Sempra Energy’s businesses arewere managed within six6 separate reportable segments until April 2019 and 5 separate reportable segments thereafter, which we discuss in Note 12. In the first quarter of 2019, our Sempra LNG & Midstream segment was renamed “Sempra LNG.” This segment name change had no impact on our historical position, results of operations, cash flow or segment level results previously reported. All references in these Notes to our reportable segments are not intended to refer to any legal entity with the same or similar name.
SDG&E
SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include its accounts and the accounts of a VIE of which SDG&E iswas the primary beneficiary as we discuss below in “Variable Interest Entities.”until August 23, 2019, at which time SDG&E deconsolidated the VIE. SDG&E’s common stock is wholly owned by Enova Corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy.
SoCalGas
SoCalGas’ common stock is wholly owned by Pacific Enterprises, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy.
In this report, we refer to SDG&E and SoCalGas collectively as the California Utilities.
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,” “us,” “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 the consolidated financial statements of each reporting entity.
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;VIE (until deconsolidation of Otay Mesa VIE in August 2019); and
the Condensed Financial Statements and related Notes of SoCalGas.
We have prepared the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and in accordance with the interim-period-reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. 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 March 31, 20192020 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, 20182019 balance sheet information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been derived from our audited 20182019 Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, which for Sempra Energy has been retrospectively adjusted for discontinued operations, as we discuss below.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-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 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 the information in this Quarterly Reportreport in conjunction with the Annual Report.
Discontinued Operations
OnIn January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses based on our strategic focus on North America. We determined that these businesses, which previously constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment, and certain activities associated with these businesses, met the held-for-sale criteria. These businesses are presented as discontinued operations, which we discuss further in Note 5, as the planned sale representssales represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Throughout this report, the financial information for all periods presented has been adjusted to reflect the presentation of these businesses as discontinued operations, which we discuss further in Note 5. Our discussions in the Notes below relate only to our continuing operations unless otherwise noted.
Regulated Operations
The California Utilities and Sempra Mexico’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 the effects of regulation and revenue recognition at our utilities in Notes 1 and 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Our Sempra Texas UtilityUtilities segment is comprised of our equity method investmentinvestments in Oncor Holdings, which owns 80.25 percent of Oncor, as we discussholding companies that own interests in Notes 5 and 6. Oncor is a regulated electric transmission and distribution utilityutilities in Texas and prepares itsprepare their financial statements in accordance with the provisions of U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations.
Our Sempra Mexico segment includes the operating companies of our subsidiary, IEnova.IEnova, as well as certain holding companies and risk management activity. Certain business activities at IEnova are regulated by the Comisión Reguladora de Energía (Energy Regulatory Commission inof Mexico) and meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP. Pipeline projects under construction at IEnova that meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP record the impact of AFUDC related to equity. We discuss AFUDC below and in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the sum of such amounts reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We provide information about the nature of restricted cash in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

CREDIT LOSSES
We are exposed to credit losses from financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other accounts receivable and amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates. We are also exposed to credit losses from off-balance sheet arrangements through our guarantees of Cameron LNG JV’s debt.
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 receivable, historical and industry trends, counterparty creditworthiness, economic conditions and specific events, such as bankruptcies. We write off financial assets measured at amortized cost in the period in which we deem they are not recoverable. We record recoveries of amounts previously written off when it is known that they will be recovered.
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Utilities have implemented certain measures to assist customers, including suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment, waiving late payment fees for business customers, and offering


flexible payment plans for customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. On April 16, 2020, the CPUC approved a resolution authorizing each of the California Utilities to establish a CPPMA to track and request recovery, which is not assured, of incremental costs associated with complying with residential and small business customer relief measures implemented by the CPUC related to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of March 31, 2020, the California Utilities have evaluated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the measures described above, on their respective allowances for credit losses for customer receivables, with nominal impacts. The unique nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the relatively short amount of time in which the California Utilities had been impacted as of March 31, 2020 result in limited support for modifying our evaluation of historical experience or forecasting future economic impacts that may or may not be experienced when calculating the allowances. Our businesses will continue to monitor economic impacts and customer payment patterns when evaluating their allowances for credit losses in future reporting periods, which may increase materially due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors.
We provide below allowances and changes in allowances for credit losses for trade and other accounts receivable, excluding allowances related to amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet arrangements, which we discuss separately below the table.

For amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet arrangements, on a quarterly basis, we evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses, if necessary, based on credit quality indicators such as external credit ratings, published default rate studies, the maturity date of the instrument and past delinquencies. However, we do not record allowances for expected credit losses related to accrued interest receivable on loans due from unconsolidated affiliates because we write off such amounts, if any, through a reversal of interest income in the period we determine such amounts are uncollectible. In the absence of external credit ratings, we may utilize an internally developed credit rating based on our analysis of a counterparty’s financial statements to determine our expected credit losses.
As we discuss below in “Transactions with Affiliates,” we have loans due from unconsolidated affiliates with varying tenors, interest rates and currencies. We provide below the changes in allowances for credit losses for loans and other amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates.

As we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, Sempra LNG has provided guarantees for a maximum aggregate amount of $4.0 billion associated with Cameron LNG JV’s debt obligations. We established a liability for credit losses of $6 million for this off-balance sheet arrangement upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 and we subsequently reduced this liability by $1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2020 through a reduction to credit loss expense, which is included in O&M on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. At March 31, 2020, expected credit losses of $4 million are included in Other Current Liabilities and $1 million are included in Deferred Credits and Other on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk of loss that would be incurred as a result of nonperformance by our counterparties on their contractual obligations. We have policies governing the management of credit risk that are administered by the respective credit departments at each of our segments and overseen by their separate risk management committees.
This oversight includes calculating current and potential credit risk on a regular basis and monitoring actual balances in comparison to approved limits. We establish credit limits based on risk and return considerations under terms customarily available in the industry. We avoid concentration of counterparties whenever possible, and we believe our credit policies significantly reduce overall credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of:
prospective counterparties’ financial condition (including credit ratings)
collateral requirements
the use of standardized agreements that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty
downgrade triggers
We believe that we have provided adequate reserves for counterparty nonperformance.
In the three months ended March 31, 2020, four customers each represented 10% or more of Sempra Mexico’s revenues (including intercompany transactions with affiliates consolidated by Sempra Energy). Additionally, for the same period, certain of our unconsolidated equity method investees (Oncor Holdings, Cameron LNG JV and IMG JV) had customers that each represented 10% or more of their respective revenues.
When our development projects become operational, we rely significantly on the ability of suppliers to perform under long-term agreements and on our ability to enforce contract terms in the event of nonperformance. Also, the factors that we consider in evaluating a development project include negotiating customer and supplier agreements and, therefore, we rely on these agreements for future performance. We also may condition our decision to go forward on development projects on first obtaining these customer and supplier agreements.

INVENTORIESWILDFIRE FUND
On July 12, 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 the Wildfire Legislation further in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in July 2019, plaintiffs seek to invalidate AB 1054, which established the Wildfire Fund, based on allegations that the legislation violates federal law. The following table presentsCalifornia Attorney General has moved to dismiss the componentscomplaint.
Wildfire Fund Asset
In the third quarter of inventories2019, SDG&E recorded a Wildfire Fund asset for its commitment to make shareholder contributions totaling $451.5 million, measured at present value as of July 25, 2019 (the date by segment.which both Edison and SDG&E opted to contribute to the Wildfire Fund). SDG&E is amortizing the Wildfire Fund asset to O&M on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit, as adjusted for utilization by the IOUs. The estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset is 15 years as of March 31, 2020.

We will periodically reevaluate the estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset based on actual experience and changes in assumptions. SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record a charge against earnings in the period when there is a reduction of the available coverage due to recoverable claims from the IOUs. The reduction to the Wildfire Fund asset may be proportionate to the Wildfire Fund’s consumption (i.e., recoveries for outstanding wildfire claims that are recoverable from the Wildfire Fund, net of anticipated or actual reimbursement to the Wildfire Fund by the responsible IOU, would decrease the Wildfire Fund asset and remaining available coverage). In the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were no such known claims from the IOUs requiring a reduction of the Wildfire Fund asset.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the current portion of the Wildfire Fund asset of $29 million is included in Other Current Assets on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and in Prepaid Expenses on SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the noncurrent portion of $385 million and $392 million, respectively, is included in Wildfire Fund on Sempra Energy’s and SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, SDG&E recognized $7 million of amortization of the Wildfire Fund asset.
Wildfire Fund Obligation
In the third quarter of 2019, SDG&E recorded a Wildfire Fund obligation for its commitment to make shareholder contributions totaling $451.5 million, measured at present value as of July 25, 2019 (the date by which both Edison and SDG&E opted to contribute to the Wildfire Fund). SDG&E accretes the present value of the Wildfire Fund obligation to O&M until the liability is settled. At both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Wildfire Fund obligation of $12.9 million is included in Other Current Liabilities and $86 million is included in Deferred Credits and Other on Sempra Energy’s and SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the three months ended March 31, 2020, SDG&E recognized negligible accretion of the Wildfire Fund obligation.
CAPITALIZED FINANCING COSTS
Capitalized financing costs include capitalized interest costs and AFUDC related to both debt and equity financing of construction projects. We capitalize interest costs incurred to finance capital projects and interest onat equity method investments that have not commenced planned principal operations.

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 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 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 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 thereby 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 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 we consider 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 determine that SDG&E 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 a tolling agreement to purchase power generated at OMEC, a 605-MW generating facility. Under the terms of a related agreement, OMEC LLC can require SDG&E to purchase the power plant (referred to as the put option) on or before October 3, 2019 for $280 million, subject to adjustments, or upon earlier termination of the PPA.
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 $102 million at March 31, 2019 and $100 million at December 31, 2018 is included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other Noncontrolling Interests for Sempra Energy and in Noncontrolling Interest for SDG&E.
In October 2018, SDG&E and OMEC LLC signed a resource adequacy capacity agreement for a term that would commence at the expiration of the current tolling agreement in October 2019 and end in August 2024. The capacity agreement was approved by OMEC LLC’s lenders and the CPUC in December 2018 and February 2019, respectively. However, given certain pending requests for rehearing of the CPUC’s decisions related to OMEC, on March 28, 2019, OMEC LLC exercised the put option requiring SDG&E to purchase the power plant by October 3, 2019. The outcome of these rehearing requests could impact the effectiveness of the resource adequacy capacity agreement and whether the OMEC facility is purchased by SDG&E.
OMEC LLC has a loan outstanding of $220 million at March 31, 2019, which we describe in Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. SDG&E is not a party to the loan agreement and does not have any additional implicit or explicit financial responsibility to OMEC LLC, nor is SDG&E required to assume OMEC LLC’s loan under the put option.
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 nonone of its contracts other than the one relating to Otay Mesa VIE described above, resulted in SDG&E being the primary beneficiary of a VIE at March 31, 2019.2020. In addition to the tolling agreements, described above, other variable interests involve various elements of fuel and power costs, and other components 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 power to direct activities 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 about PPAs with power plant facilities that are VIEs of which SDG&E is not the primary beneficiary in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
We provide additional information regarding Otay Mesa VIE in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Sempra Texas UtilityUtilities
On March 9, 2018, we completed the acquisition of an indirect, 100-percentOur 100% interest in Oncor Holdings is a VIE that owns an 80.25-percent80.25% interest in Oncor. Sempra Energy is not the primary beneficiary of the 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 for additional information about our equity method investment in Oncor Holdings and restrictions on our ability to influence its activities. Our current 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 $9,748$11,619 million at March 31, 20192020 and $9,652$11,519 million at December 31, 2018. Our maximum exposure will fluctuate over time, including as a result of our commitment to contribute an estimated $1,025 million in capital (excluding Sempra Energy’s share of approximately $40 million for a management agreement termination fee, as well as other customary transaction costs incurred by InfraREIT that would be borne by Oncor as part of the acquisition) to partially fund Oncor’s pending acquisition of InfraREIT, which we discuss in Note 5.2019.
Sempra RenewablesMexico
Sempra Mexico’s businesses also enter into arrangements that could include variable interests. We evaluate these arrangements and applicable entities based on the qualitative and quantitative analyses described above. Certain of Sempra Renewables’ wind and solar power generation projects were held by limited liabilitythese entities are service or project companies whose members were Sempra Renewables andthat are VIEs because the total equity at risk is not sufficient for the entities to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial institutions. We sold the solar entities in December 2018 and the wind entities in April 2019. The financial institutions are noncontrolling tax equity investors to which earnings, tax attributes and cash flows were allocated in accordance with the respective limited liability company agreements. These entities were VIEs and Sempra Energy was 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 impacted the economic performance of these VIEs.support. As the primary beneficiary of these tax equity limited liability companies, we consolidatedconsolidate them.
Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include equity The assets of $161these VIEs totaled approximately $131 million at March 31, 20192020 and $158$126 million at December 31, 20182019 and consisted primarily of Other Noncontrolling Interests associated withPP&E and other long-term assets. Our maximum exposure to loss is equal to the carrying value of these entities. Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations include the following amounts associated with the tax equity limited liability companies, net of eliminations of transactions between Sempra Energy and these entities.assets.

Sempra LNG
Cameron LNG JV is a VIE principally due to contractual provisions that transfer certain risks to customers. Sempra Energy is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of Cameron LNG JV, and 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 $1,255$1,184 million at


March 31, 20192020 and $1,271$1,256 million at December 31, 2018.2019. Our current maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, includes the carrying value of our investment and the guarantees that we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Other Variable Interest Entities
Sempra Energy’s other businesses also enter into arrangements that 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 because the total equity at risk is not sufficient for the entities to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support. As the primary beneficiary of these companies, we consolidate them. The assets of these VIEs totaled approximately $502 million at March 31, 2019 and $286 million at December 31, 2018, and consisted primarily of PP&E and other long-term assets. Sempra Energy’s exposure to loss is equal to the carrying value of these assets. In all other cases, we have determined that these arrangements are not variable interests in a VIE and therefore are not subject to the U.S. GAAP requirements concerning the consolidation or disclosures of VIEs.

RABBI TRUST
In support of its Supplemental Executive Retirement, Cash Balance Restoration and Deferred Compensation Plans, Sempra Energy maintains dedicated assets, including a Rabbi Trust and investments in life insurance contracts, which totaled $413 million and $416$488 million at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.


EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
The following table provides EPS computations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common shares (from both continuing and discontinued operations) 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.

(1)
In the three months ended March 31, 2020, due to the dilutive effect of mandatory convertible preferred stock, the numerator used to calculate diluted EPS includes an add-back of mandatory convertible preferred stock dividends declared in that quarter.
(2)
Includes 613542 and 628613 average fully vested RSUs held in our Deferred Compensation Plan for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 2018,2019, 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)(3) 
Due to market fluctuations of both Sempra Energy common stock and the comparative indices used to determine the vesting percentage of our total shareholder return performance-based RSUs, which we discuss in Note 10 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 ended March 31, 20192020 and 20182019 excludes 316,385254,257 and 80,449316,385 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, because to include them would be antidilutive for the period. However, these shares could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.
The potentially dilutive impact from the forward sale of our common stock pursuant to the forward sale agreements that we entered into in 2018 and fully settled by the end of 2019 is reflected in our diluted EPS calculation using the treasury stock method. We anticipate there will be a dilutive effect on our EPS when the average market price ofmethod until settlement. After settlement, those shares of ourare included in weighted-average common stock is above the applicable adjusted forward sale price, subject to increase or decrease based on the overnight bank funding rate, less a spread, and subject to decrease by


amounts related to expected dividends on shares of our common stock during the term of the forward sale agreements. Additionally, if we decide to physically settle or net share settle the forward sale agreements, delivery of our shares to the forward purchasers on any such physical settlement or net share settlement of the forward sale agreements would result in dilution to ouroutstanding for basic EPS.
The potentially dilutive impact from mandatory convertible preferred stock that we issued in 2018 is calculated under the if-converted method. The computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 20192020 and 20182019 excludes 18,601,0850 and 15,592,57218,601,085 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, because to include them would be antidilutive for the period. However, these shares could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Ownership interests that are held by owners other than Sempra Energy Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offerings
In January 2018, we issued 17,250,000 shares of our series A preferred stock in a registered public offering resulting in net proceeds of approximately $1.69 billion. In July 2018, we issued 5,750,000 shares of our series B preferred stock in a registered public offering resulting in net proceeds of approximately $565 million. Each share of series A preferred stock and series B preferred stock has a liquidation value of $100.00. We discuss the preferred stock offerings in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Sempra Energy Common Stock Offerings
In January 2018, we completed the offering of 26,869,158 shares of our common stock, no par value, in a registered public offering at $107.00 per share (approximately $105.07 per share after deducting underwriting discounts), pursuant to forward sale agreements. We received net proceeds totaling approximately $1.27 billion from the sale of shares in the January 2018 offering (including $367 million to cover overallotments) and from the settlement of forward sales in the first quarter of 2018 under the forward sale agreements. We received net proceeds of approximately $800 million from the settlement of forward sales in the second quarter of 2018 under the forward sale agreements. In July 2018, we completed the offering of 11,212,500 shares of our


common stock, no par value, in a registered public offering at $113.75 per share (approximately $111.87 per share after deducting underwriting discounts), pursuant to forward sale agreements. We received net proceeds of approximately $164 million from the sale of shares in the July 2018 offering to cover overallotments. We discuss the common stock offerings in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
As of May 7, 2019, a total of 16,906,185 shares of Sempra Energy common stock remain subject to future settlement under these forward sale agreements, which may be settled on onesubsidiaries or more dates specifiedentities consolidated by us occurring no later than December 15, 2019, which is the final settlement date under the agreements. Although we expect to settle the forward sale agreements entirely by the physical delivery of shares of our common stock in exchangeare accounted for cash proceeds, we may, subject to certain conditions, elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of our obligations under the forward sale agreements. The forward sale agreements are also subject to acceleration by the forward purchasers upon the occurrence of certain events.and reported as NCI.
SoCalGas Preferred Stock
The preferred stock at SoCalGas is presented at Sempra Energy as a noncontrolling interest. Sempra Energy records charges against income related to NCI for preferred stock dividends declared by SoCalGas. We provide additional information regarding preferred stock in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.


Other Noncontrolling Interests
Ownership interests that are held by owners other than Sempra Energy and SDG&E in subsidiaries or entities consolidated by them are accounted for and reported as NCI.
Sempra Mexico
In the first quarter of 2020, IEnova purchased additional shares in ICM Ventures Holdings B.V. for $9 million, increasing its ownership from 53.7% to 82.5%. ICM Ventures Holdings B.V. owns certain permits and land where IEnova is building terminals for the receipt, storage and delivery of liquid fuels.
In the first quarter of 2019, IEnova repurchased 1,600,000 shares of its outstanding common stock held by NCI for approximately $6 million, resulting in an increase in Sempra Energy’s ownership interest in IEnova from 66.5 percent at December 31, 201866.5% to 66.6 percent at March 31, 2019.
Sempra Renewables
As we discuss in Note 5, in April 2019, Sempra Renewables sold its remaining wind assets and investments, which included its wind tax equity arrangements. The remaining ownership interest in PXiSE Energy Solutions, LLC was subsumed into Parent and other.66.6%.
Sempra LNG
On March 30, 2020, Sempra LNG purchased for $7 million the 24.6% minority interest in Liberty Gas Storage LLC, which owns 100% of LA Storage, LLC, increasing Sempra LNG’s ownership in Liberty Gas Storage LLC to 100%. Prior to the purchase, the minority partner converted $22 million in notes payable due from Sempra LNG to equity. As a result of the purchase, we recorded an increase in Sempra Energy’s shareholders’ equity of $2 million for the difference between the carrying value and fair value related to the change in ownership.
In February 7, 2019, Sempra LNG purchased for $20 million the 9.1-percent9.1% minority interest in Bay Gas immediately prior to the sale of 100 percent100% of Bay Gas, which we discussGas.
Sempra LNG and IEnova are jointly developing a proposed natural gas liquefaction project at the site of IEnova’s existing ECA LNG Regasification terminal. Sempra LNG consolidates the ECA LNG JV proposed liquefaction project. Thus, Sempra Energy’s NCI in Note 5.


