory. Representatives of the Bácum community filed an amparoa legal challenge in Mexican Federal Courtfederal court demanding the right to withhold consent for the project, the stoppage of workresulting in the Yaqui territory and damages. The judge granted a suspension order in 2016 that prohibited the construction of such segment through the Bácum community territory. Because the pipeline does not pass through the Bácum community, IEnovaSempra Infrastructure did not believe the 2016 suspension order prohibited construction in the remainder of the Yaqui territory. As a result of the dispute, however, IEnovaterritory, construction was delayed in the construction of the approximately 14 kilometers of pipeline that pass through territory of the Yaqui tribe. The CFE agreed to extend the deadline for commercial operations until the second quarter of 2017. Construction of the Guaymas-El Oro segment is complete,completed, and commercial operations began in May 2017.
Following the start of commercial operations, Sempra Infrastructure reported damage to the Guaymas-El Oro segment in the Yaqui territory that has made that section inoperable since August 2017 and, as a result, Sempra Infrastructure declared a force majeure event. In 2017, an appellate court ruled that the scope of the 2016 suspension order encompassed the wider Yaqui territory. The amparo remains pending. IEnovaterritory, which has subsequently reportedprevented Sempra Infrastructure from making repairs to put the pipeline back in service. In July 2019, a federal district court ruled in favor of Sempra Infrastructure and held that the Yaqui tribe was properly consulted and that consent from the Yaqui tribe was properly received. Representatives of the Bácum community appealed this decision, causing the suspension order preventing Sempra Infrastructure from repairing the damage and declared a force majeure event forto the Guaymas-El Oro segment to remain in place until the appeals process was exhausted. Following a request by the CFE to dismiss the appeal based on the plan to re-route the portion of the Sonora pipeline that is in the Yaqui territory, in December 2022, the court of appeals reversed the federal district court’s ruling and ordered the district court to issue a new ruling that has interrupted its operations since August 23, 2017. There is no economic impact as of September 30, 2017. The Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment remains in full operation.

Other Litigation
RBS Sempra EnergyCommodities
Sempra holds a noncontrolling interestan equity method investment in RBS Sempra Commodities, a limited liability partnership in the process of being liquidated. In 2015, liquidators filed a claim in the High Court of Justice against RBS (now NatWest Markets plc, our partner in the joint venture, paid an £86 million assessment in October 2014 to HMRC for denied VAT refund claims filed in connection with the purchase of carbon credit allowances by RBS SEE, a subsidiary of RBS Sempra Commodities. RBS SEE has since been sold to JP MorganJV) and later to Mercuria Energy Group, Ltd. HMRC asserted that RBS was not entitled to reduce its VAT liability by VAT paid on certain carbon credit purchases during 2009 because RBS knew or should have known that certain vendors in the trading chain did not remit their own VAT to HMRC. After paying the assessment, RBS filed a Notice of Appeal of the assessment with the First-Tier Tribunal. The First-Tier Tribunal held a preliminary hearing in September 2016 to determine whether HMRC’s assessment was time-barred. In January 2017, the First-Tier Tribunal issued a decision in favor of HMRC concluding that the assessment was not time-barred. RBS has decided not to appeal the First-Tier Tribunal’s decision to the Upper Tribunal. There will be a hearing on the substantive matter regarding whether RBS knew or should have known that certain vendors in the trading chain did not remit their VAT to HMRC.
During 2015, liquidators, actingEurope Trading Limited (the Defendants) on behalf of ten10 companies (the Liquidating Companies) that engaged in carbon credit trading via chains that included a company that traded directly with RBS SEE, traded with directly, filed a claim in the High Courtsubsidiary of Justice asserting damages of £160 million against RBS and Mercuria Energy Europe Trading Limited (the Defendants).Sempra Commodities. The claim alleges that the Defendants’ participation in the purchase and sale of carbon credits resulted in the Liquidating Companies’ carbon credit trading transactions creating a VATvalue-added tax liability they were unable to pay. The £160 million is comprised of a claim bypay, and that the Companies for £80 millionDefendants are liable to provide for equitable compensation due to dishonest assistance and a claim bycompensation under the Liquidators for compensation in the same amount under theU.K. Insolvency Act of 1986. The parties have agreed that toTrial on the extentmatter was held in 2018. In March 2020, the Companies’ claims are successful, the liquidators cannot collect under the Insolvency ActHigh Court of 1986, however, the award amount is ultimately determined by the Court. TrialJustice rendered its judgment mostly in favor of the matterLiquidating Companies and awarded damages of approximately £45 million (approximately $55 million in U.S. dollars at September 30, 2023), plus costs and interest. In October 2020, the High Court of Justice assessed costs and interest to be approximately £21 million (approximately $26 million in U.S. dollars at September 30, 2023) as of that date, with interest continuing to accrue. The Defendants appealed and, in May 2021, the Court of Appeal set aside the High Court of Justice’s decision and ordered a retrial. In July 2022, the Supreme Court of the U.K. denied the Liquidating Companies application for permission to appeal the Court of Appeal’s decision. No date has been setscheduled for the summer of 2018.

Our remaining investmentAsbestos Claims Against EFH Subsidiaries
Certain EFH subsidiaries that we acquired as part of the merger of EFH with an indirect subsidiary of Sempra were defendants in RBS Sempra Commoditiespersonal injury lawsuits brought in state courts throughout the U.S. These cases alleged illness or death as a result of $67 million at September 30, 2017 is accountedexposure to asbestos in power plants designed and/or built by companies whose assets were purchased by predecessor entities to the EFH subsidiaries, and generally assert claims for product defects, negligence, strict liability and wrongful death. They sought compensatory and punitive damages. As of October 31, 2023, two lawsuits are pending. Additionally, approximately 28,000 proofs of claim were filed, but not discharged, in advance of a December 2015 deadline to file a proof of claim in the EFH bankruptcy proceeding on behalf of persons who allege exposure to asbestos under similar circumstances and assert the equity methodright to file such lawsuits in the future.

Ordinary Course Litigation
We are also defendants in ordinary routine litigation incidental to our businesses, including personal injury, employment litigation, product liability, property damage and other claims. Juries have demonstrated an increasing willingness to grant large awards, including punitive damages, in these types of cases.

LEASES
We discuss leases further in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Lessee Accounting
We have operating and finance leases for real and personal property (including office space, land, fleet vehicles, machinery and equipment, warehouses and other operational facilities) and PPAs with renewable energy, energy storage and peaker plant facilities.
SDG&E entered into an energy storage agreement that commenced in the second quarter of 2023 and expires in 2033. SDG&E recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability of $101 million. Undiscounted lease payments are $9 million in 2023, $13 million in each of 2024 through 2027 and $66 million thereafter.
Leases That Have Not Yet Commenced
SDG&E has entered into seven purchased-power contracts, of which SDG&E expects one will commence in the fourth quarter of 2023, two will commence in 2024, three will commence in 2025, and one will commence in 2026. SDG&E expects the future minimum lease payments to be $32 million in 2024, $61 million in 2025, $82 million in 2026, $83 million in 2027 and $919 million thereafter until expiration in 2041.

CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS
We discuss below significant changes in the first nine months of 20172023 to contractual commitments discussed in Notes 1 and 15Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Natural Gas Contracts
Sempra LNG & Midstream’sInfrastructure’s natural gas purchasecontracts and natural gas storage and transportation commitments have decreasedincreased by $188approximately $877 million since December 31, 2016,2022 primarily due to payments on existingfrom entering into new storage and transportation contracts and changes in forward natural gas prices in the first nine months of 2017. Net2023. We expect future payments are expected to decrease by $192$29 million in 20172023, and increase by $3$38 million in 20182024, $35 million in 2025, $33 million in 2026, $30 million in 2027 and $1$770 million thereafter through expiration in 2059 compared to December 31, 2016.
In May 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream permanently released certain pipeline capacity that it held with Rockies Express and others, which we discuss in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. The effect of the permanent capacity releases resulted in a pretax charge of $206 million ($123 million after-tax) in the second quarter of 2016, recorded in Other Cost of Sales on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In May 2017, Sempra LNG & Midstream


received settlement proceeds of $57 million from a breach of contract claim against a counterparty in bankruptcy court. Of the total proceeds, $47 million related to the $206 million charge we recorded in 2016 resulting from the permanent release of certain pipeline capacity. Sempra LNG & Midstream recorded the settlement proceeds as a reduction to Other Cost of Sales on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the second quarter of 2017.2022.
LNG Purchase Agreement
Sempra LNG & MidstreamInfrastructure has a purchase agreementan SPA for the supply of LNG to the Energía Costa Azul terminal.ECA Regas Facility. The commitment amount is calculated using a predetermined formula based on estimated forward prices of the index applicable from 20172023 to 2029. At September 30, 2017, the commitment amount is expected to decrease by $425 million in 2017, $40 million in 2018, $22 million in 2019, $32 million in 2020, $37 million in 2021 and $775 million thereafter (through contract termination in 2029) compared to December 31, 2016, reflecting changes in estimated forward prices since December 31, 2016 and actual transactions for the first nine months of 2017. These LNG commitment amounts are based on the assumption that all cargoes, less those already confirmed to be diverted, under the agreement are delivered. Although this agreement specifies a number of cargoes to be delivered, under its terms, the customersupplier may divert certain cargoes, which would reduce amounts paid under the agreement by Sempra Infrastructure. At September 30, 2023, we expect the commitment amount to decrease by $980 million in 2023, $62 million in 2024, $45 million in 2025, $47 million in 2026, $58 million in 2027 and $136 million thereafter (through contract termination in 2029) compared to December 31, 2022, reflecting changes in estimated forward prices since December 31, 2022 and actual transactions for the first nine months of 2023. These LNG & Midstream.commitment amounts are based on the assumption that all LNG cargoes under the agreement are delivered, less those already confirmed to be diverted as of September 30, 2023. Actual LNG purchases in the current and prior years have been significantly lower than the maximum amount provided under the agreement due to the customersupplier electing to divert cargoes as allowed by the agreement.
Capital Leases Power Purchase AgreementsPurchased-Power Contracts
In 2015, SDG&E entered into a CPUC-approved 25-year PPA with a peaker power plant facility. Construction of the peaker power plant facility was completed and delivery of contracted power commenced in June 2017, at which time we recorded a $500 million capital lease obligation on SDG&E’s purchased-power contract commitments have increased by approximately $482 million since December 31, 2022 primarily from entering into energy storage, hybrid renewable energy and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We discuss commitments related to this capital lease obligation in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
In the first quarter of 2017, SDG&E satisfied all of the conditions precedentenergy storage, and resource adequacy agreements for a CPUC-approved 20-year PPA with a 500-MW power plant facility that is under construction. Beginning with the initial delivery of the contracted power, scheduled in 2018, the PPA will be accounted for as a capital lease. Future minimum lease payments under the new PPA are as follows:

The entities that own the peaker plant facilities are VIEs of which SDG&E is not the primary beneficiary. SDG&E does not have any additional implicit or explicit financial responsibility related to these VIEs.
Construction and Development Projects
SDG&E
In the first nine months of 2017, significant net increases to contractual commitments at SDG&E were $23 million, primarily for construction and infrastructure improvements for transmission systems. Net future payments under these contractual commitments are expected2023. At September 30, 2023, we expect the commitment amount to increase by $2$14 million in 2017 and $262023, $3 million in 2018, decrease by $72024, $13 million in 2019, increase by $72025, $32 million in 2020 and $22026, $33 million in 2021,2027, and decrease by $7$387 million thereafter through expiration in 2042 compared to December 31, 2016.2022.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
We disclose any proceeding under environmental laws to which a government authority is a party when the first nine monthspotential monetary sanctions, exclusive of 2017, significant net increases to contractual commitments at Sempra Renewables were $155 million, primarily for contracts related tointerest and costs, exceed the constructionlesser of renewable energy projects. Net future payments under these contractual


commitments are expected to increase total commitments by $124 million in 2017, $26 million in 2018, $2 million in both 2019 and 2020 and $1 million in 2021 compared to December 31, 2016.
NUCLEAR INSURANCE
or 1% of current assets, which was $53 million for Sempra, $19 million for SDG&E and the other owners of SONGS have insurance to cover claims from nuclear liability incidents arising at SONGS. This insurance provides $450 million in coverage limits, the maximum amount available, including coverage for acts of terrorism. In addition, the Price-Anderson Act provides for up to $13 billion of SFP. If a nuclear liability loss occurring at any U.S. licensed/commercial reactor exceeds the $450 million insurance limit, all nuclear reactor owners could be required to contribute to the SFP. In such case, SDG&E’s contribution would be up to $50.9 million. This amount is subject to an annual maximum of $7.6 million, unless a default occurs by any other SONGS owner. If the SFP is insufficient to cover the liability loss, SDG&E could be subject to an additional assessment.
The SONGS owners, including SDG&E, also maintain nuclear property damage insurance that exceeds the minimum federal requirements of $1.06 billion. This insurance coverage is provided through NEIL. The NEIL policies have specific exclusions and limitations that can result in reduced or eliminated coverage. Insured members as a group are subject to retrospective premium assessments to cover losses sustained by NEIL under all issued policies. SDG&E could be assessed up to $10.4 million of retrospective premiums based on overall member claims. All of SONGS’ insurance claims arising out of the failures of the MHI replacement steam generators have been settled with NEIL, as we discuss in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
The nuclear property insurance program includes an industry aggregate loss limit for non-certified acts of terrorism (as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act). The industry aggregate loss limit for property claims arising from non-certified acts of terrorism is $3.24 billion. This is the maximum amount that will be paid to insured members who suffer losses or damages from these non-certified terrorist acts.
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NUCLEAR FUEL DISPOSAL
The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 made the DOE responsible for accepting, transporting, and disposing of spent nuclear fuel. However, it is uncertain when the DOE will begin accepting spent nuclear fuel from SONGS. This delay will lead to increased costs for spent fuel storage. SDG&E will continue to support Edison in its pursuit of claims on behalf of the SONGS co-owners against the DOE for its failure to timely accept the spent nuclear fuel. In April 2016, Edison executed a spent fuel settlement agreement with the DOE for $162 million covering damages incurred from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2013. In May 2016, Edison refunded SDG&E $32$14 million for its respective share of the damage award paid. In applying this refund, SDG&E recorded a $23 million reduction to the SONGS regulatory asset, an $8 million reduction of its nuclear decommissioning balancing account and a $1 million reduction in its SONGS O&M cost balancing account.SoCalGas at September 30, 2023.
In September 2016, Edison filed claims with the DOE for $56 million in spent fuel management costs incurred in 2014 and 2015 on behalf of the SONGS co-owners under the terms of the 2016 spent fuel settlement agreement. In February 2017, the DOE reduced the request to approximately $43 million primarily due to reductions to the claimed fuel canister costs. SDG&E received its $9 million respective share of the claim from Edison in May 2017 and recorded the proceeds in balancing accounts or as reductions to regulatory assets for the benefit of ratepayers.
In October 2015, the California Coastal Commission approved Edison’s application for the proposed expansion of an ISFSI at SONGS. The ISFSI expansion began construction in 2016 and is expected to be fully loaded with spent fuel by 2019 and to operate until 2049, when it is assumed that the DOE will have taken custody of all the SONGS spent fuel. The ISFSI would then be decommissioned, and the site restored to its original environmental state.
We provide additional information about SONGS in Note 9 above and in Notes 13 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
We maintain credit policies and systems designed to manage our overall credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition and an assignment of credit limits. These credit limits are established based on risk and return considerations under terms customarily available in the industry. We grant credit to utility customers and counterparties, substantially all of whom are located in our service territory, which covers most of Southern California and a portion of central California for SoCalGas, and all of San Diego County and an adjacent portion of Orange County for SDG&E. We also grant credit to utility customers and counterparties of our other companies providing natural gas or electric services in Mexico, Chile and Peru.


As they become operational, projects owned or partially owned by Sempra LNG & Midstream, Sempra Renewables, Sempra South American Utilities and Sempra Mexico place significant reliance on the ability of their suppliers, customers and partners to perform on long-term agreements and on our ability to enforce contract terms in the event of nonperformance. We consider many factors, including the negotiation of supplier and customer agreements, when we evaluate and approve development projects.

ADJUSTED EARNINGS AND ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE
We prepare the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. However, management may use earnings and EPS adjusted to exclude certain items (referred to as adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS) internally for financial planning, for analysisresolution of performance and for reporting of results to the Board of Directors. We may also use adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS when communicating our financial results and earnings outlook to analysts and investors. Adjusted earnings and adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. 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 business operations to prior and 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 U.S. GAAP.year income tax items.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES, COSTS AND EARNINGS
This section contains a discussion of the differences between periods in certainthe specific line items of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for Sempra, Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas.


