SEMPRA ENERGY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
Sempra Energy
Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Sempra Energy, a California-based energy-services holding company, and its consolidated subsidiaries and VIEs. Sempra Global is the holding company for most of our subsidiaries that are not subject to California or Texas utility regulation. Sempra Energy’s businesses were managed within 6 separate reportable segments until April 2019 and 5 separate reportable segments thereafter, which we discuss in Note 12. In the first quarter of 2019, our Sempra LNG & Midstream segment was renamed “Sempra LNG.” This segment name change had no impact on our historical position, results of operations, cash flow or segment level results previously reported. All references in these Notes to our reportable segments are not intended to refer to any legal entity with the same or similar name.
SDG&E
SDG&E’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include its accounts and the accounts of a VIE of which SDG&E was the primary beneficiary until August 23, 2019, at which time SDG&E deconsolidated the VIE, as we discuss below in “Variable Interest Entities.”VIE. SDG&E’s common stock is wholly owned by Enova Corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy.
SoCalGas
SoCalGas’ common stock is wholly owned by Pacific Enterprises, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy.
In this report, we refer to SDG&E and SoCalGas collectively as the California Utilities.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
This is a combined report of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas. We provide separate information for SDG&E and SoCalGas as required. References in this report to “we,” “us,” “our” and “Sempra Energy Consolidated” are to Sempra Energy and its consolidated entities, unless otherwise indicated by the context. We have eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions within the consolidated financial statements of each reporting entity.
Throughout this report, we refer to the following as Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements when discussed together or collectively:
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes of Sempra Energy and its subsidiaries and VIEs;
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes of SDG&E and its VIE (until deconsolidation of the VIE on August 23, 2019); and
the Condensed Financial Statements and related Notes of SoCalGas.
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes of Sempra Energy and its subsidiaries and VIEs;
the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes of SDG&E and its VIE (until deconsolidation of Otay Mesa VIE in August 2019); and
the Condensed Financial Statements and related Notes of SoCalGas.
We have prepared the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP and in accordance with the interim-period-reporting requirements of Form 10-Q.10-Q and applicable rules of the SEC. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.year or for any other period. We evaluated events and transactions that occurred after September 30, 20192020 through the date the financial statements were issued and, in the opinion of management, the accompanying statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. These adjustments are only of a normal, recurring nature.
All December 31, 20182019 balance sheet information in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been derived from our audited 20182019 Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, which for Sempra Energy has been retrospectively adjusted for discontinued operations, as we discuss below.Report. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the interim-period-reporting provisions of U.S. GAAP and the SEC.

29


We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report and the impact of the adoption of new accounting standards on those policies in Note 2 below. We follow the same accounting policies for interim period reporting purposes.
You should read the information in this Quarterly Reportreport in conjunction with the Annual Report.
Discontinued Operations
OnIn January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses based on our strategic focus on North America. We determined that these businesses, which previously constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment, and certain activities associated with these businesses, met the held-for-sale criteria. These businesses are presented as discontinued operations, which we discuss further in Note 5, as the planned sales represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Throughout this report,We completed the financial information for all periods presented has been adjusted to reflectsales in the presentationsecond quarter of these businesses as discontinued operations, which we discuss further in Note 5.2020. Our discussions in the Notes below relate only to our continuing operations unless otherwise noted.
Regulated Operations
The California Utilities and Sempra Mexico’s natural gas distribution utility, Ecogas, prepare their financial statements in accordance with the provisions of U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations. We discuss revenue recognition and the effects of regulation and revenue recognition at our utilities in Notes 13 and 4 below and in Notes 1, 3 and 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Our Sempra Texas Utilities segment is comprised of our equity method investments in holding companies that own interests in regulated electric transmission and distribution utilities in Texas and prepare their financial statements in accordance with the provisions of U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations.Texas.
Our Sempra Mexico segment includes the operating companies of our subsidiary, IEnova.IEnova, as well as certain holding companies and risk management activity. Certain business activities at IEnova are regulated by the Comisión Reguladora de Energía (Energy Regulatory Commission of Mexico)CRE and meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP. Pipeline projects under construction at IEnova that meet the regulatory accounting requirements of U.S. GAAP record the impact of AFUDC related to equity. We discuss AFUDC below and in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported on theSempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the sum of such amounts reported on theSempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

CREDIT LOSSES
We are exposed to credit losses from financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other accounts receivable and amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates. We are also exposed to credit losses from off-balance sheet arrangements through our guarantees of Cameron LNG JV’s debt.
We regularly monitor and evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses, if necessary, for trade and other accounts receivable using a combination of factors, including past-due status based on contractual terms, trends in write-offs, the age of the receivable, historical and industry trends, counterparty creditworthiness, economic conditions and specific events, such as bankruptcies. We write off financial assets measured at amortized cost in the period in which we determine they are not recoverable. We record recoveries of amounts previously written off when it is known that they will be recovered.
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Utilities have implemented certain measures to assist customers, including suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment for residential and small business customers, waiving late payment fees for business customers, and offering flexible payment plans for customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. As we discuss in Note 4, the CPUC authorized each of the California Utilities to establish a CPPMA to track and request recovery of incremental costs, including uncollectible expenses, associated with complying with residential and small business customer protection measures implemented by the CPUC related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In June 2020, the CPUC issued a decision in a separate proceeding addressing service disconnections that, among other things, allows each of the California Utilities to establish a two-way balancing account to record the uncollectible expenses associated with residential customers’ inability to pay their electric or gas bills. This decision also directs the California Utilities to establish an AMP that provides successfully participating, income-qualified residential customers with relief from outstanding utility bill amounts. Refer to Note 4 for further discussion.
The California Utilities have recorded increases in their allowances for expected credit losses as of September 30, 2020 primarily related to expected forgiveness of outstanding utility bill amounts for residential customers eligible under the AMP. Our businesses will continue to monitor macroeconomic factors and customer payment patterns when evaluating their allowances for credit losses in future reporting periods, which may increase significantly due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors.
We provide below allowances and changes in allowances for credit losses for trade and other accounts receivable, excluding allowances related to amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet arrangements, which we discuss separately below the table.

(3)    Balance at September 30, 2020 includes $37 million and $13 million in Accounts Receivable – Trade, Net and Accounts Receivable – Other, Net, respectively.

For amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet arrangements, on a quarterly basis, we evaluate credit losses and record allowances for expected credit losses, if necessary, based on credit quality indicators such as external credit ratings, published default rate studies, the maturity date of the instrument and past delinquencies. However, we do not record allowances for expected credit losses related to accrued interest receivable on loans due from unconsolidated affiliates because we write off such amounts, if any, through a reversal of interest income in the period we determine such amounts are uncollectible. In the absence of external credit ratings, we may utilize an internally developed credit rating based on our analysis of a counterparty’s financial statements to determine our expected credit losses.
31


As we discuss below in “Transactions with Affiliates,” we have loans due from unconsolidated affiliates with varying tenors, interest rates and currencies. We provide below the changes in allowances for credit losses for loans and other amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates.