IEnova’s 50% interest in the proposed project is reported at Sempra LNG.

We discuss how we recognize equity earnings in Note 6 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 ETR anticipated for the full year. Unusual and infrequent items and items that cannot be reliably estimated are recorded in the interim period in which they occur, which can result in variability in the 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 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 ETR. The following items are subject to flow-through treatment:
repairs expenditures related to a certain portion of utility plant fixed assets;assets
the equity portion of AFUDC, which is non-taxable;non-taxable
a portion of the cost of removal of utility plant assets;assets
utility self-developed software expenditures;expenditures
depreciation on a certain portion of utility plant assets; andassets
state income taxes.taxes
The AFUDC related to equity recorded for regulated construction projects at Sempra Mexico has similar flow-through treatment.
We record income tax (expense) benefit from the transactional effects of foreign currency and inflation. Such effects are partially mitigated by net gains (losses) from foreign currency derivatives that are hedging Sempra Mexico parent’s exposure to movements in the Mexico peso from its controlling interest in IEnova.
In the three months ended March 31, 2019, SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded income tax benefits of $31 million and $35 million, respectively, from the release of a regulatory liability established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision.


Discontinued Operations
OnIn January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses, as we discuss in Note 5. Prior to this decision, our repatriation estimate excluded post-2017 earnings and other basis differences related to our South American


businesses. Because of our decision to sell our South American businesses, we no longer assert indefinite reinvestment of these basis differences and havedifferences. Accordingly, we recorded the following income tax impacts from changes in outside basis differences in our discontinued operations in the three months ended March 31, 2019:South America:
$103 million income tax expense in 2019 related to outside basis differences existing as of the January 25, 2019 approval of our plan to sell our South American businesses; and
$137 million income tax benefit in 2020 compared to $13 million income tax expense in 2019 related to the increasechanges in outside basis differences from 2019 earnings and foreign currency effects since January 25, 2019.
WeAs of March 31, 2020, we have not changed our indefinite reinvestment assertion or repatriation plan for our continuing international operations.plan.
     
NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
We describe below recent accounting pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” ASU 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842,” ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” ASU 2018-20, “Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors” and ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements” (collectively referred to as the “lease standard”): In 2016, the FASB began issuing the first in a series of ASUs intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations with leasing activities. The most significant provision of the lease standard is the requirement that lessees recognize operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.
We adopted the lease standard on January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method to apply the new guidance prospectively as of January 1, 2019, rather than as of the earliest period presented. We elected the package of practical expedients that permits us to not reassess (a) whether a contract is or contains a lease, (b) lease classification or (c) determination of initial direct costs, which allows us to carry forward accounting conclusions under previous U.S. GAAP on contracts that commenced prior to adoption of the lease standard. We also elected the land easement practical expedient, which allows us to continue to account for pre-existing land easements under our accounting policy that existed before adoption of the lease standard. We did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in making judgments when determining the lease term.
The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported financial statements. However, in accordance with the lease standard, on a prospective basis, a significant portion of finance lease costs for PPAs that have historically been presented in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power are now presented in Depreciation and Amortization Expense and Interest Expense on Sempra Energy’s and SDG&E’s statements of operations. Additionally, the adoption of the lease standard had a material impact on our balance sheets at January 1, 2019 due to the initial recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. Our finance leases were already included on our balance sheets prior to adoption of the lease standard, consistent with previous U.S. GAAP for capital leases.
The following table shows the initial (decreases) increases on our balance sheets at January 1, 2019 from adoption of the lease standard.

As a result of the adoption of the lease standard, we derecognized our corporate headquarters building lease in accordance with the transition provisions for build-to-suit arrangements. On a prospective basis, we will account for the corporate headquarters building lease as an operating lease. The initial impact is included in the above table.
We include additional disclosures about our leases in Note 11.
ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”: ASU 2016-13, as amended by subsequently issued ASUs, 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 most financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables, loan receivables and commitments and financial guarantees. ASU 2016-13 also requires use of an allowance 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, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments are to be applied We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earningsearnings. The adoption primarily impacted the expected credit losses associated with accounts receivable balances, amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet financial guarantees. There was an insignificant impact to SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ balance sheets from adoption. The following table shows the initial (decreases) increases on Sempra Energy’s balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in the year of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting and plan to adopt the standard on January 1, 2020.2020 from adoption of ASU 2016-13.

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,We adopted 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 appliedon January 1, 2020 and will apply the standard on a prospective basis. We planbasis to adopt the standard on January 1, 2020.our goodwill impairment tests.
ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”: ASU 2018-02 contains amendments that allow a reclassification from AOCI2019-12 simplifies certain areas of accounting for income taxes. In addition to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the TCJA. Under ASU 2018-02, an entity is required to provide certain disclosures regarding stranded tax effects, including its accounting policy related to releasing the income tax effects from AOCI. The amendments inother changes, this update can be applied either as of the beginning of the period of adoption or retrospectively as of the date of enactment of the TCJA and to each period in which the effect of the TCJA is recognized. We adopted ASU 2018-02 on January 1, 2019 and reclassified the income tax effects of the TCJA from AOCI to retained earnings.
The impact from adoption of ASU 2018-02 on January 1, 2019 wasstandard amends ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” as follows:
Sempra Energy: increase of $40 millionremoves the exception to beginning Retained Earnings, $2 million to noncurrent Regulatory Liabilitiesthe incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and $42 million to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss;income or a gain from other items, including discontinued operations or other comprehensive income;
SDG&E: increasesimplifies the recognition of $2 milliondeferred taxes related to beginning Retained Earningsbasis differences as a result of ownership changes in investments;


specifies an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss;deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements; and
SoCalGas: increaserequires an entity to reflect the effect of $2 million to beginning Retained Earnings, $2 million to noncurrent Regulatory Liabilities and $4 million to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual ETR computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date.
For public entities, ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The transition method related to the amendments made by ASU 2019-12 varies based on the nature of the change. We will adopt the standard on January 1, 2021 and do not expect it will have a material impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”: ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications that replace LIBOR or another reference rate affected by reference rate reform and to hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate that is affected or expected to be affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 and can be applied through December 31, 2022, with certain exceptions for hedging relationships that continue to exist after this date, and may be applied from January 1, 2020. For contract modifications, the standard allows entities to account for modifications as an event that does not require reassessment or remeasurement (i.e., as a continuation of the existing contract). The standard also allows entities to amend their formal designation and documentation of hedging relationships affected or expected to be affected by reference rate reform, without having to de-designate the hedging relationship. Entities may elect the optional expedients and exceptions on an individual hedging relationship basis and independently from one another. We elected the optional expedients for contract modifications and the hedging expedient to disregard the potential discontinuation of a reference rate when assessing whether a hedged forecasted interest payment is probable. We are applying these expedients prospectively from January 1, 2020. We are still evaluating the remaining optional expedients and exceptions for hedging relationships.
     
NOTE 3. REVENUES
We discuss revenue recognition for revenues from contracts with customers and from sources other than contracts with customers in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Utilities and the CPUC have implemented certain measures to assist customers, including suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment, waiving late payment fees for business customers, and offering flexible payment plans for customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. Additional measures could be mandated or voluntarily implemented in the future. Under the regulatory compact applicable to the California Utilities, including decoupling of rates, recovery of uncollectible expenses, and other recovery mechanisms potentially available (including the CPPMA, which we discuss in Note 4), the California Utilities have continued to recognize revenues under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” in the three months ended March 31, 2020.
The following table disaggregates our revenues from contracts with customers by major service line and market and provides a reconciliation to total revenues by segment. The majority of our revenue is recognized over time.

CALIFORNIA UTILITIES
COVID-19 Pandemic Protections Memorandum Account
The COVID-19 pandemic is causing a significant impact on the economy and people’s livelihoods in California. On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency in California as a result of the threat of COVID-19. In response, on March 17, 2020, the CPUC announced that, retroactive to March 4, 2020, all energy companies under its jurisdiction, including the California Utilities, should take action to implement several emergency customer protection measures to support California customers. On April 16, 2020, the CPUC approved a resolution establishing a disaster relief plan for residential and small business customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The resolution also authorizes each of the California Utilities to establish a CPPMA to track and request recovery of incremental costs associated with complying with the resolution, including, but not limited to, costs associated with suspending disconnections (such as costs that arise from customers’ failure to pay). The customer relief measures are effective March 4, 2020 and shall continue for up to one year. SDG&E extended these accommodations to all of its customers and may continue to do so, while SoCalGas provides these benefits to its core gas customers. The California Utilities expect to pursue recovery in rates of the costs associated with the consumer protections that are offered in a future proceeding, subject to CPUC approval, which is not assured.
CPUC General Rate Case
The CPUC uses a GRC proceedingproceedings to set sufficient rates designed to allow the California Utilities to recover their reasonable cost of O&Moperating costs and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investment.investments.
2019 General Rate Case
On October 6, 2017, SDG&E and SoCalGas filed their 2019 GRC applications requesting CPUC approval of test year revenue requirements for 2019 and attrition year adjustments for 2020 through 2022. SDG&E and SoCalGas are seeking revenue requirements for 2019 of $2.203 billion and $2.937 billion, respectively, which is an increase of $221 million and $481 million


over their respective 2018 revenue requirements (the 2019 proposed and 2018 actual revenue requirements reflect the impact of various updates made during the course of the proceeding). The California Utilities are proposing post-test year revenue requirement annual attrition percentages that are estimated to result in annual increases of approximately 5 percent to 7 percent at SDG&E and approximately 6 percent to 8 percent at SoCalGas. The original GRC applications filed in October 2017 did not reflect the impact of the TCJA, which we discuss in “2016 General Rate Case” below and in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. In April 2018, SDG&E and SoCalGas updated their applications to reflect the impact of the TCJA and filed a joint proposal to address the impacts. The TCJA impact to SDG&E is a reduction of approximately $58 million to its 2019 test year revenue requirement; however, SDG&E’s 2019 requested revenue requirement is unchanged as we evaluate potentially higher costs associated with mitigating wildfire risks. The TCJA impact to SoCalGas’ 2019 requested revenue requirement is a reduction of approximately $58 million, which is reflected in its updated request.
During the course of the proceeding, Cal PA recommended 2019 revenue requirements of $1.918 billion and $2.695 billion for SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively, which is a net decrease of $64 million for SDG&E and a net increase of $239 million for SoCalGas compared to the 2018 revenue requirements. Cal PA proposes a three-year annual attrition percentage of 4 percent for SDG&E and a range of 4 percent to 5 percent for SoCalGas. Cal PA recommends addressing SDG&E’s potential ownership of OMEC in a separate proceeding. As a result, Cal PA’s proposed 2019 revenue requirement does not include the estimated $68 million included in SDG&E’s GRC application associated with owning and operating the generating facility. As we discuss in Note 1, on March 28, 2019, OMEC LLC exercised the put option requiring SDG&E to purchase the power plant by October 3, 2019, which is subject to the results of rehearing requests. TURN and other intervenors oppose various components of our revenue requests in the 2019 GRC applications.
The results of the rate case may materially and adversely differ from what is contained in the GRC applications.
We expect a preliminary decision from the CPUC in mid-2019.
2016 General Rate Case
As we discuss in NotesNote 4 and 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, in September 2019, the 2016CPUC issued a final decision in the 2019 GRC. The 2019 GRC FD requiredwas effective retroactive to January 1, 2019. In the third quarter of 2019, SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded the retroactive after-tax earnings impact of $36 million and $84 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2019 and $30 million and $46 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2019.
The 2019 GRC FD approved SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ test year revenues for 2019 and attrition year adjustments for 2020 and 2021. In January 2020, the CPUC issued a final decision implementing a four-year GRC cycle for California IOUs. The California Utilities were directed to each establishfile a petition for modification to revise their 2019 GRC to add two additional attrition years, resulting in a transitional five-year GRC period (2019-2023). The California Utilities filed the petition in April 2020 and requested authorization of their post-test year ratemaking mechanism for two additional years. If adopted, the estimated incremental increase in the revenue requirement for SDG&E and SoCalGas would be approximately $106 million and $155 million, respectively, for 2022, and $108 million and $137 million, respectively, for 2023. These amounts include revenues for both O&M and capital cost attrition. The California Utilities requested a decision by the end of 2020.
The 2019 GRC FD clarified that differences between incurred and forecasted income tax expense due to forecasting differences are not subject to tracking in the income tax expense memorandum account beginning in 2019. SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded regulatory liabilities associated with the 2016 through 2018 tracked forecasting differences of $86 million and $89 million, respectively. In April 2020, the CPUC confirmed treatment of the two-way income tax expense memorandum account to track certain revenue variances resulting from certain differences between the income tax expense forecasted in the GRC and the income tax expense incurred fromfor these 2016 through 2018. At March 31, 2019,2018 balances, at which time the recordedCalifornia Utilities released these regulatory liability associated with these tracked amounts totaled $90 million and $95 million for SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively. The recorded liability is primarily relatedbalances to lower income tax expense incurred than was forecasted in the GRC relating to tax repairs deductions, self-developed software deductions and certain book-over-tax depreciation. The tracking accounts will remain open until the CPUC decides to close the accounts, which we expect will be reviewed in the 2019 GRC proceedings.
The 2016 GRC FD revenue requirement was authorized using a federal income tax rate of 35 percent. As a result of the TCJA, the federal income tax rate of 21 percent became effective January 1, 2018. Since SDG&E and SoCalGas continue to collect authorized revenues based on a 35 percent tax rate, SDG&E and SoCalGas are recording revenue deferrals, aligned with authorized seasonality factors, that reflect the estimated reduction in the revenue requirement. As of March 31, 2019, SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded regulatory liabilities of $95 million and $91 million, respectively, in anticipation of amounts that will benefit customers in future rates. SDG&E also recorded a $85 million regulatory liability at March 31, 2019, relating to its FERC jurisdictional rates, in anticipation of amounts that will benefit customers in future rates for the decrease in the federal income tax rate.revenues.
CPUC Cost of Capital
In AprilDecember 2019, the CPUC approved the cost of capital and rate structures (shown in the table below) for SDG&E and SoCalGas filed separate applications with the CPUC to update their cost of capitalthat are effective January 1, 2020.2020 and will remain in effect through December 31, 2022. SDG&E proposeddid not propose a 2020 cost of preferred equity in this proceeding. In January 2020, SDG&E filed an advice letter to adjust its authorized capital structure by increasingcontinue the amountcost of its commonpreferred equity from 52 percent to 56 percent. SDG&E also proposed to increase its authorized ROE from 10.2 percent to 14.3 percent, including a premium for wildfire risk of 3.4 percent, and to increase its authorized return on rate base from 7.55 percent to 10.03 percent. SoCalGas proposed to adjust its authorized capital structure by increasingtest year 2020 at 6.22%, which the amount of its common equity from 52 percent to 56 percent. SoCalGas also proposed to increase its authorized ROE from 10.05 percent to 10.7 percent and to increase its authorized return on rate base from 7.34 percent to 7.85 percent.CPUC approved in March 2020.

Billing Practices OII


In May 2017,The CCM was reauthorized in the 2020 cost of capital proceeding to continue through 2022. The CCM benchmark rate for the 2020 cost of capital is the average monthly utility bond index, as published by Moody’s, for the 12-month period from October 2018 through September 2019. SDG&E’s CCM benchmark rate, based on its filing pending approval with the CPUC, issued an OIIis 4.498%, based on Moody’s Baa- utility bond index. SoCalGas’ CCM benchmark rate, based on its filing pending approval with the CPUC, is 4.029%, based on Moody’s A- utility bond index. The index applicable to each utility is based on such utility’s credit rating.
The CCM benchmark rates for SDG&E and SoCalGas are the basis of comparison to determine whether SoCalGas violated any provisionsif future measurement periods “trigger” the CCM. The 12 months ending September 2020 will be the first “CCM Period” to determine if there has been a trigger at SDG&E or SoCalGas. The trigger occurs if the change in the applicable average Moody’s utility bond index relative to the CCM benchmark is larger than plus or minus 1.000%. Accordingly, if a change of more than plus or minus 1.000% occurs, SDG&E’s, SoCalGas’, or both utilities’ authorized ROE would be adjusted, upward or downward, by one half of the difference between the CCM benchmark and the 12-month average determined during the CCM Period. In addition, the authorized recovery rate for the utilities’ cost of debt and preferred equity would be adjusted to their respective actual weighted-average cost, with no change to the authorized capital structure. In the event of a CCM trigger, the CCM benchmark is also re-established. These adjustments would become effective in authorized rates on January 1 of the year following the CCM trigger.
SDG&E
FERC Formulaic Rate Filing
In October 2018, SDG&E submitted its TO5 filing to the FERC to establish its transmission revenue requirement, including rate of return, for SDG&E’s FERC-regulated electric transmission operations and assets. In December 2018, the FERC issued its order accepting and suspending SDG&E’s TO5 filing for five months, during which the existing TO4 rates remained in effect, and established hearing and settlement procedures. The suspension period ended on June 1, 2019, when the proposed TO5 rates took effect, subject to refund and the outcome of the rate filing. As a result, the TO4 ROE of 10.05% was the basis of SDG&E’s FERC-related revenue recognition until March 2020, when the FERC approved the settlement terms that SDG&E and all settling parties reached in October 2019.
The settlement agreement 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 Public Utilities Code, General Orders, CPUC decisions, or other requirements pertainingISO. If the FERC issues an order ruling that California IOUs are no longer eligible for the additional California ISO ROE, SDG&E would refund the additional 50 bps of ROE associated with the California ISO as of the refund effective date (June 1, 2019) in this proceeding. The TO5 term is effective June 1, 2019 and shall remain in effect indefinitely, with parties having the annual right to billing practices from 2014 through 2016. The CPUC examinedterminate the timelinessagreement beginning in 2022.
In the first quarter of monthly bills, extending the billing period for customers,2020, SDG&E recorded retroactive revenues of $12 million related to 2019, and issuing estimated bills, including an examinationadditional FERC revenues of SoCalGas’ gas tariff rules. In January 2019, the CPUC ordered SoCalGas to pay $8 million in penalties, including $3 million payable to California’s general fund and $5$17 million to conclude a rate base matter, net of certain refunds to be creditedpaid to customers that received delayed bills (greater than 45 days) in the form of a $100 bill credit.

On October 18, 2018, Sempra Energy entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement, whereby Sempra Texas Utilities Holdings I, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy in our Sempra Texas Utility reportable segment) has agreed to acquire a 50-percent economic interest in Sharyland Holdings, LP for approximately $98 million, subject to customary closing adjustments. In connection with and prior to the consummation of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Sharyland Holdings, LP would own 100- percent of the membership interests in SU and SU would convert into a limited liability company, which is expected to be named Sharyland Utilities, LLC. Upon consummation of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Sempra Texas Utilities Holdings I, LLC would indirectly own and account for its 50-percent membership interest in Sharyland Utilities, LLC as an equity method investment. Consummation of the Securities Purchase Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including the substantially concurrent consummation of the transactions contemplated by the InfraREIT Merger Agreement and the Asset Exchange Agreement.
For Oncor to fund its acquisition of interests in InfraREIT, Sempra Energy and certain indirect equity holders of TTI have committed to make capital contributions proportionate to their respective ownership interest in Oncor, with the amount estimated to be contributed by Sempra Energy equal to approximately $1,025 million, excluding Sempra Energy’s share of approximately $40 million for a management agreement termination fee, as well as other customary transaction costs incurred by InfraREIT that would be borne by Oncor as part of the acquisition. We expect to fund our capital contribution to Oncor and to purchase the 50-percent limited-partner interest in Sharyland Holdings, LP by utilizing a portion of the proceeds received from the sales of Sempra Renewables’ assets. The capital contributions are contingent on the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the substantially simultaneous closing of the transactions contemplated by the InfraREIT Merger Agreement, but are not a condition to the transactions contemplated therein.
The transactions are subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including approval by the PUCT. In December 2018, early termination of the 30-day waiting period required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, was granted. In March 2019, we received approval from the FERC and clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. In addition, the acquisition of InfraREIT was approved by the InfraREIT stockholders on February 7, 2019. We expect that the transactions will close in mid-2019.

