SEMPRA ENERGY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1. GENERAL


PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Sempra Energy

Sempra Energy's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Sempra Energy, a California-based Fortune 500 holding company, and its consolidated subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (VIE). Sempra Energy’s principal subsidiaries are

§San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) and Southern Californi a Gas Company (SoCalGas), which we collectively refer to as the Sempra Utilities; and

§Sempra Global, which is the holding company for Sempra Commodities, Sempra Generation, Sempra Pipelines & Storage, and Sempra LNG. 

§  San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas), which we collectively refer to as the Sempra Utilities; and
§  Sempra Global, which is the holding company for Sempra Generation, Sempra Pipelines & Storage and Sempra LNG.
Sempra Energy uses the equity method to account for investments in affiliated companies over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control. We discuss our investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries in Note 4 below and Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Annual Report.

year ended December 31, 2010.

SDG&E

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

Pacific Enterprises and SoCalGas

The

Pacific Enterprise’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Pacific Enterprises include the accounts of Pacific Enterprises (PE) and its subsidiary, SoCalGas.  Sempra Energy owns all of PE’s common stock and PE owns all of SoCalGas’ common stock. SoCalGas’ Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include its subsidiaries, which comprise less than one percent of its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

PE's operations consist solely of those of SoCalGas and additional items (e.g., cash, intercompany accounts and equity) attributable to serving a sas a holding company for SoCalGas.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

This is a combined report of Sempra Energy, SDG&E, PE and SoCalGas. We provide separate information for SDG&E, PE and SoCalGas as required. In the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (except in Note 11), when only information for SoCalGas is provided, it is the same for PE. References in this report to "we," "our" and "Sempra Energy Consolidated" are to Sempra Energy and its consolidated entities, unless otherwise indicated by the context. We have eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions within the consolidated financial statements of each reporting entity.

We have prepared the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and in accordan ceaccordance 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. We evaluated events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 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, 2010 balance sheet information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been derived from our audited 2010 consolidated financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the interim-period-reporting provisions of GAAP and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
You should read the information in this Quarterly Report in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20092010 (the Annual Report), and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010, which areis a combined reportsreport for Sempra Energy, SDG&E, PE and SoCalGas.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financia lFinancial Statements in the Annual Report. We follow the same accounting policies for interim reporting purposes, except for the adoption of new accounting standards as we discuss in Note 2.

purposes.

The Sempra Utilities and Sempra Pipelines & Storage's Mobile Gas Service Corporation and Ecogas Mexico, S de RL de CV prepare their financial statements in accordance with GAAP provisions governing regulated operations, as we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Orange Grove Energy L.P.

SDG&E has a 25-year tolling agreement to purchase power generated by Orange Grove Energy L.P. (Orange Grove) at its 99-megawatt (MW) generating facility located in San Diego County, California. Under a tolling agreement, SDG&E purchases power generated by facilities for which it supplies all of the natural g as to fuel the power plant. In the third quarter of 2009, Sempra Energy and SDG&E determined that Orange Grove was a VIE and that SDG&E was the primary beneficiary of the VIE based on the criteria in GAAP as written at that time and applicable through December 31, 2009. Sempra Energy and SDG&E therefore consolidated Orange Grove beginning in the third quarter of 2009 through December 31, 2009.

In the first quarter of 2010, Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-17, “Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities” (ASU 2009-17), which we discuss in Note 2 below, became effective. Applying the guidance in ASU 2009-17, because of SDG&E’s obligation to absorb the natural gas costs for the fuel to operate the facility, along with the power to direct the dispatch, Sempra Energy and SDG&E continued to consolidate Orange Grove in the first quarter of 2010.

In the second quarter, Sempra Energy and SDG&E reevaluated the provisions of ASU 2009-17 as they apply to Orange Grove. Sempra Energy and SDG&E determined that because the Orange Grove facility is a peaker plant, it operates infrequently to meet peak power needs. We believe that the owners of Orange Grove retain the most significant economic power through their control over operations and maintenance of the plant, which impacts the capacity payments under the agreement that are expected to have the greatest effect on the overall economic performance of the entity.  Accordingly, SDG&E does not have the right to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Orange Grove, and Sempra Energy and SDG&E should not consolidate Orange Grove, but instead should record the agreement as a capital lease. The effect of this change has no effect on Sempra Energy’s or SDG&E’s earnings and is not material to their previously issued financi al statements.

Presentation of Restricted Cash

In Sempra Energy’s previously issued financial statements, we presented all restricted cash as a current asset on the balance sheet. At both September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $27 million of restricted cash represents funds held in trust for construction financing of certain natural gas storage facilities of Sempra Pipelines & Storage. Because this restricted cash will be expended for construction of long-lived assets, we have concluded that these amounts should be presented as a noncurrent asset.  At September 30, 2010, this restricted cash is presented as Restricted Cash under Investments and Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We believe that the effect of presentation of restricted cash is not material to the previously issued balance sheets and have not corrected the classification of the restricte d cash amount at December 31, 2009. The presentation of restricted cash on the balance sheet has no impact on earnings or cash flows for any period presented.




NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We describe below


There are no recent accounting pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelatedrelated to our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures.

SEMPRA ENERGY, SDG&E, PE AND SOCALGAS

ASU 2009-17, "Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities" (ASU 2009-17): ASU 2009-17 amends Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (FIN 46(R)), which provides consolidation guidance related to variable interest entities. 

ASU 2009-17 amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 810, Consolidation, and requires

§a qualitative approach for identifying the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity based on 1) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity, and 2) the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could be significant to the entity;

§ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; and

§separate disclosure by the primary beneficiary on the face of the balance sheet to identify 1) assets that can only be used to settle obligations of the variable interest entity, and 2) liabilities for which creditors do not have recourse to the primary beneficiary.

We adopted ASU 2009-17 on January 1, 2010 and it did not have a material effect on earnings, nor on presentation on the interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for Sempra Energy and SDG&E. We provide the required additional disclosure in Note 5. ASU 2009-17 did not impact PE’s nor SoCalGas’ condensed consolidated financial statements. 

ASU 2010-06, "Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements" (ASU 2010-06):ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and requires the following additional fair value measurement disclosures:

§transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2

§segrega tion of classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value

§valuation techniques and inputs used for Level 2 and Level 3 instruments

§detailed activity for Level 3 instruments, including separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements

We adopted ASU 2010-06on January 1, 2010, and we provide the additional disclosure in Note 8.




NOTE 3. RECENT INVESTMENT ACTIVITY


SEMPRA PIPELINES & STORAGE

Acquisition

In the three months ended March 31, 2010, Sempra Pipelines & Storage contributed $65 million to Rockies Express, a joint venture to own and operate the Rockies Express Pipeline. The contribution was the last required for the construction phase of Mexican Pipeline and Natural Gas Infrastructure

the project.

On April 30, 2010, Sempra Pipelines & Storage completed anthe acquisition resulting in the purchase of the Mexican pipeline and natural gas infrastructure assets of El Paso Corporation for $307 million ($292 million, net of cash acquired).

The acquisition consists of El Paso Corporation’s wholly owned natural gas pipeline and compression assets in the Mexican border state of Sonora and its 50-percent interest in a joint venture with PEMEX, the Mexican state-owned oil company. The joint venture operates two natural gas pipelines and a propane system in northern Me xico. The acquisition expands our scale and geographic footprint in a strong growth region in Mexico. The pipeline assets are backed substantially by long-term contracts with a history of consistent revenue streams, allowing us to expand our natural gas infrastructure business in northern Mexico.


The following table summarizes the consideration paid in the acquisition and the recognized amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at April 30, 2010:

The goodwill, which represents the residual of the consideration paid over the identifiable net assets, is assigned to the Sempra Pipelines & Storage segment and is attributed to the strategic value of the transaction.  None of the goodwill recorded is deductible in Mexico for income tax purposes.

Included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are revenues and earnings of $4 million and $12 million, respectively, for the period May 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010 related to the assets acquired from El Paso Corporation, including revenues and earnings of $3 million and $7 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Proforma impacts on revenues and earnings for Sempra Energy had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 20092010 were immaterial.

Natural Gas Storage Projects

additional revenues and earnings of $2 million and $6 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

We provide information about Sempra Pipelines & Storage’s Sempra Midstream owned 60 percent of Mississippi Hub, LLC (Mississippi Hub) through December 31, 2008recent investment activity in Chile and on January 16, 2009, purchased the remaining 40-percent ownership interest for $94 millionPeru in cash.

Available-for-Sale Securities

In June 2009, SDG&E remarketed $176 million


We provide additional information concerning all of its industrial development bonds at a fixed rate of 5.875 percent, maturing in 2034. Prior to SDG&E's remarketing, SDG&E purchased $152 million of the bonds from Sempra Energy. We discuss these bonds furtherour equity method investments in Note 64 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

RBS SEMPRA COMMODITIES

RBS Sempra Commodities LLP (RBS Sempra Commodities) is a United Kingdom limited liability partnership formed in the United Kingdom to ownthat owned and operate theoperated commodities-marketing businesses previously operated through wholly owned subsidiaries of Sempra Energy.businesses. We account for our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities under the equity method, and report our share of partnership earnings in Parent and Other.
We and our partner in the joint venture, The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), sold substantially all of the partnership’s businesses and assets in four separate transactions completed in July, November and December of 2010 and February of 2011. We expect our share of remaining proceeds to approximate $779 million, the amount of our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities segment.

Excludingas of March 31, 2011.

On April 15, 2011, we and RBS entered into a letter agreement (Letter Agreement) which amended certain provisions of the impairment charge discussed below,agreements that formed RBS Sempra Commodities.  The Letter Agreement addresses the wind-down of the partnership and the distribution of the partnership’s remaining assets.  In accordance with the Letter Agreement, we received a $329 million distribution on April 15, 2011.  This distribution included sales proceeds and our portion of 2010 distributable income totaling $357 million, less amounts to settle certain liabilities that we owed to RBS of $28 million.  The Letter Agreement affirms that RBS Sempra Commodities will consider additional distributions of capital after taking into account various factors including available cash, the need for prudent reserves, potential payouts to the purchasers of the partnership’s businesses, and any accrued or projected future operating losses or other wind-down expenses of the partnership.  The availability of cash is also impacted by the transfer of trading accounts to JP Morgan, one of the buyers in the sales transactions.  These transfers and the related collection of accounts receivable and net margin continue as planned, and will be done as promptly as practicable during 2011.  Future distributions will generally be made 51 percent to RBS, and 49 percent to us. The Letter Agreement also allows RBS Sempra Commodities to make capital calls to us, subject to certain limits, if necessary to support the remaining operations, for other liabilities or for other payments owed in connection with the sales transactions (subject to additional limitations).

For the three months and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010, we recorded a pretax equity loss of $8 million and earnings of $24 million and $15$7 million, respectively, from RBS Sempra Commodities. Pretax equity earnings from
We discuss the RBS Sempra Commodities were $105 millionsales transactions and $384 million forother matters concerning the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The partnership income that is distributable to us on an annual basis is computed on the partnership's basis of accounting, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, our share of distributable income, on an IFRS basis, was $22 million and $53 million, respectively. In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, our share of distributable income, on an IFRS basis, was $60 million and $276 million, respectively. In the second quarter of 2010, we received the remaining distribution of 2009 partnership income of $198 million. In the first nine months of 2009, we received cash distributions from the partnership of $407 million. We discuss the equity method investment in RBS Sempra Commodities further in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

TEMPORARY LIFO LIQUIDATION
SoCalGas values natural gas inventory by the joint venture, The Royal Bank of Scotland (RB S), announced its intention to divest its interest in RBS Sempra Commodities in connection with a directive fromlast-in first-out (LIFO) method. As inventories are sold, differences between the European Commission to dispose of certain assets. In February 2010, Sempra Energy, RBSLIFO valuation and the partnership entered into an agreement with J.P. Morgan Ventures Energy Corporation (J.P. Morgan Ventures), a unit of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JP Morgan), for J.P. Morgan Ventures to purchaseestimated replacement cost are reflected in customer rates. Temporary LIFO liquidation represents the global metals and oil businesses and the European natural gas and power business from the joint venture. This transaction was completed on July 1, 2010, and we received the majority of the proceeds in early July 2010 and the remainder in September 2010. The purchase price was $1.6 billion, and our share of the proceeds was approximately $1 billion, including distributions of 2009 partnership income attributable to the businesses sold, which were $134 million of the $198 million in distributions we received in April 2010.

This sale to J.P. Morgan Ventures did not include RBS Sempra Commodities' North American power and natural gas trading businesses and its retail energy solutions business. In September 2010, Noble Group Ltd. (Noble Group) agreed to acquire the U.S. retail commodity marketing business of the RBS Sempra Commodities joint venture for $318 million in cash, plus assumption of all debt, and the transaction closed on November 1, 2010. In October 2010, J.P. Morgan Ventures agreed to purchase, subject to regulatory approval, most of the remaining assets of RBS Sempra Commodities for approximately $220 million. The assets to be sold include the joint venture’s wholesale natural gas and power trading agreements, as well as over-the-counter and exchange-traded transactions, with counterparties across North America. The counterparties include natural gas producers, pipeline and storage providers, power plants, regasification facilities, utilities and municipal customers. The sale is expected to close before year-end and will complete the divestiture of the remaining principal assets of RBS Sempra Commodities.

We expect our share of the proceeds from the sales of all of the partnership businesses and related cash distributions to total $1.8 billion to $1.9 billion. This includes approximately $1.3 billion expected from the announced transactions, plus $500 million to $600 million consisting primarily of cash and accounts receivable, as well as net margin that is expected to be collected as customers are transferred to JP Morgan. The transfer of all accounts to JP Morgan will be done as soon as possible following closing, but is expected to continue into 2011.

Projected cash distributions from RBS Sempra Commodities are net of expected transition costs and are not expected to fully recover the goodwill included indifference between the carrying value of our investment innatural gas inventory withdrawn during the partnership. Accordingly, we recorded a pretax non-cash charge of $305 million ($139 millio n after-tax)period for delivery to customers and the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 to reduce our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities. This charge is included in Equity Earnings (Losses) from RBS Sempra Commodities LLP on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities was significantly impacted by unobservable inputs (i.e., Level 3 inputs) as defined by the accounting guidance for fair value measurements, which we discuss below in Note 8. The inputs included estimated future cash distributions expected from the partnership, excluding the impact of costs anticipated for transactions that have not closed as of September 30, 2010. The investment balance of $825 million at September 30, 2010 reflects our portionprojected cost of the partnership’s earnings, distributions received from the partnership and the non-cash charge to bring the investment to fair value.

SEMPRA PIPELINES & STORAGE

In the first quarter 2010, Sempra Pipelines & Storage contributed $65 million to Rockies Express, a joint venture to own and operate the Rockies Express Pipeline, to complete the construction phasereplacement of the project. Sempra Pipelines & Storage contributed $315 million and $527 million in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. We discuss this investment in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements i n the Annual Report.

Sempra Pipelines & Storage owns 43 percent of two Argentine natural gas utility holding companies, Sodigas Pampeana and Sodigas Sur. The Argentine economic decline and government responses (including Argentina’s unilateral, retroactive abrogation of utility agreements early in 2002) continue to adversely affect the operations of these Argentine utilities. In 2002, Sempra Pipelines & Storage initiated arbitration proceedings at the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) under the 1994 Bilateral Investment Treaty between the United States and Argentina for recovery of the diminution of the value of its investments that has resulted from Argentine governmental actions. In September 2007, the tribunal awarded us compensation of $172 million, which included interest up to the award date. In January 2008, Argentina filed an action at the ICSID seeking to annul the award. In June 2010, the Annulment Commi ttee granted Argentina’s petition for annulment of the award. This action did not impact our earnings, as we did not record the original award pending assurance of collectability. On November 3, 2010, Sempra Pipelines & Storage resubmitted arbitration proceedings against Argentina before the ICSID on the same and similar grounds as the 2002 filing.