As we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, Sempra Energy has provided guarantees for a maximum aggregate amount of $4.0 billion associated with Cameron LNG JV’s debt obligations. We established a liability for credit losses of $6 million for this off-balance sheet arrangement upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 and we subsequently reduced this liability by $3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 through a reduction to credit loss expense, which is included in O&M on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. At September 30, 2020, expected credit losses of $3 million are included in Other Current Liabilities on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is the risk of loss that would be incurred as a result of nonperformance by our counterparties on their contractual obligations. We have policies governing the management of credit risk that are administered by the respective credit departments at each of our segments and overseen by their separate risk management committees.
This oversight includes calculating current and potential credit risk on a regular basis and monitoring actual balances in comparison to approved limits. We establish credit limits based on risk and return considerations under terms customarily available in the industry. We avoid concentration of counterparties whenever possible, and we believe our credit policies significantly reduce overall credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of:
prospective counterparties’ financial condition (including credit ratings)
collateral requirements
the use of standardized agreements that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty
downgrade triggers
We believe that we have provided adequate reserves for counterparty nonperformance in our allowances for credit losses.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, four customers each represented 10% or more of Sempra Mexico’s revenues (including intercompany transactions with affiliates consolidated by Sempra Energy). Additionally, for the same period, certain of our unconsolidated equity method investees (Oncor Holdings, Cameron LNG JV and IMG JV) had customers that each represented 10% or more of their respective revenues.
When our development projects become operational, we rely significantly on the ability of suppliers to perform under long-term agreements and on our ability to enforce contract terms in the event of nonperformance. Also, the factors that we consider in evaluating a development project include negotiating customer and supplier agreements and, therefore, we rely on these agreements for future performance. We also may condition our decision to go forward on development projects on first obtaining these customer and supplier agreements.

WILDFIRE FUND
On July 12, 2019, AB 1054 and AB 111 (together, the Wildfire Legislation) wereLegislation was signed into law. The Wildfire Legislation addresseslaw to address certain issues related to catastrophic wildfires in the State of California and their impact on electric IOUs. Investor-owned gas distribution utilities such as SoCalGas are not covered by this legislation. The issues addressed include wildfire mitigation, cost recovery standards and requirements, a wildfire fund, a cap on liability, and the establishment of a wildfire safety board.
The Wildfire Legislation requires SDG&E to install at least $215 million of fire risk mitigation capital improvements, which will be the first $215 million of capital included in its wildfire mitigation plan, and recover its securitized financing costs without a ROE.
The Wildfire Legislation establishes a revised legal standard for the recovery of wildfire costs (Revised Prudent Manager Standard) and establishes a fund (the Wildfire Fund) to provide liquidity to SDG&E, PG&E and Edison (each a California electric IOU) to pay IOU wildfire-related claims in the event that the governmental agency responsible for determining causation determines the applicable IOU’s equipment caused the ignition of a wildfire, the primary insurance coverage is exceeded and certain other conditions are satisfied. The primary purpose of the Wildfire Fund is to pool resources provided by shareholders and ratepayers of the IOUs and make those resources available to reimburse the IOUs for third-party wildfire claims incurred after July 12, 2019, the effective date ofWe discuss the Wildfire Legislation subject to certain limitations.
An IOU may seek payment from the Wildfire Fund for settled or adjudicated third-party damage claims arising from certain wildfires that exceed,further in aggregate in a calendar year, the greater of $1 billion or the IOU’s required amount of insurance coverage as recommended by the Wildfire Fund’s administrator. Wildfire claims approved by the Wildfire Fund’s administrator will be paid by the Wildfire Fund to the IOU to the extent funds are available. These utilized funds will be subject to review by the CPUC, which will make a determination as to the degree an IOU’s conduct related to an ignition of a wildfire was prudent or imprudent. The Revised Prudent Manager Standard requires that the CPUC apply clear standards when reviewing wildfire liability losses paid when determining the reasonableness of an IOU’s conduct related to an ignition. Under this standard, the conduct under review related to the ignition may include factors within and beyond the IOU’s control, including humidity, temperature and winds. Costs and expenses may be allocated for cost recovery in full or in part. Also, under this standard, an IOU’s conduct will be deemed reasonable if a valid annual safety certification is in place at the timeNote 1 of the ignition, unless a serious doubt is raised, in which case the burden shiftsNotes to the utility to dispel that doubt. The IOUs will receive an annual safety certification from the CPUC if they meet various requirements.


If an IOU has maintained a valid annual safety certification, to the extent it is found to be imprudent, claims will be reimbursable by the IOU to the Wildfire Fund up to a cap based on the IOU’s rate base. The aggregate requirement to reimburse the Wildfire Fund over a trailing three calendar year period is capped at 20 percent of the equity portion of an IOU’s electric transmission and distribution rate baseConsolidated Financial Statements in the year of the prudency determination. SDG&E received its annual safety certification from the CPUC on July 26, 2019, which is valid for 12 months. Based on 2018 rate base, the initial liability cap for SDG&E is approximately $825 million, which will be adjusted annually. The liability cap will apply on a rolling three-year basis so long as future annual safety certifications are received and the Wildfire Fund has not been terminated, which could occur if funds are exhausted. Amounts in excess of the liability cap and amounts that are determined to be prudently incurred do not need to be reimbursed by an IOU to the Wildfire Fund. The Wildfire Fund does not have a specified term and coverage will continue until the assets of the Wildfire Fund are exhausted and the Wildfire Fund is terminated, in which case, the remaining funds will be transferred to California’s general fund to be used for fire risk mitigation programs.
The Wildfire Fund could initially be funded up to $10.5 billion by a loan from the State of California Surplus Money Investment Fund, $2 billion of which was loaned to the Wildfire Fund in August 2019. Such lending will subsequently be financed through an anticipated DWR bond, securitized through a dedicated surcharge on ratepayers’ bills attributable to the DWR. In October 2019, the CPUC adopted a decision authorizing a non-bypassable charge to be collected by the IOUs to support the anticipated DWR bond issuance authorized by AB 1054. The CPUC decision also determined that ratepayers of non-participating electrical corporations shall not pay the non-bypassable charge. PG&E has agreed to participate in the Wildfire Fund, subject to bankruptcy court approval. Accordingly, if PG&E is unable to participate in the Wildfire Fund, its customers will not pay the non-bypassable charge, resulting in significantly lower Wildfire Fund contributions from ratepayers than the anticipated $10.5 billion.
The Wildfire Fund could also be funded by up to $7.5 billion in initial shareholder contributions from the IOUs (SDG&E’s share is $322.5 million, PG&E’s share is $4.8 billion and Edison’s share is $2.4 billion). The IOUs could also be required to make annual shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund with an aggregate value of $3 billion over a 10-year period (SDG&E’s share is $129 million, PG&E’s share is $1.9 billion and Edison’s share is $945 million). If PG&E is unable to participate in the Wildfire Fund, SDG&E’s and Edison’s aggregate shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund will not change and are expected to total approximately $3.8 billion. When estimating the period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset that we discuss below, we assume PG&E will participate in the Wildfire Fund. The contributions are not subject to rate recovery.
SDG&E paid its initial shareholder contribution of $322.5 million to the Wildfire Fund in September 2019. SDG&E funded this contribution with proceeds from an equity contribution from Sempra Energy. Sempra Energy funded the equity contribution to SDG&E with proceeds from settling forward sale agreements through physical delivery of shares of Sempra Energy common stock in exchange for cash, which we discuss in “Shareholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interests – Sempra Energy Common Stock Offerings” in Note 1. Edison paid its initial shareholder contribution in September 2019.Annual Report.
In a complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in July 2019, plaintiffs seek to invalidate AB 1054, which established the Wildfire Fund, based on allegations that the legislation violates federal law. That court dismissed the complaint and the plaintiffs have petitioned the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to review the dismissal.
In June 2020, the CPUC approved SDG&E’s 2020 wildfire mitigation plan, which will be effective until the CPUC approves a new plan. In addition, on September 14, 2020, SDG&E received its 2020 safety certification from the Wildfire Safety Division of the CPUC. The California Attorney Generalcertificate is valid for 12 months from the issue date.
In July 2020, PG&E received bankruptcy court approval to participate in the Wildfire Fund and has movedmade its required contributions to dismiss the complaint.Wildfire Fund. As a result of PG&E’s participation, the Wildfire Fund will be funded up to $21 billion.
Wildfire Fund Asset and Obligation
In the third quarter of 2019, SDG&E recorded both a Wildfire Fund asset and a related obligation of $451.5 million for its commitment to make shareholder contributions totaling $451.5 million,to the Wildfire Fund, measured at present value as of July 25, 2019 (the date by which both Edison and SDG&E opted to contribute to the Wildfire Fund). SDG&E is amortizing the Wildfire Fund asset to O&M on a straight-line basis over a 10-yearthe estimated period of benefit, as adjusted for utilization by the participating IOUs. The estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset is based on several assumptions, including, but not limited to:
historical wildfire experience15 years. SDG&E expects to make annual shareholder contributions of each IOU in$12.9 million through December 31, 2028. SDG&E accretes the State of California, including frequency and severity of the wildfires;
thepresent value of property potentially damaged by wildfires;
the effectiveness of wildfire risk mitigation efforts by each IOU;
liability cap of each IOU;
IOU prudency determination levels;
FERC jurisdictional allocation levels; and
insurance coverage levels.
The use of different assumptions, or changes to the assumptions used, could have a significant impact on the estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset.obligation until the liability is settled.