Sempra LNG
OnIn February 7, 2019, Sempra LNG completed the sale of its non-utility natural gas storage assets in the southeast U.S. (comprised of Mississippi Hub and Bay Gas), which we classified as held for sale at December 31, 2018, to an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners and received cash proceeds of $322 million, (subject to working capital adjustments), net of transaction costs. In January 2019, Sempra LNG completed the sale of other non-utility assets for $5 million.
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 Renewables
On February 12, 2019, Sempra Renewables entered into an agreement with American Electric Power Company, Inc. (AEP) to sell its remaining wind assets and investments. On April 22, 2019, Sempra Renewables completed the sale to AEP for $584 million in cash, subject to working capital and other customary adjustments. Upon completion of the sale, remaining nominal business activities at Sempra Renewables were subsumed into Parent and other and the Sempra Renewables segment ceased to exist.
The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and related liabilities classified as held for sale.

Sempra Renewables’ wind equity method investments totaling $290 million at March 31, 2019, which are included in the sale to AEP, were classified as Other Investments on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
OnIn January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses. We launched a formal process to sell our South American businesses and expect to complete the sale by the end of 2019. We determined that these businesses, which previously constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment, and certain activities associated with those businesses, met the held-for-sale criteria. These businesses are presented as discontinued operations, as the planned sale representssales represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. We do not plan to have significant continuing involvement in or be able to exercise significant influence on the operating or financial policies of these operations after they are sold. Accordingly, the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for these businesses have been reclassified topresented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Discontinued operations that were previously in the Sempra South American Utilities segment include our 100-percent100% interest in Chilquinta Energía in Chile, our 83.6-percent83.6% interest in Luz del Sur in Peru and our interests in two2 energy-services companies, Tecnored and Tecsur, which provide electric construction and infrastructure services to Chilquinta Energía and Luz del Sur, respectively, as well as third parties. 

On April 24, 2020, we completed the sale of our equity interests in our Peruvian businesses, including our 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur and its interest in Tecsur, to an affiliate of China Yangtze Power International (Hongkong) Co., Limited for an aggregate base purchase price of $3.59 billion, subject to post-closing adjustments.

On October 12, 2019, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with State Grid International Development Limited to sell our equity interests in our Chilean businesses, including our 100% interest in Chilquinta Energía and Tecnored and our 50% interest in Eletrans, for an aggregate base purchase price of $2.23 billion, subject to customary adjustments for working capital and changes in net indebtedness and other adjustments. Chilquinta Energía also agreed to purchase the remaining 50% interest in Eletrans from Sociedad Austral de Electricidad S.A., contingent on the sale of our Chilean businesses to State Grid International Development Limited. This acquisition by Chilquinta Energía, which we do not expect would have a significant economic impact on the sale of our Chilean businesses (including the net proceeds we receive from the sale), would result in State Grid International Development Limited acquiring 100% of Eletrans. The sale of our Chilean businesses is subject to various conditions to closing, including certain Chinese regulatory approvals, but is not subject to Chilquinta Energía purchasing the remaining 50% interest in Eletrans. We expect the sale to close in the second quarter of 2020.

NOTE 6. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES


We generally account for investments under the equity method when we have significant influence over, but do not have control of, these entities. Equity earnings and losses, both before and net of income tax, are combined and presented as Equity Earnings (Losses) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 12 for information on equity earnings and losses, both before and net of income tax, by segment. See Note 1 for information on how equity earnings and losses before income taxes are factored into the calculations of our pretax income or loss and ETR.
Our equity method investments include various domestic and foreign entities. Our foreign equity method investees are corporations whose operations are generally taxable on a stand alone basis in the countries in which they operate, and we recognize our equity in such income or loss net of investee income tax.
Oncor is a domestic partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not included in the consolidated income tax return of Sempra Energy. Rather, only our equity earnings from our investment in Oncor Holdings (a disregarded entity for tax purposes) are included in our consolidated income tax return. A tax sharing agreement with TTI, Oncor Holdings and Oncor provides for the calculation of an income tax liability substantially as if Oncor Holdings and Oncor were taxed as corporations, and requires tax payments determined on that basis. While partnerships are not subject to income taxes, in consideration of the tax sharing agreement and Oncor being subject to the provisions of U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations, Oncor recognizes amounts determined under cost-based regulatory rate-setting processes (with such costs including income taxes), as if it were taxed as a corporation. As a result, since Oncor Holdings consolidates Oncor, we recognize equity earnings from our investment in Oncor Holdings net of its recorded income tax.
We provide additional information concerning our equity method investments in Note 5 above and in Notes 5 and 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
SEMPRA TEXAS UTILITYUTILITIES
Oncor Holdings
We account for our 100-percent100% ownership interest in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor, as an equity method investment. Due to the ring-fencing measures, governance mechanisms, and commitments in effect, following the Merger, we do not have the power to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings and Oncor. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the


Annual Report for additional information related to the restrictions on our ability to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings and Oncor.
In each of the first quarter ofthree months ended March 31, 2020, Sempra Energy contributed $70 million to Oncor, and Oncor Holdings distributed to Sempra Energy $73 million in dividends.
In the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the second quarter of 2019 through May 7, 2019,, Sempra Energy contributed $56 million to Oncor, and Oncor Holdings distributed to Sempra Energy $54 million in dividends and $3 million in tax sharing payments.

TTHC indirectly owns 100% of TTI, which owns 19.75% of Oncor’s outstanding membership interests, resulting in Sempra Energy acquiring an agreement to sell its remaining wind assetsadditional indirect 0.1975% interest in Oncor and investments. At March 31, 2019, the wind investments had a carrying value of $290 million and were included in Other


Investments onbringing Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We completedindirect ownership in Oncor to approximately 80.45%.

As we discuss in “Transactions with Affiliates” in Note 5.
SEMPRA LNG
Sempra LNG capitalized $13 million1, IEnova has provided IMG JV with a Mexican peso-denominated revolving line of credit to finance construction of the natural gas marine pipeline. Due to significant fluctuation of the Mexican peso and $11 millionthe impact of interestthis fluctuation on the peso-denominated loan, equity earnings from IEnova’s investment in IMG JV were higher in the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, and 2018, respectively, relatedprimarily due to its investment$149 million of foreign currency gains in Cameron2020 compared to $10 million of foreign currency losses in 2019, which are offset by corresponding amounts included in Other (Expense) Income, Net on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

NOTE 8. 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 our asset values may fall or our liabilities may 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 ashave 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 Utilities 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 hedge)hedges), on the balance sheet (fair value hedges and regulatory(regulatory offsets), or recognized in earnings.earnings (fair value hedges). We classify cash flows from the principal settlements of cross-currency swaps that hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt 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 the future cash flows of a given revenue or expense item may vary, 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 filed with and approved by the CPUC. 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 and Sempra RenewablesLNG 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 Energy-Related Businesses Cost of Sales 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 distribution operations. These derivatives, which are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and recovered in rates, are recognized in Cost of Natural Gas on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
From time to time, our various businesses, including the California Utilities, may use other energy derivatives to hedge exposures such as the price of vehicle fuel and GHG allowances.
The following table summarizes net energy derivative volumes.

In addition to the amounts noted above, we use commodity derivatives to manage risks associated with the physical locations of contractual obligations and assets, such as natural gas purchases and sales.
INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES
We are exposed to interest rates primarily as a result of our current and expected use of financing. The California Utilities, as well as Sempra Energy 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. Separately, Otay Mesa VIE has entered into interest rate swap agreements, designated as cash flow hedges, to moderate its exposure to interest rate changes.


The following table presents the net notional amounts of our interest rate derivatives, excluding JVs.

Includes Otay Mesa VIE. All of SDG&E’s interest rate derivatives relate to Otay Mesa VIE. In December 2018, OMEC LLC entered into new floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $159 million effective April 30, 2019 through October 31, 2019, and a swaption with a notional amount of $142 million effective October 31, 2019 through October 31, 2023.
FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES
We 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 variable interest rates for U.S. fixed interest rates. From time to time, Sempra Mexico 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 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.
We also utilize foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposure to fluctuations in the Peruvian sol and Chilean peso related to the sale of our operations in Peru and Chile, respectively.
The following table presents the net notional amounts of our foreign currency derivatives, excluding JVs.

Amounts include Otay Mesa VIE. All of SDG&E’s interest rate derivative activity relates to Otay Mesa VIE. On August 14, 2019, Otay Mesa Energy Center LLC paid in full its variable-rate loan and terminated its interest rate swaps.

For Sempra Energy Consolidated, we expect that net gainslosses of $5$69 million, which are net of income tax expense,benefit, that are currently recorded in AOCI (including $1 million of losses in NCI related to Otay Mesa VIE at SDG&E) 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 March 31, 20192020 is approximately 1315 years and less than one year for Sempra Energy Consolidated and SDG&E, respectively.Consolidated. The maximum remaining term for which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at our equity method investees is 1520 years.

CONTINGENT FEATURES
For Sempra Energy Consolidated, 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 Energy Consolidated, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position at March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 was $14$5 million and $16$21 million, respectively. For SoCalGas, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position at both March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 was $4 million and $5 million, respectively.million. At March 31, 2019,2020, if the credit ratings of Sempra Energy or SoCalGas were reduced below investment grade, $15$5 million and $4 million, respectively, 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 9. 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 March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019. 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 valuevalued 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, 2018.2019.
The fair value of commodity derivative assets and liabilities is presented in accordance with our netting policy, as we discuss in Note 8 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 (other than a $7$5 million investment at MarchDecember 31, 2019, measured at net asset value):
Nuclear decommissioning trusts reflect the assets of SDG&E’s NDT, excluding cash balances. A third partythird-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 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 March 31, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019.

Excludes the effect of the contractual ability to settle contracts under master netting agreements.

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 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 MWhPrice per MWhMedian price per MWh
2020$(3.77)to$6.03
$(1.58)
2019$(8.57)to$35.21
$(2.94)(8.57)to35.21
(2.94)
2018(7.25)to11.99
0.09



The impact associated with discounting is negligible. 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 higher (lower) fair value measurement. We summarize CRR volumes in Note 8.
Long-term, fixed-price electricity positions that are valued using significant unobservable data are classified as Level 3 because the contract terms relate to a delivery location or tenor for which observable market rate information is not available. The fair value of the net electricity positions classified as Level 3 is derived from a discounted cash flow model using market electricity forward price inputs. The range and weighted-average price of these inputs at March 31 were as follows:
LONG-TERM, FIXED-PRICE ELECTRICITY POSITIONS PRICE INPUTSLONG-TERM, FIXED-PRICE ELECTRICITY POSITIONS PRICE INPUTS  LONG-TERM, FIXED-PRICE ELECTRICITY POSITIONS PRICE INPUTS

A significant increase or decrease(decrease) in market electricity forward prices would result in a significantly higher or lower(lower) fair value, respectively.value. We summarize long-term, fixed-price electricity position volumes in Note 8.
Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs and long-term 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.


Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values of certain of our financial instruments (cash, accounts and notes receivable, short-term amounts due to/from unconsolidated affiliates, 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 10. SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
We provide below updates to ongoing matters related to SONGS, a nuclear generating facility near San Clemente, California that ceased operations in June 2013, and in which SDG&E has a 20-percent20% 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. We expect the majority of the decommissioning work to take 10 years after receipt of the required permits. The coastal development permit was issued in October 2019. The Samuel Lawrence Foundation filed a writ petition under the California Coastal Act in LA Superior Court in December 2019 seeking to invalidate the permit and to obtain injunctive relief to stop decommissioning work. Major decommissioning work began in 2020. 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 majority of the dismantlement work is expected to take 10 years.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, as we discuss below. SDG&E is responsible for approximately 20 percent20% of the total contract price.
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. 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. SDG&E classifies debt and equity securities held in the NDT as available-for-sale. 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 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 March 2020, SDG&E has received authorization from the CPUC to access NDT funds of up to $455$109 million for 2013 through 2019 (2019 forecasted) SONGS decommissioningforecasted 2020 costs. This includes up to $93 million authorized by the CPUC in January 2019 to be withdrawn from the NDT for forecasted 2019 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.finalized. SDG&E is awaiting the adoption of, or additional refinement to, the proposed regulations before determining whether the proposed regulations will allow SDG&E to access the NDT funds for reimbursement or payment of the spent fuel management costs incurred in 2017 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 below. The IRS held public hearings on the proposed regulations in October 2017. It is unclear when clarification of the proposed regulations might be provided or when the proposed regulations will be finalized.

That amount includes the cost to decommission Units 2 and 3, and the remaining cost to complete the decommissioning of Unit 1, which is substantially complete. The ARO for all three units is based on a cost study prepared in 2017 that is pending CPUC approval. The ARO for Units 2 and 3 reflects the acceleration of the start of decommissioning of these units as a result of the early closure of the plant. SDG&E’s share of total decommissioning costs in 20182020 dollars is approximately $810$860 million.
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NUCLEAR FUEL DISPOSAL


Spent nuclear fuel from SONGS is currently stored on-site in an ISFSI licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or temporarily in spent fuel pools. In October 2015, the California Coastal Commission approved Edison’s application forto expand the proposed expansion of the ISFSI at SONGS.ISFSI. The ISFSI expansion began construction in 2016 and the transfer of the spent nuclear fuel from Units 2 and 3 to the ISFSI began in 2018. Edison suspended this transfer on August 3, 2018 due to an incident that occurred when a spent fuel canister was getting loaded into the ISFSI. The incident did not result in any harm to the public or workers and the canister was subsequently safely loaded into the IFSFI. Edison has not resumed spent fuel transfer operations at SONGS, but has publicly stated that it will resume operations once it is satisfied all corrective actions are in place and proven effective and the NRC has completed its on-site inspection activities. The ISFSI will 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. Until then, SONGS owners are responsible for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel at SONGS.
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. In November 2019, Edison filed a claim for spent fuel management costs in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims for the time period from January 2017 through July 2018. It is unclear when Edison will pursue litigation claims for spent fuel management costs incurred on or after August 1, 2018. 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. However, it is unclear whether Edison will enter into a new settlement with the DOE or pursue litigation claims for spent fuel management costs incurred on or after January 1, 2017.
NUCLEAR INSURANCE
SDG&E and the other owners of SONGS have insurance to cover claims from nuclear liability incidents arising at SONGS. Currently, 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 an additional $110 million of coverage. If a nuclear liability loss occurs at SONGS and exceeds the $450 million insurance limit, this additional coverage would be available to provide a total of $560 million in coverage limits per incident.
TheAs a result of updated coverage assessments, the SONGS owners including SDG&E, also maintainhave nuclear property damage insurance at $1.5 billion, with a $500of $130 million, property damage sublimit on the ISFSI, which exceeds the minimum federal requirements of $1.06 billion.$50 million. 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$3.5 million of retrospective premiums based on overall member claims.


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) of $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.
     
NOTE 11. 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 the costs and effects of resolving these matters. Accordingly, actual costs incurred may differ materially from amounts accrued, may exceed applicable insurance coverage and could materially adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Unless otherwise indicated, we are unable to estimate reasonably possible losses in excess of any amounts accrued.
At March 31, 2019,2020, loss contingency accruals for legal matters, including associated legal fees, that are probable and estimable were $104$442 million for Sempra Energy Consolidated, including $54$297 million for SoCalGas. Amounts for Sempra Energy Consolidated and SoCalGas include $53$286 million for matters related to the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility gas leak, which we discuss below.
SDG&E
2007 Wildfire Litigation and Net Cost Recovery Status
SDG&E has resolved all civil litigation associated with three wildfires that occurred in October 2007.
As a result of a CPUC decision denying SDG&E’s request to recover wildfire costs, SDG&E wrote off the wildfire regulatory asset, resulting in a charge of $351 million ($208 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 2017. SDG&E continues to vigorously pursue recovery of these costs, which were incurred through settling claims brought under the doctrine of inverse condemnation. SDG&E applied to the CPUC for rehearing of its decision on January 2, 2018. On July 12, 2018, the CPUC adopted a decision denying the rehearing requests filed by SDG&E and other parties. On August 3, 2018, SDG&E filed an appeal with the California Court of Appeal seeking to reverse the CPUC’s decision. The filing also asked the court to direct the CPUC to award SDG&E recovery for payments made to settle inverse condemnation claims and limit any reasonableness review to the amounts of those payments. On November 13, 2018, the California Court of Appeal denied SDG&E’s petition. On November 26, 2018, SDG&E filed an appeal with the California Supreme Court seeking to reverse the decisions of the CPUC and the California Court of Appeal. In January 2019, the California Supreme Court denied SDG&E’s petition. On April 30, 2019, SDG&E filed an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking to reverse the CPUC’s decision.
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 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. 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. SoCalGas calculated that approximately 4.62 Bcf of natural gas was released from the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility as a result of the Leak.
As discussed in “Cost Estimates and Accounting Impact” below, SoCalGas incurred significant costs for temporary relocation, to control the well and to stop the Leak, as well as to purchase natural gas to replace that lost through the Leak. As discussed in “Local Community Mitigation Efforts” below, during the Leak and in the months following the sealing of the well, SoCalGas provided support to nearby residents who wished to temporarily relocate as a result of the Leak. These programs ended in July 2016.
SoCalGas has additionally incurred significant costs to defend against and, in certain cases settle, civil and criminal litigation arising from the Leak; to pay the costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak including the costs for an independent


third party to conduct a root cause analysis to investigate the technical cause of the Leak; to respond to various government and agency investigations regarding the Leak, and to comply with increased regulation imposed as a result of the Leak. As further described below in “Civil and Criminal Litigation,Litigation” and “Regulatory Proceedings,“Regulatory Proceedings”numerous lawsuits, investigations and “Governmental Investigations and Orders and Additional Regulation,” these activities are ongoing and SoCalGas anticipates that it will incur additional suchregulatory proceedings have been