In a separate but related proceeding related to our political risk insurance policy, we negotiated a $48 million settlement that was collected in September 2010. The proceeds from the settlement are reported in Other Income, Net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

We continue to actively pursue the sale of our investments in the two Argentine companies. In September 2010, we concluded that, although the ICSID claim had been annulled as discussed above, rate increases soug ht in Argentina would continue to be delayed. We believe this continued uncertainty has impacted the fair value of our net investment in the two Argentine companies, and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $24 million, which is reported in Equity Earnings (Losses), Net of Income Tax, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Sodigas Pampeana and Sodigas Sur fair value was significantly impacted by unobservable inputs (i.e., Level 3 inputs) as defined by the accounting guidance for fair value measurements, which we discuss below in Note 8. The inputs included discount rates and estimated future cash flows. Such cash flows considered the value of those businesses with positive cash flows, the value of the non-operating assets, and the probability-weighted value of anticipated rate increases, considering both the timing and magnitude of such increases.

SEMPRA GENERATION

Sempra Generation and BP Wind Energy currently hold 50-percent ownership interests in Fowler Ridge II Wind Farm LLC (Fowler Ridge), a joint venture which operates a 200-MW wind farm project located in Benton County, Indiana. As of December 2009, Sempra Generation had invested $235 million in the joint venture.  In August 2010, Sempra Generation received a $180 million return of capital from Fowler Ridge. We discuss this further in Note 6 below and provide additional information in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

(VIE)

We consolidate a VIE if we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s activities.VIE. Our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary is based upon 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 right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.  

§  the purpose and design of the VIE;
§  the nature of the VIE's risks and the risks we absorb;
§  the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and
§  the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.
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 upon our analysis, the ability to direct the dispatch of electricity may have the most significant impacts 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)(1) is obligated t oto purchase and provide fuel to operate the facility, 2)(2) has the power to direct the dispatch, and 3)(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 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, Sempra Energy and SDG&E consolidate the entity that owns the facility as a VIE, as we discuss below.


Otay Mesa VIE

SDG&E has a 10-year agreement to purchase power generated at the Otay Mesa Energy Center (OMEC), a 605-MW generating facility that began commercia lcommercial operations in October 2009. In addition to tolling, the agreement provides SDG&E with the option to purchase the power plant at the end of the contract term in 2019, or upon earlier termination of the purchased-power agreement, at a predetermined price subject to adjustments based on performance of the facility. If SDG&E does not exercise its option, under certain circumstances, it may be required to purchase the power plant at a predetermined price.

The facility owner, Otay Mesa Energy Center LLC (OMEC LLC), is a VIE (Otay Mesa VIE), of which SDG&E is the primary beneficiary.  SDG&E has no OMEC LLC voting rights 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. Sempra Energy and SDG&E have consolidated Otay Mesa VIE since the second quarter of 2007, and have continued to con solidate it through the third quarter of 2010.2007. Otay Mesa VIE's equity of $107$119 million at September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and $146$113 million at December 31, 20092010 is included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other Noncontrolling Interests for Sempra Energy and in Noncontrolling Interest for SDG&E.

OMEC LLC has a loan outstanding of $367$362 million at September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, the proceeds of which were used for the construction of OMEC. The loan is with third party lenders and is secured by OMEC's property, plant and equipment. SDG&E is not a party to the loan agreement and does not have any additional implicit or explicit financial responsibility to OMEC LLC. The loan fully matures in April 2019 and bears interest at rates varying with market rates. In addition, OMEC LLC has entered into interest rate swap agreements to moderate its exposure to interest rate changes. We provide additional information concerning the interest rate swaps in Note 7.

Other Variable Interest Entities

SDG&E's power procurement is subject to reliability requirements that may require SDG&E to enter into various power purchase arrangements which include variable interests. SDG&E evaluates these contracts 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. SDG&E has determined that no contracts, other than that relating to Otay Mesa VIE mentioned above, result in SDG&E being the primary beneficiary.beneficiary as of March 31, 2011. In addition to the tolling agreements described above, other variable interests involve various elements of fuel and power costs, including certain construction costs, tax credits, and other components of cash flow expected to be paid to or received by our counterparties. In most of these cases, the expectation of variability is not subs tantial,substantial, and SDG&E generally does not have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the other VIEs. If our ongoing evaluation of these VIEs were to conclude that SDG&E becomes the primary beneficiary and consolidation by SDG&E becomes necessary, the effects are not expected to significantly affect the financial position, results of operations, or liquidity of SDG&E. 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.

Sempra Energy’s other business units also enter into arrangements which could include variable interests.  We evaluate these contracts based upon the qualitative and quantitative analyses described above.  We have determined that these contracts are not variable interests in a VIE and therefore are not subject to the requirements of ASU 2009-17.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table pr ovidesprovides the per share computations for our earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.2010. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilution of common stock equivalent shares that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

The dilution from common stock options is based on the treasury stock method. Under this method, proceeds based on the exercise price plus unearned compensation and windfall tax benefits orand minus tax shortfalls related to the options are assumed to be used to repurchase shares on the open market at the average market price for the period. The windfall tax benefits are tax deductions we would receive upon the assumed exercise of stock options in e xcessexcess of the deferred income taxes we recorded related to the compensation expense on the stock options. Tax shortfalls occur when the assumed tax deductions are less than recorded deferred income taxes. The calculation excludes options for which the exercise price on common stock was greater than the average market price during the period. We had 2,132,9752,120,225 and 2,158,5282,180,900 such stock options outstanding during the three months and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
We had 1,505,09610,800 and 1,507,361 such9,900 stock options outstanding during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

We had 10,800March 31, 2011 and 8,407 stock options outstanding during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, that were anti-dilutiveantidilutive because of the unearned compensation and windfall tax benefits included in the assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method. We had 890,781 such anti-dilutive stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and none for the three months ended September 30, 2009.     

The dilution from unvested restricted stock awards (RSAs) and restricted stock units (RSUs) is also based on the treasury stock method. Assumed proceeds equal to the unearned compensation and windfall tax benefits orand minus tax shortfalls related to the awards and units are assumed to be used to repurchase shares on the open market at the average market price for the period. The windfall tax benefits or tax shortfalls are the difference between tax deductions we would receive upon the assumed vesting of restricted stock awards and unitsRSAs or RSUs and the deferred income taxes we recorded related to the compensation expense on the restricted stocksuch awards and units. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we had 997,609 RSUs that were antidilutive because of the unearned compensation and windfall tax benefits included in the assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method. There were no such anti-dilutive restrictedantidilutive RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and no such antidilutive RSAs for the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010.
Because our RSAs and RSUs are performance based, they are included in potential dilutive shares at zero to 100 percent and zero to 150 percent, respectively, to the extent that they currently meet the performance requirements for vesting, subject to the application of the treasury stock awards or units during any period presented.

method. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, 762,592 shares related to RSU grants were excluded from potential dilutive shares, as the performance goal had not been met for these grants. The remaining 1,597,632 shares related to RSU grants were included at 70 to 88 percent, and 26,733 shares related to the RSA grants were included at 100 percent. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, 2,353,535 shares related to RSU grants were included in potential dilutive shares at 150 percent, and 850,349 shares related to RSA grants were included at 100 percent based on the applicable performance threshold.

COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In September 2010, we entered into a Collared Accelerated Share Acquisition Programshare repurchase program under which we prepaid $500 million to repurchase shares of our common stock in a share forward transaction. The program was completed in March 2011 with a total number of 9,574,435 shares purchased (subject to a minimumrepurchased at an average price of 8,078,000 shares and maximum of 10,321,889 shares) will be determined by dividing the $500 million purchase price by the volume-weighted average trading prices of shares of our common stock during a valuation period, minus a fixed discount and subject to a minimum and maximum price set during a hedging period. The program may extend into the first quarter of 2011.

$52.22 per share. Our outstanding shares used to calculate earnings per share arewere reduced by the number of shares repurchased when they arewere delivered to us, and the $500 million purchase price was recorded as a reduction in shareholders’ equity upon its prepayme nt.prepayment. We received 5,670,006 shares during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, and2010; 2,407,994 shares on October 4, 2010.2010 and 1,496,435 shares on March 22, 2011. We will receive any additional repurchased shares abovediscuss the minimum at the endrepurchase program further in Note 13 of the valuation period, which will continue untilNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the program is completed.

Annual Report.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We discuss our share-based compensation plans in Note 109 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. We recorded share-based compensation expense, net of income taxes, of $4$6 million and $7 million for both the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009, and $17 million and $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Pursuant to our share-based compensation plans, we granted 687,600 non-qualified stock options and 773,616999,200 restricted stock units and 11,876 restricted stock awards during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, primarily in Jan uary 2010.

Includes (losses) gains of $(3) million and $11 million for the three mo nths and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and losses of $6 million and $5 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, related to a natural gas sales agreement with RBS Sempra Commodities which is subject to mark-to-market accounting. Under this agreement, which extends for five years beginning September 1, 2009, RBS Sempra Commodities will market natural gas that Sempra LNG purchases and does not sell under other contracts.

 

WRITE-OFF OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In the second quarter of 2009, we recorded a pretax write-off of $132 million related to certain assets at one of Sempra Pipelines & Storage’s Liberty Gas Storage natural gas storage projects. Sempra Pipelines & Storage owns a 75-percent interest in the partnership that is developing the project. Our partner’ s 25-percent share of the pretax charge was $33 million, which is included in Losses Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The impact to our net income and to our earnings was $97 million and $64 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. We discuss this write-off further in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Changes in Effective Income Tax Rates

Sempra Energy Consolidated

The changedecrease in the effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 was primarily due to:

§higher planned investment tax credits;

§higher exclusions from taxable income of the equity portion of AFUDC; and

§higher pretax income (including a $175 million gain related to our share of the RBS Sempra Commodities sale to J.P. Morgan Ventures on July 1, 2010) in countries with lower statutory rates; offset by

§$11 million state income tax expense related to our exit from the RBS Sempra Commodities business;

NOTE 6. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES


COMMITTED LINES OF CREDIT

At September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, Sempra Energy Consolidated had $4.3$3.8 billion in committed lines of credit to provide liquidity and to support commercial paper and variable-rate demand notes, the major components of which we detail below. Available unused credit on these lines at September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 was $3.4$2.8 billion. In October 2010, we entered into new credit agreements to replace our previous principal credit agreements. The new agreements have a longer term and, in light of our exit from the commodities joint venture which we discuss in Note 4, a lower credit commitment by $500 million (at Sempra Global).

Sempra Energy

In October 2010,

Sempra Energy entered intohas a new $1 billion, four-year syndicated revolving credit agreement expiring in October 2014, replacing the previous $1 billion three-year credit agreement scheduled to expire in 2011.2014. Citibank, N.A. serves as administrative agent for the syndicate of 23 lenders. No single lender has greater than a 7-percent share.

Borrowings bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with market index rates and Sempra Energy's credit ratings. The facility requires Sempra Energy to maintain a ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in the agreement) of no more than 65 percent at the end of each quarter. The facility also provides for issuance of up to $400 million of letters of credit on behalf of Sempra Energy with the amount of borrowings otherwise available under the facility reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit.

Under the previous credit agreement at September 30, 2010,

At March 31, 2011, Sempra Energy had no$26 million of variable-rate demand notes outstanding borrowings supported by the facility.

Sempra Global

In October 2010,

Sempra Global entered intohas a new $2 billion, four-year syndicated revolving credit agreement expiring in October 2014, replacing the previous $2.5 billion three-year credit agreement scheduled to expire in 2011.2014. Citibank, N.A. serves as administrative agent for the syndicate of 23 lenders. No single lender has greater than a 7-percent share.

Sempra Energy guarantees Sempra Global’s obligations under the credit facility. Borrowings bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with market index rates and Sempra Energy’s credit ratings. The facility requires Sempra Energy to maintain a ratio of total indebt ednessindebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in the agreement) of no more than 65 percent at the end of each quarter.

Under the previous credit agreement at September 30, 2010,

At March 31, 2011, Sempra Global had $7 million of letters of credit outstanding, $38 million of variable-rate demand notes outstanding, and $574$766 million of commercial paper outstanding supported by the facility.

At March 31, 2011, $200 million of the commercial paper outstanding is classified as long-term debt based on management’s intent and ability to maintain this level of borrowing on a long-term basis either supported by this credit facility or by issuing long-term debt.

Sempra Utilities

In October 2010,

SDG&E and SoCalGas entered intohave a new combined $800 million, four-year syndicated revolving credit agreement expiring in October 2014, replacing the previous $800 million three-year credit agreement scheduled to expire in 2011.2014. JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as administrative agent for the syndicate of 22 lenders. No single lender has greater than a 7-percent share. The agreement permits each utility to individually borrow up to $600 million, subject to a combined limit of $800 million for both utilities. It also provides for the issuance of letters of credit on behalf of each utility subject to a combined letter of credit commitment of $200 million for both utilities. The amount of borrowings otherwise available under the facility is reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit.

Borrowings under the facility bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with market index rates and the borrowing utility's credit rating.ratings. The agreement requires each utility to maintain a ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in the agreement) of no more than 65 percent at the end of each quarter.

Each utility’s obligations under the agreement are individual obligations, and a default by one utility would not constitute a default by the other utility or preclude borrowings by, or the issuance of letters o fof credit on behalf of, the other utility.

Under the previous credit agreement at September 30, 2010,

At March 31, 2011, SDG&E and SoCalGas had no outstanding borrowings and SDG&E had $25$237 million of letters of credit outstanding and $237 million variable-rate demand notes outstanding supported by the facility. Available unused credit on the lines at September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 was $338$363 million at SDG&E and $538$563 million at SoCalGas; SoCalGas' availability reflects the impact of SDG&E's use of the combined credit available on the line.

GUARANTEES

RBS Sempra Commodities

As we discuss in Note 4, in 2010 and early 2011, Sempra Energy, RBS and RBS Sempra Commodities have completedsold substantially all of the sale of certain businesses and assets within the partnership and there is one pending transaction for the sale of the remaining pri ncipal assets expected to close before year-end.in four separate transactions. In connection with each of these transactions, the buyers are, subject to certain qualifications, obligated to replace any guarantees that we have issued in connection with the applicable businesses sold with guarantees of their own. During the process of replacing these guarantees, the guarantees, theybuyers are obligated to indemnify us in accordance with the applicable transaction documents for any claims or losses in connection with the guarantees that we issued in connection with the businesses sold.guarantees. With respect to the transaction with Noble Group, for those guarantees that Noble Group is not able to replace, we have agreed to allow Noble Group to continue trading under such guarantees until June 1, 2011.

We have indemnified the partnership for certain litigation and tax liabilities related to the businesses purchased by the partnership.partnership from us. We recorded these obligations at a fair value of $5 million on April 1, 2008, the date we formed the partnership. This liability is beingwas amortized over its expected life. Certain of these obligations may be remeasured when the indemnity is reissued to the buyers of the Sempra Commodities businesses.

RBS is obligated to provide RBS Sempra Commodities with allcertain of its working-capital requirements and credit support. However, as a transitional measure, we continue torequirements. We provide back-up guarantees for a portion of RBS Sempra Commodities’ remaining trading obligations. Some of these back-up guarantees may continue for a prolonged period of time. RBS which is controlled by the government of the United Kingdom, has fully indemnified us for any claims or losses in connection with these arrangements.

arrangements, with the exception of those obligations for which JP Morgan has agreed to indemnify us. We discuss the indemnification release in Note 4.

RBS Sempra Commodities’ net trading liabilities supported by Sempra Energy’s guarantees at September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 were $561$286 million, consisting of guaranteed trading obligations net of collateral. Th eThe amount of guaranteed net trading liabilities varies from day to day with the value of the trading obligations and related collateral.