We willSDG&E periodically reevaluateevaluates the estimated period of benefit of the Wildfire Fund asset based on actual experience and changes in the above assumptions. SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record a charge against earnings in the period when there is a reduction of the available coverage due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs. The reduction to the Wildfire Fund asset may be proportionate to the Wildfire Fund’s consumption (i.e., recoveries for outstanding wildfire claims that are recoverable from the Wildfire Fund, net of anticipated or actual reimbursement to the Wildfire Fund by the responsible IOU, would decrease the Wildfire Fund asset and remaining available coverage). Incoverage. Although California has experienced some of the three months ended September 30, 2019, there were no such knownlargest wildfires in its history in 2020 (measured by acres burned), including fires in each participating IOU’s service territory, SDG&E is not aware of any claims from the IOUsmade by any participating IOU requiring an incrementala reduction of the Wildfire Fund asset.

Wildfire Fund Obligation
SDG&E recorded a Wildfire Fund obligation for its commitment to make shareholder contributions totaling $451.5 million, measured at present value as of July 25, 2019 (the date by which both EdisonSheets and SDG&E opted to contribute to the Wildfire Fund). SDG&E paid its initial shareholder contribution of $322.5 million to the Wildfire Fund in September 2019. At September 30, 2019, SDG&E expects to make annual shareholder contributions of $12.9 million in each of the next 10 years by January 1 of each year, beginning July 25, 2019. SDG&E accretes the present value of the Wildfire Fund obligation to O&M until the liability is settled.

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We consolidate a VIE if we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary is based on qualitative and quantitative analyses, which assess:
the purpose and design of the VIE;
the nature of the VIE’s risks and the risks we absorb;
the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and
the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.
the purpose and design of the VIE;
the nature of the VIE’s risks and the risks we absorb;
the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and
the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE.
We will continue to evaluate our VIEs for any changes that may impact our determination of whether an entity is a VIE and if we are the primary beneficiary.
SDG&E
SDG&E’s power procurement is subject to reliability requirements that may require SDG&E to enter into various PPAs that include variable interests. SDG&E evaluates the respective entities to determine if variable interests exist and, based on the qualitative and quantitative analyses described above, if SDG&E, and thereby Sempra Energy, is the primary beneficiary.


Tolling Agreements
SDG&E has agreements under which it purchases power generated by facilities for which it supplies all of the natural gas to fuel the power plant (i.e., tolling agreements). SDG&E’s obligation to absorb natural gas costs may be a significant variable interest. In addition, SDG&E has the power to direct the dispatch of electricity generated by these facilities. Based on our analysis, the ability to direct the dispatch of electricity may have the most significant impact on the economic performance of the entity owning the generating facility because of the associated exposure to the cost of natural gas, which fuels the plants, and the value of electricity produced. To the extent that SDG&E (1) is obligated to purchase and provide fuel to operate the facility, (2) has the power to direct the dispatch, and (3) purchases all of the output from the facility for a substantial portion of the facility’s useful

life, SDG&E may be the primary beneficiary of the entity owning the generating facility. SDG&E determines if it is the primary beneficiary in these cases based on a qualitative approach in which we considerit considers the operational characteristics of the facility, including its expected power generation output relative to its capacity to generate and the financial structure of the entity, among other factors. If we determineSDG&E determines that SDG&Eit is the primary beneficiary, SDG&E and Sempra Energy consolidate the entity that owns the facility as a VIE.
Otay Mesa VIE
Through October 3, 2019, SDG&E had a tolling agreement to purchase power generated at OMEC, a 605-MW generating facility owned by OMEC LLC, which is a VIE that we refer to as Otay Mesa VIE. Under the terms of a related agreement, OMEC LLC could have required SDG&E to purchase the power plant (referred to as the put option) on or before October 3, 2019 for $280 million, subject to adjustments, or upon earlier termination of the PPA. SDG&E determined that it was the primary beneficiary of Otay Mesa VIE, and therefore, SDG&E and Sempra Energy consolidated Otay Mesa VIE.
In October 2018, SDG&E and OMEC LLC signed a resource adequacy capacity agreement for a term that would commence at the expiration of the current tolling agreement in October 2019 and end in August 2024. The capacity agreement was approved by OMEC LLC’s lenders and the CPUC in December 2018 and February 2019, respectively. However, given certain then pending requests for rehearing of the CPUC’s decision approving the capacity agreement, on March 28, 2019, OMEC LLC exercised the put option requiring SDG&E to purchase the power plant. On August 6, 2019, the CPUC denied the rehearing requests, and on August 23, 2019, SDG&E and OMEC LLC executed an amended resource adequacy capacity agreement that irrevocably rescinded exercise of the put option. Consequently, SDG&E and Sempra Energy deconsolidated Otay Mesa VIE on August 23, 2019. NaN gain or loss was recognized upon deconsolidation.
Prior to deconsolidation, on August 14, 2019, OMEC LLC paid in full its variable-rate loan that was scheduled to mature in August 2024, which we describe in Note 7.