initiated in response to the Leak, resulting in significant costs, which may also be significant.
Local Community Mitigation Efforts. Pursuant to a directive by the DPH and orders by the LA Superior Court, SoCalGas provided temporary relocation support to residents in the nearby community who requested it. 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 those residents to return home.
In May 2016, the DPH also issued a directive that SoCalGas additionally professionally clean the homes of all residents located within the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council boundary, or who participated in the relocation program, or whotogether with other Leak-related costs are located within a five-mile radius of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and experienced symptoms from the Leak (the Directive). SoCalGas disputed the Directive as invalid and unenforceable, and filed a petition for writ of mandate to set aside the Directive. The Directive was settled and SoCalGas’ petition was dismissed pursuant to the Government Plaintiffs Settlement that we discussdiscussed below in “Civil“Cost Estimates, Accounting Impact and Criminal Litigation.Insurance.
The costs incurred to remediate and stop the Leak and to mitigate local community impacts have been significant and may increase, and we may be subject to potentially significant damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, penalties and other costs. If any of these costs are not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), if there are significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Civil and Criminal Litigation. As of May 2, 2019, 394April 29, 2020, 393 lawsuits, including approximately 48,50036,000 plaintiffs, are pending against SoCalGas related to the Leak, some of which have also named Sempra Energy. All these 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 Superior Court for pretrial management (the Coordination Proceeding).management.
Pursuant to the Coordination Proceeding, inIn November 2017, in the coordinated proceeding, individuals and business entities asserting tort and Proposition 65 claims filed a Third Amended Consolidated Master Case Complaint for Individual Actions, through which their separate lawsuits will be managed for pretrial purposes. The consolidated complaint asserts causes of action for negligence, negligence per se, private and public nuisance (continuing and permanent), trespass, inverse condemnation, strict liability, negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraudulent concealment, loss of consortium, wrongful death and violations of Proposition 65 against SoCalGas, with certain causes of action also naming Sempra Energy. The consolidated complaint seeks compensatory and punitive damages for personal injuries, lost wages and/or lost profits, property damage and diminution in property value, injunctive relief, costs of future medical monitoring, civil penalties (including penalties associated with Proposition 65 claims alleging violation of requirements for warning about certain chemical exposures), and attorneys’ fees. SoCalGas is engaged in settlement discussions in connection with these actions and has recorded a related accrual of $277 million, inclusive of estimated legal costs, in Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The initial trial previously scheduled for June 2020 for a small number of randomly selected individual plaintiffs has been postponed, with a new trial date to be determined by the court.
In January 2017, pursuant to the Coordination Proceeding, two2 consolidated class action complaints were filed against SoCalGas and Sempra Energy, one1 on behalf of a putative class of persons and businesses who own or lease real property within a five-mile radius 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 assertThe Property Class Action asserts claims for strict liability for ultra-hazardous activities, negligence, andnegligence per se, violation of the California Unfair Competition Law. The Property Class Action also asserts claims for negligence per se,Law, 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.violation of the California Unfair Competition Law. Both complaints seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. In December 2017, the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District ruled that the purely economic damages alleged in the Business Class Action are not recoverable under the law. In February 2018, the California Supreme Court granted a petition filed by the plaintiffs to review that ruling, and oral argument on the appeal was heard in March 2019.
Complaints byThree property developers were filed complaints in 2017July and October of 2018 against SoCalGas and Sempra Energy alleging causes of action for strict liability, negligence per se, negligence, continuing nuisance, permanent nuisance and violation of the California Unfair Competition Law, as well as claims for negligence against certain directors of SoCalGas. The complaints seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. These claims are also joined in the Coordination Proceeding.
In addition to the lawsuits described above, in October 2018 and January 2019, complaints were filed on behalf of 51 plaintiffs who are firefighters stationed near the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility andwho allege they were injured by exposure to chemicals released during the Leak. The complaints against SoCalGas and Sempra Energy assert causes of actions for negligence,


negligence per se, private and public nuisance (continuing and permanent), trespass, inverse condemnation, strict liability, negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraudulent concealment and loss of consortium. The complaints seek compensatory and punitive damages for personal injuries, lost wages and/or lost profits, property damage and diminution in property value, and attorney’s fees. These claims are also joined in the Coordination Proceeding.
In addition, a federal securities class action alleging violation of the federal securities laws has been filed against Sempra Energy and certain of its officers and certain of its directors in the SDCA. In March 2018, the court dismissed the action with prejudice, and in December 2018 the court denied the plaintiffs’ request for reconsideration of that order. The plaintiffs have filed a notice of appeal of the dismissal.
FiveNaN 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, fourall of which were joined in aan Amended Consolidated Shareholder Derivative Complaint in August 2017.
Three actions by public entities were filed in February 2020. A fifth shareholder derivative action filed in March 2017 was dismissed in November 2019 on the Coordination Proceeding, including complaints bygrounds that the County of Los Angeles, on behalf of itself andplaintiff failed to adequately plead his claims, but the peoplecourt gave leave for him to amend the complaint to cure the defects.
In addition, a federal securities class action alleging violation of the Statefederal securities laws was filed against Sempra Energy and certain of California,its officers in July 2017 in the California Attorney General, acting in an independent capacity and on behalfU.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. In March 2018, the people ofcourt dismissed the State of California andaction with prejudice. The plaintiffs have appealed the CARB, and the Los Angeles City Attorney alleging public nuisance, unfair competition, and violations of California Health and Safety Code provisions regarding discharge of contaminants, among other things, which sought injunctive relief, abatement, civil penalties and damages.
Additionally, the County of Los Angeles filed a petition 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, alleging that they failed to comply with the provisions of SB 380 in authorizing the resumption of injections of natural gas at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, and seeking 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 and attorneys’ fees.dismissal.
In August 2018, SoCalGas entered intoFebruary 2019, the LA Superior Court approved a settlement agreement withbetween SoCalGas and the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, the County of Los Angeles, the California Office of the Attorney General and CARB (collectively, the Government Plaintiffs)of 3 actions filed by these entities under which SoCalGas made payments and agreed to settle the three public entity actions and the Directive for payments andprovide funding for environmental projects totaling $120 million, including $21 million in civil penalties, (the Government Plaintiffs Settlement). Under the settlement agreement,as well as other safety-related commitments.
In September 2016, SoCalGas also agreed to continue its fence-line methane monitoring program, establishsettled a safety committee and hire an independent ombudsman to monitor and report on the safety at the facility. This settlement also fully resolves SoCalGas’ commitment to mitigate the actual natural gas released during the Leak and fulfills the requirements of the Governor’s Order, described below, for SoCalGas to pay for a mitigation program developed by CARB. The Government Plaintiffs Settlement was approved by the LA Superior Courtmisdemeanor criminal complaint filed in February 2019.
Separately, in February 2016 by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed a misdemeanor criminal complaint against SoCalGas, seeking penalties and other remedies for alleged failurepleading no contest to a charge that it failed 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 $6 million, reimbursements 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 LA Superior Court approved the settlement and entered judgment on the notice charge. Under the settlement, SoCalGas paid a $75,000 fine, $233,500 in penalties, and $246,673 to


reimburse costs incurred by Los Angeles County Fire Department’s Health and Hazardous Materials Division, as well as completed operational commitments estimated to cost approximately $6 million. Certain individuals who objectobjected to the settlement have filed an appealpetitioned the Court of Appeal to vacate the judgment, contending they should be granted restitution.
In July 2019, the Court of Appeal denied the petition in part, but remanded the matter to the trial court to give the petitioners an opportunity to prove damages stemming from only the three-day delay in reporting the Leak. Following the hearing, the trial court denied restitution. The costs of defending against these civil and criminal lawsuits, and any damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, penalties and other costs, if awarded or imposed, as well asalleged victims have asked the costs of mitigating the actual natural gas released, could be significant. If any of these costs are not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), if there are significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subjecttrial court to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.reconsider its order.
Regulatory Proceedings. In January 2016, CalGEM and the CPUC directed an independent analysis of the technical root cause of the Leak to be conducted by Blade. In May 2019, Blade released its report, which concluded that the Leak was caused by a failure of the production casing of the well due to corrosion and that attempts to stop the Leak were not effectively conducted, but did not identify any instances of non-compliance by SoCalGas. Blade concluded that SoCalGas’ compliance activities conducted prior to the Leak did not find indications of a casing integrity issue. Blade opined, however, that there were measures, none of which were required by gas storage regulations at the time, that could have been taken to aid in the early identification of corrosion and that, in Blade’s opinion, would have prevented or mitigated the Leak. The report also identified well safety practices and regulations that have since been adopted by CalGEM and implemented by SoCalGas, which address most of the root cause of the Leak identified during Blade’s investigation.
In June 2019, the CPUC opened an OII to consider penalties against SoCalGas for the Leak, which it later bifurcated into two phases. The first phase will consider whether SoCalGas violated California Public Utilities Code Section 451 or other laws, CPUC orders or decisions, rules or requirements, whether SoCalGas engaged in unreasonable and/or imprudent practices with respect to its operation and maintenance of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility or its related record-keeping practices, whether SoCalGas cooperated sufficiently with the Safety Enforcement Division (SED) and Blade during the pre-formal investigation, and whether any of the mitigation proposed by Blade should be implemented to the extent not already done. In November 2019, SED, based largely on the Blade report, alleged a total of 330 violations, asserting that SoCalGas violated California Public Utilities Code Section 451 and failed to cooperate in the investigation and to keep proper records. Hearings in the first phase of the OII have been postponed until further notice. The second phase will consider whether SoCalGas should be sanctioned for the Leak and what penalties, if any, should be imposed for any violations proven in the first phase, as well as determine the amounts 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 a January 2016 emergency proclamation, the Governor ordered the CPUC to ensure that SoCalGas covers costs related to the Leak and its response, while protecting ratepayers. In addition, CalGEM is investigating the Leak.
In February 2017, the CPUC opened a proceeding pursuant to SB 380 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 CPUC indicated it intends to conduct the proceeding 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 using those analyses and scenarios to evaluate the impacts of reducing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility.
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. In January 2019, the CPUC concluded Phase 1The first phase of the proceeding by establishingestablished a framework for the hydraulic, production cost and economic modeling assumptions for the potential reduction in usage or elimination of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. Phase 2 of the proceeding, which will evaluate the impacts of reducing or eliminating the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility using the established framework and models, began in the first quarter of 2019. The CPUC has indicated that it expects to issue its report for Phase 2 in 2020.
Governmental Investigations and Orders and Additional Regulation. Various governmental agencies, including DOE, 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. In January 2016, DOGGR andDecember 2019, the CPUC selected Blade Energy Partners to conduct, under their supervision, an independent analysisadded a third phase of the technical root cause ofproceeding to consider alternative means for meeting or avoiding the Leak, to be funded by SoCalGas. The independent root cause analysis is ongoing, and its timing is underdemand for the control of Blade Energy Partners, DOGGR andfacility’s services if it were eliminated in either 2027 or 2045.
If the CPUC. We expect the report will be issued in the second quarter of 2019.
In January 2016, the Governor of the State of California proclaimed a state of emergency in Los Angeles County due to the Leak. The proclamation ordered various actions with respect to the Leak, including: (1) applicable agencies must convene an independent panel of scientific and medical experts to review public health concerns stemming from the Leak and evaluate whether additional measures are needed to protect public health; (2) the CPUC must ensure that SoCalGas covers costs related to the Leak and its response while protecting ratepayers; (3) CARB must develop a program, to be funded by SoCalGas, to fully mitigate the Leak’s emissions of methane; and (4) DOGGR, CPUC, CARB and the CEC must submit to the Governor’s Office a report that assesses the long-term viability ofAliso Canyon natural gas storage facilitiesfacility were to be permanently closed, or if future cash flows from its operation were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, it could result in California.
In March 2016, CARB issued its “Aliso Canyon Methane Leak Climate Impacts Mitigation Program” recommending a program to fully mitigate the emissions from the Leak. In October 2016, CARB issued a report concluding that SoCalGas should mitigate 109,000 metric tons of methane to fully mitigate the GHG impactsan impairment of the Leak. The Government Plaintiffs Settlement described above satisfiesfacility and significantly higher than expected operating costs and/or additional capital expenditures, and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized. At March 31, 2020, the mitigation requirementAliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of the Governor’s emergency proclamation.$771 million. Any significant impairment of this asset, or higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas that may not be recoverable in customer rates, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Cost Estimates, Accounting Impact and Accounting Impact.Insurance. At March 31, 2019, SoCalGas estimates itshas incurred significant costs related to the Leak are $1,071 million (the cost estimate), which includes $1,043 million of costs recovered or probable of recovery from insurance. Approximately 53 percent of the cost estimate is for the temporary relocation program (including cleaning costsof community residents; to control the well and certain labor costs). The remaining portion ofstop the cost estimate includes costs incurredLeak; to mitigate the natural gas released; to purchase natural gas to replace what was lost through the Leak; to defend against and, in certain cases, settle, civil and criminal litigation arising from the Leak; to pay the costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak, including the costs for an independent third partyBlade to conduct athe root cause analysis effortsdescribed above; to controlrespond to various government and agency investigations regarding the well,Leak; and to mitigatecomply with increased regulation imposed as a result of the actual natural gas released,Leak. At March 31, 2020, SoCalGas estimates the costs related to the Leak are $1,408 million (the cost estimate), which includes the $1,277 million of replacing the lost gas, and other costs as well as the estimated costs to settle certain actions. SoCalGas adjusts therecovered or probable of recovery from insurance. This cost estimate may increase significantly as additionalmore information becomes available. A substantial portion of the cost estimate has been


paid, and $60$284 million is accrued as Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $6 million is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other as of March 31, 20192020 on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Except for the amounts paid or estimated to settle certain actions, as described in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” above, the cost estimate does not include all litigation or regulatory costs to the extent it is not possible to predict at this time the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the costs to defend or resolve the actions or the amount of damages, restitution, or civil, administrative or criminal fines, sanctions, penalties or other costs or remedies that may be imposed or incurred. The cost estimate also does not include certain other costs incurred by Sempra Energy associated with defending against shareholder derivative lawsuits and other potential costs that we currently do not anticipate incurring or that we cannot reasonably estimate. These costs not included in the cost estimate could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
We have received insurance payments for many of the costs included in the cost estimate, including temporary relocation and associated processing costs, control-of-well expenses, costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak, certain legal costs and lost gas. We intend to pursue the full extent of our insurance coverage for the costs we have incurred. Other than directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, after taking into consideration the additional accrual related to litigation matters described above, we have effectively exhausted all of our insurance in this matter, except as to certain defense costs we may incur in the future, including those related to the shareholder derivative lawsuits described above. 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. If we are not able to secure additional insurance recovery for all or a substantial portion of these costs, if any costs we have recorded as an insurance receivable are not collected, if there are delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts, which could be significant, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
As of March 31, 2019,2020, we recorded the expected recovery of the cost estimate related to the Leak of $477$511 million as Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is netexclusive of insurance retentions and $566$766 million of insurance proceeds we received through March 31, 2019. The Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs and insurance proceeds received to date relate to portions of the cost estimate described above, including temporary relocation and associated processing costs, control-of-well expenses, costs of the government-ordered response for an independent third party to conduct a root cause analysis, the costs to settle certain claims as described above, the estimated costs to perform obligations pursuant to settlement of some of those claims, legal costs and lost gas.2020. If we were to conclude that this receivable or a portion of it is 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.
As described in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” above, the actions seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, penalties and other costs, which, except for the amounts paid or estimated to settle certain actions as described above, are not included in the cost estimate as it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the amount of damages, restitution or civil, administrative or criminal fines, penalties or other costs that may be imposed. The recorded amounts above also do not include future legal costs necessary to defend litigation, and other potential costs that we currently do not anticipate incurring or that we cannot reasonably estimate. Furthermore, the cost estimate does not include certain other costs incurred by Sempra Energy associated with defending against shareholder derivative lawsuits.


Insurance. Excluding directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, we have at least four kinds of insurance policies that together we estimate 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 and associated processing costs (including cleaning costs and certain labor costs), costs to address the Leak and stop or reduce emissions, costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak including the costs for an independent third party to conduct a root cause analysis, the value of lost 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 portions of the costs described above, including temporary relocation and associated processing costs, control-of-well expenses, legal costs and lost gas. 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 additional insurance recovery for these costs, 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.
At March 31, 2019, SoCalGas’ estimate of costs related to the Leak of $1,071 million include $1,043 million of costs recovered or probable of recovery from insurance. This estimate may rise significantly as more information becomes available. Costs not included in the $1,071 million cost estimate could be material. If any costs are not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), if there are significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts 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 capacity of 86 Bcf (representing 63 percent of SoCalGas’ natural gas storage capacity), is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important element of SoCalGas’ delivery system. As a result of the Leak, SoCalGas suspended injection of natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility beginning in October 2015, and following a comprehensive safety review and authorization by DOGGR and the CPUC’s Executive Director, resumed limited injection operations in July 2017.
During the suspension period, SoCalGas advised the California ISO, CEC, CPUC and PHMSA of its concerns that the inability to inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility posed a risk to energy reliability in Southern California. Following the resumption of injection operations, the CPUC has issued a series of directives to SoCalGas specifying the range of working gas to be maintained in the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility to help ensure safety and reliability for the region and just and reasonable rates in California, the most recent of which, issued in July 2018, directed SoCalGas to maintain up to 34 Bcf of working gas. Limited withdrawals of natural gas from the facility were made in 2018 and 2019 to augment natural gas supplies during critical demand periods.
If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be 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 March 31, 2019, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $741 million. 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.

Property Disputes and Permit Challenges
Energía Costa Azul. Azul
IEnova has been engaged in a long-running land dispute relating to property adjacent to its ECA LNG terminalRegasification facility near Ensenada, Mexico. A claimant to the adjacent property filed complaints in the federal Agrarian Court challenging the refusal of 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 and cause it to be registered. Both SEDATU and IEnova challenged the ruling, due to lack of notification of the underlying process. Both challenges are pending to be resolved byIn May 2019, a Federal Courtfederal court in Mexico.Mexico reversed the ruling and ordered a retrial. IEnova expects additional proceedings regarding the claims.


Several administrative challenges are pending in Mexico before the Mexican environmental protection agency and the Federal Tax and Administrative Courts seeking revocation of the environmental impact authorization issued to the ECA LNG Regasification 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.
Additionally, in August 2018, a claimant filed a challenge in the federal district court in Ensenada, Baja California in relation to the environmental and social impact permits issued to ECA LNG JV for the potential liquefaction-export project in September 2017 and December 2017, respectively, to allow natural gas liquefaction activities at the ECA LNG terminal.Regasification facility. The court issued a provisional injunction onin September 28, 2018 and maintained that provisional injunction at an April 11, 2019 hearing. The provisional injunction has uncertain application and requires clarification by the court, which is being pursued through additional proceedings that are pending before the court. In December 2018, the relevant Mexican regulators approved modifications to the environmental permit that facilitate the development of the proposed natural gas liquefaction facility at theby ECA LNG terminalJV in two phases. In May 2019, the court canceled the provisional injunction. The claimant appealed the court’s decision but was not successful. The claimant’s underlying challenge to the permits remain pending.
Cases involving two parcels of real property have been filed against ECA.the ECA LNG Regasification facility. In one case, filed in the federal Agrarian Court in 2006, the plaintiffs seek to annul the recorded property title for a parcel on which the ECA LNG terminalRegasification facility is situated and to obtain possession of a different parcel that allegedly sits in the same place. Another civil


complaint filed in the state court was served in April 2012 seeking to invalidate the contract by which the ECA LNG Regasification facility purchased another of the terminal parcels, on the grounds the purchase price was unfair; the plaintiff filed a second complaint in 2013 in the federal Agrarian Court seeking an order that SEDATU issue title to her. In January 2016, the federal Agrarian Court ruled against the plaintiff, and theplaintiff. The plaintiff appealed the ruling.ruling and a partial retrial was ordered. We are awaiting a new decision from the Agrarian Court. In May 2018, the state court dismissed the civil complaint, and the plaintiff has appealed.appealed but was not successful; however, the plaintiff can file a final federal appeal. IEnova expects further proceedings on these two matters.
An unfavorable final decision on these property disputes or permit challenges could materially and adversely affect our existing natural gas gasification operations and our planned natural gas liquefaction projects currently in development at ECA.the ECA LNG Regasification facility and potential ECA LNG JV liquefaction-export project.
Guaymas-El Oro Segment of the Sonora Pipeline.Pipeline
IEnova’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 a legal challenge in Mexican Federal Courtfederal court demanding the right to withhold consent for the project, the stoppage of work in the Yaqui territory and damages. In 2016, the judge granted a suspension order that prohibited the construction of such segment through the Bácum community territory. Because the pipeline does not pass through the Bácum community, IEnova did not believe the 2016 suspension order prohibited construction in the remainder of the Yaqui territory. Construction of the Guaymas-El Oro segment was completed, and commercial operations began in May 2017.
Following the start of commercial operations of the Guaymas-El Oro segment, an appellate court ruled that the scope of the 2016 suspension order encompassed the wider Yaqui territory. The legal challenge remains pending. IEnova has subsequently reported damage to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline in the Yaqui territory that has made that section inoperable since August 23, 2017 and, as a result, IEnova declared a force majeure event. In 2017, an appellate court ruled that the scope of the 2016 suspension order encompassed the wider Yaqui territory, which has prevented IEnova will continuefrom making repairs to exerciseput the pipeline back in service. In July 2019, a federal district court ruled in favor of IEnova 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 IEnova from repairing the damage to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline in the Yaqui territory to remain in place until the appeals process is exhausted.
IEnova exercised its rights under the contract, which includesincluded seeking continued force majeure payments for the two-year period such force majeure payments arewere required to be made, which endsended on August 22, 2019.
In July 2019, the CFE filed a request for arbitration generally to nullify certain contract terms that provide for fixed capacity payments in instances of force majeure and just consideration followingmade a demand for substantial damages in connection with the expirationforce majeure event. In September 2019, the arbitration process ended when IEnova and the CFE reached an agreement to restart natural gas transportation service on the earlier of completion of repair of the two-year perioddamaged pipeline or January 15, 2020, and to modify the tariff structure and extend the term of the contract by 10 years. In January 2020, IEnova and the CFE agreed to extend the January 15, 2020 new service start date to May 15, 2020. 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 repaired. If the pipeline is not repaired by May 15, 2020 and the parties do not agree on a new service start date, IEnova retains the right to terminate the contract and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profits. The parties are currently discussing a new service start date in which force majeure payments are made.the event the pipeline is not repaired by May 15, 2020, but there can be no assurance that the parties will have agreed on a new service start date if the pipeline is not repaired by that date.
If IEnova is unable to make such repairs and resume operations in the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline within this time frame or if IEnova terminates the contract and is unable to obtain recovery, there may be a material adverse impact on Sempra Energy’s results of operations and cash flows and our ability to recover the carrying value of our investment. The Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment of the Sonora pipeline remains in full operation.operation and is not impacted by these developments.
Other Litigation
Sempra Energy holds an NCIequity method investment in RBS Sempra Commodities, a limited liability partnership in the process of being liquidated. RBS, now NatWest Markets plc, formerly RBS, our partner in the JV, paid an assessment of £86 million (approximately $138 million in U.S. dollars) 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 JPJ.P. Morgan Chase & Co. 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. Trial on the matter, which could include the assessment of a penalty of up to 100% of the claimed amount, has not been scheduled.scheduled between November 2, 2020 and December 11, 2020.
DuringIn 2015, liquidators filed a claim in the High Court of Justice against RBS and Mercuria Energy Europe 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. 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 VAT liability they were unable to pay, and that the Defendants are liable to provide for equitable compensation due to dishonest assistance and for compensation under the U.K. Insolvency Act of 1986. Trial on the matter was held in June and July of 2018, at2018. On March 10, 2020, the closeHigh Court of which