Utilities Revenues and Cost of Sales
Our utilities revenues include
Electric revenues at:
SDG&E
Sempra South American Utilities’ Chilquinta Energía and Luz del Sur
Natural natural gas revenues at:
SDG&E
SoCalGas
Sempra Mexico’s Ecogas
Sempra LNG & Midstream’s Mobile Gas and Willmut Gas (prior to the sale of EnergySouth on September 12, 2016)
at SoCalGas and SDG&E and Sempra Infrastructure’s Ecogas and electric revenues at SDG&E. Intercompany revenues included in the separate revenues of each utility are eliminated in the Sempra EnergySempra’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
SoCalGas and SDG&E currently operate under a regulatory framework that:that permits:
permits SDG&E to recover the actual cost incurred to generate or procure electricity based on annual estimates of the cost of electricity supplied to customers. The differences in cost between estimates and actual are recovered in subsequent periods through rates.
permits the cost of natural gas purchased for core customers (primarily residential and small commercial and industrial customers) to be passed through to customers in rates substantially as incurred. However, SoCalGas’ GCIM provides SoCalGas the opportunity to share in the savings and/or costs from buying natural gas for its core customers at prices below or above monthly market-based benchmarks. This mechanism permits full recovery of costs incurred when average purchase costs are within a price range around the benchmark price. Any higher costs incurred or savings realized outside this range are shared between the core customers and SoCalGas. We provide further discussion in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business” in the Annual Report.
also permits the California Utilities to recover certain expenses for programs authorized by the CPUC, or “refundable programs.”
The cost of natural gas purchased for core customers (primarily residential and small commercial and industrial customers) to be passed through to customers in rates substantially as incurred and without markup. The GCIM provides for SoCalGas to share in the savings and/or costs from buying natural gas for its core customers at prices below or above monthly market-based benchmarks. This mechanism permits full recovery of costs incurred when average purchase costs are within a price range around the benchmark price. Any higher costs incurred or savings realized outside this range are shared between core customers and SoCalGas.
SDG&E to recover the actual cost incurred to generate or procure electricity based on annual estimates of the cost of electricity supplied to customers. The differences in cost between estimates and actual are recovered or refunded in subsequent periods through rates.
SoCalGas and SDG&E to recover certain program expenditures and other costs authorized by the CPUC, herein referred to as “refundable programs.”
Because changes in SoCalGas’ and SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ cost of electricitynatural gas and/or natural gas is substantiallyelectricity are recovered in rates, changes in these costs are reflectedoffset in the changes in revenues and therefore do not impact earnings.earnings, other than potential impacts related to the GCIM for SoCalGas that we describe above. In addition to the changechanges in cost or market prices, electricnatural gas or natural gaselectric revenues recorded during a period are impacted by customer usage causing athe difference between customer billings and recorded or authorized costs.CPUC-authorized amounts. These differences are required to be balanced over time, resulting in over- and undercollected regulatory balancing accounts. We discuss balancing accounts and their effects further in Note 144 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
SoCalGas’ and SDG&E’s revenues are decoupled from, or not tied to, actual sales volumes. SoCalGas recognizes annual authorized revenue for natural gas customers using seasonal factors established in applicable proceedings, resulting in a significant portion of SoCalGas’ earnings being recognized in the first and fourth quarters of each year. SDG&E’s authorized revenue recognition is also impacted by seasonal factors, resulting in higher earnings in the third quarter when electric loads are typically higher than in the other three quarters of the year. We discuss this decoupling mechanism and its effects further in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Electric Revenues and Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power
In the three months ended September 30, 2017, our electric revenues increased by $16 million (1%) remaining at $1.5 billion due to:
$20 million increase at SDG&E, which included
$53 million higher cost of electric fuel and purchased power, which we discuss below, and
$14 million increase in 2017 due to an increase in rates permitted under the attrition mechanism in the 2016 GRC FD, offset by
$25 million charge in 2017 associated with tracking the income tax benefit from certain flow-through items in relation to forecasted amounts in the 2016 GRC FD,
$15 million lower recovery of costs associated with CPUC-authorized refundable programs, which revenues are fully offset in O&M, and
$5 million in 2016 to adjust estimated 2015 income tax benefits generated from income tax repairs deductions that were reallocated to ratepayers pursuant to the CPUC 2016 GRC FD to actual deductions taken on the 2015 tax return; offset by
$3 million decrease at Sempra South American Utilities, which included

$6 million increase at Sempra South American Utilities, which included
$39 million foreign currency exchange rate effects, and
$33 million higher rates at Luz del Sur, offset by
$58 million lower volumes at Luz del Sur primarily due to the migration of regulated and non-regulated customers to tolling customers, who pay only a tolling fee and do not contribute to customer load.
In the first nine months of 2017, our utilities’ cost of electric fuel and purchased power increased by $50 million (3%) remaining at $1.7 billion due to:
$68 million increase at SDG&E mainly due to an increase in the cost of purchased power primarily as a result of higher natural gas prices; offset by
$18 million decrease at Sempra South American Utilities, which included
$35 million lower volumes at Luz del Sur, and
$12 million lower costs at Chilquinta Energía, offset by
$27 million due to foreign currency exchange rate effects.

Sempra Energy Consolidated
Sempra Energy’sUnder the IRA, beginning in 2023, the scope of projects eligible for investment tax credits was expanded to include standalone energy storage projects. The IRA also provided an election that prospectively permits investment tax credits related to standalone energy storage projects to be returned to utility customers over a period that is shorter than the life of the applicable asset. Under this election, SDG&E recorded a regulatory liability to offset these investment tax credits, which reduced SDG&E’s and Sempra’s ETR in 2023.
In April 2023, the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2023-15, which provides a safe harbor method of accounting for gas repairs expenditures. As a result of this Revenue Procedure, SoCalGas updated its assessment of prior years’ unrecognized income tax benefits and, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, recorded an income tax benefit of $43 million for previously unrecognized income tax benefits pertaining to gas repairs expenditures. SoCalGas recorded an associated regulatory liability for the portion that will benefit customers in the future. We are assessing the potential future impacts of this Revenue Procedure.
Sempra
In the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to2023, Sempra’s income tax expense in the same period of 2016 was due to lower pretax income in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The pretax income in 2017 includes a $351 million ($208 million after tax) impairment of SDG&E’s wildfire regulatory asset, which we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. The pretax income in 2016 includes a $617 million noncash gain ($350 million after tax and noncontrolling interests) associated with the remeasurement of Sempra Mexico’s equity interest in IEnova Pipelines, which we discuss in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. The change to income taxes was also impacted by:
$18 million income tax benefit in 2017 compared to $5 million income tax expense in 2016 from the resolution of prior years’ income tax items; and
$9 million higher income tax benefit in 2017 from foreign currency and inflation effects primarily as a result of depreciation of the Mexican peso in the third quarter of 2017; offset by
$31 million tax benefit in 2016 from a reduction to the outside basis deferred tax liability on our investment in TdM that is held for sale.
The increase in income tax expense in the first nine months of 2017 was due to a higher effective income tax rate, offset by lower pretax income. The lower pretax income was impacted by the impairment of SDG&E’s wildfire regulatory asset in 2017 and the noncash gain from the remeasurement of Sempra Mexico’s equity interest in IEnova Pipelines in 2016, both described above. The higher effective income tax rate was primarily due to:
$136 million income tax expense in 2017 compared to $28 million income tax benefit in 2016 from foreign currency and inflation effects primarily as a result of significant appreciation of the Mexican peso in 2017;
$1 million income tax expense in 2017 compared to $34 million income tax benefit in 2016 associated with excess tax deficiencies/benefits related to share-based compensation; and
$23 million valuation allowance in 2017 against deferred tax assets at TdM that is held for sale, including $12 million associated with the impairment in the second quarter of 2017. We discuss the planned sale and the impairment further in Notes 3 and 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein; offset by
$27 million income tax benefit in 2017 compared to $5 million income tax expense in 2016 related to the resolution of prior years’ income tax items; and
$13 million U.S. income tax expense in 2016 on planned repatriation of earnings from certain non-U.S. subsidiaries. We discuss repatriation in “Results of Operations – Changes in Revenues, Costs and Earnings – Income Taxes” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Annual Report.
SDG&E
SDG&E’s income tax benefit in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to income tax expense in the same period in 20162022 was primarily due to a pretax lossto:
$49 million income tax benefit in the three-month period in 20172023 compared to pretax income in the corresponding period in 2016, and from a change in the effective$4 million income tax rates. Thebenefit in 2022 from foreign currency and inflation effects on our monetary positions in Mexico;
$23 million income tax benefit in 2023 associated with the remeasurement of certain deferred income taxes; and
income tax benefit in 2023 from the recognition of investment tax credits from standalone energy storage projects; offset by
$21 million income tax benefit in 2022 associated with charges relating to litigation and regulatory matters pertaining to the Leak; and
higher pretax loss in 2017 included the $351 million impairmentincome.

The increase in SoCalGas’ income tax expense in the first nine months of 2017 was primarily due to higher pretax income. Also, the effective income tax rate was impacted by:
$10 million income tax benefit in 2017 compared to $10 million income tax expense in 2016 related to the resolution of prior years’ income tax items;credits from standalone energy storage projects. offset by
$4 million income tax benefit in 2016 associated with excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation.
We discuss the forecasted effective tax rates anticipated for the full year, excluding the income tax effects that cannot be reliably forecasted, for Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas in “Results of Operations
Changes in Revenues, Costs and Earnings Income Taxes” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Annual Report.
We discuss the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and inflation on income taxes below in “Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations.” See Note 51 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements hereinin this report and Notes 1 and 68 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report for further details about our accounting for income taxes and items subject to flow-through treatment.

IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATES ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Because our operations in South America and our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico, use theirEcogas, uses its local currency as theirits functional currency, revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period for consolidation in Sempra Energy Consolidated’sSempra’s results of operations. Some income statement activities at our foreign operations and their joint ventures are also impacted by transactional gains and losses. We discuss further the impact of foreign currency and inflation rates on results of operations, including impacts on income taxes and related hedging activity, in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations“Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in the Annual Report.
Foreign Currency Translation
Any difference in average exchange rates used for the translation of income statement activity from year to year can cause a variance in Sempra Energy’sSempra’s comparative results of operations. ChangesIn the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the change in our earnings as a result of foreign currency translation rates between years impacted our comparative reported results as follows:was higher by $1 million and $3 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022.

OVERVIEW
Sempra
Liquidity
We expect to meet our cash requirements of our current operations through cash flows from operations, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, borrowings under or supported by our credit facilities, other incurrences of debt which may include issuing debt securities and obtaining term loans, and other financing transactions which may include issuing equity securities, distributions from our equity method investments, issuances of debt and equity securities, project financing and equity sales, including tax equity and partnering in joint ventures. We discuss the anticipated financing and cash flow impacts of our pending acquisition of EFH below.
Our lines of credit provide liquidity and support commercial paper. As we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein, Sempra Energy, Sempra Global (the holding company for our subsidiaries not subject to California utility regulation) and the California Utilities each have five-year revolving credit facilities expiring in 2020. The table below shows the amount of available funds, including available unused credit on these three credit facilities, at September 30, 2017. Our foreign operations have additional general purpose credit facilities aggregating $1.7 billion, with $844 million available unused credit at September 30, 2017.

However, changingour ability to access these markets or obtain credit from commercial banks outside of our committed revolving credit facilities could become materially constrained if economic conditions worsen or disruptions to or volatility in these markets increase. Debt funding has become less attractive due to the recent rise in both short-term and matters related tolong-term interest rates. In addition, our pending acquisition of EFHfinancing activities and actions by credit rating agencies, as well as many other factors, could negatively affect the availability and cost of both short-term and long-term debt financing and equity financing.

If cash flows from operations were to be significantly reduced or we were unable to borrow or obtain other financing under acceptable terms, we would likely first reduce or postpone discretionary capital expenditures (not related to safety)safety/reliability) and investments in new businesses. If these measures were necessary, they would primarily impact our Sempra Infrastructure businesses before we would reduce funds necessary for the ongoing needs of our utilities. We monitor our ability to finance the needs of our operating, investing and financing activities in a manner consistent with our intentiongoal to maintain our investment-grade credit ratings and capital structure.ratings.

On October 13, 2017, Sempra Energy publicly offered and sold $850 million of floating rate notes, maturing on March 15, 2021. The floating rate notes bear interest at a rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 45 basis points. The interest rate is reset quarterly. Sempra Energy used a substantial portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding commercial paper with remaining proceeds used for general corporate purposes.
We have significant investments in several trusts to provide for future payments of pensions and other postretirement benefits, and nuclear decommissioning. Changes in asset values, which are dependent on the activity in the equity and fixed income markets, have not affected the trust funds’ abilities to make required payments. However, changes in asset values may, along with a number of other factors such as changes to discount rates, assumed rates of return, mortality tables, and regulations, impact funding requirements for pension and other postretirement benefit plans and SDG&E’s NDT. At the California Utilities, funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates. We discuss our employee benefit plans and SDG&E’s NDT, including our investment allocation strategies for assets in these trusts, in Notes 7 and 13, respectively, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Pending Acquisition of Energy Future Holdings Corp.
On August 21, 2017, Sempra Energy entered into a Merger Agreement to acquire EFH, the indirect owner of an 80.03-percent interest in Oncor (the Merger). Under the Merger Agreement, we will pay total consideration of $9.45 billion in cash, subject to possible adjustment that we do not expect to be material (the Merger Consideration). We currently intend to initially finance the transaction, along with associated transaction costs, with the net proceeds fromshort-term debt and equity issuances, and could also likely utilize revolving credit facilities, commercial paper and/or cash on hand. We currently intend to ultimately fund approximately 65 percent of the Merger Consideration with the net proceeds from sales of Sempra Energy common stock and, possibly, other equity securities and approximately 35 percent with the net proceeds from issuances of Sempra Energy debt securities. Some of the equity financing may be obtained after completion of the Merger and used to repay indebtedness incurred to finance the Merger Consideration and associated transaction costs. Our ability to raise the necessary funds through the sale of Sempra Energy equity securities and debt securities is subject to market conditions and other risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the necessary funds on terms we consider acceptable, or at all.
We anticipate that the Merger, if consummated on the terms and under the financing structure currently contemplated, will have a positive impact on our consolidated results of operations. This expectation is based on current market conditions and is subject to a number of assumptions, estimates, projections and other uncertainties, including assumptions regarding the results of operations of the combined company after the Merger, the relative mix and timing of debt and equity financing necessary to fund the Merger Consideration and the price and interest rates at which we will be able to sell our debt and equity securities. This expectation also assumes that Oncor will perform in accordance with our expectations, and there can be no assurance that this will occur. In addition, we may encounter additional transaction costs and costs to manage our investment in Oncor, may fail to realize some or any of the benefits anticipated in the Merger, may be subject to currently unknown liabilities as a result of the Merger, or may be subject to other factors that affect preliminary estimates.
At September 30, 2017, in connection with our pending acquisition of EFH, we had a commitment letter providing, subject to customary conditions, for a $4.0 billion, 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility from a syndicate of banks to backstop a portion of our obligations to pay the Merger Consideration. However, the $4.0 billion commitment is reduced by the amount of funds received through Sempra Energy’s sales of equity securities and debt securities, subject in each case to certain exceptions. At September 30, 2017, we had no amounts outstanding under this bridge facility.
We provide additional discussion regarding the Merger and financing risksactivities in Note 36 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and below in “Factors Influencing Future Performance”“Sources and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.Uses of Cash.

Credit Ratings
We provide additional information about the credit ratings of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Part II – Item 2. MD&A – Capital Resources and Liquidity” in the Annual Report.
The credit ratings of Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas remained at investment grade levels in the first nine months of 2023.
CREDIT RATINGS AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

FitchBBB+ with a stable outlookBBB+ with a stable outlookA with a stable outlook
A downgrade of Sempra’s or any of its subsidiaries’ credit ratings or rating outlooks may, depending on the severity, result in the imposition of financial or other burdensome covenants or a requirement for collateral to be posted in the case of certain financing arrangements and may materially and adversely affect the market prices of their equity and debt securities, the rates at which borrowings are made and commercial paper is issued, and the various fees on their outstanding credit facilities. This could make it more costly for Sempra, SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra’s other subsidiaries to issue debt securities, to borrow under credit facilities and to raise certain other types of financing.
Sempra has agreed that, if the credit rating of Oncor’s senior secured debt by any of the three major rating agencies falls below BBB (or the equivalent), Oncor will suspend dividends and other distributions (except for contractual tax payments), unless otherwise allowed by the PUCT. Oncor’s senior secured debt was rated A2, A+ and A at Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, at September 30, 2023.
Loans to/from Affiliates
At September 30, 2023, Sempra had $308 million in loans due to unconsolidated affiliates.
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
The IRA was signed into law in August 2022. The IRA includes tax credits and other incentives for energy and climate initiatives and introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. We do not currently expect the IRA to have a material adverse impact on Sempra’s, SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows. We will continue to assess the impacts of the IRA as the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS issue guidance on tax implementation, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and DOE issue guidance on energy and climate initiatives.
SempraCalifornia
SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ operations have historically provided relatively stable earnings and liquidity. Their future performance and liquidity will depend primarily on the ratemaking and regulatory process, environmental regulations, economic conditions, actions by legislators, litigation and the changing energy marketplace, as well as other matters described in this report. SDG&E and SoCalGas expect that the available unused funds from their credit facilities described above, which also supports their commercial paper programs, cash flows from operations, and other incurrences of debt issuancesincluding issuing debt securities and obtaining term loans will continue to be adequate to fund their respective operations.
current operations and planned capital expenditures. SDG&E declared and paid common stock dividends of $450 million in the first nine months of 2017 and $175 million in the year ended December 31, 2016. SDG&E does not anticipate further dividend payments for 2017.
As a result of SoCalGas’ large capital investment program, SoCalGas has not declared or paid common stock dividends since 2015. SoCalGas does not anticipate paying common stock dividends in 2017, in order to maintain its authorized capital structure while managing its large capital program of over $1 billion in 2017.


The California Utilities manage their capital structurestructures and pay dividends when appropriate and as approved by their respective boards of directors.
ChangesAs we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, changes in regulatory balancing accounts for significant costs at SDG&E and SoCalGas, particularly a change in status between over- and under- collected,undercollected status, may have a significant impact on cash flows, as theseflows. These changes generally represent the difference between when costs are incurred and when they are ultimately recovered or refunded in rates through billings to customers. SDG&E uses the ERRA balancing account to record the net
99

Table of its actual cost incurred for electric fuel and purchased power. SDG&E’s ERRA balance was undercollected by $25 million, $93 million and $130 million at December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The increases in the ERRA undercollected balance in 2017 have been primarily due to lower electric volume in conjunction with seasonalized electric rates. ContentsThe
CPUC authorized an ERRA Trigger mechanism in conjunction with California state law that allows for recoveryCost of ERRA balances that exceed 5 percent of the prior year’s electric commodity revenues. To reduce the undercollected ERRA balance, SDG&E filed an ERRA Trigger application with the CPUC in May 2017 requesting recovery of $120 million to be amortized in rates over a 14-month period beginning November 2017. In August 2017, the CPUC issued a decision approving the request as filed. SDG&E’s ERRA balance was undercollected by $72 million at September 30, 2017.Capital
SoCalGas and SDG&E use the CFCA balancing account to record the difference between the authorized margin and other costs allocated to core customers. Because warm weather experienced in 2016 and 2017 resulted in lower natural gas consumption compared to authorized levels, SoCalGas’ CFCA balance was undercollected by $93 million at September 30, 2017 and $114 million at December 31, 2016. SDG&E’s CFCA balance was undercollected by $18 million at September 30, 2017 and $66 million at December 31, 2016.

Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
We provide information on the natural gas leak at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility further in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in “Factors Influencing Future Performance” below, as well as in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report. The costs of defending against the related civil and criminal lawsuits and cooperating with related investigations, and any damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, costs and other penalties, if awarded or imposed, as well as costs of mitigating the actual natural gas released, could be significant, and to the extent not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Also, higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas as a result of new laws, orders, rules and regulations arising out of this incident or our responses thereto could be significant and may not be recoverable in customer rates, which may have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
The total costs incurred to remediate and stop the leak and to mitigate local community impacts are significant and may increase, and to the extent not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

In April 2017, IEnova entered into a revolving credit facility agreement, expiring in March 2022, with IMG for up to $9.0 billion Mexican pesos or approximately $495 million U.S. dollar-equivalent, to provide financing to IMG for the construction of the Sur de Texas - Tuxpan natural gas marine pipeline and for general corporate purposes, including repayment of other outstanding debt. At September 30, 2017, $5.6 billion Mexican pesos or approximately $307 million U.S. dollar-equivalent is outstanding against the line of credit. IEnova also has provided guarantees for certain obligations of IMG not to exceed $288 million, asAs we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, herein.


In October 2017, IEnova entered into an agreement to purchase PEMEX’s 50-percent interest in DENthe CPUC approved the cost of capital for total consideration of approximately $231 million, including repayment of approximately $81 million of outstanding debt owed by DEN to PEMEX. The transaction is subject to satisfactory completion of Mexican antitrust reviewSDG&E and other customary closing conditions, and we expect it to close in the fourth quarter of 2017. We discuss this pending acquisition further in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. The cash consideration will be funded through IEnova’s revolving credit facility.
Sempra Renewables
We expect Sempra Renewables to require funds for the development of and investment in electric renewable energy projects. Projects at Sempra Renewables may be financed through a combination of operating cash flow, project financing, funding from the parent, partnering in joint ventures, and other forms of equity sales, including tax equity. The varying costs and structure of these alternative financing sources impact the projects’ returns and their earnings profile.
In September and October 2017, Sempra Renewables entered into membership interest purchase agreements with financial institutions to form tax equity limited liability companiesSoCalGas that include a Sempra Renewables wind power generation project located in Huron County, Michigan and separately, a solar power generation project located near Fresno, California, respectively. Under the purchase agreements, the formation of the tax equity arrangements is subject to conditions precedent, including funding dates that correspond to the projects’ completion. Sempra Renewables expects to receive cash proceeds totaling approximately $270 million to $300 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 through the second quarter of 2018, as phases of the projects are placed in service, related to the formation of the tax equity arrangements. We discuss these sales of noncontrolling interests further in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.
Sempra LNG & Midstream
We expect Sempra LNG & Midstream to require funding for the development and expansion of its portfolio of projects, which may be financed through a combination of operating cash flow, funding from the parent, project financing and partnering in joint ventures.
Sempra LNG & Midstream, through its interest in Cameron LNG JV, is developing a natural gas liquefaction export facility at the Cameron LNG JV terminal. The majority of the current three-train liquefaction project is project-financed, with most or all of the remainder of the capital requirements to be provided by the project partners, including Sempra Energy, through equity contributions under a joint venture agreement. We expect that our remaining equity requirements to complete the project will be met by a combination of our share of cash generated from each liquefaction train as it comes on line and additional cash contributions. Sempra Energy signed guarantees for 50.2 percent of Cameron LNG JV’s obligations under the financing agreements for a maximum amount of $3.9 billion. The project financing and guarantees became effective on OctoberJanuary 1, 2014,2023 and will remain in effect through December 31, 2025, subject to the effective dateCCM. The CPUC has issued a ruling to initiate a second phase of this cost of capital proceeding to evaluate potential modifications to the CCM.
The CCM applies in the interim years between required cost of capital applications and considers changes in the cost of capital based on changes in interest rates using the applicable utility bond index published by Moody’s (the CCM benchmark rate) for each 12-month period ending September 30 (the measurement period). The CCM benchmark rate is the basis of comparison to determine if the CCM is triggered, which occurs if the change in the applicable Moody’s utility bond index relative to the CCM benchmark rate is larger than plus or minus 1.000% at the end of the joint venture formation.measurement period. The guarantees will terminate upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including all three trains achieving commercial operation and meeting certain operational performance tests. We anticipate that the guarantees will be terminated approximately nine months after all three trains achieve commercial operation.
We discuss Cameron LNG JV and the joint venture financing further in Notes 3 and 4 of the Notesindex applicable to Consolidated Financial Statements, in “Risk Factors,” and in “Factors Influencing Future Performance” in the Annual Report. We also discuss Cameron LNG JV in “Factors Influencing Future Performance” below.

The amounts and timing of capital expenditures are generally subject to approvals by various regulatory and other governmental and environmental bodies, including the CPUC and the FERC. In 2017, we expect to make capital expenditures and investments of approximately $4.2 billion, an increase from the $3.4 billion summarized in “Capital Resources and Liquidity” in the Annual Report. The increase is primarily attributable to an additional solar project at Sempra Renewables, acquiring an additional ownership interest


in DEN, which owns a 50-percent interest in the Los Ramones Norte pipeline, at Sempra Mexico and additional capital expenditures at SDG&E. As we discuss above, Sempra Energy entered into a Merger Agreement in August 2017 to acquire EFH for total cash consideration of $9.45 billion, subject to possible adjustment. We expect the transaction to close in the first half of 2018.

Sempra Energy Consolidated
At Sempra Energy, cash provided by financing activities decreased in 2017, primarily due to:
$475 million net increase in short-term debt in 2017 compared to a $1,636 million net increase in 2016;
$531 million higher payments of debt with maturities greater than 90 days, including:

COMMITMENTS
We discuss significant changes to contractual commitments since December 31, 2016 at Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas in Note 11 ofis based on each utility’s credit rating. For the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.
CREDIT RATINGS
The credit ratings of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas remained at investment grade levels during the first nine months of 2017. Our credit ratings may affect the rates at which borrowings bear interest and the commitment fees on available unused credit. We provide additional information about our credit ratings at Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Credit Ratings” in the Annual Report.


On October 5 and 6, 2017, Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor’s, respectively, affirmed Sempra Energy’s long-term issuer default rating following our announcement to acquire 100 percent of EFH with the currently contemplated financing structure. Also on October 5, 2017, Moody’s Investors Service indicatedmeasurement period that it will likely consider placing its credit rating on Sempra Energy’s debt securities on negative outlook if it perceives no significant regulatory opposition to the Merger to acquire EFH as currently structured, which may make it more difficult and/or costly for Sempra Energy to issue debt securities. Such a determination with respect to a negative outlook could occur prior to the completion of the Merger. In addition, Moody’s Investors Service may downgrade Sempra Energy’s credit rating in connection with the Merger, which may have a similar effect.
In addition, unrelated to the Merger, Standard & Poor’s recently revised its debt ratings criteria, “Reflecting Subordination Risk in Corporate Issue Ratings,”ended on September 21, 2017,30, 2023, SDG&E’s CCM benchmark rate was 4.367% based on Moody’s Baa- utility bond index and as a result of this new methodology, has indicated that it could downgrade its rating of Sempra Energy’s senior unsecured debt securities within the next 12 months if Sempra Energy does not complete the Merger under the financing plan currently contemplated or if the aggregate indebtedness of Sempra Energy’s subsidiaries continues to exceed 50 percent of Sempra Energy’s total consolidated debt, which may also make it more difficult or costly for Sempra Energy to issue debt securities. We provide additional discussion regarding the MergerSoCalGas’ CCM benchmark rate was 4.074% based on Moody’s A- utility bond index.

FACTORS INFLUENCING FUTURE PERFORMANCE
We discuss various factors that we have identified that could influence our future performance in “Factors Influencing Future Performance” in the Annual Report. We discuss below significant, new developments to those factors that have occurred in 2017, as well as any new factors that we have identified in 2017. You should read the information below together with “Factors Influencing Future Performance” and “Risk Factors” contained in the Annual Report.
SEMPRA ENERGY
Pending Acquisition of Energy Future Holdings Corp.

On August 21, 2017, Sempra Energy entered into a Merger Agreement to acquire EFH, the indirect owner of an 80.03-percent interest in Oncor, for total cash consideration of $9.45 billion, subject to possible adjustment. Oncor is a regulated electric distribution and transmission business that operates the largest distribution and transmission system in Texas. We expect the transaction to close in the first half of 2018. Upon consummation of the acquisition, we will consolidate EFH and we will account for our ownership in Oncor Holdings and Oncor as an equity method investment. We discuss this Merger in Notes 3 and 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein, above in “Capital Resources and Liquidity” and below in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”
The Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of the U.S Bankruptcy CourtSoCalGas’ average bond index rates for the District of Delaware,period from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023 were more than 1.000% above their respective CCM benchmark rates, which triggered the PUCT, the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation, and the FERC, among others, as well as receipt of a private letter ruling from the IRS and certain tax opinions regarding the transaction. If the required governmental consents, approvals and rulings are not received, or if they are not received on terms that satisfy the conditions in the agreements governing the Merger, the Merger could be abandoned, delayed or restructured. The agreements governing the Merger may require usCCM. Subject to accept conditions from regulators that could materially adversely impact the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of Sempra Energy (which after giving effect to the assumed completion of our proposed acquisition of EFH, we refer to as the “combined company”).
Tax Matters
Vistra completed its spin-off from EFH in 2016. Vistra’s spin-off from EFH was intended to qualify for partially tax-free treatment to EFH and its stockholders under Sections 368(a)(1)(G), 355 and 356 (collectively referred to as the “Intended Tax Treatment”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If it is determined that the spin-off did not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, EFH could incur substantial tax liabilities. Since this would materially reduce and potentially eliminate the value of our investment in EFH if the Merger is completed and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the combined company and on the market value of Sempra Energy common stock and debt securities, Sempra Energy has included, as an express condition to closing, the receipt of a supplemental private letter ruling from the IRS, as well as tax opinions of counsel to Sempra Energy and EFH, that generally provide that the Merger will not affect the tax-free treatment of the Vistra spin-off as stated in the current IRS private letter ruling and tax opinions. If the IRS does not issue a reasonably satisfactory supplemental private letter ruling or Sempra Energy does not receive acceptable tax opinions, then Sempra Energy does not have to consummate the Merger.

Oncor Performance
The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on the ability of Oncor to successfully execute its business strategy, including several objectives that are capital intensive, and respond to challenges in the electric utility industry. If Oncor is not able to achieve these objectives, is not able to achieve these objectives on a timely basis, or otherwise fails to perform in accordance with our expectations, the anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all and the Merger may materially adversely affect the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the combined company and, consequently, the market value of Sempra Energy common stock and debt securities. In addition, if Oncor fails to meet its capital requirements or if its credit ratings at closing by any one of the three major rating agencies are below the ratings as of June 30, 2017, we may be required to make additional investments in Oncor, or if Oncor is unable to access sufficient capital to finance its ongoing needs we may elect to make additional investments in Oncor, which could be substantial and which would reduce the cash available to us for other purposes, could increase our indebtedness and could ultimately materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects after the Merger.
Financing and Dilution
We currently intend to initially finance the Merger Consideration of $9.45 billion, subject to possible adjustment that we do not expect to be material, along with the associated transaction costs, with the proceeds from debt and equity issuances, and could also likely utilize revolving credit facilities, commercial paper and/or cash on hand. We intend to ultimately issue and sell a significant number of new shares of our common stock, and may also issue and sell other equity securities (which may be convertible into new shares of our common stock), to pay a significant portion of the Merger Consideration and associated transaction costs. These contemplated equity issuances will have the effect of diluting the economic and voting interests of our shareholders and, without a commensurate increase in Sempra Energy’s earnings, would dilute our earnings per share. There can be no assurance that Sempra Energy will be able to raise the necessary funds on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Absence of Control
In accordance with the ring-fencing measures, existing governance mechanisms and commitments we made as part of the application to the PUCT for regulatory approval, the CCM trigger would increase the authorized rate of return for SDG&E to 7.67% (including the Merger, we will be subjectcost of debt to certain restrictions following4.34% and return on equity to 10.65%) and increase the Merger. As a result, we will not control Oncor Holdings or Oncor,authorized rate of return for SoCalGas to 7.67% (including the cost of debt to 4.54% and we will have limited abilityreturn on equity to direct the management, policies and operations of Oncor Holdings and Oncor, including the deployment or disposition of their assets, declarations of dividends, strategic planning and other important corporate issues and actions. We will have limited representation on the Oncor Holdings and Oncor boards of directors. The existence of these ring-fencing measures and other limitations may increase our costs of financing. Further, the Oncor directors have considerable autonomy and as described in our commitments have a duty to act in the best interest of Oncor consistent with the approved ring-fence and Delaware law, which may be contrary to our best interests or be in opposition to our preferred strategic direction for Oncor. To the extent that they take actions that are not in our interests, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the combined company may be materially adversely affected.10.50%), effective January 1, 2024.
Key Personnel at Oncor
If, despite efforts to retain certain key personnel at Oncor, any key personnel depart or fail to continue employment as a result of the Merger, the loss of the services of such personnel and their experience and knowledge could adversely affect Oncor’s results of operations, financial condition and prospects and the successful ongoing operation of its business, which could also have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the combined company.
We provide additional discussion regarding the Merger and related risks in Notes 3 and 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein, above in “Capital Resources and Liquidity” and below in Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”

Sunrise Powerlink Project Cost Cap
In August 2015, SDG&E filed a petition with the CPUC requesting that it revise and confirm the project cost cap for the Sunrise Powerlink, a 500-kV electric transmission line between the Imperial Valley and the San Diego region that was energized and placed in service in June 2012. While post-energization construction activities for the project were completed in 2013, certain matters relating&E’s commitment to outstanding claims were not resolved until the first quarter of 2015. The filing requested CPUC approval of the final expenditure report for the project and the proposed revisionsmake annual shareholder contributions to the total project cost cap. As evidenced in the final report, actual expenditures for the project totaled $1.9 billion (in 2012 dollars, on a net present value basis), which exceeds the total project cost cap approved by the CPUC in 2008 by $4.4 million.
In June 2017, the CPUC dismissed SDG&E’s petition as moot since the Sunrise Powerlink transmission project has been fully constructed and found that, although the CPUC may establish a cost cap for electric transmission projects, the recovery of the associated costs is under FERC jurisdiction. The decision also finds that SDG&E complied with the CPUC’s quarterly reporting requirements, resolving the issue of whether the adequacy of such reporting should be further investigated.
Potential Impacts of Community Choice Aggregation and Direct Access
SDG&E provides electric services, including the commodity of electricity, to the majority of its customers (“bundled customers”).  SDG&E procures electricity, typically on a long-term basis, on behalf of these bundled customers. However, SDG&E’s earnings are “decoupled” from electric sales volumes, one aspect of which is that commodity costs for electricity are directly passedWildfire Fund through to bundled customers (see discussion in “Revenues – California Utilities”2028 in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report). Report.
SDG&E’s bundled customers&E is exposed to the risk that the participating California electric IOUs may incur third-party wildfire costs for which they will seek recovery from the Wildfire Fund with respect to wildfires that have occurred since enactment of the option to purchase the commodity of electricity from alternate suppliers under defined programs, including CCA and DA.Wildfire Legislation in July 2019. In such cases, California law (SB 350) prohibits remaining bundled customersa situation, SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record an impairment charge against earnings when available coverage is reduced due to recoverable claims from experiencing any cost increase as a result of electric commodity no longer being consumed by the departing customers. Existing rate mechanisms may not be sufficient to ensureparticipating IOUs. Pacific Gas and Electric Company has indicated that remaining bundled customers do not experience any cost increase as a result of departing customers. SDG&E, PG&E and Edison filed a joint applicationit will seek reimbursement from the Wildfire Fund for losses associated with the CPUCDixie Fire, which burned from July 2021 through October 2021 and was reported to be the largest single wildfire (measured by acres burned) in April 2017California history. If any California electric IOU’s equipment is determined to replace these existing mechanisms and ensure compliance with state law. In June 2017, the CPUC initiatedbe a rulemaking proceeding to address this matter and dismissed the joint application without prejudice, since the issues it raised will be addressed in the rulemaking. We expect a decision on a revised rate mechanism in 2018, with implementation in 2019.