Other Guarantees

Sempra Energy, Conoco Phillips (Conoco) and Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (KMP) currently hold 25-percent, 25-percent and 50-percent ownership interests, respectively, in Rockies Express. Rockies Express operates a natural gas pipeline linking natural gas producing areas in the Rocky Mountain region to the upper Midwest and the eastern United States. In April 2010, Rockies Express’ $2 billion, five-year credit facility expiring in May 2011 that provided for revolving extensions of credit guaranteed by Sempra Energy, Conoco and KMP in proportion to their respective ownership percentages was reduced to $200 million, and Sempra Energy, Conoco and KMP were released from their guarantor obligations. Long-term debt of $1.7 billion i ssued in March 2010 was used to pay down the credit facility; this new debt is not separately guaranteed by the partners.

Sempra Generation and BP Wind Energy currently hold 50-percent ownership interests in Fowler Ridge.Ridge II. In August 2010, Fowler Ridge II obtained a $348 million term loan expiring in August 2022. The proceeds were used to return $180 million of each owner’s investment in the joint venture. The loan agreement requires Sempra Generation and BP Wind Energy to return cash to the project in the event that the project does not meet certain cash flow criteria or in the event that the project’s debt service and operation and maintenance reserve accounts are not maintained at specific thresholds. Sempra Generation recorded a liability of $9 million for the fair value of its obligation associated with the cash flow requirements, which constitutes a guarantee. This liability is being amortized over its expected life. The outstanding loan is not separately guaranteed by the partners. We provide additional information a bout the investment in Note 4 above and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE INTEREST RATES

The weighted average interest rates on the total short-term debt outstanding at Sempra Energy were 0.390.49 percent and 0.790.46 percent at September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009,2010, respectively. The short-term debt outstandingweighted average interest rates at SDG&E atboth March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009 was a non-interest bearing loan at Orange Grove.

2010 include commercial paper borrowings classified as long-term, as we discuss above.

LONG-TERM DEBT

In August 2010, SDG&EMarch 2011, Sempra Energy publicly offered and sold $500 million of 4.50-percent first mortgage bonds,2-percent notes and $300 million of floating rate notes (1.069 percent as of March 31, 2011), both maturing in 2040.

In May 2010, SDG&E publicly2014. The floating rate notes bear interest at a rate equal to the three-month London interbank offered and sold $250 million of 5.35-percent first mortgage bonds, maturing in 2040.

SDG&E has two power purchase agreements with peaker plant facilities that went into commercial operation in June 2010 and are accounted for as capital leases. As of September 30, 2010, capital lease obligations for these leases, each with a 25-year term, were $181 million.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS

We discuss our fair value interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps to hedge cash flows in Note 7.




NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FI NANCIALFINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


We use derivative instruments primarily to manage exposures arising in the normal course of business. These exposures are commodity market risk and benchmark interest rate risk. We may also manage foreign exchange rate exposures using derivatives. 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 that could lead to declines in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, or that our asset values may fall or our liabilities 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 presented below.

We record all derivatives at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We designate each derivative as 1)(1) a cash flow hedge, 2)(2) a fair value hedge, or 3)(3) undesignated. Depending on the applicability of hedge accounting and, for the Sempra 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 other comprehensive income (cash flow hedge), on the balance sheet (fair value hedges and regulatory offsets), or recognized in earnings. We classify cash flows from the settlements of derivative instruments as operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.

In certain cases, we apply the normal purchase or sale exception to derivative accounting 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.

HEDGE ACCOUNTING

We may designate a derivative as a cash flow hedging instrument if it effectively converts anticipated revenues or expenses to a fixed dollar amount. We may utilize cash flow hedge accounting for derivative commodity 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 a given future revenue or expense item may vary, and other criteria.

We may designate an interest rate derivative as a fair value hedging instrument if it effectively converts our own debt from a fixed interest rate to a variable rate. The combination of the derivative and debt instruments results in fixing that portion of the fair value of the debt that is related to benchmark interest rates. Designating fair value hedges is dependent on the instrument being used, the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetti ngoffsetting changes in the fair value of our debt instruments, and other criteria.

ENERGY DERIVATIVES

Our market risk is primarily related to natural gas and electricity price volatility and the specific physical locations where we transact. We use energy derivatives to market energy products and 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.

§The Sempra Utilities use natural gas energy derivatives, on their customers' behalf, with the objective of managing price and basis risks and lowering natural gas costs. These derivatives include fixed price natural gas positions, options, and basis risk instruments, whi ch are either exchange-traded or over-the-counter financial instruments. This activity is governed by risk management and transacting activity plans that have been filed with and approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Natural gas 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 congestion revenue rights (CRRs), which serve to reduce the regional electricity price volatility risk which 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 are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

§Sempra Generation uses natural gas and electricity instruments to market energy products and optimize the earnings of its power generation fleet. Gains and losses associated with these derivatives are recognized in Sempra Global and Parent Revenues or in Cost of Natural Gas, Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

§Sempra LNG and Sempra Pipelines & Storage use natural gas derivatives to market energy products and optimize the earnings of the liquefied natural gas business and Sempra Pipelines & Storage's natural gas storage and transportation asse ts. Sempra Pipelines & Storage also uses natural gas energy derivatives with the objective of managing price risk and lowering natural gas prices at its Mexican distribution operations. Sempra Pipelines & Storage’s derivatives are either undesignated or are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and are recovered in rates. The impacts on earnings are recognized in Sempra Global and Parent Revenues or in Cost of Natural Gas, Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Sempra LNG’s derivatives are undesignated and their impact on earnings is recorded in Sempra Global and Parent Revenues on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

§From time to time, our various businesses, including the Sempra Utilities, may use other energy derivatives to hedge exposures such as the price of vehicl e fuel.

§  The Sempra Utilities use natural gas energy derivatives, on their customers' behalf, with the objective of managing price risk and basis risks, and lowering natural gas costs.

Sempra LNG’s derivatives are undesignated, and their impact on earnings is recorded in Sempra Global and Parent Revenues on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
§  From time to time, our various businesses, including the Sempra Utilities, may use other energy derivatives to hedge exposures such as the price of vehicle fuel.

purchases and sales.

INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES

We are exposed to interest rates primarily as a result of our current and expected use of financing. We periodically enter into interest rate derivative agre ementsagreements intended to moderate our exposure to interest rates and to lower our overall costs of borrowing. We utilize interest rate swaps typically designated as fair value hedges, as a means to achieve our targeted level of variable rate debt as a percent of total debt. In addition, we may utilize interest rate swaps, which are typically designated as cash flow hedges, to lock in interest rates in anticipation of future financings.

Interest rate derivatives are utilized by the Sempra Utilities as well as by other Sempra Energy subsidiaries. Although the Sempra Utilities generally recover borrowing costs in rates over time, the use of interest rate derivatives is subject to certain regulatory constraints, and the impact of interest rate derivatives may not be recovered from customers as timely as described above with regard to natural gas derivatives. Accordingly, interest rate derivatives are generally accounte daccounted for as hedges at the Sempra Utilities, as at the rest of Sempra Energy's subsidiaries. Separately, Otay Mesa VIE has entered into interest rate swap agreements to moderate theirits exposure to interest rate changes.

Gains reclassified into earnings due to changes in cash requirements and associated impacts on forecasted interest payments, primarily related to proceeds received from RBS Sempra Commodities. See Note 4.


Sempra Energy expects that losses of $5$10 million, which are net of income tax benefit, that are currently recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months as the hedged items affect earnings. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to earnings depend on the commodity prices and interest rates in effect when derivative contracts that are currently outstanding mature. The maximum term over which RBS Sempra Commodities hedges forecasted natural gas purchases and sales is 63 months.

SDG&E and SoCalGas expect that losses of $6$4 million and $2$1 million, respectively, which are net of income tax benefit, that are currently recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to these cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months as the hedged items affect earnings.

CONTINGENT FEATURES

For Sempra Energy and SDG&E, , certain of our derivative instruments contain credit limits which vary depending upon our credit ratings. Generally, these provisions, if applicable, may reduce our credit limit if a specified credit rating agency reduces our rating.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, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position at September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 is $5 million. As of September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, if the credit ratings of Sempra Energy and SDG&E were both reduced below investment grade, $5 million of additional assets could be required to be posted as collateral for these derivative contracts.

For SDG&E, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position at September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 is $2 million. As of September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, if the credit ratings of SDG&E were reduced below investment grade, $2 million of additional assets could be required to be posted as collateral for these derivative contracts.

For Sempra Energy, SDG&E, PE 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 contract.contracts. Such additional assurance, if needed, is not material and is not included in the amounts above.

Net unrealized gains (losses) are included in Regulatory Liabilities Arising from Removal Obligations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We determine the cost of securities in the trusts on the basis of specific identification.


Derivative Positions Net of Cash Collateral

Each Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects the offsetting of net derivative positions with fair value amounts for cash collateral with the same counterparty when management believes a legal right of offset exists.

The following table provides the amount of fair value of cash collateral receivables that were not offset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009:

Fair Value Hierarchy

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 Notes 1 and 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. We have not changed the valuation techniques or inputs we use to measure fair value during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010.

March 31, 2011.

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 as of September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2009.2010. We also discuss our financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. 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 asses smentassessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities, and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The fair value of commodity derivative assets and liabilities is determined in accordance with our netting policy, as discussed above under "Derivative Positions Net of Cash Collateral."

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).

We discussprovide detail about our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis further in Note 1211 of the Notes to Consolida tedConsolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

POWER PROCUREMENT AND RESOURCE PLANNING

Sunrise Powerlink Electric Transmission Line

In December 2008, the CPUC issued a final decision authorizing SDG&E to construct a 500-kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line between the Imperial Valley and the San Die go region (Sunrise Powerlink). This line is designed to provide 1,000 MW of increased import capability into the San Diego area. This CPUC decision approved SDG&E’s request to construct the Sunrise Powerlink along a route that would generally run south of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. The decision also approves the environmental impact review conducted jointly by the CPUC and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and establishes a total project cost cap of $1.9 billion, including approximately $190 million for environmental mitigation costs. In January 2009, the BLM issued its decision approving the project, route and environmental review.

The CPUC decision requires SDG&E to adhere to certain commitments it made during the application process, as follows:

§not to contract, for any length of term, with conventional coal g enerators to deliver power via the Sunrise Powerlink;

§if any currently approved renewable energy contract that is deliverable via the Sunrise Powerlink fails, to replace it with a viable contract with a renewable generator located in the Imperial Valley region; and

 §voluntarily raise SDG&E's Renewables Portfolio Standard Program goal (discussed below under "Renewable Energy") to 33 percent by 2020.

After the issuance by the CPUC of its final decision, the Utility Consumers Action Network (UCAN) and the Center for Biological Diversity/Sierra Club (CBD) applied for rehearing of the final decision. After the CPUC denied t hese rehearing applications, in August 2009, UCAN and the CBD jointly filed a petition with the California Supreme Court challenging the CPUC's decision with regard to implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). UCAN also filed a petition with the California Court of Appeal (Court of Appeal) challenging the decision on other legal grounds, which the Court of Appeal denied in August 2010. The UCAN/CBD appeal will be addressed by the California Supreme Court now that the Court of Appeal has dismissed UCAN's first petition.

In addition, three appeals of the BLM decision were filed with the Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA) by individuals, a community organization, and the Viejas Indian tribe. The Viejas Indian tribe withdrew its appeal and the IBLA denied the other two appeals.

Opponents who filed the BLM appeals also filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court for declarato ry and injunctive relief regarding Sunrise Powerlink. The complaint alleges that the BLM failed to properly assess the environmental impacts of the approved Sunrise Powerlink route and the related potential development of renewable resources in east San Diego County and Imperial County. The complaint requests a declaration that the BLM violated federal law in approving Sunrise Powerlink and an injunction against any construction activities.  On October 25, 2010, the court granted SDG&E's motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety for want of standing; the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on November 5, 2010.

In September 2010, the CPUC and BLM jointly approved the final Project Modification Report, accepting all of the proposed modifications to the approved route and finding that no additional environmental studies are required. In October 2010, the United States Forest Service (USFS) issued a decision rejecting all pending appeals and rea ffirming its July 2010 decision approving the segment of Sunrise Powerlink's route within its jurisdiction. The USFS is expected to issue a special use permit to SDG&E by year-end, which will allow SDG&E to begin construction on USFS land. On October 22, 2010, the CBD and the plaintiffs in the Federal District Court suit against BLM filed an application for rehearing with the CPUC challenging its approval of the Project Modification Report. The CPUC summarily rejected this application for rehearing as contrary to the CPUC's rules. On October 25, 2010, the BLM federal court plaintiffs filed an appeal with the IBLA challenging the BLM's approval of the Project Modification Report. This appeal was accompanied by a motion for a stay of construction of the project, which SDG&E opposed on November 4 2010. SDG&E will also oppose the IBLA appeal.

Sunrise Powerlink costs will be recovered in SDG&E's Electric Transmission Formula Rate, where SDG&E must demonstrate to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that such costs were prudently incurred.

The total amount invested by SDG&E in the Sunrise Powerlink project as of September 30, 2010 was $447 million, which is included in Property, Plant and Equipment on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of Sempra Energy and SDG&E. SDG&E expects the Sunrise Powerlink to be in commercial operation in the second half of 2012.

We provide additional information concerning Sunrise Powerlink in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

The rules governing this requirem ent,requirement, administered by both the CPUCCalifornia Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the California Energy Commission (CEC), are generally known as the Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) Program. In September 2009,April 2011, the Governor of California issued an Executive Ordersigned Senate Bill X1 2 (2011 RPS Program) which, set a target forwhen in effect, will supersede the RPS Program and require each California utility to procure 33 percent of theirits annual electric energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2020. This Executive Order designates the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as the agency responsible for establishing the compliance rules2020, with an average of 20 percent required from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013; 25 percent by December 31, 2016; and regulations under CARB's Assembly Bill 32 authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. In September 2010, CARB adopted a requirement known as the California Renewable Energy Standard (RES), which obligates California utilities to procure 33 percent by December 31, 2020. We expect the 2011 RPS Program to become effective in the second quarter of their annual electric energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2020. CARB has not yet issued the final version of formal regulations articulating the requirement or detailing how the RES2011, and certain implementation details will be implemented.

In 2008,addressed by the CPUC issued a decision definingCPUC.

The 2011 RPS Program contains new flexible compliance mechanisms, more restrictive than the prior mechanisms, that can be used to defer compliancecomply with or meet the 2011 RPS Program mandates in 20102011 and beyond. The decision established thatnew mechanisms provide for a CPUC waiver under certain conditions, including: 1) a finding byof inadequate transmission or 2) delays in the CPUCstart-up of insufficient transmission is a permissible reason to defer compliance with the RPS Program mandates. This decision also confirmed that anycommercial operations of renewable energy procured in excess of the established targets for prior years, currently and in the future, could be appliedprojects due to any procurement shortfalls in the years 2010 and beyond.

permitting or interconnection.

SDG&E continues to procure renewable energy supplies to achieve the 2011 RPS Program goals and the Executive Order/RES requirements. A substantial number of these supply contracts, however, are contingent upon many factors, including:

§access to electric transmission inf rastructure (including SDG&E's Sunrise Powerlink transmission line);

§

§  access to electric transmission infrastructure;
§  timely regulatory approval of contracted renewable energy projects;
§  the renewable energy project developers' ability to obtain project financing and permitting; and
§  successful development and implementation of the renewable energy technologies.
For 2010, SDG&E satisfied its RPS procurement requirements through a combination of contracted renewable energy projects;

§the renewable energy project developers' ability to obtain project financingdeliveries and permitting; and

 §successful development and implementationapplication of the renewable energy technologies.

flexible compliance mechanism, including the application of certain mechanisms that are no longer available under the 2011 RPS Program. For 2011 and beyond, SDG&E believes it will be able to comply with the 2011 RPS Program requirements based on its contracting activity and, if necessary, application of the new flexible compliance mechanisms. SDG&E's failure to comply with the RPS Program requir ements in 2010, or in any subsequent years,requirements could subject it to a CPUC-imposed penalty of 5 cents per kilowatt hour of renewable energy under-delivery up to a maximum penalty of $25 million per year. A determination regarding RES compliance is not possible at this time, as program details are not yet known.