Justice rendered its judgment mostly in favor of the Liquidating Companies asserted that the Defendants were liable to the Liquidating Companies in the amountand awarded damages of £71.5approximately £45 million (approximately $93$56 million in U.S. dollars at March 31, 2019) for dishonest assistance2020), plus costs and tointerest, which will be determined after further proceedings.
Although the extent that claim is unsuccessful, to the liquidators in the same amount under the U.K. Insolvency Actfinal outcome of 1986. Ifboth the High Court of Justice finds the Defendants liable, it will determine the amount. JP Morgan has notified us that Mercuria Energy Group, Ltd. has sought indemnity for the claim,case and JP Morgan has in turn sought indemnity from Sempra Energy and RBS.
While the ultimate outcomeFirst-Tier Tribunal case remains uncertain, we continue to evaluate the likelihood of recovery ofrecorded $100 million in equity losses from our investment. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2018, we fully impaired our remaining $65 million equity method investment in RBS Sempra Commodities.Commodities in Equity Earnings on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the three months ended March 31, 2020, which represents an estimate of our obligations to settle pending tax matters and related legal costs.
Certain EFH subsidiaries that we acquired as part of the Mergermerger of EFH with an indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy are defendants in personal injury lawsuits brought in state courts throughout the U.S. As of May 2, 2019, 114April 29, 2020, 275 such lawsuits are pending and 1,685with 182 such lawsuits havehaving been filed but not served. These cases allege illness or death as a result of exposure 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 seek compensatory and punitive damages. Additionally, in connection with the EFH bankruptcy proceeding, approximately 28,000 proofs of claim were filed on behalf of persons who allege exposure to asbestos under similar circumstances and assert the right to file such lawsuits in the future. We anticipate additional lawsuits will be filed. None of these claims or lawsuits were discharged in the EFH bankruptcy proceeding. The costs to defend or resolve these lawsuits and the amount of damages that may be imposed or incurred could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
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.cases.
LEASES
We discuss leases further in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
A lease exists when a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception of the contract.
Some of our lease agreements contain nonlease components, which represent activities that transfer a separate good or service to the lessee. As the lessee for both operating and finance leases, we have elected to combine lease components and nonlease components for all existing classes of underlying assets as a single lease component for real estate, fleet vehicles, power generating facilities, and pipelines, whereby fixed or in-substance fixed payments allocable to the nonlease component are accounted for as part of the related lease liability and ROU asset. As the lessor, we have elected to combine lease and nonlease components as a single lease component for real estate and power generating facilities if the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease components and nonlease components are the same and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately, we combine the lease components and nonlease components.separately.
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 and peaker plant facilities.
Some of our leases include options to extend the lease terms for up to 25 years, while others include options to terminate the leases within one year. Our lease liabilities and ROU assets are based on lease terms that may include such options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
Certain of our contracts are short-term leases, which have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement. We do not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset arising from short-term leases for all existing classes of underlying assets. In such cases, we recognize short-term lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our short-term lease costs for the period reasonably reflect our short-term lease commitments.
Certain of our leases contain escalation clauses requiring annual increases in rent ranging from 1 percent to 5 percent or based on the Consumer Price Index. The rentals payable under these leases may increase by a fixed amount each year or by a percentage of a base year. Variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate are included in the initial measurement of our lease liability and ROU asset based on the index or rate at lease commencement and are not remeasured because of changes to the index or rate. Rather, changes to the index or rate are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
Similarly, PPAs for the purchase of renewable energy at SDG&E require lease payments based on a stated rate per MWh produced by the facilities, and we are required to purchase substantially all the output from the facilities. SDG&E is required to pay additional amounts for capacity charges and actual purchases of energy that exceed the minimum energy commitments. Under these contracts, we do not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset for leases for which there are no fixed lease payments. Rather, these variable lease payments are recognized separately as variable lease costs.


As of the lease commencement date, we recognize a lease liabilityWe provide supplemental noncash information for our obligation to make future lease payments, which we initially measure at present value using our incremental borrowing rate at the date of lease commencement, unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. We determine our incremental borrowing rate based on the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. We also record an ROU asset for our right to use the underlying asset, which is initially equal to the lease liability and adjusted for lease payments made at or before lease commencement, lease incentives, and any initial direct costs. Like other long-lived assets, we test ROU assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances have occurred that may affect the recoverability or the estimated useful lives of the ROU assets.
For our operating leases, our non-regulated entities recognize a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term in operating expenses. The California Utilities recognize this single lease cost on a basis that is consistent with the recovery of such costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations.
For our finance leases, the interest expense on the lease liability and amortization of the ROU asset are accounted for separately. Our non-regulated entities use the effective interest rate method to account for the imputed interest on the lease liability and amortize the ROU asset on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The California Utilities recognize amortization of the ROU asset on a basis that is consistent with the recovery of such costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations.
Our leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants.
Classification of ROU assets and lease liabilities and the weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate associated with operating and finance leases are summarized in the table below.

Leases that Have Not Yet Commenced
SDG&E has PPAs for three battery storage facilities that are currently under construction. When construction is complete and delivery of contracted power commences, which is scheduled to occur in 2019 through 2022, we will account for the PPAs as finance leases. The future minimum lease payments are expected to be $1 million per year in 2020 through 2023 and $18 million thereafter. These PPA’s expire at various dates from 2031 through 2039.
SDG&E and SoCalGas have lease agreements for future acquisitions of fleet vehicles with an aggregate maximum lease limit of $194$167 million. SDG&E and SoCalGas have utilized $52$62 million and $75$80 million, respectively, of these maximum lease limits as of March 31, 2019.

Lessor Accounting
Sempra Mexico is a lessor for certain of its natural gas and ethane pipelines, compressor stations and LPG storage facilities, and land and office space. These operating leases expire at various dates from 2026 through 2039.


Sempra Mexico expects to continue to derive value from the underlying assets associated with its pipelines following the end of their respective lease terms based on the expected remaining useful life, expected market conditions and our plans to re-market and re-contract the underlying assets.facilities.
Generally, we recognize operating lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term and evaluate the underlying asset for impairment. Certain of our leases contain rate adjustments or are based on foreign currency exchange rates that may result in lease payments received that vary from one period to the next.
We provide information below for leases for which we are the lessor.

OTHER CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS
We discuss below significant changes in the first three months of 20192020 to contractual commitments discussed in Notes 1 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Natural Gas Contracts
Sempra LNG’s natural gas storage and transportation commitments have increased by $136 million since December 31, 2019, primarily from entering into new storage and transportation contracts in the first three months of 2020. We expect future payments to decrease by $24 million in 2020, and increase by $23 million in 2021, $21 million in 2022, $19 million in 2023, $19 million in 2024 and $78 million thereafter compared to December 31, 2019.
LNG Purchase Agreement
Sempra LNG has a sale and purchase agreement for the supply of LNG to the ECA terminal.LNG Regasification facility. The commitment amount is calculated using a predetermined formula based on estimated forward prices of the index applicable from 20192020 to 2029. Although this agreement specifies a number of cargoes to be delivered, under its terms, the customer may divert certain cargoes,


which would reduce amounts paid under the agreement by Sempra LNG. At March 31, 2019,2020, we expect the commitment amount to decrease by $96 million in 2019 and increase by $19$135 million in 2020, $8$26 million in 2021, $3$35 million in 2022, $2$36 million in 2023, $43 million in 2024 and $52$174 million thereafter (through contract termination in 2029) compared to December 31, 2018,2019, reflecting changes in estimated forward prices since December 31, 20182019 and actual transactions for the first three months of 2019.2020. These LNG commitment amounts are based on the assumption that all LNG 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 customer may divert certain cargoes, which would reduce amounts paid under the agreement by


Sempra LNG. Actual LNG purchases in the current and prior years have been significantly lower than the maximum amount provided under the agreement due to the customer electing to divert cargoes as allowed by the agreement.
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. Sempra Mexico’s Ecogas also grants credit to its utility customers and counterparties in Mexico.
Projects and businesses owned or partially owned by Sempra Energy 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 and investment opportunities.
     
NOTE 12. SEGMENT INFORMATION
At March 31, 2019, we had sixWe have 5 separately managed reportable segments, as follows:
SDG&E provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County.
SoCalGas is a natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.
Sempra Texas UtilityUtilities holds our investment in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25-percent80.25% interest in Oncor, a regulated electric transmission and distribution utility serving customers in the north-central, eastern, and western partsand panhandle regions of Texas.Texas; our indirect, 50% interest in Sharyland Holdings, which owns Sharyland Utilities, a regulated electric transmission and distribution utility serving customers near the Texas-Mexico border; and our indirect, 1% interest in TTHC, which owns an indirect 19.75% interest in Oncor. As we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, we acquired our investment in Oncor Holdings in March 2018, Sharyland Holdings in May 2019, and TTHC in February 2020.
Sempra Mexico develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, natural gas, electric, LNG, LPG, ethane and liquid fuels infrastructure, and has marketing operations for the purchase of LNG and the purchase and sale of natural gas in Mexico.
Sempra RenewablesLNG develops projects for the export of LNG, holds an interest in a facility for the export of LNG, owns and operates or holds interests in, wind power generation facilities serving wholesale electricity markets in the U.S. In December 2018, Sempra Renewables completed the sale of all its operating solar assets, solar and battery storage development projects and one wind generation facility. In April 2019, Sempra Renewables completed the sale of its remaining wind assets and investments. Upon completion of this sale, remaining nominal business activities at Sempra Renewables were subsumed into Parent and other and the Sempra Renewables segment ceased to exist.
Sempra LNG (previously known as Sempra LNG & Midstream) develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, terminals for the import and export of LNG and sale of natural gas, natural gas pipelines, and buys, sells and transports natural gas through its marketing operations, all within the U.S. and Mexico. In February 2019, we completed the sale of our natural gas storage assets at Mississippi Hub and Bay Gas.
In April 2019, Sempra Renewables completed the sale of its remaining wind assets and investments. Upon completion of this sale, remaining nominal business activities at Sempra Renewables were subsumed into Parent and other and the Sempra Renewables segment ceased to exist. The tables below include amounts from Sempra Renewables up until cessation of the segment.
As we discuss in Note 5, the financial information related to our businesses that constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment has been reclassified toclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The information in the tables below excludes amounts from discontinued operations unless otherwise noted.
We evaluate each segment’s performance based on its contribution to Sempra Energy’s reported earnings and cash flows. The California Utilities operate in essentially separate service territories, under separate regulatory frameworks and rate structures set by the CPUC. The California Utilities’ operations are based on rates set by the CPUC and the FERC. We describe the accounting policies of all of our segments in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
The cost of common services shared by the business segments is assigned directly or allocated based on various cost factors, depending on the nature of the service provided. Interest income and expense is recorded on intercompany loans. The loan balances and related interest are eliminated in consolidation.
The following tables show selected information by segment from our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts labeled as “All other” in the following tables consist primarily of activities of parent organizations and include certain nominal amounts from our South American businesses that did not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations.

OVERVIEW
Sempra Energy is a Fortune 500California-based energy-services holding company. Ourcompany whose businesses which consist of six separately managed reportable segments, invest in, develop and operate energy infrastructure, and provide electric and gas services to customers in North America. As we discuss in Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, our businesses consist of five separately managed reportable segments.
On

In January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses, which were previously included in our Sempra South American Utilities segment. Our South American businesses and certain activities associated with those businesses have been reclassified topresented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Nominal activities that are not classified as discontinued operations have been subsumed into Parent and other. Our discussions below exclude discontinued operations, unless otherwise noted.
In the first quarter of 2019, our Sempra LNG & Midstream segment was renamed “Sempra LNG.” This segment name change had no impact on our historical position, results of operations, cash flow or segment results previously reported.
We provide additional information about discontinued operations in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and about our reportable segments in Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements hereinin this report and in “Item 1. Business” in the Annual Report.

Due to the delay in the issuance of the CPUC’s final decision in the California Utilities’ 2019 GRC, the California Utilities recorded revenues in the first quarter of 2019 based on levels authorized for 2018 under the 2016 GRC. The 2019 GRC FD, which was issued by the CPUC in September 2019, was effective retroactively to January 1, 2019. The California Utilities’ CPUC-authorized base revenues for the first quarter of 2020 are based on the revenues authorized for the 2019 test year plus the amount authorized for attrition for 2020. Had the 2019 GRC FD been in effect in the first quarter of 2019, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ earnings for the first quarter of 2019 would have been higher by $36 million and $84 million, respectively. These amounts were recorded in earnings in the third quarter of 2019. We provide additional information on the 2019 GRC FD 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.
SDG&E
The increase in earnings of $6$86 million (4%(49%) in the three months ended March 31, 20192020 was primarily due to:

$38 million higher electric transmission margin, including the following impacts from the March 2020 FERC-approved TO5 settlement proceeding:
$18 million to conclude a rate base matter, and
$9 million favorable impact from the retroactive application of the final TO5 settlement for 2019. The settlement proceeding increased SDG&E’s authorized ROE from 10.05% to 10.60%, effective June 1, 2019; and
$9 million higher AFUDC equity; offset by
$31 million income tax benefit in 2019 from the release of a regulatory liability established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed to be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision; and
$96 million higher earnings from electric transmission operations; offset by
amortization of Wildfire Fund asset.
SoCalGas
The increase in earnings of $39 million (15%) in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to:
$27109 million higher CPUC base operating margin, net of operating expenses, including $84 million lower CPUC base operating margin in 2019 due to the delay in the issuance of the 2019 GRC decision while absorbingFD;
$21 million higher operating costs, including higher wildfire insurance premiums.income tax benefits from flow-through items; and
SoCalGas
The increase in earnings of $39 million (17%) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily due to:
$8 million penalties in 2019 related to the SoCalGas billing practices OII; offset by
$72 million from impacts associated with Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility litigation; and
$35 million income tax benefit in 2019 from the impact of the January 2019 CPUC decision allocating certain excess deferred income tax balances to shareholders; and
$5 million higher regulatory awards; offset by
$8 million in penalties related to the SoCalGas billing practices OII that we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.shareholders.
Sempra Texas UtilityUtilities
The increase in earnings of $79$11 million for(12%) in the three months ended March 31, 2019 represents2020 was primarily due to higher equity earnings from our investment in Oncor Holdings which we acquired in March 2018.2020, driven mainly by the impact of Oncor’s acquisition of InfraREIT, Inc. in May 2019 and higher revenues due to rate updates to reflect increases in invested transmission capital, partially offset by higher operating costs and lower consumption due to weather.


Sempra Mexico
The increase in earnings of $37$134 million in the three months ended March 31, 20192020 was primarily due to:


$45253 million favorable impact from foreign currency and inflation effects net of foreign currency derivatives effects, comprised of:
in 2020, $326 million favorable foreign currency and inflation effects, offset by a $91 million loss from foreign currency derivatives, and
in 2019, $25 million unfavorable foreign currency and inflation effects, offset by a $7 million gain from foreign currency derivatives, offset by
in 2018, $95 million unfavorable foreign currency and inflation effects, offset by $32 million gain from foreign currency derivatives. We discuss these effects below in “Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations;”
$11 million higher capitalized financing costs, primarily from higher equity earnings in 2019 from AFUDC at the IMG joint venture;derivatives; and
$108 million improved operating results at TdM mainlyprimarily due to higher power prices and volumes;the start of commercial operations of the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan marine pipeline at IMG JV in the third quarter of 2019; offset by

Sempra LNG
The decreaseincrease in earnings of $8$70 million (38%) in the three months ended March 31, 20192020 was primarily due to:
$1643 million lower pretax losses attributed to NCI,higher equity earnings from Cameron LNG JV primarily due to the 2018 impact of the TCJA on NCI allocations computed using the HLBV method;Train 1 and Train 2 commencing commercial operations under their tolling agreements in August 2019 and February 2020, respectively; and
$742 million lowerhigher earnings from assets soldSempra LNG’s marketing operations primarily driven by changes in December 2018;natural gas prices; offset by
$7 million lower general and administrative and other costs due to the wind-down of this business; and
$4 million lower depreciation as a result of wind assets held for sale.
Sempra LNG
Earnings of $5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to losses of $16 million for the same period in 2018 were primarily due to:
$155 million higher earnings from our marketing operations primarily driven by changes in natural gas prices; and
$9 million unfavorable adjustment in 2018 to TCJA provisional amounts recorded in 2017 related to the remeasurement of deferred income taxes.liquefaction project development costs.
Parent and Other

Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations that were previously in our Sempra South American Utilities segment include our 100-percent100% interest in Chilquinta Energía in Chile, our 83.6-percent83.6% interest in Luz del Sur in Peru and our interests in two energy-services companies, Tecnored and Tecsur, which provide electric construction and infrastructure services to Chilquinta Energía and Luz del Sur, respectively, as well as third parties. Discontinued operations also include activities, mainly income taxes related to the South American businesses, that were previously included in the holding company of the South American businesses at Parent and other.
LossesEarnings of $51$72 million in the three months ended March 31, 20192020 compared to earningslosses of $21$51 million for the same period in 2018 were2019 was primarily due to:to the following income tax impacts resulting from changes in outside basis differences in our South American businesses:

ADJUSTED EARNINGS AND ADJUSTED EPS
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 analysis 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.
For each period in which a non-GAAP financial measure is used, we provide in the table below a reconciliation of Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted EPS, and Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding – Adjusted to GAAP Earnings, GAAP EPS, and Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding – GAAP, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the assumed conversion of the series A preferred stock and the series B preferred stock are antidilutive for GAAP Earnings, however, the series A preferred stock is dilutive for the higher Adjusted Earnings. As such, the series A preferred stock dividends have been added back to the numerator and the dilutive effect of the series A preferred stock shares has been added to the denominator when calculating Adjusted EPS.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES, COSTS AND EARNINGS
This section contains a discussion of the differences between periods in the specific line items of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas.
Utilities Revenues
Our utilities revenues include natural gas revenues at our California Utilities and Sempra Mexico’s Ecogas and electric revenues at SDG&E. Intercompany revenues included in the separate revenues of each utility are eliminated in the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.