Currently, DA in SDG&E’s service area is limited by state law and is approximately 17 percent of SDG&E’s annual demand, and there are no CCA providers in SDG&E’s service area. However, several local political jurisdictions, including the City of San Diego and a few other, smaller municipalities, are considering the formationcause of a CCA which, if implemented, could result in the departure of more than half of SDG&E’s bundled load. State law requires that customers opting to have a CCA procure their energy must also absorb the cost of energy procurement commitments already made by SDG&E on their behalf. If mechanisms to ensure compliance with state law were not in place at the time of these potentially significant reductions in SDG&E’s served load, remaining bundled customers of SDG&E could potentially experience large increases in rates for commodity costs under commitments made on behalf of the CCA customers. If legislative, regulatory or legal action were taken to prevent the timely recovery of these procurement costs, the unrecovered costsfire, it could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra Energy’s cash flows,Sempra’s financial condition and results of operations.operations up to the carrying value of our Wildfire Fund asset, with additional potential material exposure if SDG&E’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire. In addition, the Wildfire Fund could be completely exhausted due to fires in the other California electric IOUs’ service territories, by fires in SDG&E’s service territory or by a combination thereof. In the event that the Wildfire Fund is materially diminished, exhausted or terminated, SDG&E will lose the protection afforded by the Wildfire Fund, and as a consequence, a fire in SDG&E’s service territory could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
SONGSOff-Balance Sheet Arrangements
SDG&E has a 20-percent ownership interestentered into PPAs and tolling agreements that are variable interests in SONGS, formerly a 2,150-MW nuclear generating facility near San Clemente, California, that isunconsolidated entities. We discuss variable interests in the process of being decommissioned by Edison, the majority owner of SONGS. In Notes 9 and 11Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein, and in Notes 13 and 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report, we discuss regulatory and other matters related to SONGS, including:
a reopened CPUC proceeding that is considering whether a SONGS-related amended settlement agreement approved in 2014 is reasonable and in the public interest, which will result in the reaffirmation of the Amended Settlement Agreement, or a different cost allocation among ratepayers and shareholders associated with the premature shutdown of SONGS Units 2 and 3;
matters concerning the ability to timely withdraw funds from trust accounts for the payment of decommissioning costs; and
the arbitration decision finding MHI liable for breach of contract in connection with the replacement steam generators at the SONGS nuclear power plant, subject to a contractual limitation of liability, and awarding MHI 95 percent of its arbitration costs as MHI was found to be the prevailing party.
Wildfire Claims Cost RecoveryStatements.
In September 2015, SDG&E filed an application with the CPUC requesting rate recovery of an estimated $379 million in costs related to the October 2007 wildfires that have been recorded as a wildfire regulatory asset, as we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
In response to our application seeking recovery, in April 2016, the CPUC issued a ruling establishing the scope and schedule for the proceeding to be managed in two phases. Phase 1 addresses SDG&E’s operational and management prudence surrounding the 2007 wildfires. Phase 2 addresses whether SDG&E’s actions and decision-making in connection with settling legal claims in relation to the wildfires were reasonable. On August 22, 2017, two ALJs in the CPUC proceeding issued a proposed decision denying SDG&E’s request to recover the 2007 wildfire costs submitted in our application.
In consideration of the proposed decision denying recovery of these costs, and the actions taken and not taken by the CPUC subsequent to issuance of the proposed decision (including the actions not taken through the October 26, 2017 CPUC meeting), we have concluded that the wildfire regulatory asset no longer meets the probability threshold for recovery required by U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, SDG&E impaired the wildfire regulatory asset, resulting in a charge of $351 million ($208 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 2017, in Impairment of Wildfire Regulatory Asset on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for Sempra Energy and SDG&E. SDG&E will continue to vigorously pursue recovery of these costs, which were incurred through settling claims brought under inverse condemnation laws.
If the proposed decision is adopted by the CPUC and is not overturned through rehearing or appeal, Phase 2 of the proceeding would be rendered moot and the proceeding would be closed. In such case, SDG&E would apply to the CPUC for rehearing of its decision within 30 days, upon which the CPUC may grant a rehearing, modify its decision, or deny the request and affirm its original decision. Ultimately, SDG&E has the right to file a petition with the Court of Appeal of California seeking to reverse the CPUC’s decision, and we will appeal the decision, if necessary. We expect a CPUC final decision in the fourth quarter of 2017.

SOCALGASSoCalGas
Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
In OctoberInsurance and Accounting and Other Impacts. Since 2015, SoCalGas discovered a leak at one of its injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility (the Leak) located in Los Angeles County, which SoCalGas has operated as a natural gas storage facility since 1972. SoCalGas worked closely with several ofincurred significant costs related to the world’s leading expertsLeak, including costs to stopdefend against and settle civil litigation arising from the Leak. On February 18, 2016, DOGGR confirmed that the well was permanently sealed.
Local Community Mitigation Efforts
PursuantOther than insurance for directors’ and officers’ liability, we have exhausted all of our insurance for this matter. We continue to a stipulation and order by the LA Superior Court, SoCalGas provided temporary relocation supportpursue other sources of insurance coverage for costs related to residents in the nearby community who requested it before the well was permanently sealed. Following the permanent sealing of the well, the DPH conducted testing in certain homes in the Porter Ranch community, and concluded that indoor conditions did not present a long-term health risk and that it was safe for residents to return home. In May 2016, the LA Superior Court ordered SoCalGas to offer to clean residents’ homes at SoCalGas’ expense as a condition to ending the relocation program. SoCalGas completed the residential cleaning program and the relocation program ended in July 2016.
In May 2016, the DPH also issued a directive that SoCalGas additionally professionally clean (in accordance with the proposed protocol prepared by the DPH) the homes of all residents located within the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council boundary, or who participated in the relocation program, or who are located within a five mile radius of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and experienced symptoms from the Leak (the Directive). SoCalGas disputes the Directive, contending that it is invalid and unenforceable, and has filed a petition for writ of mandate to set aside the Directive.
The total costs incurred to remediate and stop the Leak and to mitigate local community impacts are significant and may increase, andthis matter, but we may not be subject to potentially significant damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, costs and other penalties. To the extentsuccessful in obtaining additional insurance recovery for any of these costs arecosts.
At September 30, 2023, $126 million is accrued in Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $3 million is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other on SoCalGas’ and Sempra’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These accruals do not covered by insurance (includinginclude any costsamounts in excess of applicable policy limits),what has been estimated to resolve certain matters that we describe in “Litigation” and “Regulatory Proceeding” nor any amounts that may be necessary to resolve threatened litigation, other potential litigation or if there wereother costs, in each case to the extent it

Litigation
In connection with the Leak, as of October 26, 2017, 344 lawsuits, including over 43,826 plaintiffs, are pending against SoCalGas, some of which have also named Sempra Energy. Derivative and securities claims have also been filed on behalf of Sempra Energy and/or SoCalGas or their shareholders against certain officers and directors of Sempra Energy and/or SoCalGas. We provide further detail on these cases, as well as on complaints filed by the California Attorney General, acting in an independent capacity and on behalf of the people of the State of California and the CARB, together with the Los Angeles City Attorney; the SCAQMD; and the County of Los Angeles, on behalf of itself and the people of the State of California; and on a misdemeanor criminal complaint filed by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office; in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. Additional litigation may be filed against us in the future related to the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility incident or our responses thereto.prospects.
The costs of defending against these civil and criminal lawsuits, cooperating with these investigations, and any damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, costs and other penalties, if awarded or imposed, as well as the costs of mitigating the actual natural gas released, could be significant and to the extent not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Governmental Investigations
Various governmental agencies have investigated or are investigating this incident.
In January 2016, the Governor of the State of California issued an Order (the Governor’s Order) proclaiming a state of emergency to exist in Los Angeles County due to the Leak. The Governor’s Order imposes various orders with respect to: stopping the Leak; protecting public health and safety; ensuring accountability; and strengthening oversight. We provide further detail regarding the Governor’s Order and the CARB’s Aliso Canyon Methane Leak Climate Impacts Mitigation Program, issued pursuant to the Governor’s Order, in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.
In January 2016, SoCalGas entered into a Stipulated Order for Abatement with the SCAQMD and agreed to take various actions in connection with injecting and withdrawing natural gas at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, sealing the well, monitoring, reporting, safety and funding a health impact study, among other things. In February 2017, SoCalGas entered into a settlement agreement with the SCAQMD, and in March 2017, the Hearing Board terminated the Abatement Order. We provide further detail regarding the SCAQMD stipulated Abatement Order in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.


In January 2016, DOGGR and the CPUC selected Blade to conduct an independent analysis under their direction and supervision to be funded by SoCalGas to investigate the technical root cause of the Leak. The timing of the root cause analysis is under the control of Blade, DOGGR and the CPUC.
In February 2017, the CPUC opened a proceeding pursuant to SB 380 to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region, as we discuss below in “Regulatory Proceedings” and “SB 380.”
Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability
Reliability.Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important for service reliability during peak demand periods, including peak electric generation needs in the summer and consumer heating needs in the winter. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility with a storage capacity of 86 Bcf (which represents 63 percent of SoCalGas’ natural gas storage inventory capacity), is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important elementcomponent of SoCalGas’ delivery system. SoCalGas did not inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility after October 25, 2015, pursuant to orders by DOGGR and the Governor, and in accordance with SB 380. Limited withdrawals of natural gas from the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility have been made in 2017 to augment natural gas supplies during critical demand periods. In April and June of 2017, SoCalGas advised the CAISO, CEC, CPUC and PHMSA of its concerns that the inability to inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility poses a risk to energy reliability in Southern California.
On July 19, 2017, DOGGR issued its Order to: Test and Take Temporary Actions Upon Resuming Injection: Aliso Canyon Gas Storage Facility, lifting the prohibition on injection at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, subject to its requirements that SoCalGas conduct and report results of a leak survey and measurement of total site methane emissions before resuming injection operations, as well as other requirements after injection resumes. The CPUC additionally issued a directive to SoCalGas to maintain a range of working gas in the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility at a target of 23.6 Bcf (approximately 28 percent of its maximum capacity), and at all times above 14.8 Bcf. DOGGR’s findings require SoCalGas to continue to operate the facility under restrictions that limit the rate at which it is able to withdraw natural gas from the field. In July 2017, the County of Los Angeles sought a temporary restraining order to block DOGGR’s order; the Superior Court ruled that it lacks jurisdiction to rule on the County’s application. The County then sought review of the Superior Court’s order denying the County’s application for a temporary restraining order and an immediate stay of injections, which the Court of Appeal denied. We provide further detail regarding DOGGR’s order and the County of Los Angeles’ petition in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. Also on July 19, 2017, the CEC released a letter to the CPUC indicating that its staff is prepared to work with the CPUC and other agencies on a plan to phase out the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility within ten years. The CEC and other stakeholders will be providing input into the SB 380 proceeding underway at the CPUC that addresses the future of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. Having completed the steps outlined by state agencies to safely begin injections at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, as of July 31, 2017, SoCalGas resumed limited injections.
If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were determined to be out of service for any meaningful period of time or permanently closed, or if future cash flows were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, it could result in an impairment of the facility and significantly higher than expected operating costs and/or additional capital expenditures, and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized. At September 30, 2017, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility has a net book value of $609 million, including $244 million of construction work in progress for the project to construct a new compression station. Any significant impairment of this asset could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s results of operations for the period in which it is recorded. Higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas may not be recoverable in customer rates, and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Regulatory Proceedings
In February 2017, the CPUC opened a proceeding pursuant to SB 380 OII to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region. The proceeding will be conducted in two phases, with Phase 1 undertaking a comprehensive effort to developregion, including considering alternative means for meeting or avoiding the appropriate analyses and scenarios to evaluatedemand for the impact of reducing or eliminating the use offacility’s services if it were eliminated.
At September 30, 2023, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and Phase 2 evaluating the impactshad a net book value of reducing or eliminating the use of$993 million. If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility using the scenarios and models adopted in Phase 1. In accordance with the Phase 1 schedule, public participation hearings began in April 2017, and workshops and additional public participation hearings are expected to occur later in 2017.
Section 455.5 of the California Public Utilities Code, among other things, directs regulated utilities to notify the CPUC if all or any portion of a major facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months. Although SoCalGas does not believe the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility or any portion of that facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months, SoCalGas provided notification out of an abundance of caution to demonstrate its commitment to regulatory compliance and transparency, and because the process for obtaining authorization to resume injection operations at the facility required longer to complete than initially contemplated. In response, and as required by section 455.5, the CPUC issued an OII to address whether the Aliso Canyon natural gas


storage facility or any portion of that facility has been out of service for nine consecutive months pursuant to section 455.5, and if it is determined to have been out of service, whether the CPUC should adjust SoCalGas’ rates to reflect the period the facility is deemed to have been out of service. Under section 455.5 hearings on the investigation arewere to be held,permanently closed or if necessary, in conjunction with SoCalGas’ 2019 GRC proceeding; however, the CPUC issued a procedural schedule that includesfuture cash flows from its operation were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, we may record an evidentiary hearing on January 9, 2018, if needed. If the CPUC determines that all or any portionimpairment of the facility, has been outwhich could be material, or we could incur materially higher than expected operating costs and/or be required to make material additional capital expenditures (any or all of servicewhich may not be recoverable in rates), and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized.
Sempra Texas Utilities
Oncor relies on external financing as a significant source of liquidity for nine consecutive months,its capital requirements. In the amountevent that Oncor fails to meet its capital requirements, access sufficient capital, or raise capital on favorable terms to finance its ongoing needs, we may elect to make additional capital contributions to Oncor (as our commitments to the PUCT prohibit us from making loans to Oncor), which could be substantial and reduce the cash available to us for other purposes, increase our indebtedness and ultimately materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects. Oncor’s ability to make distributions may be limited by factors such as its credit ratings, regulatory capital requirements, increases in its capital plan, debt-to-equity ratio approved by the PUCT and other restrictions and considerations. In addition, Oncor will not make distributions if a majority of Oncor’s independent directors or any refundminority member director determines it is in the best interests of Oncor to ratepayersretain such amounts to meet expected future requirements.
Capital Structure and Return on Equity
In April 2023, the inabilityPUCT issued a final order in Oncor’s comprehensive base rate review. The final order sets Oncor’s authorized ROE at 9.7%, a decrease from its previously authorized ROE of 9.8%, and maintains Oncor’s authorized regulatory capital structure at 57.5% debt to earn a return42.5% equity. The new rates became effective on those assets could have aMay 1, 2023. In June 2023, the PUCT issued an order on rehearing in response to the motions for rehearing filed by Oncor and certain intervenor parties in the proceeding. The order on rehearing made certain technical and typographical corrections to the final order but otherwise affirmed the material adverseprovisions of the final order and did not require modification of the rates that went into effect on SoCalGas’May 1, 2023. In September 2023, Oncor filed an appeal in Travis County District Court seeking judicial review of certain rate base disallowances and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and resultsrelated expense effects of operations.
In March 2016, the CPUC ordered SoCalGas to establish a memorandum account to prospectively track its authorized revenue requirement and all revenues that it receives for its normal, business-as-usual costs to own and operate the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and, in September 2016, approved SoCalGas’ request to begin tracking these revenues as of March 17, 2016. The CPUC will determine later whether, and to what extent, the authorized revenues trackedthose disallowances in the memorandum account may be refunded to ratepayers.PUCT’s order on rehearing.
Insurance
Excluding directors and officers liability insurance, we have four kinds of insurance policies that together provide between $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion in insurance coverage, depending on the nature of the claims. These policies are subject to various policy limits, exclusions and conditions. We have been communicating with our insurance carriers and intend to pursue the full extent of our insurance coverage. Through September 30, 2017, we have received $294 million of insurance proceeds for a portion of control-of-well expenses and a portion of temporary relocation costs. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining insurance coverage for costs related to the Leak under the applicable policies, and to the extent we are not successful in obtaining coverage or these costs exceed the amount of our coverage, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement
Our recorded estimate as of September 30, 2017 of $841 million of certain costsinvestment in connection with the Leak may rise significantly as more information becomes available, and any costs not includedOncor Holdings is a variable interest in our estimate could be material. To the extent not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), or if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, such costs could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Increased Regulation
PHMSA, DOGGR, SCAQMD, EPA and CARB each commenced separate rulemaking proceedings to adopt further regulations covering natural gas storage facilities and injection wells. As we discuss in “Factors Influencing Future Performance” in the Annual Report, DOGGR issued new draft regulations for all storage fields in California, and in 2016, the California Legislature enacted four separate bills providing for additional regulation of natural gas storage facilities. Additional hearings in the California Legislature, as well as with various other federal and state regulatory agencies, have been or may be scheduled, additional legislation has been proposed in the California Legislature, and additional laws, orders, rules and regulations may be adopted. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has formed a task force to review and potentially implement new, more stringent land use (zoning) requirements and associated regulations and enforcement protocols for oil and gas activities, including natural gas storage field operations, which could materially affect new or modified uses of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and other natural gas storage fields located in Los Angeles County.

LNG and Enhancing Safety Act of 2016” or the “PIPES Act of 2016” was enacted. Among other things, the PIPES Act of 2016:
requires PHMSA to issue, within two years of passage, “minimum safety standards for underground natural gas storage facilities;”
imposes a “user fee” on underground storage facilities as needed to implement the safety standards;
grants PHMSA authority to issue emergency orders and impose emergency restrictions, prohibitions and safety measures on owners and operators of gas or hazardous liquid pipeline facilities without prior notice or an opportunity for hearing, if the Secretary of Energy determines that an unsafe condition or practice, or a combination of unsafe conditions and practices, constitutes or is causing an imminent hazard; and
directs the Secretary of Energy to establish an Interagency Task Force comprised of representatives from various federal agencies and representatives of state and local governments.