Solar Photovoltaic Program

The CPUC issued a decision in September 2010 approving a new solar photovoltaic (PV) program for SDG&E. Under the adopted program, SDG&E may develop up to 100 MW of solar PV in its service area, consisting of up to 26 MW of utility owned generation and up to 74 MW of purchased power from independent producers. Individual project size may range up to 5 MW. Over the 5-year program, SDG&E will be allowed to spend up to $100 million in capital costs for the systems it owns, based on an overall cost cap of $3.50 per watt, including a 10-percent contingency factor. A cost cap of $235 per MWh will apply to purchased power under the program.

East County Substation

In August 2009, SDG&E filed an application with the CPUC for authorization to proceed with the East County Substation Project, which will include construction of a new 500/230/138-kV substation, rebuilding of the existing Boulevard Substation and construction of a new 138-kV transmission line connecting the two substations. The project, estimated to cost approximately $280 million, would allow interconnections from new renewable-generation sources and enhance the reliability of electric service to a number of communities. The CPUC and BLM have agreed to prepare a joint environmental impact report and environmental impact statement. A CPUC decision on this project is expected in 2011.

GENERAL RATE CASE (GRC)

The CPUC uses a general rate case proceeding to prospectively set rates sufficient to allow the Sempra Utilities to recover their reasonable cost of operations and to provide the opportunity to realize an acceptable ratetheir authorized rates of return on their investments. Theinvestment. In December 2010, the Sempra Utilities filed their Notices of Intent (NOI) for the 2012 General Rate Case (2012 GRC)(GRC) applications to establish their authorized 2012 revenue requirements and the ratemaking mechanisms by which those requirements will change on an annual basis over the subsequent three-year (2013-2015) period. The CPUC issued a ruling in August 2010. These NOIs are preliminaryMarch 2011 setting the proceeding scope and schedule that projected a final CPUC decision around the month of March 2012 and granted the utilities' requests to establish regulatory accounts to allow recovery of their authorized 2012 revenue requirements retroactive to January 1, 2012.
We provide further detail about the GRC applications that propose revenue requirement increases of $246 million for SDG&E and $282 million for SoCalGas over their respective 2011 authorized revenue. These increases would equate to increases in rates of 7 percent for SDG&E and 7.4 percent for SoCalGas over their 2010 rates. In October 2010, the CPUC staff completed its reviewNote 15 of the NOIs and acceptedNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the proposed filings, enabling both SDG&E and SoCalGas to file their final applications in mid-December 2010. The CPUC is scheduled to issue a decision on each of the final applications in late 2011, with changes in rates to become effective on January 1, 2012.

A number of parties have asked the CPUC to delay the filing of SDG&E's and SoCalGas' next GRC applications for at least a year. To date, the CPUC has denied all such requests and has ordered SDG&E and SoCalGas to follow their original GRC schedules.

Annual Report.

UTILITY INCENTIVE MECHANISMS

The CPUC applies performance-based measures and incentive mechanisms to all California utilities, under which the Sempra Utilities have earnings potential above authorized base margins if they achieve or exceed specific performance and operating goals.

We provide additional information regarding these incentive mechanisms in Note 1615 of the Notes to Consolidat edConsolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, and updates below.

Natural Gas Procurement

In JanuaryJune 2010, SoCalGas applied to the CPUC approvedfor approval of a Gas Cost Incentive Mechanism (GCIM) award of $6 million for natural gas procured for our core customers during the 12-month period ending March 31, 2010. SoCalGas expects a CPUC decision in the third quarter of 2011.
In the first quarter of 2010, SoCalGas recorded a GCIM award of $12 million for SoCalGas' procurement activities during the 12-month period ending March 31, 2009. In June 2010, SoCalGas applied to2009, approved by the CPUC for approval of a GCIM award of $6 million for SoCalGas' procurement activities during the 12-month period ending March 31,in January 2010. SoCalGas expects a CPUC decision in 2011.

Energy Efficiency

In December 2009, the

The CPUC awarded $0.3 million and $2.1 million, net of a 35 percent holdback pending a final true-up in 2010, to SDG&E and SoCalGas, respectively, for their performance during the 2006 – 2008 program period. In February 2010, the Sempra Utilities filed a petition with the CPUC to correct errors in the computation of the awards. If adopted, the changes would increase the awards by $0.4 million for SDG&E and $1.3 million for SoCalGas, net of the 35 percent holdback.

An Administrative Law Judge draft decision and a Commissioner alternate decision were issued in September 2010 regarding the final true-up of the energy efficiencyestablished incentive earnings for the 2006 – 2008 program period. The draft decision rulesmechanisms that no additional incentive payments are warranted for the final true-up of incentive earnings. The alternate decision approves additional incentive awards of $6 million for SDG&E and $3.9 million for SoCalGas for the final true-up of the amounts held back for prior years' awards, but makes no determination on the petition to correct errors. A final decision is expected by the end of 2010.

COST OF CAPITAL

A cost of capital proceeding determines the Sempra Utilities' authorized capital structure and the authorized rate of return that the Sempra Utilities may earn on their electric and natural gas distribution and electric generation assets.

In January 2010, the CPUC approved SDG&E's and the Division of Ratepayer Advocates' (DRA) joint petition to delay SDG&E's next scheduled cost of capital proceeding for two years. With this approval, SDG&E's next cost of capital application is scheduled to be filed in April 2012 for a 2013 test year, consistent with the schedule for cost of capital applications for each of Southern California Edison (Edison) and Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E).

In addition to establishing the authorized rate of return, a cost of capital proceeding also addresses market-based benchmarks to be monitored to determine whether an adjustment to the established authorized rate of return is required during the interim years between cost of capital proceedings. SDG&E’s cost of capital benchmark is based on the 12-month average monthly A-rated utility bond yield as published by Moody’s for the 12-month period October through September of each fiscal year. If this 12-month average falls outside of the range of 5.02 percent to 7.02 percent, SDG&E’s authorized rate of return would be adjusted, upward or downward, by one-half of the difference between the 12-month average and 6.02 percent (SDG&E’s benchmark interest rate), effective January 1 following the year in which the benchmark range was exceeded.

SoCalGas’ cost of capital trigger mechanism identifies two conditions for determining whether a change in the authorized rate of return is required. Both conditions are based on the 30-year Treasury Bond Yields – one beingeffectiveness of energy efficiency and demand side management programs. The Sempra Utilities plan to file requests with the most recent 12-month rolling average yield andCPUC in June 2011 for any incentive awards for the second being the corresponding 12-month forecasted rolling yield on 30-year Treasury Bonds as published by Global Insights. If both interest rates fall outside a range of 3.88 percent to 6.88 percent, SoCalGas’ authorized rate of return would be adjusted, upward or downward, by one-half of the difference between the historical 12-month rolling average yield and 5.38 percent (SoCalGas' benchmark interest rate), effective January 1 following the2009 program year in which both conditions were exceeded.

At September 30, 2010, neither SDG&E’s nor SoCalGas’ benchmark ranges have been exceeded.

ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE

In April 2010, the C PUC issuedwith a decision approving SoCalGas' applicationexpected in 2012. The CPUC is also considering modifications to upgrade approximately six million natural gas meters with an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), subjectthe incentive mechanism that would apply to certain safeguards to better ensure its cost effectiveness for ratepayers. The approved cost of the project is $1.05 billion (including approximately $900 million2012 – 2014 program period. We expect a decision on these program modifications in capital investment), with SoCalGas being subject to risk/reward sharing for costs above or below this amount. Installation of the meters is expected to begin in late 2012 and continue through 2017.

In May 2010, The Utility Reform Network (TURN) and the Utility Workers Union of America (UWUA) Local 132, parties opposing SoCalGas' AMI application, filed an application for rehearing of the CPUC's decision. The application for rehearing is still pending.  

2011.

SDG&E REQUEST FOR AUTHORITY TO INVEST IN WIND FARM

In July 2010, SDG&E filed a request with the CPUC seeking authority to make a tax equity investment in the holding company of a wind farm project in an amount not to exceed $600 million.project. In April 2011, SDG&E is seeking to treat the investment asfiled a rate-based asset for which it would earn its authorized rate of return. A CPUC decision is expected in 2011.

If approved bysettlement agreement with the CPUC andresolving all issues with the parties in the proceeding. If the CPUC approves the settlement agreement as filed, SDG&E would make an investment, after the wind farm project has met all of the conditions precedent set forth in the definitive documents SDG&E would invest in one or more project holding companies in an amount not to exceed 80% of the project costs (not to exceed an aggregate amount of $600 million)and upon the initiation of commercial operation of the project.project, which would be included in the utility’s rate base in an amount not to exceed 64.99 percent of the project costs or an aggregate amount of $250 million. SDG&E expectswould also make an incremental investment, to be excluded from the utility’s rate base, of no less than 10 percent of the project costs. We expect a CPUC decision on the settlement agreement in mid-2011, and the project to be in commercial operation in the second half of 2012.

2007 WILDFIRES

INSURANCE COST RECOVERY FOR COMPANY FACILITIES

In October 2010, the CPUC issued a decision approving a settlement agreement between SDG&E and the DRA, authorizing SDG&E to recover $43 million of capital costs incurred to replace and repair company facilities under CPUC jurisdiction damaged by the October 2007 wildfires. This decision was in response to an application that

SDG&E filed with the CPUC in March 2009 seeking to recover $49.8 million of incremental costs ($43 million of capital costs and $6.8 million of operation and maintenance costs), which application was protested by the DRA.

SDG&E also incurred $30.1 million of incremental costs for the replacement and repair of company facilities under FERC jurisdiction, which are currently being recovered in SDG&E's electric transmission rates.

We discuss recovery of 2007 wildfire litigation costs in Note 10.

INSURANCE COST RECOVERY

SDG&E filed an applicationa request with the CPUC in August 2009 seeking authorization to recover higher liability insurance premiums (amounts in excess of those authorized to be recovered in the 2008 GRC), which SDG&E began incurring commencing July 1, 2009, and any losses realized due to higher deductibles associated with the new policies. Evidentiary hearings were heldSDG&E requested a $29 million revenue requirement for the incremental increase in April its general liability and wildfire liability insurance premium costs for the 2009/2010 policy period and proposed a final CPUC decision is expected bymechanism for recovery of future liability insurance costs incurred in the end2010/2011 policy period and the first six months of 2010.the 2011/2012 policy period. SDG&E made the filing under the CPUC’s rules allowing utilities to seek recovery of significant cost increases incurred between GRC filings resulting from unforeseen circumstances. SDG&E is requesting a $29 million revenue requirement for the 2009/2010 policy period for the incremental increase in its liability and wildfire insurance premium costs above what is currently authorized in rates and proposes a mechanism for recovery of future liability insurance costs incurred in the 2010/2011 policy period and the first six months of the 2011/2012 policy period. The CPUC's rules allow a utility to seek recovery of incurred costs that meet certain criteria, subject to a $5 million deductible per event. SDG&E has asked thatIn December 2010, the increase in liability insurance costsCPUC approved SDG&E’s request for the 2009/2010,$29 million revenue requirement, which was implemented in rates effective January 1, 2011, and authorized SDG&E to request recovery of any incremental insurance premiums for future policy periods, with a $5 million deductible applied to each policy renewal period. SDG&E filed a request in April 2011 for an incremental revenue requirement of $63 million for the 2010/2011 andpolicy period. We expect a CPUC decision on the request in the second half of 2011. SDG&E also plans to file a request in the third quarter of 2011 for any incremental insurance premiums incurred for the first six months of the 2011/2012 policy periods be deemed a single event subject to one $5 million deductible. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, SDG&E's after-tax earnings were adversely impacted by $20 million and $5 million, respectively, due to the incremental insurance premiums associated with its wildfire coverage.

EXCESS WILDFIRE CLAIMS COST RECOVERY

SDG&E and SoCalGas filed an application, along with other related filings, with the CPUC in August 2009 proposing a new mechanism for the future recovery of all wildfire-related expenses for claims, litigation expenses and insu ranceinsurance premiums that are in excess of amounts authorized by the CPUC for recovery in rates. In connection with these filings, SDG&E is seeking the recovery of costs incurred by SDG&E for the 2007 wildfire losses that are in excess of amounts recovered from its insurance coverage and other potentially responsible third parties, as well as similar costs for future wildfires, if and when incurred. TheThis application for a new mechanism for recovery of costs incurred for future wildfires was made jointly with Southern California Edison (SCE) and PG&E.Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). In July 2010, the CPUC approved the utilities'SDG&E's and SoCalGas' requests for separate regulatory accounts to record the subject expenses while the joint utility application is pending before the CPUC. Several parties protested the original application and, in response, the four utilities jointly submitted an amended application in JulyAugust 2010. A proceeding schedule hasFebruary 2011 ruling directing the utilities to show cause why the application should not yet been established.

be dismissed was stayed to permit continued settlement discussions between the four utilities and the CPUC and with the other parties to the proceeding.

SDG&E will also seek the recovery of costs incurred by SDG&E for the 2007 wildfire losses that are in excess of amounts recovered from its insurance coverage and other potentially responsible third parties. SDG&E believes that the approval of a new mechanism for cost recovery for future wildfires will provide a framework for discussions on recovery of these costs.

NATURAL GAS PIPELINE OPERATIONS SAFETY ASSESSMENTS
As a result of recent natural gas pipeline explosions in the U.S., including the September 2010 rupture in San Bruno, California of a natural gas pipeline owned and operated by PG&E (the San Bruno incident), various regulatory agencies, including the CPUC, are evaluating natural gas pipeline safety regulations, practices and procedures.
In February 2011, the CPUC opened a forward-looking proceeding to examine what changes should be made to existing pipeline safety regulations for California natural gas pipelines. The Sempra Utilities are parties to this proceeding. The CPUC also appointed an independent review panel to make recommendations for possible actions by the CPUC in light of the San Bruno incident. Those recommendations may include changes to design, construction, operation and maintenance practices of natural gas facilities in California. The report of the independent review panel is expected in the second quarter of 2011.
In January 2011, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) issued seven safety recommendations in connection with its investigation into the cause of the San Bruno incident. According to the NTSB, these safety recommendations “were issued to address record-keeping problems that could create conditions in which a pipeline is operated at a higher pressure than the pipe was built to withstand.” In response to a request from the CPUC, each of the Sempra Utilities reviewed its pipeline facilities located or operating in populated or high consequence areas, as defined by the NTSB, to identify those segments that have not had the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) established through prior hydrostatic testing. Federal and state regulations allow natural gas pipelines installed prior to July 1, 1970 to establish MAOPs through prior operating history rather than through a strength test, but strength tests are required on natural gas pipelines installed subsequent to June 30, 1970 as an element in establishing MAOPs.
In response to the CPUC’s request, the Sempra Utilities conducted a detailed review of 1,622 miles of pipelines (1,416 miles for SoCalGas and 206 miles for SDG&E) installed in the subject class locations, and on April 15, 2011, the Sempra Utilities submitted a report to the CPUC on the results of their review and the actions they are taking in response to the NTSB recommendations.
The Sempra Utilities’ records review process did not reveal any significant concerns with the currently established MAOP for their pipelines, and the Sempra Utilities intend to continue to operate their pipelines in a safe and prudent manner.



NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We record loss reservesaccrue losses for legal proceedings when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amounts of the loss can be reasonably estimated. However, the uncertainties inherent in legal proceedings make it difficult to estimate with reasonable certainty the costs and effects of resolving these matters. Accordingly, actual costs incurred may differ materially from reserved amounts accrued, may exceed applicab leapplicable insurance coverages and could materially adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations, and financial condition.

At September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, Sempra Energy’s reservesaccrued liabilities for material legal proceedings, on a consolidated basis, were $619$764 million, of which $150 million is offset by an insurance receivable for wildfire litigation and $102$48 million is for previously resolved matters. At September 30, 2010, these reserves for SDG&E and SoCalGas were $345 million (also offset by the $150 million insurance receivable) and $13 million, respectively. We provide additional information about previouslydetail regarding the resolved matters in Note 1716 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

At March 31, 2011, accrued liabilities for material legal proceedings for SDG&E and SoCalGas were $684 million and $25 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2011, liabilities of $683 million at Sempra Energy and SDG&E related to wildfire litigation may be paid using restricted cash of $312 million received in connection with a wildfire litigation settlement discussed below.
SDG&E
2007 Wildfire Litigation

In October 2007, San Diego County experienced several catastrophic wildfires. Reports issued by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) concluded that two of these fires (the Witch and Rice fires) were SDG&E "power line caused" and that a third fire (the Guejito fire) occurred when a wire securing a Cox Communications' (Cox) fiber optic cable came into contact with an SDG&E power line "causing an arc and starting the fire." Cal Fire reported that the Rice fire burned approximately 9,500 acres and damaged 206 homes and two commercial properties, and the Witch and Guejito fires merged and eventually burned approximately 198,000 acres, resulting in two fatalities, approximately 40 firefighters injured and approximately 1,141 homes destroyed.

A September 2008 staff report issued by the CPUC's Consumer Protection and Safety Division of the CPUC reached substantially the same conclusions as the Cal Fire reports, but also contended that the power lines involved in the Witch and Rice fires and the lashing wire involv edinvolved in the Guejito fire were not properly designed, constructed and maintained. In November 2008,April 2010, proceedings initiated by the CPUC initiated proceedings to determine if any of its rules were violated and in October 2009,were settled with SDG&E and the Consumer Protection and Safety Division entered into a settlement agreement, approved by the CPUC in April 2010, that resolves these proceedings by SDG&E's&E’s payment of $14.75 million.

Numerous parties have sued SDG&E and Sempra Energy in San Diego County Superior Court seeking recovery of unspecified amounts of damages, including punitive damages, from the three fires. These include owners and insurers of properties that were destroyed or damaged in the fires and public entities seeking recovery of firefighting, emergency response, and environmental costs. They assert various bases for recovery, including inverse condemnation based upon a California Court of Appeal decision finding that another California investor-owned utility was subject to strict liability, without regard to foreseeability or negligence, for property damages resulting from a wildfire ignited by power lines.
In October 2010, the courtCourt of appealAppeal affirmed the trial court's ruling that these claims must be pursued in individual lawsuits, (ratherrather than as class actions on behalf of all persons who incurred wildfire damages). damages. In February 2011, the California Supreme Court denied a petition for review of the affirmance. The trial court has scheduled a Witch fire and Guejito fire trial to begin in February 2012.
SDG&E has filed cross-complaints against Cox Communications seeking indemnification for any liability that SDG&E maymight incur that relates toin connection with the Guejito fire, two SDG&E contractors seeking indemnification in connection with the Witch fire, and one SDG&E contractor seeking indemnification in connection with the Rice fire. The court has scheduled a Guejito fire trial
In December 2010, SDG&E and Cox reached an agreement settling SDG&E's claims against Cox and Cox’s insurers in the wildfire litigation (Cox Settlement). Among other things, the settlement agreement provides that SDG&E will receive approximately $444 million, which it will use for two individual plaintiffswildfire related expenditures, and SDG&E will defend and indemnify Cox against all compensatory damage claims and related costs arising out of the wildfires.
At December 31, 2010, the $300 million Settlement Receivable Related to beginWildfire Litigation on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of Sempra Energy and SDG&E represented cash to be received in accordance with the terms of the Cox Settlement in several payments through March 2011.

2011 and which was received. Restricted cash of $312 million at March 31, 2011 on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of Sempra Energy and SDG&E represents amounts received from Cox not yet applied to wildfire related expenditures.

SDG&E has settled substantially all of the 19,000 claims of homeowner insurers relating to the three fires, including claims for payment by the insurers to their policyholders for approximately 1,000 of the 1,300 houses, mobile homes, and apartment units identified in public records as having been destroyed.fires. Under the settlement agreements, SDG&E has paid or will pay 57.5 percent of the approximately $1.6 billion paid or reserved for payment by the insurers to their policyholders and received an assignment of the insurers’ claims against Cox Communications and other parties potentially responsible for the fires.

The wildfire litigation also includes claims of non-insurer plaintiffs for damage to uninsured and underinsured structures, business interruption, evacuation expenses, agricultural damage, emotional harm, personal injuries and other losses. SDG&E has settled the claims of approximately 4501,190 of these plaintiffs. OfApproximately 1,000 of the approximately 2,5002,000 remaining individual and business plaintiffs approximately 1,200 have thus far submitted settlement demands orand damage information. Individual and business claims totalestimates totaling approximately $825$800 million and government entity claims total approximately $150$140 million. SDG&E expects to receive additional settlement demands and damage estimates as settlement negotiations continue.

SDG&E has established reserves for the wildfire litigation as we discuss below.

SDG&E's settlementssettlement of claims and defense costs have exceeded its $1.1 billion of liability insurance coverage. SDG&E has established reserves for its estimated cost of resolving the remaining claims for damages of approximately 1,300 plaintiffs.  It expects that its wildfire reserves and amounts paid to resolve wildfire claims will continue to increase as it obtains additional information andinformation; it is presently unable to reasonably estimate the amount or timing of recoveries from other potentially responsible parties.

parties, other than Cox.

SDG&E has concluded, however, that it is probable that it will be permitted to recover from its utility customers substantially all reasonably incurred costs of resolving wildfire claims in excess of its liability insurance coverage and any amounts recovered from other potent iallypotentially responsible parties. Accordingly, although such recovery from utility customers will require future regulatory actions, as we discuss in Note 9,of December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011, SDG&E has recorded a regulatory asset in an amount substantially equal to the aggregate amount it has paid or reserved for payment for the resolution of wildfire claims and related costs in excess of its liability insurance coverage.coverage and amounts received or to be received from Cox. SDG&E will increase the amount of the regulatory asset as additional amounts are paid or reserves are recorded and reduce it by any amounts recovered from other potentially responsible parties.
As of September 30, 2010, the amounta consequence of the regulatory asset was $311 million.

Consequently,expected recovery of wildfire costs from utility customers, Sempra Energy and SDG&E expect no significant earnings impact from the resolution of the remaining wildfire claims. However, SDG&E’s cash flow willmay be adversely affected bydue to the timing differences between the resolution of claims and the recoveries from other potentially responsible parties and utility cus tomers,customers, which may extend over a number of years. Also, recovery from customers will require future regulatory actions, and a failure to obtain recovery, or any negative assessment of the likelihood of recovery, would likely have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy's and SDG&E's cash flows and results of operations.

SDG&E will continue to gather information to evaluate and assess the remaining wildfire claims and the likelihood, amount and timing of related recoveries from other potentially responsible parties and utility customers and will make appropriate adjustments to wildfire reserves and the related regulatory asset as additional information becomes available.

In 2010 and 2011, as liabilities for wildfire litigation have become reasonably estimable in the form of settlement demands, damage estimates, and other damage information, SDG&E has recorded related reserves as a liability. The impact of this liability at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2011 is offset by (1) current receivables for amounts to be received from Cox (December 31, 2010), (2) $312 million of restricted cash received from Cox (March 31, 2011) and (3) the recognition of a regulatory asset, as discussed above, for reserves in excess of the insurance coverage and the Cox settlement. The impact of the reserves on SDG&E's and Sempra Energy's after-tax earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, was $1 million and $3 million, respectively. At March 31, 2011, wildfire litigation reserves were $683 million ($489 million in current and $194 million in long-term).
Sunrise Powerlink Electric Transmission Line
SDG&E commenced construction on the Sunrise Powerlink in the fall of 2010. The Sunrise Powerlink is a new 117-mile, 500-kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line that is being built between the Imperial Valley and the San Diego region, along a route that generally runs south of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. The current project plan provides for the transmission line to be completed and in-service in the second half of 2012.
The Sunrise Powerlink project was originally approved by the CPUC in December 2008, including approval of the environmental impact review conducted jointly with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The CPUC has subsequently denied or dismissed all requests for rehearing of its approval of the project.
In February 2011, the California Supreme Court denied a petition filed jointly by the Utility Consumers' Action Network (UCAN) and the Center for Biological Diversity/Sierra Club (CBD). The petition challenged the CPUC's decision with regard to implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In addition, in August 2010 the California Court of Appeal denied a petition previously filed by UCAN with the Court of Appeal challenging the CPUC decision on other legal grounds.
In January 2009, the BLM issued its decision approving the portions of the project, route and environmental review within its jurisdiction. The Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA) subsequently denied or dismissed all administrative appeals that were filed challenging the BLM’s approval of the project.
The CPUC and BLM jointly approved the final Project Modification Report for Sunrise Powerlink in September 2010, accepting all of the proposed modifications to the approved route and finding that no additional environmental review was required. In December 2010, the IBLA dismissed an appeal challenging the BLM’s approval of the Project Modification Report. On March 3, 2011, opponents of the Sunrise Powerlink filed a petition for writ of review or mandamus with the California Supreme Court challenging the CPUC’s acceptance of the Project Modification Report. The California Supreme Court denied the petition on April 13, 2011.
In February 2010, parties opposed to the project filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court in San Diego seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and alleging that the BLM failed to properly assess the environmental impacts of the approved Sunrise Powerlink route and the related potential development of renewable resources in east San Diego County and Imperial County. The plaintiffs have filed a motion for a preliminary injunction regarding construction on BLM land and the plaintiffs, the federal government and SDG&E have each filed separate motions for summary judgment with the Court.
In July 2010, the United States Forest Service (USFS) issued its decision approving the portions of the project, route and environmental review within its jurisdiction. The USFS has subsequently denied all administrative appeals challenging its approval of the project.
In January 2011, project opponents filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court in San Diego alleging that the federal approvals for construction of the project on USFS land and BLM land violated the National Environmental Policy Act and other federal environmental laws. The lawsuit asks the Court for injunctive relief preventing the USFS and the BLM from approving any ongoing or future construction activities.
On February 7, 2011, opponents of the Sunrise Powerlink filed a lawsuit in California Superior Court in Sacramento, California against the State Water Resources Control Board and SDG&E alleging that the water quality certification issued by the Board under the Federal Clean Water Act violated CEQA. The complaint seeks to have the certification set aside and requests an injunction be issued.
We provide additional information concerning Sunrise Powerlink in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
SoCalGas
SoCalGas, along with Monsanto Co., Solutia, Inc., Pharmacia Corp., and Pfizer, Inc., are defendants in two Los Angeles County Superior Court lawsuits filed in April 2011 seeking recovery of unspecified amounts of damages, including punitive damages, as a result of plaintiffs' exposure to PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls). The lawsuits allege plaintiffs were exposed to PCBs not only through the food chain and other various sources but from PCB-contaminated natural gas pipelines owned and operated by SoCalGas. This contamination allegedly caused plaintiffs to develop cancer and other serious illnesses. Plaintiffs assert various bases for recovery, including negligence and products liability.
Sempra Pipelines & Storage
Liberty Gas Storage, LLC (Liberty) received a demand for arbitration from Williams Midstream Natural Gas Liquids, Inc. in February 2011 related to a sublease agreement. Williams alleges that Liberty was negligent in its attempt to convert certain salt caverns to natural gas storage and seeks damages of $56.7 million. Liberty filed a counterclaim alleging breach of contract in the inducement and seeks damages of more than $215 million. We discuss other matters related to these caverns in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Sempra LNG

Sempra LNG has been engaged in a long-running land dispute relating to property adjacent to its Energía Costa Azul liquefied natural gas (LNG) receipt terminal near Ensenada, Mexico. The adjacent property is not required by environmental or other regulatory permits for the operation of the terminal. A claimant to the adjacent property has nonetheless asserted that his health and safety are endangered by the operation of the facility. In June 2010, a Mexican federal appeals court revoked a district court order, issued at the behest of the claimant, directing Mexican regulatory authorities to provisionally suspend authorizations for the operation of the LNG terminal. In February 2011, based on a complaint by the claimant, the new Ensenada Mayor attempted to temporarily close the terminal based on claims of irregularities in municipal permits issued six years earlier. This attempt was promptly countermanded by Mexican federal and Baja California state authorities. No terminal permits or operations were affected as a result of these proceedings or events and the terminal has continued to operate normally. The
Sempra LNG expects additional Mexican district court is expected to conduct additional proceedings and governmental actions regarding the claimant’s assertions andas to whether the terminal’s permits should be modified or revoked.

revoked in any manner.

The property claimant has also filed a lawsuit against Sempra Energy in U.S. district courtFederal District Court in San Diego seeking compensatory and punitive damages and earnings from the Energía Costa Azul LNG terminal based on his allegations that he was wrongfully evicted from the adjacent property and that he has been harmed by other allegedly improper actions.


Other Litigation
In August 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued a decision reversing and remanding certain Federal Energy Crisis Litigation Settlement

Sempra Energy, RBS Sempra Commodities and Sempra Generation have reached a comprehensive settlement to resolve substantially all of their remaining energy crisis litigation for a total payment of $410 million. Described in more detail below, the matters resolved by the settlement include the multiple actions brought by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and other parties with respect to the validity, pricing and operation of Sempra Generation’s contract with the DWR and the FERC refu nd and manipulation proceedings against RBS Sempra Commodities. Two settlement agreements were submitted in October 2010 to the FERC for its approval. We anticipate that the FERC will act on the settlements in the first quarter of 2011.

We expect the settlement of $410 million to be funded largely from previously recorded reserves and receivables at RBS Sempra Commodities. Sempra Energy has also recorded an additional pretax charge of $159 million in the first quarter of 2010Regulatory Commission (FERC) orders declining to provide for the remainder of the settlement, including $139 million at Sempra Generation and $20 million at Sempra Commodities.

DWR Contract

Among other relief from existing and potential disputes, under the terms of the settlement reached on the DWR contract, all claims, appeals and proceedings related to the DWR contract will be dismissed. These matters include the 2002 challenge bro ught by the California Energy Oversight Board (CEOB) and the CPUC at the FERC asserting that the DWR contract with Sempra Generation contained unjust and unreasonable rates; the DWR’s appeal in response to the denial of its 2002 claims for misrepresentation and breach of contract in San Diego Superior Court; and the 2008 arbitration proceedings in which the DWR asserted that Sempra Generation had breached the parties' agreement in various operational respects, and violated the order issued by an earlier arbitration panel relating to the amount refunded to the DWR and the manner in which Sempra Generation operates.

FERC Refund Proceedings

The settlement involving RBS Sempra Commodities includes, among other things, resolution of the following matters: the FERC's investigation of prices charged by various electric suppliers to buyers in the California Power Exchange (PX) and Independent System Operator (ISO) m arkets; a complaint involvingrefunds regarding short-term bilateral sales up to one month in the Pacific Northwest (thefor the December 2000 to June 2001 time period. The FERC has not yet acted on the court’s order.  In December 2010, the FERC approved a comprehensive settlement resolves the sales between the DWR and Sempra Commodities); the California Attorney General's complaint that electricity sellers had failed to comply with the FERC's quarterly reporting requirements; and the California Attorney General's complaint seeking to collect for alleged overcharges related to all short-term bilateral transactions between sellers and the DWR from January 18, 2001 through June 20, 2001.