Amounts for 2019 include activity until deconsolidation on August 23, 2019.

SDG&E determined that none of its contracts resulted in SDG&E being the primary beneficiary of a VIE at September 30, 2019. In addition to the tolling agreements, described above, other variable interests involve various elements of fuel and power costs, and other components of cash flows expected to be paid to or received by our counterparties. In most of these cases, the expectation of variability is not substantial, and SDG&E generally does not have the power to direct activities, including the operation and maintenance activities of the generating facility, that most significantly impact the economic performance of the other VIEs. If our ongoing evaluation of these VIEs were to conclude that SDG&E becomes the primary beneficiary and consolidation by SDG&E becomes necessary, the effects could be significant to the financial position and liquidity of SDG&E and Sempra Energy. We provide additional information about PPAs
SDG&E determined that none of its contracts resulted in SDG&E being the primary beneficiary of a VIE at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities that relate to SDG&E’s involvement with power plant facilities that are VIEs of whichwhere SDG&E is not the primary beneficiary are included in PP&E and finance lease liabilities with balances of $1,242 million and $1,255 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. SDG&E recovers costs incurred on PPAs, tolling agreements and other variable interests through CPUC-approved long-term power procurement plans. SDG&E has no residual interest in the respective entities and has not provided or guaranteed any debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements, performance guarantees or other commitments associated with these contracts other than the purchase commitments described in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
We provide additional information regarding Otay Mesa VIE As a result, SDG&E’s potential exposure to loss from its variable interest in Note 11 below and in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.these VIEs is not significant.
Sempra Texas Utilities
On March 9, 2018, we completed the acquisition of an indirect, 100-percentOur 100% interest in Oncor Holdings is a VIE that owns an 80.25-percent80.25% interest in Oncor. Sempra Energy is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because of the structural and operational ring-fencing and governance measures in place that prevent us from having the power to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings. As a result, we do not consolidate Oncor Holdings and instead account for our ownership interest as an equity method investment. See Note 6 for additional information about our equity method investment in Oncor Holdings and restrictions on our ability to influence its activities. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, from our interest in Oncor Holdings does not exceed the carrying value of our investment, which was $11,145$11,962 million at September 30, 20192020 and $9,652$11,519 million at December 31, 2018.2019.
Sempra RenewablesMexico
Sempra Mexico’s businesses also enter into arrangements that could include variable interests. We evaluate these arrangements and applicable entities based on the qualitative and quantitative analyses described above. Certain of Sempra Renewables’ wind and solar power generation projects were held by limited liabilitythese entities are service or project companies whose members were Sempra Renewables andthat are VIEs because the total equity at risk is not sufficient for the entities to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial institutions. The financial institutions were noncontrolling tax equity investors to which earnings, tax attributes and cash flows were allocated in accordance with the respective limited liability company agreements. These entities were VIEs and Sempra Energy was the primary beneficiary, generally due to Sempra Energy’s power as the operator of the renewable energy projects to direct the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of these VIEs.

Sempra LNG
Cameron LNG JV is a VIE principally due to contractual provisions that transfer certain risks to customers. Sempra Energy is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of Cameron LNG JV, and therefore, we account for our investment in Cameron LNG JV under the equity method. The carrying value of our investment, including amounts recognized in AOCI related to interest-rate cash flow hedges at Cameron LNG JV, was $1,216$433 million at September 30, 20192020 and $1,271$1,256 million at December 31, 2018.2019. Our maximum exposure to loss, which fluctuates over time, includes the carrying value of our investment and the guarantees that we discuss in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Other Variable Interest Entities
As we discuss in Note 6, in July 2020, Sempra Energy entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN that is a VIE. Since we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE, we are not the primary beneficiary. The conditional obligations of the Support Agreement represent a variable interest that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis (see Note 9). Sempra Energy’s other businesses also enter into arrangements that could include variable interests. We evaluate these arrangements and applicable entities based on the qualitative and quantitative analyses described above. Certain of these entities are service or project companies that are VIEs because the total equity at risk is not sufficient for the entities to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support. As the primary beneficiary of these companies, we consolidate them. The assets of these VIEs totaled approximately $779 million at September 30, 2019 and $286 million at December 31, 2018 and consisted primarily of PP&E and other long-term assets. Sempra Energy’smaximum exposure to loss under the terms of the Support Agreement is equal to the carrying value of these assets. In all other cases, we have determined that these arrangements are not variable interests in a VIE and therefore are not subject to the U.S. GAAP requirements concerning the consolidation or disclosures of VIEs.$979 million.

PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Settlement Accounting for Lump Sum Payments
Sempra Energy recorded settlement charges of $13 million and $22 million in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, in net periodic benefit cost for lump sum payments from its nonqualified pension plan that were in excess of the plan’s service cost plus interest cost.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, Sempra Energy recorded settlement charges of $22 million in net periodic benefit cost for lump sum payments from its non-qualifiednonqualified pension plan that were in excess of the plan’s service cost plus interest cost.


Sale of Qualified Pension Plan Annuity Contracts
In March 2018, an insurance company purchased certain annuities for current annuitants in the SDG&E and SoCalGas qualified pension plans and assumed the obligation for payment of these annuities. At SDG&E in the first quarter of 2018 and at SoCalGas in the second quarter of 2018, the liability transferred for these annuities, plus the total year-to-date lump-sum payments, exceeded the settlement threshold, which triggered settlement accounting. This resulted in a reduction of the recorded pension liability and pension plan assets of $300 million at Sempra Energy Consolidated, including $108 million at SDG&E and $192 million at SoCalGas. This also resulted in settlement charges in net periodic benefit cost of $3 million and $42 million at Sempra Energy Consolidated, including $1 million and $17 million at SDG&E and $2 million and $25 million at SoCalGas in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The settlement charges were recorded as regulatory assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

RABBI TRUST
In support of its Supplemental Executive Retirement, Cash Balance Restoration and Deferred Compensation Plans, Sempra Energy maintains dedicated assets, including a Rabbi Trust and investments in life insurance contracts, which totaled $439$469 million and $416$488 million at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.



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

In the three months ended September 30, 2019, due to the dilutive effect of the series A preferred stock, the numerator used to calculate diluted EPS includes an add-back of series A preferred stock dividends declared in that quarter.
(2)
Includes 618 and 645 average fully vested RSUs held in our Deferred Compensation Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 615 and 638 of such RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These fully vested RSUs are included in weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic EPS because there are no conditions under which the corresponding shares will not be issued.
(3)
In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the total weighted-average potentially dilutive stock options and RSUs of 736 and common stock shares sold forward of 945 were not included in the computation of diluted EPS since to do so would have decreased the losses from continuing operations attributable to common shares.
(4)
Due to market fluctuations of both Sempra Energy common stock and the comparative indices used to determine the vesting percentage of our total shareholder return performance-based RSUs, which we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, dilutive RSUs may vary widely from period-to-period.