Net-Zero Solutions

In December 2016, PHMSA published an interim final rule pursuant to the PIPES Act of 2016 that revises the federal pipeline safety regulations relating to underground natural gas storage facilities. The interim final rule incorporates consensus safety measures for the construction, maintenance, risk-management, and integrity-management procedures for natural gas storage. SoCalGas began the process of implementing such safety measures prior to formal adoption by PHMSA andCameron LNG Phase 2 Project. Cameron LNG JV is developing a proposed expansion project that would add one liquefaction train with an expected maximum production capacity of approximately 6.75 Mtpa and would increase the associated documents and procedures required to demonstrate compliance with the standards.
SB 380
In May 2016, SB 380 became law and requires, among other things:
that natural gas injections into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility be prohibited until a comprehensive review of the safety of the gas storage wells at the facility was completed, as we discuss below;
that all gas storage wells returning to service at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility inject or produce gas only through the interior metal tubing and not through the annulus between the tubing and the well casing, which allows SoCalGas wells to operate with two complete barriers to mitigate the potential for an uncontrolled release of natural gas; and
a CPUC proceeding (which was opened in February 2017) to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region, and to consult with various governmental agencies and other entities in making its determination. The order establishing the scope of the proceeding expressly excludes issues with respect to air quality, public health, causation, culpability or cost responsibility regarding the Leak.
On July 19, 2017, DOGGR issued an order lifting the prohibitionproduction capacity of the injection of natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and the CPUC’s Executive Director issued his concurrence with that determination, subject to certain conditions. On July 21, 2017, the County of Los Angeles filed a petition for writ of mandate against DOGGR and its State Oil and Gas Supervisor and the CPUC and its Executive Director, as to which SoCalGas is the real party in interest. The petition alleges that DOGGR has failed to properly conduct the comprehensive safety review required by SB 380 and failed to perform an Environmental Impact Review pursuant to CEQA. The petition seeks a writ of mandate requiring DOGGR and the State Oil and Gas Supervisor to comply with SB 380 and CEQA, as well as declaratory and injunctive relief against any authorization to inject natural gas.
SoCalGas completed the steps outlined by state agencies to safely begin injectionsexisting three trains at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and, as of July 31, 2017, resumed limited injections. We provide further detail regarding DOGGR’s order and the petition filed by the County of Los Angeles above under the heading “Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability” and in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.
SB 888
In September 2016, SB 888 became law, which requires that a penalty assessed against a gas corporation by the CPUC with regard to a natural gas storage facility leak must at least equal the amount necessary to fully offset the impact on the climate from the greenhouse gases emitted by the leak, as determined by the CARB. The CPUC also must consider the extent to which the gas corporation has mitigated or is in the process of mitigating the impact on the climate from greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the leak.
Proposed Legislation – SB 57
Proposed SB 57 seeks to extend the moratorium on natural gas injections at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility until the root cause analysis of the Leak that started in October 2015 has been completed. It would also require the CPUC to “act in a manner that will maximize transparency” in the course of completing its analysis regarding the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. In addition, the bill would enable the Governor to authorize reinjection, production and withdrawal at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility as necessary to respond to or avoid emergencies. The bill did not pass a vote in the California Senate but may be considered again.
Additional Safety Enhancements
In February 2017, SoCalGas notified the CPUC that it is accelerating its well integrity assessments on the natural gas storage wells at its La Goleta, Honor Rancho and Playa del Rey natural gas storage fields consistent with the testing prescribed by SB 380 for the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, proposed new DOGGR regulations, and SoCalGas’ Storage Risk Management Plan. In addition, SoCalGas indicated its plan to reconfigure its operating natural gas storage wells such that natural gas will be injected or produced only through the interior metal tubing and not through the annulus between the tubing and the well casing to maintain a double barrier and additional layer of safety, which is consistent with the direction of federal and state regulations. SoCalGas anticipates that this work will reduce the injection and withdrawal capacity of each of these other storage fields. Depending on the volume of natural gas in storage in each field at the time natural gas is injected or withdrawn, the reduction could be significant and could impact natural gas reliability and electric generation. In March 2017, SoCalGas revised its plan, as directed by the CPUC, for converting all wells to tubing-only operation to maintain a prescribed withdrawal capacity.


Higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas as a result of new laws, orders, rules and regulations arising out of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility incident or our responses thereto could be significant and may not be recoverable in customer rates, and SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected by any such new laws, orders, rules and regulations.
SoCalGas Billing Practices
In May 2017, the CPUC issued an OII to determine whether SoCalGas violated any provisions of the California Public Utilities Code, General Orders, CPUC decisions, or other requirements pertaining to billing practices from 2014 through 2016. In particular, the CPUC is examining the timeliness of monthly bills, extending the billing period for customers, and issuing estimated bills. Under the OII, the CPUC will also examine SoCalGas’ gas tariff rules and consider whether to impose penalties or other remedies. We expect a decision on the OII in the first half of 2018.

In March 2017, the CPUC approved the settlement agreements reached with the ORA and TURN regarding the incentive awards for program years 2006 through 2008, wherein the parties agreed that SDG&E and SoCalGas would offset up to a total of approximately $4 million each against future incentive awards over the next three years beginning in 2017. If the total incentive awards ultimately authorized for 2017 through 2019 are less than approximately $4 million for either utility, the applicable utility is released from paying any remaining unapplied amount.
Natural Gas Procurement
In June 2017, SoCalGas filed an application for a GCIM award of $4 million for natural gas procured for its core customers during the 12-month period ended March 31, 2017. A CPUC decision is expected in the first half of 2018.
In June 2016, SoCalGas filed an application for a GCIM award of $5 million for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2016. The CPUC approved the award in January 2017.
Natural Gas Pipeline Operations Safety Assessments
In 2011, the California Utilities filed implementation plans with the CPUC to implement the CPUC’s significant and urgent safety directive to test or replace natural gas transmission pipelines that have not been pressure tested and to reduce the time for valves to stop the flow of gas if a break in a pipeline occurs (referred to as PSEP). In 2014, the CPUC issued a final decision approving the utilities’ model for implementing PSEP, and established the criteria to determine the amounts related to PSEP that may be recovered


from ratepayers and the processes for recovery of such amounts, including providing that such costs are subject to a reasonableness review. In 2016, the CPUC issued a final decision authorizing SoCalGas and SDG&E to recover, subject to refund pending reasonableness review, 50 percent of the revenue requirements associated with completed Phase 1 projects. The decision also incorporates a forward looking schedule to (1) file two reasonableness review applications for Phase 1 projects completed through 2017, (2) file one forecast application for Phase 2 project costs to be incurred in 2017 and 2018, and (3) include all other PSEP costs in future GRCs.
In September 2016, SoCalGas and SDG&E filed a joint application with the CPUC for its second PSEP reasonableness review and rate recovery of costs of certain pipeline safety projects completed by June 30, 2015 and recorded in their authorized regulatory accounts. The total costs submitted for review are $195 million ($180 million for SoCalGas and $15 million for SDG&E). SoCalGas and SDG&E expect a decision from the CPUC in 2018. This proceeding has been challenged by consumer advocacy groups. However, we believe these costs were prudent, were incurred in accordance with the program and should be substantially approved for recovery.
In March 2017, SoCalGas and SDG&E filed an application with the CPUC requesting approval of the forecasted revenue requirement necessary to recover the costs associated with twelve Phase 1B and Phase 2A pipeline safety projects. The California Utilities expect to incur total costs for the twelve projects of approximately $255 million ($198 million in capital expenditures and $57 million in O&M) to be effective in rates on January 1, 2019. SoCalGas and SDG&E expect a CPUC decision in the second half of 2018.
As shown in the table below, SoCalGas and SDG&E have made significant pipeline safety investments under this program, and SoCalGas expects to continue making significant investments as approved through various regulatory proceedings. SDG&E’s PSEP program is expected to be substantially complete in 2017, with the exception of the Pipeline Safety & Reliability Project that is currently under regulatory review.

Regulatory Compliance and Safety Enforcement
In October 2016, the CPUC’s CPED issued a citation to SoCalGas for alleged violations of certain environmental mitigation measures related to the Aliso Canyon Turbine Replacement Project, and imposed a fine in the amount of $699,500. SoCalGas subsequently appealed the citation and the resulting fine. In March 2017, SoCalGas and the CPED filed a joint settlement agreement with the CPUC to resolve all matters related to the October 2016 citation. As a part of the settlement agreement, SoCalGas agreed to pay $250,000 to the state’s general fund and to retain an independent firm to conduct compliance training seminars for the benefit of SoCalGas and CPUC personnel at a cost not to exceed $25,000. The parties agreed that the settlement agreement did not constitute an admission by SoCalGas or denial by CPED with respect to any issue of fact or law, or of any violation or liability by any party. In May 2017, the CPUC issued a decision approving the settlement as filed.

Energía Costa Azul LNG Terminal
In May 2015, Sempra LNG & Midstream, IEnova, and a subsidiary of PEMEX entered into a project development agreement for the joint development of the proposed natural gas liquefaction project at IEnova’s existing regasification terminal at Energía Costa Azul. The agreement specifies how the parties will share costs, and establishes a framework for the parties to work jointly on permitting, design, engineering and commercial activities associated with exploring the development of the liquefaction project. We are sharing costs with PEMEX on the development efforts pursuant to the agreement, and have applied for the primary governmental authorizations for the liquefaction project. Energía Costa Azul has profitable long-term regasification contracts for 100 percent of the regasification facility’s capacity, making the decision to pursue a new liquefaction facility dependent in part on whether the investment in a new liquefaction facility would, over the long term, be more beneficial financially than continuing to supply regasification services under our existing contracts.
In December 2016, Energía Costa Azul filed its Social Impact Study with the Mexican Secretary of Energy and its Environmental Impact Study and Environmental Risk Study with the Mexican National Agency for Safety, Energy and the Environment. In February 2017, Energía Costa Azul filed three regulatory permits for liquefaction, regasification and electric self-generation with the CRE. As of September 30, 2017, Energía Costa Azul has received CRE approval for electric self-generation and expects to receive CRE approval for liquefaction and regasification in 2018.
Development of this project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including the receipt of a number of permits and regulatory approvals; finding suitable partners and customers; obtaining financing; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including joint venture agreements, LNG sales agreements, gas supply agreements and construction contracts; reaching a final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

SEMPRA RENEWABLES
Sempra Renewables’ performance is primarily a function of the solar and wind power generated by its assets. Power generation from these assets depends on solar and wind resource levels, weather conditions, and Sempra Renewables’ ability to maintain equipment performance.
Sempra Renewables’ future performance and the demand for renewable energy is impacted by various market factors, most notably state mandated requirements for utilities to deliver a portion of total energy load from renewable energy sources. Additionally, the phase out or extension of U.S. federal income tax incentives, primarily investment tax credits and production tax credits, and grant programs could significantly impact future renewable energy resource availability and investment decisions. Imposition by the U.S. government of ad valorem tariffs, import quotas or other import restrictions related to solar panels could materially adversely affect Sempra Renewables’ business, investment decisions and the demand for renewable energy in the U.S.

§

20-year liquefaction and regasification tolling capacity agreements for full nameplate capacity.
Cameron LNG JV Three-Train Liquefaction Project
Large-scale construction projects like the design, developmentpreviously received major permits and construction of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction facility involve numerous risksFTA and uncertainties, including among others,non-FTA approvals associated with the potential for unforeseen engineering challenges, substantial construction delays and increased costs. Cameron LNG JV has a turnkey EPC contract, and if the contractor becomes unwilling or unable to perform according to the terms and timetable of the EPC contract, the project could face substantial construction delays and potentially significantly increased costs. If the contractor’s delays or failures are serious enough to cause the contractor to default under the EPC contract, such default could result in Cameron LNG JV’s engagement of a substitute contractor. In October 2016, the EPC contractor indicatedexpansion that the Cameron LNG project would not achieve its originally scheduled dates for completion and has subsequently provided project schedules reflecting further delays to the Cameron LNG project. The delays will result in the anticipated earnings and associated cash flows from the Cameron LNG JV project coming in later than originally anticipated. Based on a number of factors, we believe it is reasonable to expect that all three LNG trains will be producing LNG in 2019. These factors, among others, include the project schedules received from the EPC contractor, Cameron LNG JV’s own review of the project schedules, the assumptions underlying such schedules, the EPC contractor’s progress to date, the remaining work left to be performed, and the inherent risks in constructing and testing facilities such as Cameron LNG. In late August 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall along the Texas and Louisiana coastlines. The damage at the site was minimal. The EPC contractor provided Cameron LNG with an initial assessment of Hurricane Harvey’s impacts to the project’s schedule and costs that was immaterial but noted that the impacts, as well as the impacts caused by other hurricanes that affected the Gulf Coast during the months of August and September, could result in additional claims for schedule delays or costs. The EPC contractor has yet to provide sufficient information to Cameron LNG to enable us to make a full determination of such potential additional impacts. During the course of construction of large projects like Cameron LNG, contractors often assert that they are owed additional compensation, schedule extensions, or both. Cameron LNG JV has received information from the EPC contractor claiming they are owed additional amounts beyond the contract value. The contractor has informed Cameron LNG JV that they will supplement this information at a future date. We have not yet been provided


with sufficient details that would enable an evaluation of the validity or amount of such purported claims. For a discussion of the Cameron LNG JV and of these risks and other risks relating to the development of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction project that could adversely affect our future performance, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Our Business – Sempra LNG & Midstream” and “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Proposed Additional Cameron Liquefaction Expansion
Cameron LNG JV has received the major permits necessary to expand the current configuration of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction project from the current three liquefaction trains under construction. The proposed expansion project includesincluded up to two additional liquefaction trains capable of increasing LNG production capacity by approximately 9 Mtpa to 10 Mtpa, and up to two additional full containment LNG storage tanks (onetanks. The non-FTA approval for the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project includes, among other things, a May 2026 deadline to commence commercial exports, for which we expect to request an extension. In March 2023, the FERC approved Cameron LNG JV’s request to amend the permits to allow the use of electric drives, instead of gas turbine drives, which was permittedwould reduce overall emissions. The amendment also allows the design to be changed from a two-train gas turbine expansion to a one-train electric drive expansion along with other design enhancements that, together, are expected to result in a more cost-effective and efficient facility, while also reducing overall GHG emissions.
Sempra Infrastructure and the original three-train project). Advancementother Cameron LNG JV members, namely affiliates of TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Japan LNG Investment, LLC, a company jointly owned by Mitsubishi Corporation and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, have entered into a non-binding HOA for the potential development of the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. The non-binding HOA provides a commercial framework for the proposed project, includesincluding the contemplated allocation to SI Partners of 50.2% of the fourth train production capacity and 25% of the debottlenecking capacity from the project under tolling agreements. The non-binding HOA contemplates the remaining capacity to be allocated equally to the existing Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility customers. Sempra Infrastructure plans to sell the LNG corresponding to its allocated capacity from the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project under long-term SPAs prior to making a final investment decision. The ultimate participation in and offtake by Sempra Infrastructure, TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Japan LNG Investment, LLC remain subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the non-binding HOA does not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project.
DOE FTA approval received in July 2015
Non-FTA approval received in July 2016
FERC permit received in May 2016
UnderSempra Infrastructure, the other Cameron LNG JV members, and Cameron LNG JV have entered into a Phase 2 Project Development Agreement under which Sempra Infrastructure, subject to certain conditions and ongoing approvals by the Cameron LNG JV financing agreements, expansionboard, will manage and lead the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project development work until Cameron LNG JV makes a final investment decision.
In April 2022, Cameron LNG JV, upon the unanimous approval of the Cameron LNG JV facilitiesboard, awarded two FEED contracts, one to Bechtel and the other to a joint venture between JGC America Inc. and Zachry Industrial Inc.
In connection with the execution of the Phase 2 Project Development Agreement and the award of the FEED contracts, the Cameron LNG JV board unanimously approved an expansion development budget to fund, subject to the terms of the Phase 2 Project Development Agreement, development work to prepare for a potential final investment decision.
In July 2023, Cameron LNG JV informed Bechtel that it has been selected to perform additional value engineering work on the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project, which we expect will continue through the end of 2023. The parties are negotiating the terms and conditions of a definitive EPC contract for the project. The current arrangement with Bechtel does not commit any party to enter into a definitive EPC contract or to otherwise participate in the project.
Cameron LNG JV has entered into a non-binding MOU with Entergy Louisiana, LLC, a subsidiary of Entergy Corporation, to negotiate the terms and conditions for a new electric service agreement intended to reduce Cameron LNG JV’s scope 2 emissions from the electricity it purchases from Entergy Louisiana, LLC. The non-binding MOU sets forth a framework for Entergy Louisiana, LLC and Cameron LNG JV to finalize and sign a minimum 20-year agreement for the procurement of new renewable generation resources in Louisiana, subject to the approval of the renewable tariff by the Louisiana Public Service Commission. The ultimate arrangement between Cameron LNG JV and Entergy Louisiana, LLC remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the non-binding MOU does not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the proposed electric services agreement.
Sempra Infrastructure has entered into a non-binding HOA for the negotiation and potential finalization of a definitive 20-year SPA with ORLEN for 2 Mtpa of LNG offtake from the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. The ultimate participation in and offtake from the proposed project remains subject to negotiation and finalization of a definitive agreement, among other factors, and the non-binding HOA does not commit any party to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed project. Sempra Infrastructure also entered into a non-binding HOA with Williams for the negotiation of potential LNG offtake from, and feed gas supply to, the PA LNG Phase 2 project and Cameron LNG Phase 2 project that are under development, as well as a
102