FERC Manipulation Investigation

The settlement involving RBS Sempra Commodities also includes resolution of the FERC's separate investigation into whether there was manipulation of short-term energy markets in the western United States that would constitute violations of applicable tariffs and warrant disgorgement of associated profits.

previously reached by Sempra Energy and RBS Sempra Commodities have recorded reserves forwith the full amountState of California. The settlement resolves all issues with regard to sales between the settlementCalifornia Department of Water Resources (DWR) and Sempra Commodities (see Note 11) in the Pacific Northwest, but potential claims may exist regarding sales between Sempra Commodities and other litigation. buyers in the Pacific Northwest.    

Pursuant to the agreements related to the formation of RBS Sempra Commodities, we have indemnified RBS should the liability from the final resolution of these matters be greater than the reserves related to Sempra Commodities. Pursuant to our agreement with the Noble Group, as we discuss in Note 4, we have also indemnified Noble Americas Gas & Power Corp. and its affiliates for all losses incurred by such parties resulting from these proceedings as related to Sempra Commodities.

Other Litigation

Sempra Energy and several subsidiaries, along with three oil and natural gas companies, the City of Beverly Hills, and the Beverly Hills Unified School District, are defendants in a toxic tort lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court by approxima telyapproximately 1,000 plaintiffs. This lawsuit claims that various emissions resulted in cancer or fear of cancer. We have submitted the case to our insurers, who have reserved their rights with respect to coverage. In November 2006, the court granted the defendants' summary judgment motions based on lack of medical causation for the 12 initial plaintiffs scheduled to go to trial first. The court also granted summary judgment excluding punitive damages. The court has stayed the case as to the remaining plaintiffs pending the appeal of the rulings. A mediation occurred in June 2010, after which the plaintiffs’ counsel agreed to recommend a settlement of the lawsuits as to Sempra Energy and its subsidiaries for an amount that is not significant. Any such settlement will require approval by each of the plaintiffs. If approval is obtained, finalization of the settlement is expected to occur within six months.

We are also defendants in ordinary routine lit igationlitigation incidental to our businesses, including personal injury, product liability, property damage and other claims. California juries have demonstrated an increasing willingness to grant large awards, including punitive damages, in these cases.

Wildfire Reserves and Insurance Receivables

In 2009 and 2010, as liabilities for wildfire litigation have become reasonably estimable, SDG&E has recorded related reserves as a current liability. The impact of this liability is offset by a current receivable resulting from SDG&E’s liability insurance and, for reserves in excess of the insurance coverage, the recognition of a regulatory asset, as discussed above. There was no effect on SDG&E's or Sempra Energy's 2009 earnings from the recording of the reserves. The impact on their 2010 earnings was $7 million and $17 million in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respect ively. At September 30, 2010, wildfire litigation reserves were $344 million and the receivable from SDG&E's insurers was $150 million.

NUCLEAR INSURANCE

SDG&E and the other owners of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) have insurance to cover claims from nuclear liability incidents arising at SONGS. This insurance provides $375 million in coverage limits, the maximum amount available, including coverage for acts of terrorism. In addition, the Price-Anderson Act provides for up to $12.2 billion of secondary financial protection (SFP). If a nuclear liability loss occurring at any U.S. licensed/commercial reactor exceeds the $375 million insurance limit, all nuclear reactor owners could be required to contribute to the SFP. SDG&E's contribution would be up to $47 million. This amount is subject to an annual maximu mmaximum of $7 million, unless a default occurs by any other SONGS owner. If the SFP is insufficient to cover the liability loss, SDG&E could be subject to an additional assessment.

The SONGS owners, including SDG&E, also have $2.75 billion of nuclear property, decontamination, and debris removal insurance. In addition, the SONGS owners have up to $490 million insurance coverage for outage expenses and replacement power costs due to accidental property damage. This coverage is limited to $3.5 million per week for the first 52 weeks, then $2.8 million per week for up to 110 additional weeks. There is a 12-week waiting period deductible. These insurance coverages are provided through a mutual insurance company. Insured members are subject to retrospective premium assessments. SDG&E could be assessed up to $8.5 million.

The nuclear property insurance program includes an industry aggregate loss limit for non-cert ifiednon-certified acts of terrorism (as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act). The industry aggregate loss limit for property claims arising from non-certified acts of terrorism is $3.24 billion. This is the maximum amount that will be paid to insured members who suffer losses or damages from these non-certified terrorist acts.

Changes

We discuss changes to SoCalGas’ natural gas purchase and pipeline capacity commitments and Sempra LNG’s natural gas purchase and transportation commitments are discussed below.

At DecemberMarch 31, 2009,2011, Sempra LNG had LNGhas various purchase agreements with Tangguh PSC Contractorsmajor international companies for the supply of LNG to its Energía Costa Azul and Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company.Cameron receipt terminals. We discuss these agreements further in Note 1716 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

In April 2010, Sempra LNG entered into an LNG supply option agreement with Gazprom Global LNG Limited (GGLNG), a subsidiary of OAO Gazprom. The multi-year agreement, which commenced in June 2010, allows GGLNG to deliver and sell up to two LNG cargoes per month to Sempra LNG at its Cameron receipt terminal. GGLNG pays Sempra LNG a fee for the right to deliver and sell the LNG cargoes using a predetermined pricing formula based on a market index.

Sempra LNG’s commitments under all LNG purchase agreements, reflecting the additional recenttermination effective September 2011 of an LNG supply option agreement with GGLNG,by one of the suppliers, changes in forward prices since December 31, 2009,2010, and actual transactions for the first ninethree months of 2010,2011, are expected to decrease by $1.4 billion in 2010 and $2$336 million in 2011, to increase by $121$366 million in 2012, and to decrease by $81$145 million in 2013, $254and to increase by $50 million in 2014, $83 million in 2015 and $4.4$2.3 billion thereafter compared to December 31, 2009.

2010.

The LNG commitment amounts above are based on Sempra LNG’s commitment to accept the maximum possible delivery of cargoes under the agreements. Actual LNG purchases for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 have been significantly lower than the maximum amounts possible.

Sempra LNG has a natural gas transportation agreement to provide service from the U.S./Mexico border to Southern California and Arizona. At September 30, 2010, Sempra LNG’s remaining commitment on this contract, which runs through August 2022, is $226 million.

SDG&E

In the first nine monthsquarter of 2010,2011, significant increases to contractual commitments at SDG&E were the issuance of $250 million of 5.35-percent first mortgage bonds maturing in 2040, the issuance of $500 million of 4.50-percent first mortgage bonds maturing in 2040, $453$62 million for purchased-power contracts, $223$23 million for costs associated with nuclear fuel fabricationrelated to the replacement of the steam generators and other construction projects at SONGS, $133$45 million for electric distribution systems, advanced metering infrastructure and electric generation plant and equipment and $321 million for engineering, material procurement and construction costs associated with the Sunrise Powerlink project and $54 million for electric distribution systems, advanced metering infrastructure, and electric generation plant and equipment.

The future payments for these contractual com mitments are expected to be $180 million for 2010, $143 million for 2011, $120 million for 2012, $107 million for 2013, $93 million for 2014 and $2 billion thereafter. These amounts include expected interest payments on the first mortgage bonds using the stated interest rates. 

SoCalGas

In the first nine months of 2010, significant increases to contractual commitments at SoCalGas were $52 million for construction and infrastructure improvements for gas transmission and distribution operations. project.

The future payments for these contractual commitments are expected to be $39$331 million for 2010 and $132011, $56 million for 2011.

2012, $3 million for 2013, $2 million for 2014, $2 million for 2015 and $57 million thereafter.

SoCalGas
In the first quarter of 2011, significant increases to contractual commitments at SoCalGas were $42 million for construction and infrastructure improvements for natural gas transmission and distribution operations and advanced metering at SoCalGas.  The future payments for these contractual commitments are expected to be $25 million for 2011, $12 million for 2012 and $5 million for 2013.
SoCalGas’ natural gas purchase and pipeline capacity commitments have decreased by $682$97 million since December 31, 2009.2010. The decrease, primarily due to a reduction of $1.1 billion$237 million based on lower natural gas forward p rices and actual transactions for the first nine monthsquarter of 2010,2011, is offset by new natural gas purchase and pipeline capacity contracts of $415$140 million. Net future payments are therefore expected to decrease by $903$114 million for 20102011 and to increase by $124 million for 2011, $52$16 million for 2012 $29and $1 million for 2013, $14 million for 2014 and $2 million thereafter compared to December 31, 2009.

2010.

CAPITAL LEASES

SDG&E has two power purchase agreements with peaker plant facilities that went into commercial operation in June 2010 and are accounted for as capital leases. As of September 30, 2010, capital lease obligations for these leases, each with a 25-year term, were $181 million.

At September 30, 2010, the future minimum lease payments and present value of the net minimum lease payments under these capital leases for both Sempra Energy Consolidated and SDG&E were as follows:

NOTE 11. SEGMENT INFORMATION


We have sixfive separately managed reportable segments, as follows:

1.
SDG&E provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County.
2.  
SoCalGas is a natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.
3.  
Sempra Generation develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, electric power plants and energy projects in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Indiana, Hawaii and Mexico to serve wholesale electricity markets in the United States and Mexico. Sempra Generation also includes the operating results of Sempra Rockies Marketing, which holds firm service capacity on the Rockies Express Pipeline.
4.  
Sempra Pipelines & Storage   &nbs p;   SDG&E provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County.

2.SoCalGas is a natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.

3.Sempra Commodities holds our investment in RBS Semp ra Commodities, a joint venture with RBS. The partnership was formed fromour commodities-marketing businesses previously reported in this segment. The partnership's commodity trading businesses serve customers in natural gas and electricity, and prior to July 1, 2010, also in petroleum and petroleum products, and base metals. Sempra Commodities also includes the operating results of Sempra Rockies Marketing, which holds firm service capacity on the Rockies Express Pipeline.

In February 2010, Sempra Energy, RBS and the partnership entered into an agreement to sell certain businesses within the partnership, which agreement was consummated on July 1, 2010. In September and October of 2010, the partnership entered into two additional agreements for transactions which will complete the divestiture of the last of the joint venture’s principal assets. One of these transactions was compl eted on November 1, 2010, and the second transaction is expected to be completed by year-end. We discuss these transactions and other matters concerning the partnership in Note 4 above and in Notes 4 and 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

4.Sempra Generation develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, electric power plants and energy projects in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Indiana, Hawaii and Mexico to serve wholesale electricity markets in the United States and Mexico.

5.Sempra Pipelines & Storage develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, natural gas and propane pipelines and natural gas storage facilities in the United States and Mexico, and companies that provide natural gas or electricity services in Argentina, Chile, Mexico and Peru. We are currently pursuing the sale of our interests in the Argentine utilities, which we discuss further in Note 4 above and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. Sempra Pipelines & Storage also operates a natural gas distribution utility in Alabama.

In April 2011, Sempra Pipelines & Storage also operates a natural gas distribution utilityincreased its interests in Alabama.

6.Sempra LNG develops , ownsChile and operates receipt terminals for importing LNGPeru, as we discuss in the U.S. and Mexico, and has supply and marketing agreements to purchase LNG and sell natural gas.

Note 12.

5.  
Sempra LNG develops, owns and operates receipt terminals for importing LNG into the U.S. and Mexico, and has supply and marketing agreements to purchase and sell LNG and natural gas.
We evaluate each segment's performance based on its contribution to Sempra Energy's reported earnings. The Sempra Utilities operate in essentially separate service territories, under separate regulatory frameworks and rate structures set by the CPUC. The Sempra Utilities' operations are based on rates set by the CPUC and the FERC. We describe the accounting policies of our segments in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

In

Prior to 2011, our Sempra Commodities segment contained our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP (RBS Sempra Commodities), which held commodities-marketing businesses previously owned by us.  Our investment in the firstpartnership is reported on the equity method. We and RBS, our partner in the joint venture, sold substantially all of the partnership’s businesses and assets in four separate transactions completed in July, November and December of 2010 and February of 2011. We discuss these transactions and other matters concerning the partnership in Note 4 above and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
The activity in the partnership no longer meets the quantitative thresholds that require Sempra Commodities to be reported as a reportable segment under applicable generally accepted accounting principles, and we do not consider the remaining wind-down activities of the partnership to be of continuing significance. As a result, effective January 1, 2011, we are reporting the former Sempra Commodities segment in "All other" in the following tables and have restated prior year information to be consistent with this treatment.
Also, in the fourth quarter of 2010, we changed the composition of our reporting segments to include Sempra LNG became a reportableRockies Marketing, which was previously included in the Sempra Commodities segment, in the Sempra Generation segment. We have revised segment disclosures for 20092010 to reflect this.

The following ta blestables show selected information by segment from our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Amounts labeled as "all"All other" in the following tables consist primarily of parent organizations.organizations and the former commodities-marketing businesses.

In January 2011, Sempra Pipelines & Storage agreed to acquire from AEI its interests in Chilquinta Energía S.A. (Chilquinta Energía) in Chile and Luz del Sur S.A. (Luz del Sur) in Peru. At March 31, 2011, Sempra Pipelines & Storage and AEI each owned 50 percent of Chilquinta Energía and approximately 38 percent of Luz del Sur. We completed the transaction on April 6, 2011, and Sempra Pipelines & Storage now owns 100 percent of Chilquinta Energía and approximately 76 percent of Luz del Sur, with the remaining shares of Luz del Sur held by institutional investors and the general public. The purchase price was $875 million (plus working capital adjustments of $13 million), which resulted from valuing the assets in Chile at $490 million and the assets in Peru at $385 million. As part of our acquisition of AEI’s interest in Luz del Sur, we are required to launch a tender offer to the minority shareholders of Luz del Sur to purchase their shares at a price as determined by an independent appraiser.  As part of the transaction, Sempra Pipelines & Storage also acquired AEI’s interests in two energy-services companies, Tecnored S.A. and Tecsur S.A. We provide additional information about Sempra Pipelines & Storage’s investments in Chilquinta Energía and Luz Del Sur in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Due to the limited time since the date of the acquisition, the initial accounting for this business combination is incomplete as of the date of this filing, including updated appraisal information for the acquisition. As such, it is impracticable for us to make certain business combination disclosures at this time, including:
§  the acquisition date fair value of the equity interest we held prior to the acquisition and any estimation of any gain or loss associated with the remeasurement of these equity interests; and
§  amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date for the major classes of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including pre-acquisition contingencies, goodwill and other intangibles.
We will provide this information in our second quarter 2011 Form 10-Q.
Excluding the impact of purchase accounting to be determined, the incremental revenues and earnings for Sempra Energy had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2010 were $343 million and $23 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and $277 million and $19 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
We expect the acquisition to be accretive to our EPS in 2011 and beyond, based on historically strong operating performance of the companies within sound regulatory environments and stable and growing countries.

In February 2010, we, RBS and


Prior to 2011, our joint-venture partnership,Sempra Commodities segment contained our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities LLP (RBS Sempra Commodities), entered into an agreement to sell certainwhich held commodities-marketing businesses withinpreviously owned by us. Our investment in the partnership is reported on the equity method. We and The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), our partner in the joint venture, which agreement was consummated onsold substantially all of the partnership’s businesses and assets in four separate transactions completed in July, 1, 2010. In SeptemberNovember and OctoberDecember of 2010 the partnership entered into two additional agreements which will complete the divestitureand February of the last of the joint venture’s principal assets. One of these transactions was completed on November 1, 2010, and the second transaction is expected to be completed by year-end.2011. We discuss these transactions and other matters concerning the partnership in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consoli datedConsolidated Financial Statements herein and in NotesNote 4 and 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

The activity in the partnership no longer meets the quantitative thresholds that require Sempra Commodities to be reported as a reportable segment under applicable generally accepted accounting principles, and we do not consider the remaining wind-down activities of the partnership to be of continuing significance. As a result, effective January 1, 2011, we are reporting the former Sempra Commodities segment in Parent and Other, and have restated prior year information to be consistent with this treatment. Also, in the fourth quarter of 2010, we changed the composition of our reporting segments to include Sempra Rockies Marketing, which was previously included in the Sempra Commodities segment, in the Sempra Generation segment.