SoCalGas and SDG&E currently operate under a regulatory framework that:that permits:
permits theThe 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 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in “Item 1. Business – Ratemaking Mechanisms” in the Annual Report.
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 or refunded in subsequent periods through rates.
permits theThe California Utilities to recover certain expenses for programs authorized by the CPUC, or “refundable programs.”
Because changes in SoCalGas’ and SDG&E’s cost of natural gas and/or electricity are substantially recovered in rates, changes in these costs are offset in the changes in revenues, and therefore do not impact earnings. In addition to the changes in cost or market prices, natural gas or electric revenues recorded during a period are impacted by customer billing cycles causing a difference between customer billings and recorded or authorized costs. 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 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements hereinin this report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
The California Utilities’ revenues are decoupled from, or not tied to, actual sales volumes. SoCalGas recognizes annual authorized revenue for core natural gas customers using seasonal factors established in the Triennial Cost Allocation Proceeding. Accordingly, a significant portion of SoCalGas’ annual earnings are 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.

In the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, Sempra Energy’s natural gas revenues increased by $268$41 million (20%(3%) toremaining at $1.6 billion primarily due to:
$23534 million increase at SoCalGas, which included:
$166181 million increasehigher CPUC-authorized revenues, including $116 million lower revenues in cost2019 due to the delay in the issuance of natural gas sold, which we discuss below,the 2019 GRC FD, and
$20 million higher revenues from capital projects,
$936 million higher recovery of costs associated with CPUC-authorized refundable programs, which revenues are offset in O&M,offset by
$7177 million decrease in charges in 2019 associated with tracking the income tax benefit from flow-through items in relation to forecasted amounts in the 2016 GRC FD, and

Electric Revenues and Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power
In the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, our electric revenues, substantially all of which are at SDG&E, increased by $57$109 million (6%(12%) to $939 million, primarily at SDG&E,$1.0 billion, including:
$3567 million increase in transmission operations, including the following impacts related to the March 2020 FERC-approved TO5 settlement proceeding:
$26 million to settle a rate base matter, and
$12 million favorable impact from the retroactive application of the final TO5 settlement for 2019; and
$55 million higher recovery of costs associated with CPUC-authorized refundable programs, which revenues are offset in O&M; offset by
$27 million lower cost of electric fuel and purchased power, which we discuss below; and

$36 million decrease at Parent and other primarily from higher retained operating costs.lower deferred compensation expense.
Other (Expense) Income, Net
As part of our central risk management function, we enter into foreign currency derivatives to hedge Sempra Mexico parent’s exposure to movements in the Mexican peso from its controlling interest in IEnova. The gains/losses associated with these derivatives are included in Other (Expense) Income, Net, as described below, and partially mitigate the transactional effects of foreign currency and inflation included in Income Taxes Tax Benefit (Expense) for Sempra Mexico’s consolidated entities and in earnings fromEquity Earnings for Sempra Mexico’s equity method investments. We also utilize foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposure to fluctuations in the Peruvian sol and Chilean peso related to the sale of our operations in Peru and Chile, respectively. We discuss policies governing our risk management in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure aboutDisclosures About Market Risk” in the Annual Report.
Other income,expense, net, decreased by $70 million (46%) to $82 million in the three months ended March 31, 20192020 was $254 million compared to other income, net, of $82 million in the same period in 2019. The change was primarily due to:
$72276 million lower net gainslosses in 20192020 from interest rate and foreign exchange instruments and foreign currency transactions compared to net gains of $20 million for the same period in 2019 primarily due to:
$34149 million lowerforeign currency losses in 2020 compared to $10 million foreign currency gains in 2019 on a Mexican peso-denominated loan to IMG JV, which is offset in Equity Earnings, and

higher income tax benefitsbenefit in 2019 from flow-through deductions.the release of a regulatory liability established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision.
SoCalGas
The decreaseincrease in SoCalGas’ income tax expense in the three months ended March 31, 20192020 was due to a lowerhigher ETR offset byand higher pretax income. The change in ETR was primarily due to a $35 million income tax benefit in 2019 from the release of a regulatory liability established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision.


Equity Earnings (Losses)
In the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, equity earnings were $101increased by $162 million compared to losses of $21$263 million for the same period in 2018 primarily due to:
$79171 million higher equity earnings net of income tax, from our investmentat IMG JV, primarily due to foreign currency effects, including $149 million foreign currency gains in Oncor Holdings, which we acquired in March 2018; and
$292020 compared to $10 million lower foreign currency losses in 2019 at theon IMG JV on itsJV’s Mexican peso-denominated loans from its JV owners, which is fully offset in Other (Expense) Income, Net.Net, and the start of commercial operations of the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan marine pipeline;
(Earnings) Losses Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Earnings attributable to NCI for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $41 million compared to losses attributable to NCI of $17 million for the same period in 2018. The change was primarily due to:
$3055 million increasehigher equity earnings at Cameron LNG JV primarily due to Train 1 and Train 2 commencing commercial operations under their tolling agreements in earnings attributable to NCI at Sempra Mexico inAugust 2019; and
February 2020, respectively; and

InEarnings attributable to NCI increased by $110 million to $151 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019, mandatory convertible preferred stock dividends increased by $8 million to $36 million2020 primarily due to dividends associated with our series B preferred stock, which were issuedan increase in July 2018.earnings attributable to NCI at Sempra Mexico primarily from foreign currency effects as a result of fluctuation of the Mexico peso.


IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATES ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Because operations in South America and our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico uses itsuse their local currency as itstheir functional currency, revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period for consolidation in Sempra Energy Consolidated’s results of operations. 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 “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’sEnergy Consolidated’s comparative results of operations. InChanges in foreign currency translation rates between periods resulted in $4 million lower earnings within discontinued operations in the first three months ended March 31, 2019of 2020 compared to the prior-yearsame period the change in our earnings as a result of foreign currency translation was not material.2019.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
OVERVIEW
The COVID-19 Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a pandemic. President Donald Trump officially declared a national emergency on March 13, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic is causing a significant impact on the economy and people’s livelihoods, including substantial volatility and erosion of value in financial markets and a historic surge in unemployment claims while individuals adhere to shelter-in-place mandates and practice social distancing, and has resulted in sweeping action by governments and other authorities to help address these effects. The following describes some of these government actions and their current and anticipated impact on our businesses:
On March 4, 2020, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a State of Emergency in California as a result of the threat of COVID-19, and on March 19, 2020, the Governor imposed a California-wide shelter-in-place directive via an Executive Order that will remain in place indefinitely. The Governor’s Executive Order requires all individuals living in California to stay home or at their place of residence except as needed to maintain the continuity of 16 critical infrastructure sectors. Our businesses that invest in, develop and operate energy infrastructure and provide electric and gas services to customers in California have been identified as critical infrastructure under the Executive Order.
On March 13, 2020, the California Utilities announced that they were voluntarily instituting a suspension of all customer disconnections for nonpayment of customer bills until further notice.
On March 17, 2020, the CPUC announced that, retroactive to March 4, 2020, all energy companies under its jurisdiction, including the California Utilities, should take action to implement several emergency customer protection measures to support California customers. The measures apply to all residential and small business customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and include suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment, waiving late payment fees, and offering flexible payment plans for all customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. Similarly, on March 26, 2020, the PUCT issued orders that require retail electric providers to offer a deferred payment plan to customers, upon request, and authorized customer assistance programs for certain residential customers of electric service. The continuation of these circumstances could result in a material reduction in payments received from our customers and a material increase in uncollectible accounts that we may not be able to recover in rates, which could have a material adverse effect on the cash flows, financial condition and results of operations for Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas.
On March 30, 2020, the Mexican government announced a national state of sanitary emergency, suspending all non-essential activities and urging people in Mexico to stay at home until April 30, 2020, which was subsequently extended to May 30, 2020 and may be extended further. Essential business activities that may continue to operate during the health emergency include the conservation, maintenance and repair of critical infrastructure that ensures the production and distribution of electric and gas services.
On April 16, 2020, the CPUC approved a resolution authorizing each of the California Utilities to establish a CPPMA to track and request recovery of incremental costs associated with complying with measures implemented by the CPUC related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although we are tracking these costs, which will include incremental amounts associated with customer nonpayments, CPUC approval is required to collect all or any portion of the balance of the CPPMA, which is not assured. Similarly, the PUCT has provided for the use of a regulatory asset accounting mechanism and a subsequent process through which regulated utility companies may seek future recovery of expenses resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the creation of a COVID-19 Electricity Relief Program fund through which transmission and distribution utilities and retail electric providers may seek to recover a reasonable portion of the cost of providing uninterrupted services to customers facing financial hardship due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. There can be no assurance, however, that our Texas utilities will be able to recover any of the costs they incur from their response to the COVID-19 pandemic through these programs or otherwise.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted and signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act contains significant business tax provisions, including a delay of payment of employer payroll taxes and an acceleration of refunds of corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) credits. Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas expect to benefit from deferring payment of the employer’s share of payroll taxes through the end of 2020, with half of such taxes to be paid by the end of 2021 and the other half to be paid by the end of 2022. Sempra Energy has filed a refund claim for its corporate AMT credits and expects to receive approximately $56 million in 2020 rather than in installments through 2021.


In addition, we and other companies, including our partners, are taking steps to try to protect the health and well-being of our employees and other stakeholders. As our businesses continue to operate, our priority is the safety of our employees, customers, partners and the communities we serve. For example, we have activated our business continuity plans and continue to work closely with local, state and federal authorities to provide essential services with minimum interruption to customers and in accordance with applicable shelter-in-place orders. We have implemented precautionary measures across our businesses, including requiring employees to work remotely when possible, restricting non-essential business travel, increasing facility sanitization and communicating proper health and safety protocols to employees. Additionally, SDG&E announced that it is postponing all noncritical planned outages, while continuing with those related to public safety, emergencies and wildfire mitigation, to try to protect employees and maintain service to customers as seamlessly as possible. We also have engaged an infectious disease expert to advise us during this public health crisis. Through the end of the first quarter of 2020, these actions have not required significant outlays of capital and have not had a material impact on our results of operations, but these or other measures that we may implement in the future could have a substantial effect on our liquidity, cash flows, financial position and results of operations if circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic worsen or continue for an extended period of time.
The COVID-19 pandemic and its widespread effects may also impact our capital plans, liquidity and asset values. For example:
Our capital projects and planned expenditures could experience delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, either because we decide to postpone certain activities in an effort to preserve cash or other resources or for other reasons related to the pandemic that are beyond our control, including supply chain and contractor performance delays or delays in the issuance of required permits. Any such delay could have a material effect on our capital plans and results of operations. We discuss the potential for these delays in further detail with respect to each of our segments below.
The decline and volatility in the financial markets has had a significant impact on certain of the markets that we typically access for working capital and other liquidity requirements. See the discussion in “Liquidity” below for more information.
We have significant investments in several trusts to provide for future payments of pensions and other postretirement benefits and nuclear decommissioning. Although all of our trust funds’ investments are diversified and managed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the value of the investments in these trusts declined significantly in the second half of the first quarter of 2020 due to a decline in the equity markets and volatility in the fixed income market triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. These markets continue to be volatile. The decrease in asset values has not affected the funds’ ability to make their required payments; however, this could change if conditions worsen or continue for an extended period. Moreover, if asset values do not recover, our funding requirements for pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2021 may increase. Other factors may also impact funding requirements for pension and other postretirement benefit plans, including changes to discount rates, assumed rates of return, mortality tables and regulations. Funding requirements for SDG&E’s NDT could be impacted by the value of the assets as well as the timing and amount of SONGS decommissioning costs. 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 9 and 15, respectively, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
We perform recovery testing of our recorded asset values when market conditions indicate that such values may not be recoverable. Given the current economic environment, including the significant decline in the price of our common stock, market volatility and potential reduction in customer collections, we considered whether these events or changes in circumstances triggered the need for an interim impairment analysis for our long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill. We determined that, given the existing headroom in our prior quantitative tests and assessment of the impact of these conditions on our businesses, there was no triggering event as of March 31, 2020. However, as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve, we will continue to assess the need to perform an interim impairment test. 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 long-lived assets, intangible assets or goodwill would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which it is recorded.
For a further discussion of risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, see below in “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
Liquidity
We expect to meet our cash requirements through cash flows from operations, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from recent and planned asset sales, borrowings under our credit facilities, distributions from our equity method investments, issuances of debt, and equity securities, project financing and other equity sales, including partnering in JVs.
Our lines of credit provide liquidity and support commercial paper. As we discuss in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, at March 31, 2019, Sempra Energy, Sempra Global and the California Utilities each had 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. In addition, IEnova has a $1.5 billion line of credit, with approximately $692 million available unused credit at March 31, 2019.

However, changing economic conditions,rates from commercial banks, under existing revolving credit facilities or through public offerings registered with the inabilitySEC. There have been, however, substantial disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the commercial paper markets during the second half of the first quarter of 2020, which have historically been a primary source of working capital for Sempra Energy and the California legislativeUtilities. In addition, the capital markets in general and regulatory bodiesthe availability of financing from commercial banks also have shown periods of significant distress in the second half of the first quarter of 2020 due to reduce the economic exposureCOVID-19 pandemic, and our ability to access the capital markets or obtain credit from commercial banks outside of our California Utilities to any potential future wildfires,committed revolving credit facilities could become materially constrained, especially if these conditions worsen or continue for an extended period. In addition, our financing 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 financing. Also, cash flows from operations may be impacted by the timing of commencement and completion, and potentially cost overruns, of large projects. If cash flows from operations were to be significantly reduced or we were unable to borrow under acceptable terms, we would likely first reduce or postpone discretionary capital expenditures (not related to safety) and investments in new businesses. We monitor our ability to finance the needs of our operating, investing and financing activities in a manner consistent with our intention to maintain our investment-grade credit ratings and capital structure.structure.

Our corporateCalifornia Utilities use short-term unsecured promissory notes, or commercialdebt primarily to meet working capital needs. Commercial paper, revolving lines of credit and term loans were our primary sources of short-term debt funding in the first three monthsquarter of 2019.

As we discuss in Note 17 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements, Sempra Energy and SDG&E obtained 364-day term loans with aggregate principal amounts outstanding at March 31, 2020, of $1,525 million and $200 million, respectively. At March 31, 2020, SDG&E classified a total of $400 million of its then outstanding revolving line of credit and term loan as long-term debt based on management’s intent and ability to maintain this level of borrowing on a long-term basis. In April 2020, SDG&E completed a $400 million public offering of first mortgage bonds maturing in 2050 and repaid the amounts borrowed under its revolving line of credit. On April 1, 2020, Sempra Energy borrowed an additional $75 million under its term loan.


Credit Ratings
We have significant investmentsprovide additional information about the credit ratings of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas in several trusts to provide for future payments of pensions“Item 1A. Risk Factors” and other postretirement benefits,“Item 2. MD&A – Capital Resources 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 9 and 15, respectively, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial StatementsLiquidity” in the Annual Report.

The credit ratings of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas remained at investment grade levels in the first three months of 2020.

As we discussOur credit ratings may affect the rates at which borrowings bear interest and the commitment fees on available unused credit. A downgrade of Sempra Energy’s or any of its subsidiaries’ credit ratings or rating outlooks may result in Note 14a 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 Energy, SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra Energy’s other subsidiaries to issue debt securities, to borrow under credit facilities and to raise certain other types of financing.
Sempra Energy has agreed that, if the credit rating of Oncor’s senior secured debt by any of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements inthree major rating agencies falls below BBB (or the Annual Report, our forward sale agreements permit us to elect cash settlement or net share settlementequivalent), Oncor will suspend dividends and other distributions (except for all or a portion of our obligations under the forward sale agreements. We expect to settle the forward sale agreements entirelycontractual tax payments), unless otherwise allowed by the physical delivery of shares of our common stock in exchange for cash proceeds. As of May 7, 2019, based on the initial forward sale price of approximately $105.07 per share in January 2018PUCT. Oncor’s senior secured debt was rated A2, A+ and approximately $111.87 per share in July 2018, we expect that the net proceeds from full physical settlement of the remaining forward sale agreements would be approximately $1.8 billion (net of underwriting discounts, but before deducting equity issuance costs,A at Moody’s, S&P and subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the forward sale agreements). If we were to elect cash settlement or net share settlement, the amount of cash proceeds we receive upon settlement could differ, perhaps substantially, or we may not receive any cash proceeds or we may deliver cash (in an amount which could be significant) or shares of our common stock to the forward purchasers. We expect to settle the remaining portion of the forward sale agreements in one or more settlements no later than December 15, 2019, which is the final settlement date under the agreements.

At March 31, 2020, Sempra Energy had $615 million in loans to sell our South American businesses. As such, we have reclassified these businesses to held for saleunconsolidated affiliates and presented them as discontinued operations. We expect to complete the sale by the end of 2019$263 million in loans from unconsolidated affiliates.

Our utilities in South AmericaSoCalGas’ operations have historically provided relatively stable earnings and liquidity. We expectTheir future performance will depend primarily on the cash provided by earnings from our focused capital investment will exceed the absence of cash flows from these discontinued operations. However, there can be no assurance that we will derive these anticipated benefits. While we expect to complete the sale of our South American businessesratemaking and regulatory process, environmental regulations, economic conditions, actions by the end of 2019, the planned sale will depend on several factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, regulatory approvals, market conditions, political and macroeconomic factors, industry trends, consent rights or other rights granted to or held by third partiesCalifornia legislature and the availability of financing to potential buyers on reasonable terms. Further, there can be no assurance thatchanging energy marketplace, as well as the sale, if completed, will resultother matters described in a sales price that we believe adequately values these businesses or additional value to our shareholders, or that we will be able to redeploy the capital that we obtain from such sale in a way that would result in cash flows or earnings exceeding those historically generated by these businesses.
California Utilitiesthis report.
SDG&E and SoCalGas expect that the available unused credit from their credit facilities described above, cash flows from operations, and debt issuances will continue to be adequate to fund their respective current operations and planned capital expenditures. The California Utilities are continuing to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cash flows and results of operations. As we discuss below in “Item 3. QuantitativeSome of our customers will likely experience diminished ability to pay their electric or gas bills, leading to slower payments and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk –higher levels of nonpayment than has been the case historically. Credit Ratings,” the credit ratings of SDG&EThese impacts could be significant and SoCalGas may affect the rates at which borrowings bear interest, collateralcould require modifications to be posted and fees on outstanding credit facilities. our financing plans. The California Utilities manage their capital structure and pay dividends when appropriate and as approved by their respective boards of directors.
SDG&E declared common stock dividends of $250 millionAs we discuss in the year ended December 31, 2018. SDG&E’s declared common stock dividends on an annual historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations, and could be impacted over the next few years in order for SDG&E to maintain its authorized capital structure while managing its capital investment program (approximately $1.6 billion in 2019, which does not include the impactNote 4 of the OMEC LLC put option that we discuss below).
SoCalGas declared common stock dividends of $50 millionNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the year ended December 31, 2018. As a result of its capital investment program, SoCalGas had not previously declared or paid common stock dividends since 2015. SoCalGas expects that its common stock dividends will continue to be impacted by its ability to maintain its authorized capital structure while managing its capital investment program (approximately $1.5 billion in 2019).
As we discussthis report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, changes in balancing accounts for significant costs at SDG&E and SoCalGas, particularly a change between over- and undercollected status, including commodity and transportation balancing accounts, 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 in rates through billings to customers.
SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ balancing accounts include:
Energy Resource Recovery Balancing Account (ERRA) – tracks the difference between amounts billed to customers and the actual cost of electric fuel and purchased power. SDG&E’s ERRA balance was undercollected by $126 million and $50 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The increase in the ERRA undercollected balance in 2019 was primarily due to seasonalized electric rates. We typically undercollect in the winter months due to lower winter rates and overcollect in the summer months when the higher summer rates take effect. We expect the ERRA undercollected balance to decrease through the end of the year.