Table of Contents
potential strategic JV related to the existing Cameron Interstate Pipeline and the proposed Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. The term of this non-binding HOA ended in March 2023.
Expansion of the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility beyond the first three trains is subject to certain restrictions and conditions under the JV project financing agreements, including among others, timingscope restrictions on expansion of the project unless appropriate prior consent is obtained from the existing project lenders. Under the Cameron LNG JV equity agreements, the expansion of the project requires the unanimous consent of all the partners, including with respect to the equity investment obligation of each partner. One ofWorking under the partners indicated toframework established in the Phase 2 Project Development Agreement, Sempra EnergyInfrastructure and the other Cameron LNG JV members are investing additional time upfront to reduce construction risk and project costs and better optimize the construction schedule. We expect this process to continue through the end of 2023 and expect to be in a position to make a final investment decision in 2024, subject to executing an EPC contract, securing project financing, and extending the commercial export deadline under the project’s non-FTA approval.
Development of the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; reaching unanimous agreement with our partners to proceed; obtaining, modifying and maintaining permits and regulatory approvals; sufficiently reducing construction risks and project costs; securing certain consents under the existing financing agreements and obtaining sufficient new financing; negotiating, completing and maintaining suitable commercial agreements, including definitive EPC, tolling and governance agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
ECA LNG Phase 1 Project. SI Partners owns an 83.4% interest in ECA LNG Phase 1, and an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE owns the remaining 16.6% interest. ECA LNG Phase 1 is constructing a one-train natural gas liquefaction facility at the site of Sempra Infrastructure’s existing ECA Regas Facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 Mtpa and an initial offtake capacity of 2.5 Mtpa. We do not expect the construction or operation of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project to disrupt operations at the ECA Regas Facility. We expect the ECA LNG Phase 1 project to commence commercial operations in the summer of 2025.
We received authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. ECA LNG Phase 1 has definitive 20-year SPAs with an affiliate of TotalEnergies SE for approximately 1.7 Mtpa of LNG and with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. for approximately 0.8 Mtpa of LNG.
In February 2020, we entered into an EPC contract with Technip Energies for the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. Since reaching a positive final investment decision with respect to the project in November 2020, Technip Energies has been working to construct the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. We estimate the total price of the EPC contract to be approximately $1.5 billion, with capital expenditures approximating $2 billion including capitalized interest and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates.
ECA LNG Phase 1 has a five-year loan agreement with a syndicate of seven external lenders that matures in December 2025 for an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.3 billion, of which $782 million was outstanding at September 30, 2023. Proceeds from the loan are being used to finance the cost of construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project. We discuss the details of this loan in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Construction of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including maintaining permits and regulatory approvals; construction delays; negotiating, completing and maintaining suitable commercial agreements, including definitive gas supply and transportation agreements; the impact of recent and proposed changes to the law in Mexico; as we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, an unfavorable decision on certain property disputes and permit challenges that could materially adversely affect construction of this project; and other factors associated with the project and its construction. An unfavorable outcome with respect to any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects, including the impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
ECA LNG Phase 2 Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing a second, large-scale natural gas liquefaction project at the site of its existing ECA Regas Facility. We expect the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project to be comprised of two trains and one LNG storage tank and produce approximately 12 Mtpa of export capacity. We expect that construction of the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project would conflict with the current operations at the ECA Regas Facility, which currently has long-term regasification contracts for 100% of the regasification facility’s capacity through 2028. This makes the decisions on whether, when and how to pursue the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project dependent in part on whether the investment in a large-scale liquefaction facility
103

Table of Contents
would, over the long term, be more beneficial financially than continuing to supply regasification services under our existing contracts.
We received authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project.
We have non-binding MOUs and/or HOAs with Mitsui & Co., Ltd., TotalEnergies SE, and ConocoPhillips that provide a framework for their potential offtake of LNG from the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project and potential acquisition of an equity interest in ECA LNG Phase 2. The ultimate participation in and offtake by these parties remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the non-binding MOUs and/or HOAs do not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project.
Development of the proposed ECA LNG Phase 2 project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; obtaining and maintaining permits and regulatory approvals; obtaining financing; negotiating, completing and maintaining suitable commercial agreements, including definitive EPC, equity acquisition, governance, LNG sales, gas supply and transportation agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; the impact of recent and proposed changes to the law in Mexico; the property disputes and permit challenges that we reference in the ECA LNG Phase 1 project discussion above; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
PA LNG Phase 1 Project. Since making a positive final investment decision in March 2023, Sempra Infrastructure is constructing a natural gas liquefaction project on a greenfield site that it owns in the vicinity of Port Arthur, Texas, located along the Sabine-Neches waterway. The PA LNG Phase 1 project will consist of two liquefaction trains, two LNG storage tanks, a marine berth and associated loading facilities and related infrastructure necessary to provide liquefaction services with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13 Mtpa and an initial offtake capacity of approximately 10.5 Mtpa. We expect the first and second trains of the PA LNG Phase 1 project to commence commercial operations in 2027 and 2028, respectively.
In April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the PA LNG Phase 1 project facilities, along with certain natural gas pipelines, including the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector and Texas Connector, that could be used to supply feed gas to the liquefaction facility when the project is completed. Sempra Infrastructure received authorizations from the DOE in August 2015 and May 2019 that collectively permit the LNG to be produced from the PA LNG Phase 1 project to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries. In June 2023, Port Arthur LNG submitted an amendment to its FERC order requesting authorization to increase its work force and implement a 24-hours-per-day construction schedule in order to further enhance construction efficiency while reducing temporal impacts to the community and environment in the vicinity of the project. If approved, the amendment would also provide the EPC contractor with more optionality to meet or exceed the project’s construction schedule, subject to the timing of FERC approval of the amendment. The FERC has published a schedule that anticipates the issuance of an environmental assessment for the project in December 2023.
Sempra Infrastructure has definitive SPAs for LNG offtake from the PA LNG Phase 1 project with:
an affiliate of ConocoPhillips for a 20-year term for 5 Mtpa of LNG, as well as a natural gas supply management agreement whereby an affiliate of ConocoPhillips will manage the feed gas supply requirements for the PA LNG Phase 1 project.
RWE Supply & Trading GmbH, a subsidiary of RWE AG, for a 15-year term for 2.25 Mtpa of LNG.
INEOS for a 20-year term for approximately 1.4 Mtpa of LNG.
ORLEN for a 20-year term for approximately 1 Mtpa of LNG.
ENGIE S.A. for a 15-year term for approximately 0.875 Mtpa of LNG.
In February 2020, we entered into an EPC contract, as amended and restated in October 2022, with Bechtel for the PA LNG Phase 1 project. In March 2023, we issued a final notice to proceed under the EPC contract, which has an estimated price of approximately $10.7 billion after change orders. We estimate the capital expenditures for the PA LNG Phase 1 project will be approximately $13 billion including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates.
As we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in March 2023, an indirect subsidiary of SI Partners completed the sale of an indirect 30% NCI in the PA LNG Phase 1 project to an affiliate of ConocoPhillips for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $254 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. We used the proceeds from this sale for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. In connection with this sale, both SI Partners and ConocoPhillips provided guarantees relating to their respective affiliate’s commitment to make its pro rata equity share of capital contributions to fund 110% of the development budget of the PA LNG Phase 1 project, in an aggregate amount of up to $9.0 billion. SI Partners’ guarantee covers 70% of this amount plus enforcement costs of its guarantee.

As we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in September 2023, an indirect subsidiary of SI Partners completed the sale of an indirect 42% NCI in the PA LNG Phase 1 project to KKR Denali for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $984 million, including its pro rata equity share of development costs incurred prior to the closing that exceeded $439 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. We intend to use the proceeds from this sale for capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.
Upon closing the sale of NCI to KKR Denali, Sempra holds an indirect interest in the PA LNG Phase 1 project of 19.6%.
As we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in March 2023, Port Arthur LNG entered into a seven-year term loan facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.8 billion and an initial working capital facility agreement for up to $200 million. The facilities mature on March 20, 2030. Proceeds from the loans will be used to finance the cost of construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. At September 30, 2023, $243 million of borrowings were outstanding under the term loan facility agreement.
Construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including maintaining and modifying permits and regulatory approvals; construction delays; negotiating, completing and maintaining suitable commercial agreements, including definitive gas supply and transportation agreements; and other factors associated with the project and its construction. An unfavorable outcome with respect to any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects, including the impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
PA LNG Phase 2 Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing a second phase of the natural gas liquefaction project that we expect will be a similar size to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. We are progressing the development of the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project, while continuing to evaluate overall opportunities to develop the entirety of the Port Arthur site as well as potential design changes that could reduce overall emissions, including a facility design utilizing renewable power sourcing and other technological solutions.
In September 2023, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project, including the potential addition of up to two liquefaction trains. In February 2020, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the DOE to permit LNG produced from the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries.
Sempra Infrastructure has entered into a non-binding HOA for the negotiation and potential finalization of a definitive SPA with INEOS for approximately 0.2 Mtpa of LNG offtake from the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project. The ultimate participation in and offtake from the proposed project remains subject to negotiation and finalization of a definitive agreement, among other factors, and the non-binding HOA does not intendcommit any party to invest additional capitalenter into a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed project.
Development of the proposed PA LNG Phase 2 project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; identifying suitable project and equity partners; obtaining and maintaining permits and regulatory approvals; obtaining financing; negotiating, completing and maintaining suitable commercial agreements, including definitive EPC, equity acquisition, governance, LNG sales, gas supply and transportation agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Vista Pacifico LNG Liquefaction Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing the Vista Pacifico LNG project, a potential natural gas liquefaction, storage, and mid-scale export facility proposed to be located in the vicinity of Topolobampo in Sinaloa, Mexico, under a non-binding MOU with the CFE that contemplates the negotiation of definitive agreements that would cover development of the Vista Pacifico LNG project. The proposed LNG export terminal would be supplied with U.S. natural gas and would use excess natural gas and pipeline capacity on existing pipelines in Mexico with the intent of helping to meet growing demand for natural gas and LNG in the Mexican and Pacific markets.
Sempra Infrastructure received authorization from the DOE to permit the export of U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and for LNG produced from the proposed Vista Pacifico LNG facility to be re-exported to all current and future FTA countries and non-FTA countries.
In March 2022, TotalEnergies SE and Sempra Infrastructure entered into a non-binding MOU that contemplates TotalEnergies SE potentially contracting approximately one-third of the long-term export production of the proposed Vista Pacifico LNG project and potentially participating as a minority partner in the project.
The ultimate participation in and offtake from the proposed project remain subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and the non-binding MOUs do not commit any party to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the project.

Hackberry Carbon Sequestration Project. Sempra Infrastructure is developing the potential Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project near Hackberry, Louisiana. This proposed project under development is designed to permanently sequester carbon dioxide from the Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility and the proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project. In the third quarter of 2021, Sempra Infrastructure filed an application with the EPA for a Class VI carbon injection well to advance this project.
In May 2022, Sempra Infrastructure, TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation signed a Participation Agreement for the development of the proposed Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project. In May 2023, the Participation Agreement was amended and restated in connection with ongoing progress of the work program and budget for the proposed project. The Participation Agreement contemplates that the combined Cameron LNG Phase 1 facility and proposed Cameron LNG Phase 2 project would potentially serve as the anchor source for the capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide by the proposed project. It also provides the basis for the parties to acquire an equity interest by entering into a JV with Sempra Infrastructure for the Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project. In addition to the amended and restated Participation Agreement, in May 2023, Sempra Infrastructure and Cameron LNG JV entered into a non-binding HOA, which sets forth a framework for further development of the Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project.
Development of the proposed Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including securing binding customer commitments; obtaining required consents from the Cameron LNG JV members; identifying suitable project and equity partners; obtaining and maintaining permits and regulatory approvals; obtaining financing; negotiating, completing and maintaining suitable commercial agreements, including definitive EPC, equity acquisition and governance agreements; reaching a positive final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. Our investment in Cameron LNG JV with respectis a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2021, Sempra provided a promissory note, which constitutes a guarantee, for the expansion. As a result, discussions among the partners are taking place, and we are considering a varietybenefit of options to attempt to move this project forward. These activities have contributed to delays in developing firm pricing information and securing customer commitments, and there can be no assurance that these issues will be resolved in a timely manner, which could materially and adversely impact the near-term marketing of this project and ability to secure customer commitments. In light of these developments, we are unable to predict when we and/or Cameron LNG JV might be ablewith a maximum exposure to move forward on this project.
loss of $165 million. The expansionguarantee will terminate upon full repayment of Cameron LNG JV’s debt, scheduled to occur in 2039, or replenishment of the Cameron LNGamount withdrawn by Sempra Infrastructure from the SDSRA. We discuss this guarantee in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In July 2020, Sempra entered into a Support Agreement, which contains a guarantee and represents a variable interest, for the benefit of CFIN with a maximum exposure to loss of $979 million. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of the guaranteed debt by 2039, including repayment following an event in which the guaranteed debt is put to Sempra. We discuss this guarantee in Notes 1, 5 and 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Energy Networks
Sonora Pipeline. Sempra Infrastructure’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two segments, the Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment and the Guaymas-El Oro segment. Each segment has its own service agreement with the CFE.
A portion of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora natural gas pipeline crosses into territory owned by the Yaqui tribe who, with the exception of some members living in the Bácum community, granted its consent and a right-of-way easement agreement for the pipeline in its territory. Following the start of commercial operations of the Guaymas-El Oro segment, Sempra Infrastructure reported damage to the pipeline in the Yaqui territory that has made that section inoperable since August 2017. Legal challenges raised by representatives of the Bácum community, which we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, have prevented Sempra Infrastructure from making repairs to put the pipeline back in service. Such legal challenges were definitively resolved in March 2023 based on the agreement by the CFE and Sempra Infrastructure to re-route the portion of the pipeline that is in the Yaqui territory.
Discussions with the CFE regarding the future of the pipeline are ongoing in accordance with a non-binding MOU announced in January 2022 that, among other matters, addresses efforts to proceed with re-routing a portion of the pipeline, which will require either an extension of the service start date, as discussed below, or a separate definitive arrangement between Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE concerning the restarting of service on the pipeline. In July 2022, Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement that establishes a framework for a JV facilities beyondbetween the parties to work on restarting service on

Table of Contents
the pipeline, including the potential re-routing of a portion of the pipeline. This agreement is subject to a number of conditions to be satisfied before it becomes effective, including regulatory and corporate authorizations.
In September 2019, Sempra Infrastructure and the CFE reached an agreement to modify the tariff structure and extend the term of the contract by 10 years. Under the revised agreement, the CFE will resume making payments only when the damaged section of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline is back in service. If the parties do not agree on a definitive arrangement to re-route a portion of the pipeline or the parties do not agree on a new service start date by November 30, 2023, Sempra Infrastructure retains the right to terminate the contract and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profits.
At September 30, 2023, Sempra Infrastructure had $411 million in PP&E, net, related to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline, which could be subject to impairment if Sempra Infrastructure is unable to re-route a portion of the pipeline (which has not been agreed to by the parties, but is subject to negotiation pursuant to a non-binding MOU and a Shareholders’ Agreement, as described above) and resume operations or if Sempra Infrastructure terminates the contract and is unable to obtain recovery, which in each case could have a material adverse effect on Sempra’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Refined Products Terminals. In May 2022, Sempra Infrastructure substantially completed construction of a terminal for the receipt, storage, and delivery of refined products in Topolobampo, at which time commissioning activities commenced. We expect the Topolobampo terminal will commence commercial operations in the first three trainshalf of 2024, subject to receipt of the CRE’s approval of the regulated rates.
Sempra Infrastructure is also developing terminals for the receipt, storage, and delivery of refined products in the vicinity of Manzanillo and Ensenada.
Development and construction of refined products terminals is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, including amending the Cameron LNG JV agreement among the partners, obtaining customer commitments, completing the required commercial agreements, securing and maintaining all necessary permits, approvals and consents, obtaining financing, reaching a final investment decision among the Cameron LNG JV partners, and other factors associated with the potential investment. See “Risksee “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Other LNG Liquefaction Development
Design, regulatory and commercial activities are ongoing for potential LNG liquefaction developments at our Port Arthur Texas sitePipeline Louisiana Connector. Sempra Infrastructure has begun the procurement and at Sempra Mexico’s Energía Costa Azul facility. For these development projects, we have met with potential customers and determined there is an interest in long-term contracts for LNG supplies beginning in the 2022 to 2025 time frame.
Port Arthur
In November 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream submitted a requestengineering activities related to the FERC seeking authorization to site, construct and operate the proposed Port Arthur LNG natural gas liquefaction and export facility in Port Arthur, Texas.
The proposed project is designed to include
two natural gas liquefaction trains with production capability of approximately 13.5 Mtpa, or 698 Bcf per year;
three LNG storage tanks;
natural gas liquids and refrigerant storage;
feed gas pre-treatment facilities; and
two berths and associated marine and loading facilities.
In June 2015, Sempra LNG & Midstream filed permit applications with the DOE for authorization to export the LNG produced from the proposed project to all current and future non-FTA countries.
In August 2015, Sempra LNG & Midstream received authorization from the DOE to export the LNG produced from the proposed project to all current and future FTA countries.
In February 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream and Woodside Petroleum Ltd. entered into a project development agreement for the joint development of the proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project. The agreement specifies how the parties will share costs, and establishes a framework for the parties to work jointly on permitting, design, engineering, commercial and marketing activities associated with developing the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project.
In June 2017, Sempra LNG & Midstream, Woodside Petroleum Ltd. and Korea Gas Corporation signed a memorandum of understanding that provides a framework for cooperation and joint discussion by the parties regarding key aspects of the potential


developmentconstruction of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector, a 72-mile pipeline connecting the PA LNG Phase 1 project including engineeringto Gillis, Louisiana. In April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and construction work, O&M activities, feed gas sourcing, offtakeoperation of LNG and the potential for Korea Gas Corporation to purchase LNG from, and become an equity participant in, the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector, which will be used to supply feed gas to the PA LNG Phase 1 project. The memorandum of understanding does not commit any party to buy or sell LNG or otherwise participate in the Port Arthur liquefaction LNG project.
Also, in November 2016,In July 2023, Sempra LNG & MidstreamInfrastructure filed a permitlimited amendment application with the FERC for the Texas Connector Pipeline project that will provide natural gas transportation service for the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project. In February 2017, Sempra LNG & Midstream initiated the FERC pre-filing reviewto implement construction process for the Louisiana Connector Pipeline project, an additional pipeline project that would also provide natural gas transportation service for the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project. The FERC application was filed in October 2017.
Developmentenhancements and minor modifications to several discrete sections of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. These modifications are intended to decrease environmental impacts, accommodate landowner routing requests and enhance construction procedures. The FERC has published a schedule that anticipates the issuance of an environmental assessment for the project in February 2024. We expect the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector to be ready for service ahead of the PA LNG liquefactionPhase 1 project’s gas requirements. We estimate the capital expenditures for the project will be approximately $1 billion, including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ substantially from our estimates.
Development and construction of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, including obtaining customer commitments, completing the required commercial agreements, such as joint venture agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply agreements; completing construction contracts; securing all necessary permits and approvals; obtaining financing and incentives; reaching a final investment decision; and other factors associated with the potential investment. See “Risksee “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
EnergíLouisiana (LA) Storage. Sempra Infrastructure has begun the procurement and engineering activities related to the construction of LA Storage, a Costa Azul
We further discuss Sempra LNG & Midstream’s participation in potential LNG liquefaction development at Sempra Mexico’s Energía Costa Azul facility above in “Sempra Mexico Energía Costa Azul LNG Terminal.”
Natural Gas Storage Assets
The future performance of our12.5 Bcf salt dome natural gas storage assets could be impacted by changes infacility to support the U.S. natural gas market, which could leadPA LNG Phase 1 project. The construction includes an 11-mile pipeline that will connect to sustained diminished natural gas storage values.
The recorded valuethe Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector. In September 2022, the FERC approved the development of our long-lived natural gas storage assets at September 30, 2017 is $1.5 billion. Historically, the value of natural gas storage services has positively correlated with the difference between the seasonal prices of natural gas, among other factors. In general, over the past several years, seasonal differences in natural gas prices have declined, which have contributed to lower prices for storage services. As our legacy (higher rate) sales contracts mature at our Bay Gas and Mississippi Hub facilities, replacement sales contract rates have been and could continueproject. We expect LA Storage to be lower than has historically beenready for service in time to support the case. Lower sales revenuesneeds of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. We estimate the capital expenditures for the project will be approximately $300 million, including capitalized interest at the project level and project contingency. The actual amount of these capital expenditures may not be offset by cost reductions, which could lead to further depressed asset values. Future investment in Bay Gas, Mississippi Hubdiffer substantially from our estimates.
Development and construction of LA Storage will be dependent on market demandis subject to a number of risks and estimates of long-term storage values. Our LA Storage development project construction permit expired in June 2017 and future development will require approval of a new construction permit by the FERC. The LA Storage project also includes an existing 23.3-mile pipeline header system, the LA Storage pipeline, that is not currently contracted.
We perform recovery testing of our recorded asset values when market conditions indicate that such values may not be recoverable. In the event such values are not recoverable, we would consider the fair value of these assets relative to their recorded value. To the extent the recorded (carrying) value is in excess of the fair value, we would record a noncash impairment charge. A significant impairment charge related to our natural gas storage assets would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which it is recorded.