In the three months ended September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, our earnings decreasedincreased by $186$152 million (59%(143%) to $131$258 million primarily due to a $139 million after-tax write-down of our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities in the Sempra Commodities segment and lower earnings from the joint venture, as we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. to:
§  litigation expense recorded in 2010 of $96 million related to an agreement to settle certain energy crisis litigation;
§  improved operating results at Sempra Generation and Sempra Pipelines & Storage; and
§  lower losses at Parent and Other.
Diluted earnings per share for the three-month period decreasedincreased by $0.74 (58%$0.65 (155%) per share to $0.53$1.07 per share, primarily from the write-down and lower earnings at Sempra Commodities.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our earnings decreased by $372 million (45%) to $459 million primarily due to lower joint-venturehigher earnings ($0.61 per share) and the investment write-down at Sempra Commodi ties and lower earnings at Sempra Generation, partially offset by improved results at Sempra LNG and Sempra Pipelines & Storage. In the first quarter of 2010, Sempra Generation and Sempra Commodities recorded after-tax litigation expense of $84 million and $12 million, respectively, related to the agreement to settle certain energy crisis litigation, as we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months decreased by $1.53 (45%) per share to $1.84 per share, primarily from the write-down at Sempra Commodities and net lower earnings.

Earningsa decrease in the nine-month periodnumber of 2009 were negatively impacted by an after-tax asset write-offshares primarily as a result of $64 million related to assets at Sempra Pipelines & Storage’s Liberty Gas Storage (Liberty) project.

CHANGES IN REVENUES, COSTS AND EARNINGS

This section contains a discussion of the differences between periods in specific line items of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for Sempra Energy, SDG&E, PE and SoCalGas.

Sempra Utilities Revenues

Sempra Utilities revenues are comprised of natural gas revenues at SDG&E and SoCalGas, 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.
The current regulatory framework permits the cost of natural gas purchased for core customers (primarily residential and small commercial and industrial customers) to be passed on to customers substantially as incurred. However, SoCalGas' Gas Cost Incentive Mechanism (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 monthly benchmarks. This mechanism permits full recovery of costs incurred when average purchase costs are within a price range around a monthlythe benchmark price. Any higher costs incurred or savings realized outside thi sthis range are shared between the core customers and SoCalGas. We provide further discussion in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

The regulatory framework also permits SDG&E to recover the actual cost incurred to generate or procure electricity based on annual estimates of the cost of electricity supplied to customers. The differences in cost between estimates and actual are recovered in the next year through rates.

Sempra Utilities: Natural Gas Revenues and Cost of Natural Gas

The tables below show natural gas revenues for Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas for the nine-monththree-month periods ended September 30.March 31, 2011 and 2010. The Sempra Energy Consolidated amounts reflect SDG&E and SoCalGas revenues, net of intercompany transactions. Because the cost of natural gas is recovered in rates, changes in the cost are reflecte dreflected in the changes in revenues. In addition to the change in market prices, the average cost of natural gas revenues recorded during a period isare impacted by the difference between customer billings and recorded or CPUC-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 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, electric revenues increased by $87 million (5%) at both Sempra Energy and SDG&E to $1.9 billion. The increase in revenues was primarily due to:

§$22 million increase due to tolling payments and natural gas supply costs in 2010 associated with the power generated by Otay Mesa VIE in excess of purchased power costs in 2009 for the equivalent amount of power;

§$38 million higher authorized transmission and electric generation margins;

§$22 million higher authorized base margin on el ectric distribution; and

§$12 million increase in the cost of electric fuel and purchased power excluding Otay Mesa VIE; offset by

§$9 million resolution of regulatory matters in 2009 that favorably impacted earnings.

The cost of electric fuel and purchased power at both Sempra Energy and SDG&E decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to an $11 million decrease in the cost of power purchased from third-party generators as a result of the start up of new power generation at Otay Mesa VIE, which commenced commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2009, offset by a $6 million increase in other fuel and purchased power costs. Associated with this decrease, SDG&E’s o perating costs increased by $11 million from Otay Mesa VIE’s operations.

§  $42 million higher recoverable expenses that are fully offset in operation and maintenance expenses;
§  $32 million increase in the cost of electric fuel and purchased power excluding Otay Mesa VIE;
§  $15 million higher authorized base margin on electric generation and distribution; and
§  
$5 million higher authorized transmission margin; offset by
§  $11 million decrease due to tolling payments and natural gas supply costs in 2011 associated with the power generated by Otay Mesa.
At both Sempra Energy and SDG&E, the cost of electric fuel and purchased power decreasedincreased by $28$23 million (6%(16%) to $480$171 million forin the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 primarily due to a $40$32 million increase in fuel and purchased-power costs (excluding Otay Mesa VIE), offset by a $9 million decrease in the cost of power purchased from third-party generators as a result of the start up of new power generation at Otay Mesa VIE, which commenced commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2009, offset by a $12 million increase in other fuel and purchased power costs. Associated with this decrease, SDG&E’s operating costs increased by $31 million from Otay Mesa VIE’s operations.

We do not include in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations the commodity costs (and the revenues to recover those costs) associated with long-term contracts that are allocated to SDG&E by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). However, we do include the associated volumes and distribution re venuesrevenues in the table above. We provide further discussion of these contracts in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra Global and Parent Revenues and Cost of Sales

In

During the three months ended September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, our Sempra Global and Parent revenues increaseddecreased by $112$69 million (26%(11%) to $541$553 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our Sempra Global and Parent revenues increased by $391 million (31%) to $1.7 billion. The increases in both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 were due to higher revenues at Sempra LNG,decrease was primarily due to increased marketing operations and the start up of operations at its Cameron LNG receipt terminal and the nitrogen-injection facility at the Energía Costa Azul receipt terminal, partially offset by lower revenues at Sempra Pipelines & Storage due to the expiration of the Comis ión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) natural gas supply contract in 2009. At the expiration of the contract, Sempra LNG began supplying the CFE under a separate contract ending December 2022.

Into:

§  $49 million lower revenues at Sempra Generation due to decreased power sales; and
§  $19 million lower revenues at Sempra LNG primarily due to decreased natural gas sales and lower natural gas prices in 2011.
During the three months ended September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, our cost of natural gas, electric fuel and purchased power increased by $72 million (33%)decreased to $292 million.

Write-off of Long-lived Assets

In the second quarter of 2009, we recorded a $132 million write-off related to certain assets at one of Sempra Pipelines & Storage’s Liberty natural gas storage projects. Sempra Energy's after-tax share of this write-off was $64 million. We discuss the write-off of the assets in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Equity Earnings (Losses) Before Income Taxes

Sempra Energy Consolidated

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, equity losses from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities were $281 million compared to equity earnings of $105 million in the corresponding period of 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, equity losses from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities were $290 million compared to equity earnings of $384 million in the corresponding period of 2009. Equity earnings were adversely impacted by several factors, as we discuss above in “Business Unit Results – Sempra Commodities.” Results for both periods in 2010 include a $305 million pretax write-down of our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities. We discuss the write-down further in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

Sempra Energy Consolidated

The changeincrease in income tax expense in the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 was due to lower pretax income and a lower effective income tax rate primarily resulting from:

§higher planned investment tax credits;

§higher exclusions from taxable income of the equity portion of AFUDC; and

§higher pretax income (including a $175 million gain related to our share of the RBS Sempra Commodities sale to J.P. Morgan Ventures Energy Corporation on July 1, 2010) in countries with lower statutory rates; offset by

In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Sempra Energy's income tax expense decreased due to lower pretax income and a lower effective income tax rate. The lower effective income tax rate was primarily due to:

§higher planned investment tax credits;

SDG&E

The increase in SDG&E's income tax expense in the three months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to higher pretax income, offset by a lower effective income tax rate. The lower effective income tax rate was primarily due to:

§the impact of Otay Mesa VIE;

§a decrease in the amount by which book depreciation exceeds normalized tax depreciation, which is not treated as a deferred tax asset for ratemaking purposes;

§higher exclusions from taxable income of the equity portion of AFUDC; and

The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010
In December 2010, the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (2010 Tax Act) was signed into law.  The 2010 Tax Act included the extension of bonus depreciation for U.S. federal income tax purposes for years 2010 through 2012 and an increase in the rate of bonus depreciation from 50 percent to 100 percent. This increased rate only applies to certain investments made after September 8, 2010 through December 31, 2012.
Additionally, the 2010 Tax Act extended for years 2010 and 2011 the U.S. federal income tax law known as the look-through rule. This rule allows, under certain situations, for certain non-operating activity (e.g., dividend income, royalty income, interest income, rental income, etc.) of a greater than 50-percent owned non-U.S. subsidiary, to not be taxed under U.S. federal income tax law. If this rule is not extended beyond 2011, Sempra Energy’s effective income tax rate at SoCalGas increased slightly primarily due to:

§a $13 million write-down of the deferred tax assets related to other postretirement benefits as a result of a change in U.S. tax law, as we discuss above;

§lower deductions for other postretirement benefits; and

§ancould potentially increase in subsequent years.

We provide further discussion regarding the amount by which book depreciation exceeds no rmalized tax depreciation, which is not treated as a deferred tax asset for ratemaking purposes; offset by

§higher deductions for self-developed software costs;2010 Tax Act in "Management's Discussion and

§higher exclusions from taxable income Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the equity portion of AFUDC.

Although it did not change year-over-year, these fluctuations are also reflected in PE’s effective income tax rate.

§fund new business acquisitions or start-ups

As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein, in July 2010, RBS Sempra Commodities sold its global metals and oil businesses, as well as the European natural gas and power business. Our share of the proceeds from this transaction approximated $1 billion, including a $134 million distribution of 2009 partnership earnings related to the businesses sold. In September 2010, Noble Group Ltd. agreed to acquire the U.S. retail commodity marketing business of RBS Sempra Commodities for $318 million in cash, plus assumption of all debt, which agreement was consummated on November 1, 2010. In October 2010, the joint venture entered into an agreement to sell most of its remaining assets to J.P. Morgan Ventures Energy Corporation (J.P. Morgan Ventures), a unit of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JP Morgan), for approximately $220 million. This transaction is expected to close by year-end.

We expect our share of the proceeds from the sales of all of the partnership’s businesses and related cash distributions to total $1.8 billion to $1.9 billion. This includes approximately $1.3 billion expected from the announced transactions, plus $500 million to $600 million consisting primarily of cash and accounts receivable, as well as net margin that is expected to be collected as customers are transferred to JP Morgan. The transfer of all accounts to JP Morgan will be done as soo n as possible, but is expected to continue into 2011. We are using $500 million of the proceeds to repurchase shares2-percent notes and $300 million of our common stock under a Collared Accelerated Share Acquisition Program, which beganfloating rate notes, both maturing in September 2010. We discuss the share repurchase program further in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

2014. SDG&E hasand SoCalGas issued long-term debt in 2010 in the aggregate principal amounts of $750 million and both Sempra Energy and SDG&E issued long-term debt in 2009.$300 million, respectively. Changing economic conditions could affect the availability and cost of both short-term and long-term financing. If cash flows from operations were to be significantly reduced or we were to be unable to borrow under acceptable terms, we would reduce or postpone discretionary capital expenditures and investments in new businesses. If these measures were necessary, they would primarily impact our Sempra Global businesses, as credit availability for the Sempra Utilities has not been significantly impacted by the credit crisis. Discretionary expenditures at Sempra Global include projects that we have not yet made firm commitments to build, primarily renewable generation facilities. We continuously monitor our ability to finance the needs of our operating, investing and financing activities in a manner consistent with our intention to maintain strong, investment-quality ratings.

investment-grade credit ratings and capital structure.

In three separate transactions during 2010 and one in early 2011, we and RBS sold substantially all of the businesses and assets of our joint-venture partnership that comprised our commodities-marketing businesses. As we conclude the transactions to divest the businesses, we expect to recover our remaining $779 million investment in the partnership throughout 2011, including $329 million received in April 2011. We are providing transitional back-up guarantees, some of which may continue for a prolonged period of time. RBS or JP Morgan, one of the buyers in the sales transactions, have fully indemnified us for any claims or losses in connection with the related transactions.
We provide additional information about RBS Sempra Commodities and the sales transactions and guarantees in Notes 4 and 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in Notes 3, 4, 5 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
We have significant investments in several trusts to provide for future payments of pensions and other postretirement benefits, and nuclear decommissioning. The value of the trust funds’ investments declined in 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 due to a decrease in the equity market and volatility in the fixed income market. Values increased from favorable market activity later in 2009 and in 2010. However, these markets continue to be volatile. The changes in asset values have not affected the trust funds’ abilities to make required payments, but may impact funding requirem entsrequirements for pension and other postretirement benefit plans. At the Sempra Utilities, funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates.

We discuss our principal credit agreements more fully in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in Note 65 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra Utilities

The Sempra Utilities expect

SoCalGas expects that cash flows from operations and debt issuances will continue to be adequate to meet operating andits capital expenditure requirements. DueIn March 2011, Sempra Energy made a $200 million capital contribution to the extended review period associated with the Sunrise Powerlink projectSDG&E, and the resultant delaySDG&E expects its cash flows from operations and debt issuances will be adequate to meet its future capital expenditure requirements.
SoCalGas declared and paid a $50 million common dividend to PE in initiating construction activities,2011 and a $100 million common dividend in 2010. PE paid corresponding dividends to Sempra Energy in both years. In 2009, SDG&E declared and paid a $150 million common dividend to Sempra Energy in the first quarter of 2009. Energy.
However, the level of future common dividends from SDG&E and SoCa lGasSoCalGas may be reduced or eliminated during periods of increased capital expenditures. The level of future common dividends from PE is dependent upon common dividends paid by SoCalGas. Sempra Energy may from time to time make additional equity contributions to SDG&E orand SoCalGas to support the Sempra Utilities'Utilities’ capital expenditure programs.

As we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein, SDG&E’s and therefore Sempra Energy’s cash flows are likely to be adversely impacted by cash flows related to the 2007 wildfire litigation.

Sempra Commodities

We discuss above the completed and pending transactions and anticipated cash flows related to the dissolution of the RBS Sempra Commodities joint venture, which generally comprises the Sempra Commodities business unit. The impact of the sale transactions on cash flow will depend on many factors, including the final proceeds received from the transactions, potential changes to the partnership agreement, and any sales of residual assets. Our partner in the joint venture, RBS, is obligated to provide the joint venture with all working-capital requirements and credit support. However, we are providing transitional back-up guarantees, some of which may continue for a prolonged period of time. RBS or JP Morgan have fully indemnified us for any claims or losses in connection with these arrangements.

We account for our investment in the partnership under the equity method. RBS Sempra Commodities intends to distribute all of its net income on an annual basis, although the distributions are within the discretion of the board of directors of the partnership. In limited cases, the partnership may retain earnings allocable to the partners to replenish capital depleted through losses. In the first nine months of 2010, we received cash distributions from the partnership of $1 billion, which includes our share of proceeds from the transaction with J.P. Morgan Ventures. In the first nine months of 2009, we received cash distributions from the partnership of $407 million. Based on the joint venture’s results through the third quarter of 2010, we currently do not expect distributions for 2010 results to be material.