Core Fixed Cost Account (CFCA) – tracks the difference between amounts billed to customers and the authorized margin and other costs allocated to core customers. SDG&E’s CFCA balance was undercollected by $18 million and $51 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and SoCalGas’ CFCA balance was undercollected by $63 million and $177 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The decrease in undercollection was mainly due to cold weather resulting in higher natural gas consumption compared to authorized levels.
SDG&E

In 2019, SDG&E recorded a Wildfire Fund asset for committed shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund. We describe the Wildfire Legislation and related accounting treatment in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
SDG&E hasis exposed to the risk that the participating California electric IOUs may incur third-party wildfire claims for which they will seek recovery from the Wildfire Fund.

SoCalGas
Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
We provide informationSoCalGas’ performance will also depend on the natural gas leakresolution of legal, regulatory and other matters concerning the Leak at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, which we discuss further in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein, in “Factors Influencing Future Performance” belowthis report, and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
From October 23, 2015, through February 11, 2016, SoCalGas experienced a natural gas leak from one of the injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility located in Los Angeles County. In February 2016, CalGEM confirmed that the well was permanently sealed.
Cost Estimates, Accounting Impact and Insurance.At March 31, 2020, SoCalGas estimates the costs related to the Leak are $1,408 million (the cost estimate). This cost estimate may increase significantly as more information becomes available. A substantial portion of the cost estimate has been paid, and $284 million is accrued as Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $6 million is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other as of March 31, 2020 on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Except for the amounts paid or estimated to settle certain actions, the cost estimate does not include all litigation or regulatory costs to the extent it is not possible to predict at this time the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the costs to defend or resolve the actions or the amount of damages, restitution, or civil, administrative or criminal fines, sanctions, penalties or other costs or remedies that may be imposed or incurred. The cost estimate also does not include certain other costs incurred to remediate and stop the Leak and to mitigate local community impacts are significant and may increase, and the costs ofby Sempra Energy associated with defending against the related civil and criminalshareholder derivative lawsuits and cooperating with related investigations, and any damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines,other potential costs and other penalties, if awardedthat we currently do not anticipate incurring or imposed, as well asthat we cannot reasonably estimate. These costs of mitigatingnot included in the actual natural gas released,cost estimate could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
We have received insurance payments for many of the costs included in the cost estimate, including temporary relocation and associated processing costs, control-of-well expenses, costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak, certain legal costs and lost gas. We intend to pursue the full extent of our insurance coverage for the costs we have incurred. Other than directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, after taking into consideration the additional accrual related to litigation matters described in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have effectively exhausted all of our insurance in this matter, except as to certain defense costs we may incur in the future, including those related to the shareholder derivative lawsuits. We continue to pursue other sources of insurance coverage for costs related to this matter, but we may not covered bybe successful in obtaining additional insurance (includingrecovery for any of these costs. If we are not able to secure additional insurance recovery for all or a substantial portion of these costs, if any costs in excess of applicable policy limits),we have recorded as an insurance receivable are not collected, if there were to be significantare delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts, which could be significant, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Also, higher operating costs


As of March 31, 2020, we recorded the expected recovery of the cost estimate related to the Leak of $511 million as Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs on SoCalGas’ and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas asSempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is exclusive of insurance retentions and $766 million of insurance proceeds we received through March 31, 2020. If we were to conclude that this receivable or a resultportion of new laws, orders, rules and regulations arising outit is no longer probable of recovery from insurers, some or all of this incident or our responses theretoreceivable would be charged against earnings, which 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.
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 is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important element of SoCalGas’ delivery system. As a result of the Leak, SoCalGas suspended injection of natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility beginning in October 2015 and, following a comprehensive safety review and authorization by CalGEM and the CPUC’s Executive Director, resumed limited injection operations in July 2017.
During the suspension period, SoCalGas advised the California ISO, California Energy Commission, CPUC and Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration of its concerns that the inability to inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility posed a risk to energy reliability in Southern California. The CPUC has issued a series of directives to SoCalGas specifying the range of working gas to be maintained in the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility as well as protocols for the withdrawal of gas, to help ensure safe and reliable natural gas service, while helping to maintain stable energy prices in Southern California. Limited withdrawals of natural gas from the facility were made in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to augment natural gas supplies during critical demand periods.
In February 2017, the CPUC opened a proceeding pursuant to SB 380 to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed, or if future cash flows from its operation 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 March 31, 2020, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $771 million. Any significant impairment of this asset, or higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas that may not be recoverable in customer rates, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Sempra Texas UtilityUtilities
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 from operations and with proceeds from indebtedness. In the event that Oncor fails to meet its capital requirements, we may be required to make additional investments incapital contributions to Oncor, or if Oncor is unable to access sufficient capital to finance its ongoing needs, we may elect to make additional investments incapital contributions to 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. In that regard, our commitments to the PUCT prohibit us from making loans to Oncor. As a result, if Oncor requires additional financing and cannot obtain it from other sources, we may be requiredelect to make a capital contribution to Oncor.
On October 18, 2018, Sempra Energy committedOncor’s ability to makepay dividends may be limited by factors such as its credit ratings, regulatory capital requirements, debt-to-equity ratio approved by the PUCT and other restrictions.

Sempra Mexico is currently building or developing terminals for the receipt, storage, and delivery of interestsliquid fuels in InfraREIT,the new port of Veracruz and vicinity of Mexico City, Puebla, Topolobampo, Manzanillo, and Ensenada. Sempra Mexico is also developing new solar facilities in Juárez, Chihuahua, and Benjamin Hill, Sonora, through which weit will supply renewable energy to several private companies. We expect will closethe projects to commence commercial operations on various dates in mid-2019. We estimate2020 and 2021, but these expected commencement dates could be delayed by worsening or extended disruptions of project construction or development caused by the capital contribution to be $1,025 million, excluding Sempra Energy’s share of approximately $40 million for a management agreement termination fee, as well as other customary transaction costs incurred by InfraREIT that will be borne by Oncor as part of the acquisition.COVID-19 pandemic. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” below. We expect to fund ourthese capital contribution to Oncorexpenditures and to purchase the 50-percent limited partner interest in Sharyland Holdings, LP by utilizing a portion of the proceeds received from the sales of Sempra Renewables’ assets. The capital contribution is contingent on the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the substantially simultaneous closing of the transactions contemplated by the InfraREIT Merger Agreement. We discuss these transactions in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and below in “Factors Influencing Future Performance.”

Sempra Renewablesoperations.
As we discuss in Note 511 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, hereinIEnova received force majeure payments for the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline from August 2017 to August 2019. Under an agreement between IEnova and belowthe CFE, the CFE will resume making payments only when the damaged section of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline is repaired. If the pipeline is not repaired by May 15, 2020 and the parties do not agree on a new service start date, IEnova retains the right to terminate the contract and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profits. The parties are currently discussing a new service start date in “Factors Influencing Future Performance,”the event the pipeline is not repaired by May 15, 2020, but there can be no assurance that the parties will have agreed on a new service start date if the pipeline is not repaired by that date. If IEnova is unable to make such repairs (which have not commenced) and resume operations in April 2019,the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline or if IEnova terminates the contract and is unable to obtain recovery, there may be a material adverse impact on Sempra Renewables sold its remaining wind assetsEnergy’s results of operations and investments for $584 million in cash flows and our ability to recover the carrying value of our investment.
The ability to successfully complete major construction projects is subject to working capitala number of risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Sempra LNG
Sempra LNG develops and builds natural gas liquefaction facilities and is pursuing the development of five strategically located LNG projects in North America with a long-term goal of enabling the delivery of natural gas to the largest world markets. We expect Sempra LNG to require funding for the development and expansion of its portfolio of projects, which may be financed through a combination of operating cash flows, funding from the parent, project financing and participating in JVs, including ECA LNG JV with IEnova.
North American natural gas prices, when in decline, negatively affect profitability at Sempra LNG. Also, a reduction in projected global demand for LNG could result in increased competition among those developing projects in an environment of declining LNG demand, such as the Sempra Energy-sponsored LNG export initiatives. Our LNG projects currently under development could be delayed by the worldwide economic slowdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, by the current uncertainty in the global oil and gas markets as a result of the unprecedented decline in oil prices or by a combination of these factors. For a discussion of these risks and other customary adjustments. The proceeds fromrisks involving changing commodity prices, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the sale will be used to pay down debtAnnual Report and redeploy capital to support the strategic growth of Sempra Energy in North America.“Item 1A. Risk Factors” below.
SempraCameron LNG JV Three-Train Liquefaction Project (Phase 1)
Sempra LNG, through its interest in Cameron LNG JV, is constructing a three-train natural gas liquefaction export facility atwith an expected export capability of 12 Mtpa of LNG. Construction on the Cameron LNGthree-train liquefaction project began in the second half of 2014 under an EPC contract with a JV terminal.between CB&I, LLC (as assignee of CB&I Shaw Constructors, Inc.), a wholly owned subsidiary of McDermott International, Inc., and Chiyoda International Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chiyoda Corporation. The majority of the current three-train liquefaction projectconstruction is project-financed at the JV, 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 the project equity agreements. We expect that our remaining equity requirements to complete the project will be met by a combination of our share of cash generated from eachthe first two liquefaction train as it comes on linetrains that have commenced operations and, if required, additional cash contributions. Sempra Energy signed guarantees 50.2 percentfor 50.2% of Cameron LNG JV’s obligations under the financing agreementsobligations for a maximum amount of up to $3.9$4.0 billion. 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 discussfinancial completion by September 30, 2021 (with up to an additional 365-day extension beyond such date permitted in cases of force majeure). However, if Cameron LNG JV fails to satisfy the financial completion criteria, a demand could be made under the guarantee for Sempra Energy’s 50.2% share of Cameron LNG JV’s obligations under the financing arrangements then due and payable, which could have a material adverse impact on Sempra Energy’s liquidity.


Cameron LNG JV achieved commercial operations of Train 1 and Train 2 under its tolling agreements in August 2019 and February 2020, respectively. We expect Train 3 will commence commercial operations in the third quarter of 2020. However, the expected commencement of Train 3’s commercial operations could be delayed by worsening or extended disruptions of project construction and commissioning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Large-scale construction projects such as the design, development and construction of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction facility involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including among others, the potential for unforeseen engineering challenges, severe weather events, global pandemics, substantial construction delays and increased costs. In addition, once completed, the facility may be subject to design flaws, equipment failures and other operational issues, which could cause the facility to suspend operations or operate at a reduced capacity.
Cameron LNG JV has a lump-sum, 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. In January 2020, McDermott International, Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code. McDermott International, Inc. has stated that it expects all of its projects, including the three-train liquefaction project at Cameron LNG JV, to continue on an uninterrupted basis. However, we cannot be certain the Cameron LNG JV project will not be interrupted. If the contractor defaults under the EPC contract due to the bankruptcy of McDermott International, Inc. or for any other reason, such default could result in Cameron LNG JV’s engagement of a substitute contractor. The inability to complete the project in a timely manner or within our current expectations, cost overruns, and the other risks described above could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, credit ratings and/or prospects.
For a discussion of our investment in Cameron LNG JV, JV financing, further inSempra Energy guarantees, the risks discussed above and other risks relating to the development of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction project that could adversely affect our future performance, see Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and in “Item 7. MD&A – Factors Influencing Future Performance” in the Annual Report. We also discuss Cameron LNG JV below in “Factors Influencing Future Performance.
We expect Sempra LNG to require funding for the development and expansion of its remaining portfolio of projects, which may be financed through a combination of operating cash flow, funding from the parent, project financing and partnering in JVs.

Capital Rotation
We regularly review our portfolio of assets with a view toward allocating capital to those businesses that we believe can further improve shareholder value. Following a comprehensive strategic review of our businesses and asset portfolio by our board of directors and management, in June 2018, we announced our intention to sell several energy infrastructure assets, including our entire portfolio of U.S. wind and U.S. solar assets, as well as certain non-utility natural gas storage assets in the southeast U.S. We completed the sales of our U.S. solar assets in December 2018, our non-utility natural gas storage assets in February 2019 and our remaining U.S. wind assets in April 2019. In January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses based on our strategic shift to be geographically focused on North America. Our South American businesses and certain activities associated with those businesses have been presented as discontinued operations. We expect to complete the sale by the end of 2019. We discuss these sales and discontinued operations further in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in Notes 5 and 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
In October 2015, SoCalGas discovered a leak at one of its injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility located in Los Angeles County. SoCalGas worked closely with several of the world’s leading experts to stop the Leak. In February 2016, DOGGR confirmed that the well was permanently sealed.
See Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussions of the following related to the Leak:
Local Community Mitigation Efforts;
Civil and Criminal Litigation;
Regulatory Proceedings;
Governmental Investigations and Orders and Additional Regulation; and
Insurance.
The costs incurred to remediate and stop the Leak and to mitigate local community impacts have been significant and may increase, and we may be subject to potential significant damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, penalties and other costs. In addition, the costs of defending against civil and criminal lawsuits, cooperating with investigations, and any damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, penalties and other costs, if awarded or imposed, as well as the costs of mitigating the actual natural gas released, could be significant. To the extent any of these costs are not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Cost Estimates and Accounting Impact
At March 31, 2019, SoCalGas estimates its costs related to the Leak are $1,071 million (the cost estimate), which includes $1,043 million of costs recovered or probable of recovery from insurance. Approximately 53 percent of the cost estimate is for the temporary relocation program (including cleaning costs and certain labor costs). The remaining portion of the cost estimate includes costs incurred to defend litigation, the costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak including the costs for an


independent third partyProposed Cameron Liquefaction Expansion (Phase 2)
Cameron LNG JV has received the major permits and FTA and non-FTA approvals necessary to conduct a root cause analysis, efforts to controlexpand the well, to mitigate the actual natural gas released, the cost of replacing the lost gas, and other costs, as well as the estimated costs to settle certain actions. SoCalGas adjusts the cost estimate as additional information becomes available. A substantial portioncurrent configuration of the cost estimate has been paid,Cameron LNG JV liquefaction project beyond Phase 1. The permits obtained for Phase 2 include up to two additional liquefaction trains and $60 million is accrued as Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs asup to two additional full containment LNG storage tanks (one of March 31, 2019 on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.which was permitted with the original three-train project).
As of March 31, 2019, we recorded the expected recoveryExpansion of the cost estimate relatedCameron LNG liquefaction facility beyond the first three trains is subject to certain restrictions and conditions under the Leak of $477 million as Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon CostsJV project financing agreements, including among others, timing restrictions on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is net of insurance retentions and $566 million of insurance proceeds we received through March 31, 2019. The Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs and insurance proceeds received to date relate to portionsexpansion of the cost estimate described above, including temporary relocation and associated processing costs, control-of-well expenses, costsproject unless appropriate prior consent is obtained from the project lenders. Under the Cameron LNG JV equity agreements, the expansion of the government-ordered response for an independent third party to conduct a root cause analysis,project requires the costs to settle certain claims as described in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” in Note 11unanimous consent of all the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the estimated costs to perform obligations pursuant to settlement of some of those claims, legal costs and lost gas. If we were to conclude that this receivable or a portion of it is 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.
As described in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the actions seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, penalties and other costs, which, except for the amounts paid or estimated to settle certain actions, are not included in the cost estimate as it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the amount of damages, restitution or civil, administrative or criminal fines, penalties or other costs that may be imposed. The recorded amounts above also do not include future legal costs necessary to defend litigation, and other potential costs that we currently do not anticipate incurring or that we cannot reasonably estimate. Furthermore, the cost estimate does not include certain other costs incurred by Sempra Energy associated with defending against shareholder derivative lawsuits.
Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability
Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important for service reliability during peak demand periods,partners, including peak electric generation needs in the summer and heating needs in the winter. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, with a capacity of 86 Bcf (representing 63 percent of SoCalGas’ natural gas storage capacity), is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important element of SoCalGas’ delivery system. As a result of the Leak, SoCalGas suspended injection of natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility beginning in October 2015, and following a comprehensive safety review and authorization by DOGGR and the CPUC’s Executive Director, resumed limited injection operations in July 2017.
During the suspension period, SoCalGas advised the California ISO, CEC, CPUC and PHMSA of its concerns that the inability to inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility posed a risk to energy reliability in Southern California. Following the resumption of injection operations, the CPUC has issued a series of directives to SoCalGas specifying the range of working gas to be maintained in the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility to help ensure safety and reliability for the region and just and reasonable rates in California, the most recent of which, issued in July 2018, directed SoCalGas to maintain up to 34 Bcf of working gas. Limited withdrawals of natural gas from the facility were made in 2018 and 2019 to augment natural gas supplies during critical demand periods.
If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be 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 March 31, 2019, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $741 million. 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.

Natural Gas Pipeline Operations Safety Assessments
As we discuss in “Item 7. MD&A – Factors Influencing Future Performance” in the Annual Report, since 2011, the California Utilities have incurred costs related to the implementation of the CPUC’s directives to test or replace natural gas transmission pipelines that do not have sufficient documentation of a pressure test and to address retrofitting pipelines to allow for in-line inspection tools and, where appropriate, automated or remote controlled shut-off valves (referred to as PSEP).
As shown in the table below, SoCalGas and SDG&E have made significant pipeline safety investments under the PSEP program, and SoCalGas expects to continue making significant investments as approved through various regulatory proceedings. SDG&E’s PSEP program was substantially completed in 2017, with the exception of Line 1600, which we discuss in the table above. Both utilities have filed joint applications and plan to file future applications with the CPUC for review of the PSEP project costs as follows:

Senate Bill 901
On September 21, 2018, the Governor of California signed into law SB 901, which includes a number of measures primarily intended to address certain wildfire risks relevant to consumers and utilities and guidelines for the CPUC to determine whether utilities acted reasonably in order to recover costs related to wildfires. Among other things, SB 901 also contains provisions for utility issuance of recovery bonds with respect to certain wildfire costs, subject to CPUC approval, wildfire mitigation plans, and creationthe equity investment obligation of a commission to explore establishment of a fund and options for cost socialization with respect to catastrophic wildfires associated with utility infrastructure. SB 901 does not apply toeach partner. Discussions among all the wildfires in SDG&E’s service territory in 2007.
The CPUC initiatedCameron LNG JV partners have been taking place regarding how an OIR in October 2018 to implement the provisions of SB 901 related to electric utility wildfire mitigation plans. The OIR will provide guidance on the form and content of the initial wildfire mitigation plans, provide a venue for review of the initial plans, and develop and refine the content of and process for review and implementation of wildfire mitigation plans to be filed in future years. The electric utilities filed their proposed wildfire mitigation plans in February 2019, and the CPUC issued a proposed decision in April 2019 that approves the plan filed by SDG&E. The scope of the OIR is limited to only the wildfire mitigation plans required by SB 901 and does not include cost recovery. Pursuant to SB 901, in March 2019, the CPUC authorized each utility to establish a memorandum account to track the costs incurred to implement the plan. The costs recorded to the memorandum account shall be incremental to the utility’s authorized recovery and reviewed as part of the utility’s next GRC proceeding.
In April 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom’s Strike Force issued a report entitled “Wildfires and Climate Change: California’s Energy Future” (the Report), and Governor Newsom called for the California legislature to pass legislation to address the issues in the Report by mid-July 2019. The issues raised in the Report include, among others, three concepts designed to help address the imminent wildfire liability issues facing California’s utilities, including SDG&E: a liquidity-only fund, changing strict liability to a fault-based standard and a wildfire fund.
SB 901 did not change the doctrine of inverse condemnation, which imposes strict liability on a utility whose equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire (meaning that the utilityexpansion may be found liable regardless of fault). In their 2018 ratings actions for SDG&E, whichstructured and we discuss in “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk – Credit Ratings” in the Annual Report, each of Moody’s, Fitch Ratings and S&P indicated that the SDG&E rating downgrades reflected the failure of SB 901 to address the longer-term risks associated with inverse condemnation. Without further changes to the law or other reform,


the rating agencies believe that SDG&E is exposed to the potential of material liabilities if a major wildfire were to occur in its service territory and it was determined that its equipment was a cause of the fire.
SEMPRA TEXAS UTILITY
Pending Acquisitions
On October 18, 2018, Oncor entered into the InfraREIT Merger Agreement, whereby Oncor has agreed to acquire a 100 percent interest in InfraREIT and InfraREIT Partners for approximately $1,275 million, plus approximately $40 million for a management agreement termination fee, as well as other customary transaction costs incurred by InfraREIT that would be borne by Oncor as part of the acquisition. In addition, the transaction includes InfraREIT’s outstanding debt, which as of March 31, 2019 was approximately $946 million. Also on October 18, 2018, Oncor entered into the Asset Exchange Agreement, whereby SDTS has agreed to accept and assume certain electricity transmission and distribution-related assets and liabilities of SU in exchange for certain SDTS assets. Immediately prior to completing the exchange, SDTS would become a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of InfraREIT Partners.
On October 18, 2018, Sempra Energy entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement, whereby Sempra Texas Utilities Holdings I, LLC has agreed to acquire 50 percent of the economic interest in Sharyland Holdings, LP for approximately $98 million, subject to customary closing adjustments. In connection with and prior to the consummation of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Sharyland Holdings, LP would own 100 percent of the membership interests in SU and SU would convert into a limited liability company, expected to be named Sharyland Utilities, LLC. Upon consummation of the Securities Purchase Agreement, Sempra Texas Utilities Holdings I, LLC would indirectly own and account for its 50 percent interest in Sharyland Utilities, LLC as an equity method investment.
Consummation of these transactions is subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including the substantially concurrent consummation of these transactions and PUCT approval. In December 2018, early termination of the 30-day waiting period required by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, was granted. In March 2019, we received approval from the FERC and clearance from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. The acquisition of InfraREIT was approved by InfraREIT stockholders on February 7, 2019. We expect that the transactionsdiscussions will close in mid-2019.continue. There can be no assurance that Oncorthe Cameron LNG JV members will unanimously agree on an expansion structure, which, if not accomplished in a timely manner, could materially and adversely impact the development of the expansion project. In light of this, we are unable to predict whether or when Cameron LNG JV might be able to move forward on expansion of the Cameron LNG liquefaction facility beyond the first three trains.
In November 2018, Sempra Energy will deriveand TOTAL S.A. entered into an MOU that provides a framework for cooperation for the anticipated benefits from these acquisitions.