Having reached a positive final investment decision for the PA LNG Phase 1 project and Oncor having received a final order from the PUCT in its comprehensive base rate review, we have updated our expected capital expenditures and investments from what we disclosed in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Capital Resources and Liquidity” in the Annual Report. From 2023 through 2027, we expect to make aggregate capital expenditures and investments of approximately $38.6 billion, subject to the factors described below, which could cause these estimates to vary substantially. Capital expenditure amounts include capitalized interest and AFUDC related to debt.
When (i) including Sempra’s proportionate ownership interest in expected capital expenditures at unconsolidated equity method investees while excluding Sempra’s expected capital contributions to those unconsolidated equity method investees and (ii)
109

Table of Contents
excluding NCI’s proportionate ownership interest in expected capital expenditures at Sempra and at unconsolidated equity method investees, we expect capital expenditures from 2023 through 2027 to total $40 billion. This $40 billion expectation reflects an increase compared to the aggregate capital expenditures, calculated in the same manner, that we forecasted in 2017 for the period from 2017 through 2021, which was $15 billion. We further expect a 10% to 20% utility-focused increase above this $40 billion amount when we update our capital expenditures plan for 2024 through 2028.
Our utilities represent approximately 90% of this $40 billion capital expenditures plan. We expect this significant capital investment in transmission and distribution improvements at our regulated public utilities to increase our utilities’ rate base, which has grown approximately 3.2 times from 2017 to 2022, based on a rate base of $8.5 billion and $5.5 billion at SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively, in 2017 compared to $13.8 billion, $10.5 billion, $20.7 billion, and $256 million at SDG&E, SoCalGas, Oncor, and Sharyland Utilities, L.L.C., respectively, in 2022. For SDG&E and SoCalGas, rate base is the value of assets on which SDG&E and SoCalGas are permitted to earn a specified rate of return in accordance with rules set by regulatory agencies, including the CPUC and, for SDG&E, the FERC, which is calculated using a 13-month weighted average in accordance with CPUC methodology as adopted in rate-setting proceedings. For Oncor and Sharyland Utilities, L.L.C., rate base represents the total estimated invested capital, as adjusted in accordance with PUCT rules, at the end of the previous calendar year as reported in the Earnings Monitoring Report filed with the PUCT on an annual basis.
In 2023, we expect to make capital expenditures and investments of approximately $9.4 billion, which is an increase from the $5.7 billion projected in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Capital Resources and Liquidity” in the Annual Report. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $3.4 billion at Sempra Infrastructure primarily related to the PA LNG Phase 1 project, an increase of $200 million at SDG&E related to energy storage projects and an increase of $100 million at Sempra Texas Utilities. We expect the majority of our capital expenditures and investments in 2023 will relate to construction of the PA LNG Phase 1 project, ECA LNG Phase 1 project and natural gas pipelines at Sempra Infrastructure, and transmission and distribution improvements at our regulated public utilities.
Our level of capital expenditures and investments in the next few years may vary substantially and will depend on, among other things, the cost and availability of financing, regulatory approvals, changes in tax law and business opportunities providing desirable rates of return. See “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report for a discussion of these and other factors that could affect future levels of our capital expenditures and investments.

Interest rate risk sensitivity analysis measures interest rate risk by calculating the estimated changes in earnings attributable to common shares (but disregarding capitalized interest and impacts on equity earnings from debt at our equity method investees) that would result from a hypothetical change in market interest rates. Earnings attributable to common shares are affected by changes in interest rates on short-term debt and variable-rate long-term debt. If weighted-average interest rates on short-term debt outstanding at September 30, 2023 increased or decreased by 10%, the change in earnings attributable to common shares over the 12-month period ending September 30, 2024 would be approximately $7 million. If interest rates changedincreased or decreased by ten percent10% on all of Sempra Energy’s effective variable-rate long-term debt at September 30, 2017,2023, after considering the effects of interest rate swaps, the change in earnings attributable to common shares over the next 12-month period ending September 30, 20182024 would be negligible. These hypothetical changes in earnings are based on our long-term debt position after the effect of interest rate swaps.approximately $4 million.
FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE RISK AND INFLATION RATE RISKEXPOSURE
We discuss our foreign currency exchange rate risk and inflation exposure in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations“Part I – Item 2. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” hereinin this report and in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in the Annual Report. At September 30, 2017,2023, there were no significant changes to our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk since December 31, 2016.2022.
In 2022 and 2023 to date, SDG&E and SoCalGas have experienced inflationary pressures from increases in various costs, including the cost of natural gas, electric fuel and purchased power, labor, materials and supplies, as well as availability of labor and materials. Sempra Texas Utilities has experienced increased costs of labor and materials and does not have specific regulatory mechanisms that allow for recovery of higher costs due to inflation; rather, recovery is limited to rate updates through capital trackers and base rate reviews, which may result in partial non-recovery due to the regulatory lag. If such costs continue to be subject to significant inflationary pressures and we are not able to fully recover such higher costs in rates or there is a delay in recovery, these increased costs may have a significant effect on Sempra’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
Sempra Infrastructure has experienced inflationary pressures from increases in various costs, including the cost of labor, materials and supplies. Sempra Infrastructure generally secures long-term contracts that are U.S. dollar-denominated or referenced and are periodically adjusted for market factors, including inflation, and Sempra Infrastructure generally enters into lump-sum contracts for its large construction projects in which much of the risk during construction is absorbed or hedged by the EPC contractor. If additional costs become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully recover such higher costs through contractual adjustments for inflation, which may have a significant effect on Sempra’s results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Sempra, Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas have designed and maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in their respective reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to the management of each company, including each respective principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating these controls and procedures, the management of each company recognizes that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives; therefore, the management of each company applies judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of other possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officers and principal financial officers of Sempra, Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas, each companysuch company’s management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017,2023, the end of the period covered by this report. As discussed below, we excluded Ventika from our evaluation of Sempra Energy’s disclosure controls and procedures, to the extent subsumed by Ventika’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on these evaluations, the principal executive officers and principal financial officers of Sempra, Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas concluded that their respective company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.level as of such date.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Other than the changes which may be associated with the 2016 acquisition described below (which did not impact SDG&E or SoCalGas), thereThere have been no changes in the companies’Sempra’s, SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the companies’any such company’s internal control over financial reporting.
As we discuss in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, we acquired Ventika in December 2016. The carrying value of Ventika’s net assets was $285 million or 1.8 percent of Sempra Energy’s net assets at September 30, 2017. Ventika’s losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $18 million or 2.4 percent of total Sempra Energy earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We are in the process of integrating Ventika. Our management is analyzing, evaluating and, where necessary, will implement changes in, Ventika’s controls and procedures. Since the acquisition date, we have not had sufficient time to assess the internal controls of Ventika. Therefore, we excluded Ventika from our evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures above, to the extent subsumed by Ventika’s internal control over financial reporting. We intend to include Ventika in the overall assessment of, and report on, internal control over financial reporting as soon as practicable, but in no event later than one year from the acquisition date.

Table of its proposed acquisition of EFH, as the “combined company.”Contents
Risks Related to the Proposed Acquisition of Energy Future Holdings Corp.
Sempra Energy’s proposed acquisition of EFH, including EFH’s 80.03 percent indirect interest in Oncor, is subject to various conditions, including the receipt of bankruptcy court and governmental and regulatory approvals, which approvals may impose conditions, and is subject to other risks and uncertainties that could cause the Merger to be abandoned, delayed or restructured and/or materially adversely affect Sempra Energy.
Sempra Energy, EFH and Oncor have not obtained the governmental and regulatory approvals required to complete the Merger. These include consents, approvals and rulings from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, the PUCT, the FERC, the IRS and the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation, among others. These and other regulatory authorities and courts may not provide the consents, approvals and rulings that are conditions to the Merger or that are otherwise necessary for Oncor’s operations after the Merger, could seek to block or challenge the Merger, or may impose certain requirements or obligations as conditions to their approval. The agreements governing the Merger may require Sempra Energy to accept conditions from these regulators that could materially adversely impact the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the combined company. If the required governmental consents, approvals and rulings are not received, or if they are not received on terms that satisfy the conditions set forth in the agreements governing the Merger, then neither Sempra Energy, EFH nor Oncor will be obligated to complete the Merger.
Completion of the Merger on the terms specified in the Merger Agreement and as contemplated by the plan of reorganization filed by EFH and certain of its subsidiaries in their bankruptcy cases pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware are key elements of such plan of reorganization. The plan of reorganization must be approved by various classes of creditors of EFH and certain of its subsidiaries (and must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware) for the Merger to be consummated.
Sempra Energy and EFH have determined that the Merger is not subject to the premerger notification requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the HSR Act). Even though Sempra Energy and EFH have determined that the Merger is not subject to the HSR Act, governmental authorities could seek to block or challenge the Merger or compel divestiture of a portion of the combined company if they deem it necessary or desirable in the public interest to do so. In addition, in some jurisdictions, a private party could initiate an action under the antitrust laws challenging or seeking to enjoin the Merger, before or after it is completed. As a result, actions taken by governmental authorities or private parties, both before or after completion of the


Merger, may have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of Sempra Energy or may result in conditions or requirements that lead to abandonment, delay or restructuring of the Merger.
Sempra Energy can provide no assurance that the various closing conditions will be satisfied and that the required governmental, creditor and other necessary approvals will be obtained, or that any required conditions to such approvals will not materially adversely affect the results of operations, financial condition or prospects of the combined company following the Merger. In addition, it is possible that any conditions to such approvals will result in the abandonment, delay or restructuring of the Merger. The occurrence of any of these events individually or in combination could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s results of operations, financial condition and prospects, whether or not the Merger is completed.
Completion of the Merger is also subject to a number of other risks and uncertainties that, among other things, may alter the proposed structure and financing for the Merger, result in changes in or impose other limitations or conditions on the business of the combined company following the Merger or have other effects that may have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the combined company if the Merger is consummated or may lead to abandonment, delay or restructuring of the Merger.
Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact Sempra Energy’s results of operations, financial condition and prospects and the market value of Sempra Energy common stock and debt securities.
As described above, the consummation of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions and required approvals, as well as other risks and uncertainties. Sempra Energy can provide no assurance that the various closing conditions will be satisfied, that the necessary approvals will be obtained, or that other events or circumstances leading to abandonment, delay or restructuring of the Merger will not occur. In addition, it is possible that other parties may offer to acquire EFH or Oncor on terms that are more favorable to EFH than the terms of the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, EFH or its subsidiary EFIH may terminate the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances if either of their respective boards of directors determines in its sole discretion, after consultation with their independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to terminate the Merger Agreement is inconsistent with their fiduciary duties, which may allow them to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to accept an offer from another party. If the Merger is not completed, Sempra Energy will not realize the potential benefits of the Merger, but will still be required to pay the substantial costs incurred in connection with pursuing the Merger. If the Merger is not completed, these and other factors could materially adversely affect Sempra Energy’s results of operations, financial condition and prospects and the market value of Sempra Energy’s common stock and debt securities.
EFH could incur substantial tax liabilities related to its 2016 spin-off of Vistra from EFH, which would reduce and potentially eliminate the value of Sempra Energy’s investment in EFH.
As part of its ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, in 2016 EFH distributed all of the outstanding shares of common stock of its subsidiary Vistra Energy Corp. (formerly TCEH Corp. and referred to herein as Vistra) to certain creditors of TCEH LLC (the spinoff), and Vistra became an independent, publicly traded company. Vistra’s spin-off from EFH was intended to qualify for partially tax-free treatment to EFH and its stockholders under Sections 368(a)(1)(G), 355 and 356 (collectively referred to as the Intended Tax Treatment) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In connection with and as a condition to the spin-off, EFH received a private letter ruling from the IRS regarding certain issues relating to the Intended Tax Treatment of the spin-off, as well as tax opinions from counsel to EFH and Vistra regarding certain aspects of the spin-off not covered by the private letter ruling.
IRS private letter rulings are generally binding on the IRS, but the continuing validity of that ruling, as well as the tax opinions received, are subject to the accuracy of factual representations and assumptions, as well as the performance by EFH and Vistra of certain undertakings, made to the IRS in connection with obtaining the ruling and counsel in connection with their opinions. If any of the factual representations or assumptions in the IRS private letter ruling or tax opinions (which will not impact the IRS position on the transactions) were untrue or incomplete, any such undertaking is not complied with, or the facts upon which the IRS private letter ruling or tax opinions were based are different from the actual facts relating to the spin-off, the tax opinions and/or IRS private letter ruling may not be valid and as a result, could be successfully challenged by the IRS. If it is determined that the spin-off did not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, EFH could incur substantial tax liabilities, which would materially reduce and potentially eliminate the value of Sempra Energy’s investment in EFH if the Merger is completed and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the combined company and on the market value of Sempra Energy’s common stock and debt securities.
Due to the risks posed by the spin-off not qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment, Sempra Energy has required, as an express condition to closing of the Merger that, EFH must receive a supplemental private letter ruling from the IRS as well as tax opinions of counsel to Sempra Energy and EFH that generally provide that the Merger will not affect the conclusions reached in, respectively, the IRS private letter ruling and tax opinions issued with respect to the spin-off described above. Similar to the IRS private letter ruling and opinions issued with respect to the spin-off, if the supplemental private letter ruling and opinions are issued with respect to the Merger, they will be based on factual representations and assumptions, as well as certain undertakings, made by Sempra Energy and EFH. If such representations and assumptions are untrue or incomplete, any such undertakings are not complied with, or the facts