We provide additional information about RBS Sempra Commodities and the sales transactions in Notes 4 and 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in Notes 3, 4, 6 and 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra Generation

We expect Sempra Generation to require funds for the development of electric generation facilities, primarily renewable energy projects. Projects at Sempra Generation may be financed through a combination of operating cash flow, project financing, funds from the parent, external borrowings, partnering in joint ventures and external borrowings.the sale of its El Dorado natural gas power plant to SDG&E on October 1, 2011. Cash flows from operations at Sempra Generation are expected to decrease upon the expiration of theirits contract with the DWR in lateSeptember 2011, due to less favorable pricing on replacement contracts.contracts, and the sale of El Dorado. Also, Sempra Generation may not be able to replace all of the lost revenue. We expect the litigation settlement recorded in the first quarter
Some of 2010 related to the DWR litigation to be funded from operations.  

Sempra Generation's long-term power sale contracts may contain collateral requirements, although the DWR contract doescontracts do not contain such requirements. The collateral arrangements require Sempra Generation and/or the counterparty to post cash, guarantees or letters of credit to the other party for exposure in excess of established thresholds. Sempra Generation may be required t oto provide collateral when market price movements adversely affect the counterparty's cost of replacement energy supplies if Sempra Generation fails to deliver the contracted amounts. Sempra Generation had no outstanding collateral requirements under such contracts at September 30, 2010.

March 31, 2011.

Sempra Pipelines & Storage

Sempra Pipelines & Storage is expected to require funding from the parent or from external sources to fund projects and investments, including the development and expansion of its natural gas storage projects.

FACTORS INFLUENCING FUTURE PERFORMANCE


SEMPRA ENERGY OVERVIEW

The Sempra Utilities' operations generally provide relatively stable earnings and liquidity. However, for the next few years, SDG&E and SoCalGas intend to limit their common stock dividends to reinvest their earnings in significant capital projects.

Long-term contracts at Sempra Global's long-term contracts alsobusinesses generally provide relatively stable earnings and liquidity, but are subject to variability due to fluctuations in commodity prices. Also, Sempra Generation's contract with the DWR, which provides a significant portion of Sempra Generation's revenues, ends in lateSeptember 2011, and Sempra Generation will sell its El Dorado natural gas generation plant to SDG&E on October 1, 2011. Because it is unable to forecast with certainty futureBased on current market prices for electricity, prices and the cost of natural gas, contracts it enters into to replace the DWR contract, if obtained, or merchant (daily) sales maywill provide substantially lower earnings. Sempra Generation is also undertaking and investing in several projects for the construction of renewable generation facilities, with planned in-service dates ranging from late 2010mid-2011 to 2012.

2013.

On April 6, 2011, Sempra Pipelines & Storage increased its investment in two utilities in South America. We expect the acquisition to be accretive to our earnings per share. We discuss the acquisition in Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. Sempra Pipelines & Storage is also expected to provide earnings from construction programsprojects when completed and other investments, but will require substantial funding for these investments.
At Sempra LNG, until there are firm LNG supply or capacity services contracts from third parties that would subscribe to 100 percent of the capacity of Sempra LNG's Cameron receipt terminal, Sempra LNG will seek to purchase and market short-term LNG supplies and sell short-term capacity, which may result in greater variability in revenues and earnings.

The Sempra Utilities' performance will depend primarily on the ratemaking and regulatory process, environmental regulations, economic conditions, actions by the California legislature to address the state budget crisis and the changing energy marketplace. Their performance will also depend on the successful completion of capital projects that we discuss in various sections of this report. As the 2008 General Rate Case provides for fixed annual increases through 2011 rather than adjustments based on inflation indices as in the past, performance will depend on the Sempra Utilit ies' ability to manage costs, including bad debts. Starting inIn the third quarter of 2009, SDG&E's liability insurance premiums increased significantly, by approximately $40 million (pretax) annually, due to the increased costs of wildfire liability coverage as compared to the previous policy year. Starting inIn the third quarter of 2010, SDG&E has secured additional insurance coverage of approximately $560 million, providing SDG&E with respect to any future wildfire liabilities. SDG&E's maximum loss recovery due to a wildfire incident from insurance carriers is nowof approximately $960 million, with the remainder of Sempra Energy's business units' maximum coverage for a wildfire incident remaining at $400 million, the same as in the previous policy year. StartingAs a result of the increase in SDG&E's wildfire liability insurance coverage in the third quarter of 2010, SDG&E's insurance premiums increaseincreased by approximately $30 million (pretax) annually for the increased coverage.

In regard to the 2007 wildfire litigation, SDG&E has exceeded its&E's settlement of claims and the estimate of outstanding claims and legal fees is approximately $1.9 billion, which is in excess of the $1.1 billion of liability in suranceinsurance coverage in settling wildfire claims.and the $444 million of proceeds received as a result of the settlement with Cox Communications. However, itSDG&E has concluded that it is probable that it will be permitted to recover from its utility customers substantially all reasonably incurred costs of resolving wildfire claims in excess of its liability insurance coverage and any amounts recovered from other potentially responsible parties. Consequently, Sempra Energy and SDG&E expect no significant earnings impact from the resolution of the remaining wildfire claims. However, SDG&E’s cash flow willmay be adversely affected by timing differences between the resolution of claims and recoveries from other potentially responsible parties and utility customers, which may extend over a number of years. In addition, recovery from customers will require future regulatory actions, and a failure to obtain recovery, or any negative assessment of the likelihood of recovery, would likely have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy's and SDG&E's cash flows and results of operations.

SDG&E will continue to gather information to evaluate and assess the remaining wildfire claims and the likelihood, amount and timing of related recoveries from other potentially responsible parties and utility customers and will make appropriate adjustments to wildfire reserves and the related regulatory asset as additional information becomes available. We provide additional information concerning these matters in Notes 9 and 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

herein and in Notes 14, 15 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

SDG&E has a 20-percent ownership interest in San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), a 2,150-MW nuclear generating facility near San Clemente, California. SONGS is operated by Southern California Edison (SCE) and is subject to the jurisdiction of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). SCE is currently addressing a number of regulatory and performance issues at SONGS, and the NRC has required SCE to take actions to provide greater assurance of compliance by SONGS personnel. SCE continues to implement plans and address the identified issues, however a number of these issues remain outstanding. To the extent that these issues persist, the likelihood of further required action by SCE persists, which may result in increased SONGS operating costs and/or adversely impacted operations. Currently, SDG&E is allowed to fully offset its share of SONGS operating costs in revenue. If further action is required, it may result in an increase in SDG&E’s Operation and Maintenance Expense, with any increase being fully offset in Operating Revenues – Electric or, if electric generation is adversely impacted, require SDG&E to procure additional electricity supply from other sources.
In light of the aftermath and the significant safety events at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan resulting from the recent earthquake and tsunami, the NRC plans to perform additional operation and safety reviews of nuclear facilities in the United States. The lessons learned from the events in Japan and the results of the NRC reviews may impact future operations and capital requirements at nuclear facilities in the United States, including the operations and capital requirements at SONGS. We provide more information about SONGS in Note 10 of the Notes 7, 15to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and 17in Notes 6, 14 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report,Report.
Pending the outcome of the various regulatory agency evaluations of natural gas pipeline safety regulations, practices and procedures, Sempra Energy, including the Sempra Utilities, may incur incremental expense and capital investment associated with its natural gas pipeline operations and investments. If incremental expense and capital investment is required by either SDG&E or SoCalGas, we would expect to file a request with the CPUC to recover any incremental expenses incurred from our customers in rates and to request any capital investment required above what is approved and authorized in our 2012 GRC application as incremental rate base. We provide more information in “Natural Gas Pipeline Operations Safety Assessments” in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.
Both SDG&E and SoCalGas have filed their 2012 GRC applications with the CPUC to establish their authorized revenue requirements for the 2012 Test Year and the ratemaking mechanisms to update the authorized revenue on an annual basis over the subsequent three-year (2013-2015) period. Since these applications were filed, Congress passed the 2010 Tax Act which, among other things, included provisions for companies to elect bonus depreciation on certain investments made after September 8, 2010 through December 31, 2012 for federal income tax purposes. The use of bonus depreciation, while reducing cash tax obligations in the near term, results in incremental deferred tax liabilities which reduce both SDG&E's and SoCalGas' rate base upon which authorized revenue requirements are determined. In March 2011, the Internal Revenue Service issued technical guidance on the application of the bonus depreciation provisions of the 2010 Tax Act. SDG&E and SoCalGas are currently analyzing how this guidance will impact the federal income tax depreciation deductions the companies expect to claim for 2011, as well as quantifying the incremental deferred federal income tax liabilities generated. After applying the incremental deferred tax liabilities to each company’s rate base, assuming all other factors in the 2012 GRC application remain the same, it will result in revenue requirements that are less than what the companies have requested in their 2012 GRC applications.
The scoping memo issued by the CPUC in March 2011 set a final decision on the GRC to be issued around the month of March 2012, with retroactive application to allow recovery of SDG&E's and SoCalGas' authorized 2012 revenue requirements to January 1, 2012. If the CPUC's final decision grants a significantly lower authorized revenue requirement, it could result in an adverse effect to the Sempra Utilities' cash flows and results of operations starting in 2012. We provide more information about the GRC in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in Items 1 and 1ANote 15 of our 2009the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

SDG&E's an d SoCalGas'next CPUC cost of capital decisions include provisions that can resultproceeding is scheduled to be filed in adjustments, upwards or downwards,April 2012 for a 2013 test year. SoCalGas has also requested to their return on capital in periods betweenfile its next CPUC cost of capital filings. Asproceeding on the same schedule as SDG&E. A cost of capital proceeding determines the authorized capital structure, authorized rate of return and authorized rate for recovery of debt service costs on SDG&E's electric distribution and generation assets and on both companies' natural gas transmission and distribution assets. SDG&E's and SoCalGas' current CPUC authorized return on equity (ROE) is 11.10 percent and 10.82 percent, respectively, with authorized common equity capital structures of 49.00 percent and 48.00 percent, respectively. If the proceedings result in either a resultreduction in the authorized ROE or in the authorized common equity capital structure, it would have an adverse effect on the respective company's cash flows and results of operations starting in 2013. Also, to the worldwide recession, interest rates have remainedextent that either company's authorized rate for recovery of debt service costs is higher than their actual rate of debt service costs at relatively low levels for an extended periodthe time of time. If the cost of capital benchmark interest rates,proceeding, the authorized rate for either company, recordedrecovery of debt service costs will be reduced to the actual rate of debt service costs, which would adversely affect the respective company's cash flows and results of operations starting in 2013. We provide more information about the cost of capital proceedings in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the third quarterAnnual Report.
The current FERC formulaic rate methodology for SDG&E's electric transmission assets will be up for review in 2013, with the new rates effective in September 2013. This proceeding will assess the rate-making methodology to be employed for SDG&E's FERC-regulated operations, including a determination of 2010 were to continue at the same levels through the second quarterSDG&E's FERC-authorized ROE and recovery of 2011, oneoperations and maintenance expenses. If this proceeding results in a reduction from SDG&E's current authorized ROE of 11.35 percent or both companies’ authorized return on capital could be adjusted downward effective January 1, 2012. It is estimated that if such a downward adjustment were to occur, it would result in an adverse impact todetermination for the recovery of operations and maintenance expenses, it would adversely affect SDG&E's cash flows and results of operations.

Once approved by the CPUC, the applications would establish return on capitalbusinesses and costassets of debt recovery for both SDG&E and SoCalGas starting in J anuary 2013.

In 2008, we completed the formation of a partnership, RBS Sempra Commodities, to own and operate our commodities-marketing businesses, which generally comprised our Sempra Commodities segment. In November 2009, RBS announced its intention to divest its interest in the joint venture following a directive from the European Commission to dispose of certain assets. In February 2010, Sempra Energy, RBS and the partnership entered into an agreement to sell certain businesses within the partnership, which agreement was consummated on July 1, 2010. In September 2010, the parties announced an agreement to sell the U.S. retail commodity marketing business of RBS Sempra Commodities, which closed on November 1, 2010. In October 2010, the joint venture entered into an agreement to sell most of its remaining assets to J.P. Morgan Ventures. This transaction is expected to close by year-end. Our joint venture partner, RBS, continues to be obligated to provid e the partnership with all working-capital requirements and credit support.

partnership. We expect our share of the remaining proceeds from the sales of all of the joint venture's businesses and related cash distributions to total $1.8 billion to $1.9 billion. These distributions are netapproximate $779 million, of expected transition costs and are not expected to fully recover the goodwill includedwhich $329 million was received in the carrying value of our investment in the joint venture. Accordingly, in the third quarter of 2010, we recorded an after-tax charge of $139 million to reduce our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities.

Future earnings and distributions from the partnership will depend on the profitability achieved in the partnership's remaining businesses through their final disposition dates and the continued ability of RBS to provide capital and credit support for the partnership. Results of the joint venture in the first three quarters of 2010 were adversely impac ted by the sale on July 1, 2010, of the global metals and oil businesses and the European natural gas and power business; lower volatility in the U.S. natural gas and power business; and the disruptions caused by the process to sell the partnership's businesses.April 2011. We provide additional information in Notes 4 and 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in Notes 3, 4, 6 and 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

herein.

We may be further impacted by depressed and rapidly changing economic conditions. Moreover, the dollar has fluctuated significantly compared to some foreign currencies, especially in Mexico and South America where we have significant operations. North American natural gas prices, which affect profitability at Sempra Generation and Sempra LNG, are currently significantly below Asian and European prices. These factors could, if they remain unchanged, adversely affect profitability.

We discuss additional matters that could affect our future performance in Notes 9 and 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in Notes 14, 15 through 17and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES REFORMS

In July 2010, federal legislation to reform financial markets was enacted that significantly alters how over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives are regulated, which may impact all of our businesses. The law increased regulatory oversight of OTC energy derivatives, including (1) requiring standardized OTC derivatives to be traded on registered exchanges regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), (2) imposing new and potentially higher capital and margin requirements and (3) authorizing the establishment of overall vol umevolume and position limits. The law gives the CFTC authority to exempt end users of energy commodities which could reduce, but not eliminate, the applicability of these measures to us and other end users. These requirements could cause our OTC transactions to be more costly and have an adverse effect on our liquidity due to additional capital requirements. In addition, as these reforms aim to standardize OTC products, they could limit the effectiveness of our hedging programs, because we would have less ability to tailor OTC derivatives to match the precise risk we are seeking to protect.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Sempra Energy, SDG&E, PE and SoCalGas have designed and maintain disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed in their respective reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is accumulated and communicated to the management of each company, including each respective Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regardi ngregarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating these controls and procedures, the management of each company recognizes that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives; therefore, the management of each company applies judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of other possible controls and procedures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers of Sempra Energy, SDG&E, PE and SoCalGas, each company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on these evaluations, the Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers of Sempra Energy, SDG&E, PE and SoCalGas concluded that their respective company's dis closuredisclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have been no changes in the companies' internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the companies' internal control over financial reporting.




PART II – OTHER INFORMATION




ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


We are not party to, and our property is not the subject of, any material pending legal proceedings (other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our businesses) except for the matters 1) described in Notes 9 and 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and Notes 14, 15 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, or 2) referred to in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" herein and in the Annual Report.




ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS


There have not been any material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, except for the following additional risk that was disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010:

2010.



RECOVERY OF 2007 WILDFIRE LITIGATION COSTS

As we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein, SDG&E is subject to numerous lawsuits arising out of the San Diego County wildfires in 2007. It expects that substantially all reasonably incurred costs of resolving 2007 wildfire claims that exceed its liability insurance coverage and any amounts recovered from other potentially responsible parties will be recovered from utility customers. However, recovery from cu stomers will require future regulatory actions, and a failure to obtain recovery, or any negative assessment of the likelihood of recovery, would likely have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s and SDG&E’s cash flows and results of operations.