The potentially dilutive impact from stock options and RSUs is calculated under the treasury stock method. Under this method, proceeds based on the exercise price and unearned compensation are assumed to be used to repurchase shares on the open market at the average market price for the period, reducing the number of potential new shares to be issued and sometimes causing an antidilutive effect. The computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 excludes 142,100 and 2018 excludes 0 and 508204,426 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, because to include them would be antidilutive for the period. The computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 excludes 0 and 2018 excludes 107,042, and 1,552respectively, of such potentially dilutive shares, respectively.shares. However, these shares could potentially dilute basic EPS in the future.
The potentially dilutive impact from the forward sale of our common stock pursuant to the forward sale agreements that we entered into in 2018 and fully settled by the end of 2019 is reflected in our diluted EPS calculation using the treasury stock method. We anticipate there will be a dilutive effect on our EPS when the average market price ofmethod until settlement. After settlement, those shares of ourare included in weighted-average common stock is above the applicable adjusted forward sale price, subject to increase or decrease based on the overnight bank funding rate, less a spread, and subject to decrease by amounts related to expected dividends on shares of our common stock during the term of the forward sale agreements. The computation of diluted EPSoutstanding for both the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 excludes 0 potentially dilutive shares because to include them would be antidilutive for those periods. The computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018 excludes 0 and 2,857,143 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, because to include them would be antidilutive for the period. Additionally, if we decide to physically settle or net share settle the forward sale agreements, delivery of our shares to the forward purchasers on any such physical settlement or net share settlement of the forward sale agreements would result in dilution to ourbasic EPS.
The potentially dilutive impact from mandatory convertible preferred stock that we issued in 2018 is calculated under the if-converted method. The computation of diluted EPS for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 excludes 19,292,641 potentially dilutive shares and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2019 excludes 4,219,350 and 17,457,000 potentially dilutive shares, respectively, because to include them would be antidilutive for those periods. The computation of dilutiveHowever, these shares could potentially dilute basic EPS forin the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018 excludes 19,152,109 and 15,863,530 such potentially dilutive shares, respectively.future.
Pursuant to our Sempra Energy share-based compensation plans, the compensation committee of Sempra Energy’s Boardboard of Directorsdirectors granted 261,075 non-qualified154,860 nonqualified stock options that are exercisablevest over a three-year period, 389,825265,236 performance-based RSUs and 260,594163,475 service-based RSUs in the nine months ended September 30, 2019,2020, primarily in January.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Sempra Energy Mandatory ConvertibleSeries A Preferred Stock Offerings
In January 2018, we issued 17,250,000 sharesThe terms of our series A preferred stock require a notice to holders when the aggregate adjustment to the conversion rates at which shares of series A preferred stock are convertible into shares of Sempra Energy common stock is more than 1%. On July 6, 2020, we notified the holders of the series A preferred stock of such an adjustment. These adjustments, which resulted from the incremental impact of our second quarter dividend declared on our common stock and which became effective as of June 25, 2020, the ex-dividend date for such dividend, include adjustments to the minimum and maximum conversion rates and the related initial and threshold appreciation prices as shown in the following table:
CONVERSION RATES

conversion of each share of series A preferred stock)
Greater than $129.668 (which is the adjusted threshold appreciation price)0.7712 shares (equal to $100.00 divided by the adjusted threshold appreciation price)
Equal to or less than $129.668 but greater than or equal to $105.8425Between 0.7712 and 0.9448 shares, determined by dividing $100.00 by the applicable market value of our common stock

In July 2018, we issued 5,750,000$889 million after deducting the underwriting discount and equity issuance costs of $11 million. We used the net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.
Liquidation Preference
Each share of series C preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) on such share.
Redemption at the Option of Sempra Energy
The shares of series C preferred stock are perpetual and have no maturity date. However, we may, at our option, redeem the series BC preferred stock in whole or in part, from time to time, on any day during the period from and including the July 15 immediately preceding October 15, 2025 and October 15 of every fifth year after 2025 through and including such October 15 at a registered public offering resultingredemption price in net proceedscash equal to $1,000 per share. Additionally, in the event that a credit rating agency then publishing a rating for us makes certain amendments, clarifications or changes to the criteria it uses to assign equity credit to securities such as the series C preferred stock (Ratings Event), we may redeem the series C preferred stock, in whole but not in part, at any time within 120 days after the conclusion of approximately any review or appeal process instituted by us following the occurrence of the Ratings Event or, if no such review or appeal process is available or sought, the occurrence of such Ratings Event, at a redemption price in cash equal to $1,020 per share (102% of the liquidation preference per share).
Dividends
Dividends on the series C preferred stock, when, as and if declared by our board of directors or an authorized committee thereof, are payable in cash, on a cumulative basis, semi-annually in arrears beginning on October 15, 2020. Dividends on the series C preferred stock will be cumulative:
$565 millionwhether or not we have earnings;
. Each sharewhether or not the payment of such dividends is then permitted under California law;
whether or not such dividends are authorized or declared; and
whether or not any agreements to which we are a party prohibit the current payment of dividends, including any agreement relating to our indebtedness.

45


We accrue dividends on the series C preferred stock on a monthly basis. The dividend rate from and including June 19, 2020 to, but excluding, October 15, 2025 is 4.875% per annum of the $1,000 liquidation preference per share. The dividend rate will reset on October 15, 2025 and on October 15 of every fifth year after 2025 and, for each five-year period following such reset dates, will be a per annum rate equal to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the second business day prior to such reset date, plus a spread of 4.550%, of the $1,000 liquidation preference per share.
Voting Rights
The holders of series C preferred stock do not have any voting rights, except with respect to any authorization, creation or increase in the authorized amount of any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to the series C preferred stock, certain amendments to the terms of the series C preferred stock, in certain other limited circumstances and as otherwise specifically required by California law. In addition, whenever dividends on any shares of series C preferred stock have not been declared and paid or have been declared but not paid for three or more dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors on our board of directors will automatically be increased by two and the holders of the series C preferred stock, voting together as a single class with holders of any and all other outstanding series of preferred stock of equal rank having similar voting rights, will be entitled to elect two directors to fill such two newly created directorships. This voting right will terminate when all accumulated and unpaid dividends on the series C preferred stock have been paid in full and, upon such termination and the termination of the same voting rights of all other holders of outstanding series of preferred stock that have such voting rights, the term of office of each director elected pursuant to such rights will terminate and the authorized number of directors will automatically decrease by two, subject to the revesting of such rights in the event of each subsequent nonpayment.