ECA LNG JV Liquefaction Export Project
Through a Costa Azul LNG Terminal
As we discuss in “Item 7. MD&A Factors Influencing Future Performance” in the Annual Report,JV agreement, Sempra LNG and IEnova are developing a proposed natural gas liquefaction project at IEnova’s existing regasification terminal at ECA.ECA LNG Regasification facility. The proposed liquefaction facility project, which we expect will be developedis planned for development in two phases (a mid-scale project referred to as ECA LNG JV Phase 1 and a large-scale project referred to as ECA LNG JV Phase 2), is being developed to provide buyers with direct access to west coast LNG supplies. The ECA LNG Regasification facility currently has profitable long-term regasification contracts for 100 percent100% of the regasification facility’s capacity through 2028, making the decisions on whether and how to pursue a newthe ECA LNG JV Phase 2 liquefaction facilityproject dependent in part on whether the investment in a newlarge-scale liquefaction facility would, over the long term, be more beneficial financially than continuing to supply regasification services under our existing contracts. We do not believe that the development of ECA LNG JV Phase 1 will disrupt operations at the ECA LNG Regasification facility.
In March 2019, ECA LNG JV received two authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from its ECA LNG JV Phase 1 project, a one-train natural gas liquefaction export facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 Mtpa and initial offtake capacity of approximately 2.5 Mtpa, and its ECA LNG JV Phase 2 projectsproject, each of which is in development.
On February 27, 2020, we entered into an EPC contract with TechnipFMC for the engineering, procurement and construction of ECA LNG JV Phase 1. We have no obligation to move forward on the EPC contract, and we may release TechnipFMC to perform portions of the work pursuant to limited notices to proceed. We plan to fully release TechnipFMC to perform all of the work to construct ECA LNG JV Phase 1 only after we reach a final investment decision with respect to the project and after certain other conditions are met. The ultimate participationtotal price of the EPC contract for ECA LNG JV Phase 1 is estimated at approximately $1.5 billion. We estimate that capital expenditures for ECA LNG JV Phase 1 will approximate $1.9 billion, including capitalized interest and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ, perhaps substantially, from our estimates.
In November 2018, Sempra LNG and IEnova signed Heads of Agreements with affiliates of TOTAL S.A., Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. for ECA LNG JV Phase 1 in respect of LNG sales of approximately 2.5 Mtpa in the potentialaggregate. In April 2020, ECA LNG project as contemplated by a HeadsJV executed definitive 20-year LNG sale and purchase agreements with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and an affiliate of Agreements signed in November 2018TOTAL S.A. for approximately 0.8 Mtpa of LNG and 1.7 Mtpa of LNG, respectively. Each agreement remains subject to finalizationcertain customary conditions of definitive agreements, among other factors. effectiveness, including our final investment decision for the project.
We continue to work towards reaching a final investment decision for ECA LNG JV Phase 1 in the second quarter of 2020. However, this project is contingent on the receipt of an export permit from the Mexican government. The closure of non-essential activities in Mexico in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has added to the uncertainty of the timing of the receipt of this permit and could delay our final investment decision beyond the second quarter of 2020.
The development of both the ECA LNG JV Phase 1 and ECA LNG JV Phase 2 projects is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including obtaining binding customer commitments;commitments for Phase 2; the receipt of a number of permits and regulatory approvals; obtaining financing; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including a definitive EPC contract for Phase 2, equity acquisition and governance agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply and transportation agreements; reaching a final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. In addition, as we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, an unfavorable decision on certain property disputes and permit challenges could materially and adversely affect the development of these projects. For a discussion of these risks, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.


SEMPRA RENEWABLES
As we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in April 2019, Sempra Renewables sold its remaining wind assets and investments for $584 million in cash, subject to working capital and other customary adjustments. Upon completion of the sale, remaining nominal business activities at Sempra Renewables were subsumed into Parent and other, and the Sempra Renewables segment ceased to exist.
SEMPRA LNG
Cameron LNG JV Three-Train Liquefaction Project
Construction on the current three-train liquefaction project began in the second half of 2014 under an EPC contract with a JV between CB&I, LLC (as assignee of CB&I Shaw Constructors, Inc.), a wholly owned subsidiary of McDermott International, Inc., and Chiyoda International Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chiyoda Corporation.
Large-scale construction projects like the design, development and construction of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction facility involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including among others, 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, which would cause further delays.
Based on a number of factors, we believe it is reasonable to expect that Cameron LNG JV will start generating earnings in mid-2019. These factors include, among others, the EPC contractor’s progress to date, the current commissioning activities, the remaining work to be performed, the project schedules received from the EPC contractor, Cameron LNG JV’s own review of the project schedules, the assumptions underlying such schedules, and the inherent risks in constructing and testing facilities such as the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction facility. 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 Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Proposed Additional Cameron Liquefaction Expansion
Cameron LNG JV has received the major permits and FTA and non-FTA approvals 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 includes 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 (one of which was permitted with the original three-train project).
Under the Cameron LNG JV financing agreements, expansion of the Cameron LNG JV facilities beyond the first three trains is subject to certain restrictions and conditions, including among others, timing restrictions on expansion of the project unless appropriate prior consent is obtained from 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. Discussions among the partners have been taking place regarding how an expansion may be structured. In July 2018, TOTAL S.A. acquired Engie S.A.’s interest in the Cameron LNG JV. In November 2018, Sempra Energy and TOTAL S.A. entered into an MOU that provides a framework for cooperation for the development of the potential Cameron LNG expansion project and the potential ECA liquefaction-export project that we describe above in “Sempra Mexico Energía Costa Azul LNG Terminal.” The MOU contemplates TOTAL S.A. potentially contracting for up to approximately 9 Mtpa of LNG offtake across these two development projects, though the ultimate participation of TOTAL S.A. remains subject to finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and TOTAL S.A. has no commitment to participate in the project. We expect that discussions on the potential expansion will continue among all the Cameron LNG JV members. There can be no assurance that a mutually agreeable expansion structure will be agreed upon unanimously by the Cameron LNG JV members, which if not accomplished in a timely manner, could materially and adversely impact the development of the expansion project. In light of this, we are unable to predict when we and/or Cameron LNG JV might be able to move forward on this expansion project.
The expansion of the Cameron LNG JV facilities beyond the first three trains is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including amending the Cameron LNG JV agreement among the partners, obtaining binding 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 “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
OtherPort Arthur LNG Liquefaction Development
Design, regulatory and commercial activities are ongoing for potential LNG liquefaction developments at our Port Arthur, Texas site and at Sempra Mexico’s ECA 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 ArthurProject
Sempra LNG is developing a proposed natural gas liquefaction project on a greenfield site that it owns in the vicinity of Port Arthur, Texas, located along the Sabine-Neches waterway.
In April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the Port Arthur liquefaction facility, along with certain natural gas pipelines that could be used to supply feed gas to the liquefaction facility, assuming the project is completed.
Sempra LNG received authorizations from the DOE in August 2015 and May 2019 that collectively permit the LNG to be produced from the proposed Port Arthur LNG project to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries.
In June 2018,April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction facility, along with certain natural gas pipelines, including the Louisiana Connector Pipeline, that could be used to supply feed gas to the liquefaction facility, assuming the project is completed.
On February 28, 2020, we selectedentered into an EPC contract with Bechtel Corporation as the EPC contractor for the proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project. The EPC contract contemplates the construction of two liquefaction trains with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13.5 Mtpa, two LNG storage tanks, a marine berth and associated loading facilities and related infrastructure necessary to provide liquefaction services. We have no obligation to move forward on the EPC contract, and we may release Bechtel Corporation is to perform portions of the engineering, execution planningwork pursuant to limited notices to proceed. We plan to fully release Bechtel to perform all of the work to construct the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project only after we reach a final investment decision with respect to the project and related activities necessaryafter certain other conditions are met, including obtaining project financing. If we issue the full notice to prepare, negotiate and finalize a definitiveproceed by July 15, 2020, the price under the fixed-price EPC contract for the project. The current arrangement with Bechtel Corporationis estimated to be approximately $8.9 billion. This does not commit any partyinclude costs associated with changes to enter into a definitivethe project’s scope or the occurrence of certain events that would entitle Bechtel to relief under the contract, including customary events for similar agreements of this type such as force majeure events, certain changes in law, the discovery of certain differing site conditions, and certain delays to the work that we may cause. If we issue the full notice to proceed after July 15, 2020, the price will be subject to price escalations. If the full notice to proceed is not issued by October 15, 2020, then the EPC contract, or otherwise participate inincluding the project.price, will be subject to renegotiation. Any changes to the EPC contract will require the agreement of both parties, which cannot be assured.
In December 2018, Polish Oil & Gas Company (PGNiG) and Port Arthur LNG entered into a definitive 20-year agreement for the sale and purchase of 2 Mtpa of LNG per year.year from the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project. Under the agreement, LNG purchases by PGNiG from Port Arthur LNG will be made on a free-on-board basis, with PGNiG responsible for shipping the LNG from the Port Arthur terminalfacility to the final destination. Port Arthur LNG will manage the gas pipeline transportation, liquefaction processing and cargo loading. The agreement is subject to certain conditions precedent, including Port Arthur LNG making a positive final investment decision.decision within certain agreed timelines. The failure of these conditions precedent to be satisfied or waived within the agreed timelines could result in the termination of the agreement.
In May 2019, Aramco Services Company and Sempra LNG signed a Heads of Agreement for the negotiation and finalization of a definitive 20-year LNG sale and purchase agreement for 5 Mtpa of LNG offtake. The Heads of Agreement also includes the negotiation and finalization of a 25% equity investment in the project. In January 2020, Aramco Services Company and Sempra LNG signed an Interim Project Participation Agreement, which sets forth certain mechanisms for the parties to work towards receipt of corporate approvals to enter into and proceed with the transaction, execution of the transaction agreements and the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions precedent contemplated by these agreements, making a final investment decision and other pre-final investment decision activities. The Heads of Agreement and Interim Project Participation Agreement do not obligate the parties to ultimately execute any agreements or participate in the project.
In February 2020, Sempra LNG filed a FERC application for the siting, construction and operation of a second phase at the proposed Port Arthur LNG facility, including the potential addition of two liquefaction trains.
In November 2019, Port Arthur LNG commenced the relocation and upgrade of approximately three miles of highway where the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project would be located.
We continue to work on completing all necessary milestones so that we are prepared to make a final investment decision for the proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project when appropriate. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and the current uncertainty in the financial and energy markets has delayed the expected timing of our final investment decision from 2020 to 2021.
Development of the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including obtaining additional customer commitments; completing the required commercial agreements, such as equity acquisitions and governance agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply and transportation 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. SeeFor a discussion of these risks, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.

Discontinued Operations
As we discuss Sempra LNG’s participation in potential LNG liquefaction development at Sempra Mexico’s ECA facility above in “Sempra Mexico – Energía Costa Azul LNG Terminal.”
LITIGATION
We describe legal proceedings that could adversely affect our future performance in Note 115 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements, in January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses. On April 24, 2020, we completed the sale of our equity interests in our Peruvian businesses for an aggregate base purchase price of $3.59 billion, subject to post-closing adjustments. In October 2019, we entered into an agreement to sell our equity interests in our Chilean businesses for an aggregate base purchase price of $2.23 billion, subject to customary adjustments for working capital and changes in net indebtedness and other adjustments. We expect the sale to close in the second quarter of 2020, subject to satisfaction of conditions to closing.
Our utilities in South America have historically provided relatively stable earnings and liquidity. We intend to use the proceeds from the sales to focus on capital investment in North America to support additional growth opportunities and strengthen our balance sheet by reducing debt. We expect the cash provided by earnings from our capital investment will exceed the absence of cash flows from these discontinued operations. However, there can be no assurance that we will derive these anticipated benefits. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to redeploy the capital that we obtain from such sales, if completed, in a way that would result in cash flows or earnings exceeding those historically generated by these businesses.

The amounts and timing of capital expenditures and certain investments are generally subject to approvals by various regulatory and other governmental and environmental bodies, including the CPUC, the FERC and the PUCT. Excluding discontinued operations, in 2020, we expect to make capital expenditures and investments of approximately $5.7 billion, a decrease from the $5.9 billion summarized in “Item 7. MD&A – Capital Resources and Liquidity” in the Annual Report. The decrease is primarily attributable to Phase 1 of the ECA LNG JV liquefaction export project at Sempra LNG.

InterestAn interest rate risk sensitivity analysis measures interest rate risk by calculating the estimated changes in earnings that would result from a hypothetical change in market interest rates. Earnings are affected by changes in interest rates on short-term debt and variable long-term debt. If weighted-average interest rates on short-term debt outstanding at March 31, 20192020 increased or decreased by 10 percent,10%, the change in earnings over the next 12-month period ended March 31, 20202021 would be approximately $8$14 million. If interest rates increased or decreased by 10 percent10% on all variable-rate long-term debt at March 31, 2019,2020, after considering the effects of interest rate swaps, the change in earnings over the next 12-month period ended March 31, 20202021 would be approximately $3$2 million.
CREDIT RATINGS
The credit ratings of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas remained at investment grade levels in the first three months of 2019. At March 31, 2019:
Moody’s issuer rating was Baa1 with a negative outlook for Sempra Energy, Baa1 with a negative outlook for SDG&E and A1 with a stable outlook for SoCalGas;
S&P’s issuer credit rating was BBB+ with a negative outlook for Sempra Energy, BBB+ with a negative outlook for SDG&E and A with a negative outlook for SoCalGas; and
Fitch Ratings’ long-term issuer default rating was BBB+ with a stable outlook for Sempra Energy, BBB+ with a negative outlook for SDG&E and A with a stable outlook for SoCalGas.


Our credit ratings may affect the rates at which borrowings bear interest and the commitment fees on available unused credit. A downgrade of Sempra Energy’s or any of its subsidiaries’ credit ratings or rating outlooks may result in 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 Energy, SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra Energy’s other subsidiaries to issue debt securities, to borrow under credit facilities and to raise certain other types of financing.
We provide additional information about the credit ratings of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk – Credit Ratings” in the Annual Report.
Sempra Energy 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 is rated A2, A+ and A at Moody’s, S&P and Fitch Ratings, respectively, at March 31, 2019.
FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATE RISK
We discuss our foreign currency and inflation exposure in “Item 2. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” hereinin this report and in “Item 7. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in the Annual Report. At March 31, 2019,2020, there were no significant changes to our exposure to foreign currency rate risk since December 31, 2018.2019.

When evaluating our company and its subsidiaries, we urge you toshould consider carefully consider the risksrisk factors and all other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,report, including the factors discussed above in “Item 2. MD&A” and in this section, and in the riskother documents we file with the SEC, including the factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report. ThereExcept as set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in the Annual Report. Any of the risksrisk factors and other information discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Qreport or any of the risksrisk factors disclosed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report, as well as additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial, could materially and adversely affect our businesses, cash flows, results of operations, financial condition, prospects and/or the trading prices of our securities or those of our subsidiaries.
Risks Related to All Sempra Energy Businesses
Our business faces risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic is currently materially impacting countries, communities, supply chains and markets around the world. The U.S. economy is experiencing a significant slowdown and claims for unemployment are increasing to historic levels. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on our results of operations. However, we are conducting business with substantial modifications to employee travel, employee work locations, and virtualization or cancellation of certain business activities, among other modifications. If these or other similar measures were to increase or continue for an extended period, we could experience employee absenteeism, decreased efficiency and productivity by our workforce and other similar impacts that could jeopardize our ability to sustain operations and satisfy compliance requirements. We also have observed other companies, including our current and prospective counterparties, customers and partners, as well as many governments, including our regulators and other governing bodies that affect our businesses, taking precautionary, preemptive and responsive actions to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and they may take further actions that alter their normal operations. These actions by third parties could impact our operations, results, liquidity and ability to pursue capital projects and strategic initiatives. For example, the CPUC has requested that all energy companies under its jurisdiction take action to implement several emergency customer protection measures to support California customers. The measures apply to all residential and small business customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and include suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment, waiving late payment fees, and offering flexible payment plans for all customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. These actions could result in a material reduction in payments received from our customers and a material increase in uncollectible accounts that we may not be able to recover in rates, which could have a material adverse effect on the cash flows, financial condition and results of operations for Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas.
In addition, the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, together with the increase of the supply of oil in world markets, has caused a material and unprecedented decline in oil prices and the demand for energy. These conditions, as well as potential disruptions of construction and development activity if our project counterparties implement or are required to implement stay-at-home or limited workforce measures in response to the pandemic, could result in increased competition among LNG project developers and substantial delays of some of our LNG and other projects currently under development. With respect to Phase 1 of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction project currently under construction, although the project is considered a critical infrastructure project and is 99.5% complete, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic could cause unanticipated delays in completing the project.
Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected conditions in the capital markets and may adversely affect our cost of and access to capital, including from the capital markets generally, from commercial paper markets and from commercial banks. Although Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas are not currently constrained in any significant way in their ability to borrow money at reasonable rates, these circumstances could change if conditions worsen or continue for an extended period, which could have a material negative effect on our results of operations and on our strategic initiatives and prospects. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a slowdown of our capital spending, which could worsen if conditions deteriorate or fail to improve in the near term and which could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ results of operations and prospects.
We will continue to actively monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers. However, we cannot at this time predict the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will further impact our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