upon which the IRS supplemental private letter ruling or tax opinions (which will not impact the IRS position on the transactions) are based are different from the actual facts relating to the Merger, the tax opinions and/or supplemental private letter ruling may not be valid and as a result, could be successfully challenged by the IRS. If it is determined that the Merger causes the spin-off not to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, EFH could incur substantial tax liabilities, which would materially reduce and potentially eliminate the value of Sempra Energy’s investment in EFH if the Merger is completed and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the combined company and on the market value of Sempra Energy’s common stock and debt securities. Should the IRS invalidate the private letter ruling and/or the supplemental private letter ruling, EFH has administrative appeal rights including the right to challenge any adverse IRS position in court.
Failure by Oncor to successfully execute its business strategy and objectives may materially adversely affect the future results of the combined company and, consequently, the market value of Sempra Energy’s common stock and debt securities.
The success of the Merger will depend, in part, on the ability of Oncor to successfully execute its business strategy, including delivering electricity in a safe and reliable manner, minimizing service interruptions and investing in its transmission and distribution infrastructure to maintain its system, serve its growing customer base with a modernized grid, and support energy production. These objectives are capital intensive. See below under “–Oncor’s operations are capital intensive and it could have liquidity needs that may require Sempra Energy to make additional investments in Oncor.” If Oncor is not able to achieve these objectives, is not able to achieve these objectives on a timely basis, or otherwise fails to perform in accordance with Sempra Energy’s expectations, the anticipated benefits of the Merger may not be realized fully or at all, and the Merger may materially adversely affect the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the combined company and, consequently, the market value of Sempra Energy’s common stock and debt securities.
Sempra Energy will continue to incur significant costs in connection with the Merger, and the combined company could continue to incur substantial expenses as a result of the Merger.
Sempra Energy will continue to incur significant costs in connection with the Merger, whether or not the Merger is completed, including fees paid to legal, financial, accounting and other advisors. Moreover, if the Merger is completed, the combined company will incur substantial expenses in connection with the Merger, including fees paid to legal, financial, accounting and other advisors. Many of the expenses that will be incurred, by their nature, are difficult to estimate accurately. These expenses may adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of Sempra Energy prior to completion of the Merger and of the combined company following the completion of the Merger.
Sempra Energy plans to issue common stock and may issue other equity securities to fund a significant portion of the Merger consideration and may issue common stock or other equity securities after the Merger to reduce its indebtedness, which may dilute the economic and voting interests of current Sempra Energy shareholders and may adversely affect the market value of Sempra Energy’s common stock.
Under the Merger Agreement, Sempra Energy is required to pay total consideration for the acquisition of EFH of $9.45 billion, subject to possible adjustment (the Merger Consideration). The Merger Consideration is payable in cash. Sempra Energy intends to ultimately issue and sell a significant number of new shares of its common stock, and may also issue and sell other equity securities (which may include equity securities that are convertible into a substantial number of new shares of its common stock), in order to pay a significant portion of the Merger Consideration and associated transaction costs. Some of these equity issuances will likely occur following the Merger to repay outstanding indebtedness, including indebtedness Sempra Energy expects to incur in connection with the Merger. See below under “–Sempra Energy expects to incur significant additional indebtedness in connection with the Merger. As a result, it may be more difficult for Sempra Energy to pay or refinance its debts or take other actions, and Sempra Energy may need to divert cash to fund debt service payments.” Although the issuance of any common stock and other equity securities is subject to market conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond Sempra Energy’s control, and Sempra Energy may in fact issue fewer shares of common stock or other equity securities than anticipated, the issuance of a substantial number of additional shares of Sempra Energy common stock (including shares issued upon conversion of other equity securities) will have the effect, and the issuance of other equity securities may have the effect, of diluting the economic and voting interests of Sempra Energy’s shareholders. In addition, the issuance of additional shares of common stock (including shares issued upon conversion of other equity securities) without a commensurate increase in Sempra Energy’s consolidated earnings would dilute, and the issuance of other equity securities could dilute, Sempra Energy’s earnings per common share. Any of the foregoing may have a material adverse effect on the market value of Sempra Energy’s common stock.
Sempra Energy may be unable to obtain the external financing necessary to pay the consideration and expenses relating to the Merger.
Sempra Energy currently intends to initially finance the Merger Consideration of $9.45 billion, subject to possible adjustment, along with the associated transaction costs, with the proceeds from debt and equity issuances, and could also likely utilize revolving credit facilities, commercial paper and/or cash on hand. Sempra Energy currently intends to ultimately fund approximately 65 percent of the Merger Consideration from the proceeds of sales of Sempra Energy common stock and, possibly, other equity securities and


approximately 35 percent from the proceeds of sales of Sempra Energy debt securities, although, as described above, some of the equity financing may be obtained after completion of the Merger and used to repay indebtedness incurred to finance the Merger and associated transaction costs.
Sempra Energy’s ability to raise the necessary funds through the sale of its equity securities and debt securities is subject to market conditions and other risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that Sempra Energy will be able to raise the necessary funds on terms it considers acceptable, or at all. Moreover, Sempra Energy’s intended financing for the Merger Consideration may negatively affect its credit ratings prior to or following the completion of the Merger (Moody’s Investors Service has indicated that it will likely consider placing its credit rating on Sempra Energy’s debt securities on negative outlook if it perceives no significant opposition to the Merger as currently structured), which may make it more difficult and/or costly for Sempra Energy to issue debt securities. In addition, Moody’s Investors Service may downgrade Sempra Energy’s credit rating in connection with the Merger, which may have a similar effect. Moreover, although Standard & Poor’s recently affirmed its ratings of Sempra Energy’s debt securities based on Sempra Energy’s expected financing plan for the Merger, Standard & Poor’s recently revised its debt ratings criteria, “Reflecting Subordination Risk in Corporate Issue Ratings,” on September 21, 2017, and as a result of this new methodology, has indicated that it could downgrade its rating of Sempra Energy’s senior unsecured debt securities within the next 12 months if Sempra Energy does not complete the Merger under the financing plan currently contemplated or if the aggregate indebtedness of Sempra Energy’s subsidiaries continues to exceed 50 percent of Sempra Energy’s total consolidated debt, which may also make it more difficult or costly for Sempra Energy to issue debt securities.
Sempra Energy may borrow up to $4.0 billion under the 364-day credit facility to be provided pursuant to financing commitments from a syndicate of banks to fund a portion of the consideration for the Merger and the transaction costs related to the Merger, subject to certain conditions, but the $4.0 billion commitment is reduced by the amount of funds received through Sempra Energy’s sale of equity securities and debt securities, subject in each case to certain exceptions, and increases in our borrowing capacity under our existing revolving credit facilities. The total amount of funds available under this committed facility is insufficient to cover the full Merger Consideration and related transaction costs and is subject to reduction as described above and Sempra Energy can provide no assurance that it will be able to raise the necessary funds through the sale of its equity securities or debt securities or from other sources.
If Sempra Energy is required to obtain more debt financing than anticipated to finance the Merger Consideration and associated transaction costs, whether through the issuance of debt securities or borrowings under the committed financing or otherwise, the required regulatory approvals to complete the Merger may be more difficult to obtain and the combined company’s credit ratings and ability to service its debt could be materially adversely affected.
Sempra Energy expects to incur significant additional indebtedness in connection with the Merger. As a result, it may be more difficult for Sempra Energy to pay or refinance its debts or take other actions, and Sempra Energy may need to divert cash to fund debt service payments.
As discussed in the previous risk factor, Sempra Energy expects to incur significant additional indebtedness to finance the Merger Consideration and related transaction costs. Moreover, although Sempra Energy currently plans to fund a significant portion of the Merger Consideration through sales of its common stock and, possibly, other equity securities, to the extent it is unable to do so the amount of indebtedness it will incur to finance the Merger and associated transaction costs will likely increase, perhaps substantially. The increase in Sempra Energy’s debt service obligations resulting from this additional indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the combined company.
Sempra Energy’s increased indebtedness could:
make it more difficult and/or costly for Sempra Energy to pay or refinance its debts as they become due, particularly during adverse economic and industry conditions, because a decrease in revenues or increase in costs could cause cash flow from operations to be insufficient to make scheduled debt service payments;

require that additional materially adverse terms, conditions or covenants be placed on Sempra Energy under its debt instruments.
Based on the current and expected results of operations and financial condition of Sempra Energy and its subsidiaries and the currently anticipated financing structure for the Merger, Sempra Energy believes that its cash flow from operations, together with the proceeds from borrowings, issuances of equity and debt securities in the capital markets, distributions from its equity method investments, project financing and equity sales (including tax equity and partnering in joint ventures) will generate sufficient cash on a consolidated basis to make all of the principal and interest payments when such payments are due under Sempra Energy’s and its current subsidiaries’ existing credit facilities, indentures and other instruments governing their outstanding indebtedness and under the indebtedness anticipated to be incurred to fund the Merger Consideration. However, Sempra Energy’s expectation is subject to numerous estimates, assumptions and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that Sempra Energy will be able to repay or refinance such borrowings and obligations when due. Oncor and its subsidiaries will not guarantee any indebtedness of Sempra Energy or any of its other subsidiaries, nor will any of them have any obligation to provide funds, whether in the form of dividends, loans or otherwise, to enable Sempra Energy and its other subsidiaries to make required debt service payments, particularly in light of the ring-fencing arrangements described below under “–Certain “ring-fencing” measures and other existing governance mechanisms will limit Sempra Energy’s ability to influence the management and policies of Oncor.” As a result, the Merger will substantially increase Sempra Energy’s debt service obligations without any assurance that Sempra Energy will receive any cash from Oncor or any of its subsidiaries to assist Sempra Energy in servicing its indebtedness or other cash needs.
Sempra Energy is committed to maintaining its credit ratings at investment grade. To maintain these credit ratings, Sempra Energy may consider it appropriate to reduce the amount of its indebtedness outstanding following the Merger. Sempra Energy may seek to reduce this indebtedness with the proceeds from the issuance of additional shares of common stock and, possibly, other equity securities, by reducing discretionary uses of cash, or by a combination of these and other measures. As noted above, issuances of additional shares of common stock (including shares issued upon conversion of other equity securities) would have the effect, and the issuance of other equity securities could have the effect, of diluting the economic and voting interests of Sempra Energy’s shareholders, may reduce Sempra Energy’s earnings per share and may adversely affect, perhaps substantially, the market price of Sempra Energy’s common stock. However, the ability of Sempra Energy to raise additional equity financing after completion of the Merger will be subject to market conditions and a number of other risks and uncertainties, including whether the results of operations of the combined company meet the expectations of investors and securities analysts. There can be no assurance that Sempra Energy will be able to issue additional shares of its common stock or other equity securities after the Merger on terms that it considers acceptable or at all, or that Sempra Energy will be able to reduce the amount of its outstanding indebtedness after the Merger, should it elect to do so, to a level that permits it to maintain its investment grade credit ratings.
The Merger may not positively affect Sempra Energy’s results of operations and may cause a decrease in its earnings per share, which may negatively affect the market price of Sempra Energy common stock and debt securities.
Sempra Energy anticipates that the Merger, if consummated on the terms and under the financing structure currently contemplated, will have a positive impact on its consolidated results of operations. This expectation is based on current market conditions and is subject to a number of assumptions, estimates, projections and other uncertainties, including assumptions regarding the results of operations of the combined company after the Merger, the relative mix and timing of debt and equity financing necessary to fund the Merger Consideration and the price and interest rates at which Sempra Energy will be able to sell its debt and equity securities. This expectation also assumes that Oncor will perform in accordance with Sempra Energy’s expectations, and there can be no assurance that this will occur. In addition, Sempra Energy may encounter additional transaction costs and costs to manage its investment in Oncor, may fail to realize some or any of the benefits anticipated in the Merger, may be subject to currently unknown liabilities as a result of the Merger, or may be subject to other factors that affect preliminary estimates. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Merger will positively impact Sempra Energy’s results of operations, and it is possible that the Merger may have an adverse effect, which could be material, on Sempra Energy’s results of operations, financial condition and prospects or may cause its earnings per share to decrease, any of which may materially adversely affect the market price of Sempra Energy’s common stock and debt securities.
Certain “ring-fencing” measures and other existing governance mechanisms will limit Sempra Energy’s ability to influence the management and policies of Oncor.
EFH and Oncor implemented various “ring-fencing” measures in 2007 to enhance Oncor’s separateness from its owners and to mitigate the risk that Oncor would be negatively impacted in the event of a bankruptcy or other adverse financial developments affecting EFH or its other subsidiaries or owners. This ring-fence has created both legal and financial separation between Oncor Holdings, Oncor and their subsidiaries, on the one hand, and EFH and its affiliates and other subsidiaries, on the other hand.
Pursuant to the agreements related to the Merger, existing governance mechanisms and commitments made by Sempra Energy as part of the application for PUCT approval of the Merger, Sempra Energy has committed to certain ring-fencing measures and will be


subject to certain restrictions following the Merger. These measures, governance mechanisms and restrictions include the following, among other things:
10.2Following consummation of
Amended and Restated Sempra Employee and Director Savings Plan, formerly known as the Merger, the board of directors of Oncor will consist of thirteen members, seven of which will be independent directors under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (and at least two of which shall have no current or prior material relationship with Sempra Energy), two of which will be designated by EFIH (which, after the Merger, will be a subsidiary of Sempra Energy that Sempra Energy is expected to control), two of which will be appointed by Oncor’s minority owner, TTI, which is an investment vehicle owned by third parties unaffiliated with EFH and Sempra Energy and that owns approximately 19.75 percent of the outstanding membership interests in Oncor, and two of which will be members of Oncor management. As a result, Sempra Energy will not control the operations, management or policies of Oncor, Oncor Holdings and their respective subsidiaries and will have limited representation on the Oncor Holdings and Oncor boards of directors. Sempra Energy will account for Oncor using the equity method of accounting and not as a consolidated subsidiary;2005 Deferred Compensation Plan.
X
If the credit rating on Oncor’s senior secured debt by any rating agency falls below BBB (or the equivalent), Sempra Energy has agreed that Oncor will suspend dividends until otherwise allowed by the PUCT;
Sempra Energy has agreed to work in good faith so that, within 180 days after the Merger, an equity investment is made in Oncor in an amount sufficient to allow Oncor to achieve a capital structure consisting of 57.5 percent long-term debt and 42.5 percent equity;
EXHIBIT INDEX (CONTINUED)
Exhibit NumberOncor may not pay dividends to its owners, including Sempra Energy, if and to the extent that payment would cause its debt-to-equity ratio to exceed the debt-to-equity ratio required by the PUCT described below;
Exhibit Description
Oncor may not pay any dividends or make any other distributions of cash or property to its owners, including Sempra Energy, if either a majority of its independent directors or one of the directors appointed by Oncor’s minority owner, TTI, determines it is in the best interests of Oncor to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements;
Certain transactions, including certain mergers and sales of substantially all assets, changes to the dividend policy and declarations of bankruptcy and liquidation, require the approval of all,Filed or in certain circumstances a majority, of the independent directors of Oncor and at least one, or in certain circumstances both, of the directors appointed by Oncor’s minority owner, TTI; and
There must be maintained certain “separateness measures” that reinforce the financial separation of Oncor from EFH and EFH’s owners, such as a prohibition on Oncor providing guarantees or security for debt of EFH or Sempra Energy.
Accordingly, Sempra Energy will not control Oncor and will have only a limited ability to direct the management, policies and operations of Oncor, including the deployment or disposition of Oncor assets, declarations of dividends, strategic planning and other important corporate issues. Moreover, subject to Oncor closing the transaction to exchange certain assets with Sharyland Distribution & Transmission Services LLC by November 27, 2017, the PUCT has approved the modification of Oncor’s required capital structure from an assumed debt-to-equity ratio of 60 percent debt to 40 percent equity to an assumed ratio of 57.5 percent debt to 42.5 percent equity. This modification would require Oncor to take certain actions to raise its equity percentage, including but not limited to reducing or eliminating dividends or requiring capital contributions by Sempra Energy. The existence of these ring-fencing measures may increase Sempra Energy’s costs of financing and operating EFH and its subsidiaries. Further, the Oncor directors have considerable autonomy and as described in our commitments have a duty to act in the best interest of Oncor consistent with the approved ring-fence and Delaware law, which may be contrary to Sempra Energy’s best interests or be in opposition to Sempra Energy’s preferred strategic direction for Oncor. To the extent they take actions that are not in Sempra Energy’s interests, the financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the combined company may be materially adversely affected.
Certain key personnel at Oncor may choose to depart Oncor prior to, upon completion of or shortly after the Merger, and any loss of key personnel may materially adversely affect the future business and operations of Oncor and the anticipated benefits of the Merger.
If, despite efforts to retain certain key personnel at Oncor, any key personnel depart or fail to continue employment as a result of the Merger, the loss of the services of such personnel and their experience and knowledge could adversely affect Oncor’s results of operations, financial condition and prospects and the successful ongoing operation of its business, which could also have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the combined company after completion of the Merger.
If Oncor fails to respond to challenges in the electric utility industry, including changes in regulation, its results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected, and this could materially adversely affect the combined company.
Because Oncor is regulated by both U.S. federal and Texas state authorities, it has been and will continue to be affected by legislative and regulatory developments. The costs and burdens associated with complying with these regulatory requirements and adjusting Oncor’s business to legislative and regulatory developments may have a material adverse effect on Oncor. Moreover, potential legislative changes, regulatory changes or other market or industry changes may create greater risks to the predictability of utility earnings generally. If Oncor does not successfully respond to these changes, it could suffer a deterioration in its results of operations, financial condition and prospects, which could materially adversely affect the results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the combined company after the Merger.


Oncor’s operations are capital intensive and it could have liquidity needs that may require Sempra Energy to make additional investments in Oncor.
Oncor’s business is capital intensive, and it relies on external financing as a significant source of liquidity for its capital requirements. In the past, Oncor has financed a substantial portion of its cash needs with the proceeds from indebtedness. In the event that Oncor fails to meet its capital requirements or if its credit ratings at closing by any one of the three major ratingFurnished Herewithagencies are below the ratings as of June 30, 2017, Sempra Energy may be required to make additional investments in Oncor or if Oncor is unable to access sufficient capital to finance its ongoing needs, Sempra Energy may elect to make additional investments in Oncor which could be substantial and which would reduce the cash available to Sempra Energy for other purposes, could increase its indebtedness and could ultimately materially adversely affect Sempra Energy’s results of operations, financial condition and prospects after the Merger. In that regard, Sempra Energy’s commitments to the PUCT prohibit Sempra Energy from making loans to Oncor. As a result, if Oncor requires additional financing and cannot obtain it from other sources, Sempra Energy may be required to make a capital contribution, rather than a loan, to Oncor.
The market value of Sempra Energy common stock could decline if its existing shareholders sell large amounts of its common stock in anticipation of or following the Merger, and the market prices of Sempra Energy’s common stock and debt securities may be affected by factors following the Merger that are different from those affecting the market prices for Sempra Energy’s common stock and debt securities prior to the Merger.
Following the Merger, shareholders of Sempra Energy will own interests in a combined company operating an expanded business with more assets and more indebtedness. Current shareholders of Sempra Energy may not wish to continue to invest in the combined company, or may wish to reduce their investment in the combined company, for a number of reasons, which may include loss of confidence in the ability of the combined company to execute its business strategies, to comply with institutional investing guidelines, to increase diversification or to track any rebalancing of stock indices in which Sempra Energy common stock is included. If, before or following the Merger, large amounts of Sempra Energy common stock are sold, the market price of its common stock could decline.
If the Merger is consummated, the risks associated with the combined company may affect the results of operations of the combined company and the market prices of Sempra Energy’s common stock and debt securities following the Merger differently than they affected such results of operations and market prices prior to the Merger. Additionally, the results of operations of the combined company may be affected by additional or different risks than those that currently affect the results of operations of Sempra Energy. Any of the foregoing matters could materially adversely affect the market prices of Sempra Energy’s common stock and debt securities following the Merger.