We discuss how we recognize equity earnings in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas record income taxes for interim periods utilizing a forecasted ETR anticipated for the full year. Unusual and infrequent items and items that cannot be reliably estimated are recorded in the interim period in which they occur, which can result in variability in the ETR.
For SDG&E and SoCalGas, the CPUC requires flow-through rate-making treatment for the current income tax benefit or expense arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences between the treatment for financial reporting and income tax, which will reverse over time. Under the regulatory accounting treatment required for these flow-through temporary differences, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are not recorded to deferred income tax expense, but rather to a regulatory asset or liability, which impacts the ETR. As a result, changes in the relative size of these items compared to pretax income, from period to period, can cause variations in the ETR. The following items are subject to flow-through treatment:
repairs expenditures related to a certain portion of utility plant fixed assets;
the equity portion of AFUDC, which is non-taxable;
a portion of the cost of removal of utility plant assets;
utility self-developed software expenditures;
depreciation on a certain portion of utility plant assets; and
state income taxes.

the equity portion of AFUDC, which is non-taxable
a portion of the cost of removal of utility plant assets
utility self-developed software expenditures
depreciation on a certain portion of utility plant assets
state income taxes
The AFUDC related to equity recorded for regulated construction projects at Sempra Mexico has similar flow-through treatment.
We record income tax (expense) benefit from the transactional effects of foreign currency and inflation. Such effects are partially mitigatedoffset by net gains (losses) from foreign currency derivatives that are hedging Sempra Mexico parent’s exposure to movements in the Mexico peso from its controlling interest in IEnova.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded income tax benefits of $31 million and $38 million, respectively, from the release of a regulatory liability established in connection with 2017 tax reform for excess deferred income tax balances that the CPUC directed be allocated to shareholders in a January 2019 decision.

Discontinued Operations
OnIn January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses and we completed the sales in the second quarter of 2020, as we discuss in Note 5. Prior to this decision, our repatriation estimate excluded post-2017 earnings and other basis differences related to our South American businesses. Because of our decision to sell our South American businesses, we no longer assert indefinite reinvestment of these basis differences and have recorded the following in discontinued operationsdifferences. Accordingly, in the nine months ended September 30, 2019:we recorded the following income tax impacts from changes in outside basis differences in our discontinued operations in South America:
$89 million income tax benefit primarily related to outside basis differences existing as of the January 25, 2019 approval of our plan to sell our South American businesses. The amount is comprised of $103 million of income tax expense recorded in the first quarter of 2019, which was then reduced by $192 million in the third quarter of 2019 as a result of a change in the anticipated structure of the sale; and
$32 million income tax expense related to the increase in outside basis differences from 2019 earnings since January 25, 2019.
$89 million income tax benefit in 2019 primarily related to outside basis differences existing as of the January 25, 2019 approval of our plan to sell our South American businesses. The amount is comprised of $103 million of income tax expense recorded in the first quarter of 2019, which was then reduced by $192 million in the third quarter of 2019 as a result of a change in the anticipated structure of the sale; and
$7 million income tax benefit in 2020 compared to $32 million income tax expense in 2019 related to changes in outside basis differences from earnings and foreign currency effects since January 25, 2019.
We have not changed our indefinite reinvestment assertion or repatriation plan for our continuing international operations.operations during 2020.
NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
We describe below recent accounting pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
ASU 2016-02, “Leases,” ASU 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842,” ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” ASU 2018-20, “Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors” and ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements” (collectively referred to as the “lease standard”): In 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board began issuing the first in a series of ASUs intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations with leasing activities. The most significant provision of the lease standard is the requirement that lessees recognize operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.
We adopted the lease standard on January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method to apply the new guidance prospectively as of January 1, 2019, rather than as of the earliest period presented. We elected the package of practical expedients that permits us to not reassess (a) whether a contract is or contains a lease, (b) lease classification or (c) determination of initial direct costs, which allows us to carry forward accounting conclusions under previous U.S. GAAP on contracts that commenced prior to adoption of the lease standard. We also elected the land easement practical expedient, which allows us to continue to account for pre-existing land easements under our accounting policy that existed before adoption of the lease standard. We did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight in making judgments when determining the lease term.
The adoption of the lease standard did not change our previously reported financial statements. However, in accordance with the lease standard, on a prospective basis, a significant portion of finance lease costs for PPAs that have historically been presented in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power are now presented in Depreciation and Amortization Expense and Interest Expense on Sempra Energy’s and SDG&E’s statements of operations. Additionally, the adoption of the lease standard had a material impact on our balance sheets at January 1, 2019 due to the initial recognition of ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. Our finance leases were already included on our balance sheets prior to adoption of the lease standard, consistent with previous U.S. GAAP for capital leases.


The following table shows the initial increases (decreases) on our balance sheets at January 1, 2019 from adoption of the lease standard.

As a result of the adoption of the lease standard, we derecognized our corporate headquarters building lease in accordance with the transition provisions for build-to-suit arrangements. On a prospective basis, we will account for the corporate headquarters building lease as an operating lease. The initial impact is included in the above table.
We include additional disclosures about our leases in Note 11.
ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”: ASU 2016-13, as amended by subsequently issued ASUs, changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments. The standard introduces an “expected credit loss” impairment model that requires immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of most financial assets measured at amortized cost, including trade and other receivables, loan receivables and commitments and financial guarantees. ASU 2016-13 also requires use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and expands disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating the credit losses.
For public entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments are to be applied We adopted the standard on January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings atearnings. The adoption primarily impacted the beginning of the first reporting period in the year of adoption.
We are currently evaluating the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting. On a prospective basis, the new standard will primarily apply to ourexpected credit losses associated with accounts receivable balances, amounts due from unconsolidated affiliates and off-balance sheet financial guarantees. We will adoptThere was an insignificant impact to SDG&E’s or SoCalGas’ balance sheets from adoption. The following table shows the standardinitial (decreases) increases on Sempra Energy’s balance sheet at January 1, 2020.2020 from adoption of ASU 2016-13.

ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”: ASU 2017-04 removes the second step of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. An entity will be required to apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. We adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2020 and will apply the standard on a prospective basis to our goodwill impairment tests.
ASU 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”: ASU 2019-12 simplifies certain areas of accounting for income taxes. In addition to other changes, this standard amends ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” as follows:
removes the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, including discontinued operations or other comprehensive income;
53


simplifies the recognition of deferred taxes related to basis differences as a result of ownership changes in investments;
specifies an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements; and
requires an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual ETR computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date.
For public entities, ASU 2017-042019-12 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019,2020, including interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. The transition method related to the amendments are to be appliedmade by ASU 2019-12 varies based on a prospective basis.the nature of the change. We will adopt the standard on January 1, 2021 and do not expect it will have a material impact on our financial statements.
ASU 2020-04, “Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”: ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications that replace LIBOR or another reference rate affected by reference rate reform and to hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate that is affected or expected to be affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 and can be applied through December 31, 2022, with certain exceptions for hedging relationships that continue to exist after this date, and may be applied from January 1, 2020. For contract modifications, the standard allows entities to account for modifications as an event that does not require reassessment or remeasurement (i.e., as a continuation of the existing contract). The standard also allows entities to amend their formal designation and documentation of hedging relationships affected or expected to be affected by reference rate reform, without having to de-designate the hedging relationship. Entities may elect the optional expedients and exceptions on an individual hedging relationship basis and independently from one another. We elected the optional expedients for contract modifications. We elected the cash flow hedging expedients to disregard the potential discontinuation of a reference rate when assessing whether a hedged forecasted interest payment is probable and to disregard certain mismatches between the designated hedging instrument and the hedged item when assessing the hedge effectiveness. We are applying these expedients prospectively from January 1, 2020. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with the past presentation.
ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”: ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. In addition to other changes, this standard amends ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” by removing the accounting models for instruments with beneficial conversion features and cash conversion features. The standard also amends ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” as follows:
ASU 2018-02 contains amendments that allow a reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the TCJA. Under ASU 2018-02,requires an entity to apply the if-converted method when calculating diluted EPS for convertible instruments and no longer use the treasury stock method, which was previously allowed for certain convertible instruments;
requires an entity to include the effect of potential share settlement in the diluted EPS calculation when an instrument may be settled in cash or shares, and no longer allows an entity to rebut the presumption of share settlement if it has a history or policy of cash settlement;
requires an entity to include equity-classified convertible preferred stock that contains down-round features whereby, if the down-round feature is requiredtriggered, its effect is treated as a dividend and as a reduction of income available to providecommon shareholders in basic EPS;
clarifies that the average market price should be used to calculate the diluted EPS denominator when the exercise price or the number of shares that may be issued is variable, except for certain disclosures regarding stranded tax effects,contingently issuable shares; and
clarifies that the weighted-average share count from each quarter should be used when calculating the year-to-date weighted-average share count.
For public entities, ASU 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including its accounting policy relatedinterim periods therein, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. An entity can use either a full or modified retrospective approach to releasing the income tax effects from AOCI. The amendmentsadopt ASU 2020-06 and must disclose, in this update can be applied either as of the beginning of the period of adoption, or retrospectively as of the date of enactment of the TCJA and to each period in whichEPS transition information about the effect of the TCJA is recognized. change on affected per-share amounts. We adopted ASU 2018-02 on January 1, 2019 and reclassifiedare currently evaluating the income tax effectseffect of the TCJA from AOCI to retained earnings.standard on our ongoing financial reporting and have not yet selected the year in which we will adopt the standard.


The impact from adoption of ASU 2018-02 on January 1, 2019 was as follows:
Sempra Energy: increase of $40 million to beginning Retained Earnings, $2 million to noncurrent Regulatory Liabilities and $42 million to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss;
SDG&E: increase of $2 million to beginning Retained Earnings and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss; and
SoCalGas: increase of $2 million to beginning Retained Earnings, $2 million to noncurrent Regulatory Liabilities and $4 million to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.
NOTE 3. REVENUES
We discuss revenue recognition for revenues from contracts with customers and from sources other than contracts with customers in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
54


In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the California Utilities and the CPUC have implemented certain measures to assist customers, including suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment for residential and small business customers, waiving late payment fees for business customers, and offering flexible payment plans for customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. Additional measures could be mandated or voluntarily implemented in the future. Under the regulatory compact applicable to the California Utilities, including decoupling of rates, recovery of uncollectible expenses, and other recovery mechanisms potentially available, which we discuss in Note 4, the California Utilities have continued to recognize revenues under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The following table disaggregates our revenues from contracts with customers by major service line and market and provides a reconciliation to total revenues by segment. The majority of our revenue is recognized over time.

CALIFORNIA UTILITIES
COVID-19 Pandemic Protections Memorandum Account
In March 2020, the CPUC required that all energy companies under its jurisdiction, including the California Utilities, take action to implement several emergency customer protection measures to support California customers in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The customer protection measures, which are mandatory for all residential and small business customers, are effective from March 2020, will continue for up to one year, and may be extended by the CPUC. In June 2020, the CPUC approved disaster relief plans covering residential and small business customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic that were submitted by each of the California Utilities. Each of the California Utilities also was authorized to establish a CPPMA to track and request recovery of incremental costs associated with complying with residential and small business customer protection measures implemented by the CPUC related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including costs associated with suspending service disconnections and uncollectible expenses that arise from these customers’ failure to pay. The California Utilities expect to pursue recovery in rates of the costs recorded to the CPPMA in a future CPUC proceeding, which recovery is not assured.
Arrearage Management Payment Plan
In June 2020, the CPUC issued a decision to adopt certain customer protections to reduce residential customer disconnections and improve reconnection processes, including, among other things, imposing limitations on service disconnections, elimination of deposit requirements and reconnection fees, establishment of the AMP that provides successfully participating, income-qualified residential customers with relief from outstanding utility bill amounts, and increased outreach and marketing efforts. The decision allows each of the California Utilities to establish a two-way balancing account to record the uncollectible expenses associated with residential customers’ inability to pay their electric or gas bills, including as a result of the relief from outstanding utility bill amounts provided under the AMP. The California Utilities may also request, at a future date, to transfer any such costs from the CPPMA to this new balancing account.
CPUC General Rate Case
The CPUC uses GRC proceedings to set rates designed to allow the California Utilities to recover their reasonable operating costs and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investments.
2019 General Rate Case
OnAs we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, in September 26, 2019, the CPUC issued a final decision in the 2019 GRC approvingFD, which was effective retroactively to January 1, 2019. In the third quarter of 2019, SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded the retroactive after-tax earnings impact of $36 million and $84 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2019 and $30 million and $46 million, respectively, for the second quarter of 2019.
The 2019 GRC FD approved SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ test year revenues for 2019 and attrition year adjustments for 2020 and 2021. This isIn January 2020, the firstCPUC issued a final decision implementing a four-year GRC that includescycle for California IOUs. The California Utilities were directed to file a petition for modification to revise their 2019 GRC to add two additional attrition years, resulting in a transitional five-year GRC period (2019-2023). The California Utilities filed the petition in April 2020 and requested authorization of their post-test year ratemaking mechanism for two additional years. We have requested an increase in the revenue requirement for SDG&E and SoCalGas of approximately $95 million and $155 million, respectively, for 2022, and $96 million and $137 million, respectively, for 2023, reflecting certain adjustments. These amounts include revenues authorized for risk assessment mitigation phase activities.both O&M and capital cost attrition. In June 2020, the CPUC issued a ruling to further clarify the issues for review in the California Utilities’ petition, which are mainly whether the proposed revenue requirements and mechanisms for the two proposed additional attrition years are just and reasonable. In September 2020, the California Utilities filed a status report to summarize positions on how impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic should be incorporated into the proposed attrition rates. The California Utilities proposed to continue with the adopted attrition mechanism using the second quarter 2020 Global Insight utility cost forecast, which incorporates impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Intervenors have proposed other alternatives, including using escalation factors based on the Consumer Price Index. The procedural schedule provides for a proposed decision in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The 2019 GRC FD adopts a test year 2019 revenue requirement of $1,990 million for SDG&E’s combined operations ($1,590 million for its electric operationsclarified that differences between incurred and $400 million for its natural gas operations), which is $213 million lower than the $2,203 million that SDG&E had requested in its updated application. SDG&E’s adopted 2019 revenue requirement represents an increase of $107 million (5.70 percent) over its authorized 2018 revenue requirement.
The 2019 GRC FD adopts a test year 2019 revenue requirement of $2,770 million for SoCalGas, which is $167 million lower than the $2,937 million that SoCalGas had requested in its updated application. SoCalGas’ adopted 2019 revenue requirement represents an increase of $314 million (12.80 percent) over its authorized 2018 revenue requirement.
The 2019 GRC FD retains a three-year GRC cycle for both utilities, specifying the 2020 and 2021 revenue requirement increases. The increases include separately authorized components for O&M and capital-related costs, as follows:

We expect the adopted revenue requirements associated with the period from January 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019forecasted income tax expense due to be recovered in rates through December 2021. At September 30, 2019, SDG&E recorded an associated regulatory asset of $81 million, with $51 million as noncurrent, and SoCalGas recorded an associated regulatory asset of $286 million, with $179 million as noncurrent.
The 2019 GRC FD approves for the California Utilities the establishment of two-way liability insurance premium balancing accounts, including wildfire insurance premium costs based on a specific level of coverage. The 2019 GRC FD also permits the California Utilitiesforecasting differences are not subject to seek recovery of additional liability insurance coverage.
As we discuss in Notes 4 and 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statementstracking in the Annual Report, pursuant to the 2016 GRC FD, SDG&E and SoCalGas each established a two-way income tax expense memorandum account to track, among other items, certain revenue variances resulting from certain differences between the income tax expense forecastedbeginning in the GRC and the income tax expense incurred from 2016 through 2018.2019. SDG&E and SoCalGas previously recorded regulatory liabilities, inclusive of interest, associated with the 2016 through 2018 tracked forecasting differences of $86 million and $88$89 million, respectively. The 2019 GRC FD clarifies that forecasting differences, which we previously included in this tracked activity, are not subject to tracking inIn April 2020, the income tax expense memorandum account. However, its disposition is unclear. Final resolution of the scopeCPUC confirmed treatment of the two-way income tax expense memorandum account for thethese 2016 through 2018 period could impact the disposition of these regulatory liabilities.


The 2016 GRC FD revenue requirement was authorized using a federal income tax rate of 35 percent. As a result of the TCJA, the federal income tax rate of 21 percent became effective January 1, 2018. Since SDG&E and SoCalGas continued to collect authorized revenues based on a 35 percent tax rate, SDG&E and SoCalGas recorded regulatory liabilities of $88 million and $75 million, respectively. The 2019 GRC FD instructs SDG&E and SoCalGas to refund these balances, to customers in future rates. SDG&E also recorded a $79 million regulatory liability at September 30, 2019, relating to its FERC jurisdictional rates, in anticipation of amounts that will benefit customers in future rates for the decrease in the federal income tax rate.
The California Utilities recorded revenues in the first six months of 2019 based on levels authorized for 2018 under the 2016 GRC FD because a final decision in the 2019 GRC was not issued by June 30, 2019. Since the 2019 GRC FD is effective retroactive to January 1, 2019,which time the California Utilities recorded the retroactive impacts in the third quarter of 2019. For SDG&Ereleased these regulatory liability balances to revenues and SoCalGas, these amounts include an incremental earnings impact of $92 million ($66 million after tax) and $181 million ($130 million after tax), respectively, related to the first six months of 2019.regulatory interest.

CPUC Cost of Capital
In AprilDecember 2019, the CPUC approved the cost of capital and rate structures (shown in the table below) for SDG&E and SoCalGas that are effective January 1, 2020 and will remain in effect through December 31, 2022. SDG&E did not propose a 2020 cost of preferred equity in this proceeding. In January 2020, SDG&E filed separate applications withan advice letter to continue the cost of preferred equity for test year 2020 at 6.22%, which the CPUC to update theirapproved in March 2020.

The CCM was reauthorized in the 2020 cost of capital proceeding to continue through 2022. The CCM benchmark rate for the 2020 cost of capital is the average monthly utility bond index, as published by Moody’s, for the 12-month period from October 2018 through September 2019. SDG&E’s CCM benchmark rate is 4.498%, based on Moody’s Baa- utility bond index. SoCalGas’ CCM benchmark rate is 4.029%, based on Moody’s A- utility bond index. The index applicable to each utility is based on such utility’s credit rating.
The CCM benchmark rates for SDG&E and SoCalGas are the basis of comparison to determine if future measurement periods “trigger” the CCM. For the 12 months ended September 2020, the first “CCM Period,” the trigger did not occur for SDG&E or SoCalGas. The trigger occurs if the change in the applicable average Moody’s utility bond index relative to the CCM benchmark is larger than plus or minus 1.000%. Accordingly, if a change of more than plus or minus 1.000% occurs, SDG&E’s, SoCalGas’, or both utilities’ authorized ROE would be adjusted, upward or downward, by one half of the difference between the CCM benchmark and the 12-month average determined during the CCM Period. In addition, the authorized recovery rate for the California Utilities’ cost of debt and preferred equity would be adjusted to their respective actual weighted-average cost, with no change to the authorized capital structure. In the event of a CCM trigger, the CCM benchmark is also re-established. These adjustments would become effective in authorized rates on January 1 2020. SDG&E proposedof the year following the CCM trigger. The next CCM Period is from October 2020 to adjust its authorized capital structure by increasing the amount of its common equity from 52 percent to 56 percent. SDG&E also proposed to increase its authorized ROE from 10.2 percent to 14.3 percent (with the aggregate ROE proposal including a quantified premium for wildfire liability risk), and to increase its authorized return on rate base from 7.55 percent to 10.03 percent. On August 1, 2019, SDG&E filed supplemental testimony to update its ROE request to reflect the impacts of AB 1054 and AB 111. In that supplementary testimony, SDG&E modified its proposal to increase its authorized ROE from 10.2 percent to 12.38 percent, including a revised premium for wildfire liability risk, and its authorized return on rate base from 7.55 percent to 8.95 percent. SoCalGas proposed to adjust its authorized capital structure by increasing the amount of its common equity from 52 percent to 56 percent. SoCalGas also proposed to increase its authorized ROE from 10.05 percent to 10.7 percent and to increase its authorized return on rate base from 7.34 percent to 7.85 percent. Intervenors are proposing a ROE for SDG&E ranging from 8.49 percent to 9.65 percent and for SoCalGas ranging from 8.49 percent to 9.63 percent. Intervenors have also proposed authorized returns on rate base for SDG&E ranging from 6.62 percent to 7.22 percent and for SoCalGas ranging from 6.45 percent to 6.72 percent. Intervenors also propose that the common equity levels remain authorized at 52 percent at both SDG&E and SoCalGas. The schedule for the proceeding indicates a final decision in the fourth quarter of 2019.September 2021.
SDG&E
FERC Formulaic Rate Filing
In October 2018, SDG&E submitted its TO5 filing to the FERC. This proceeding establishes theFERC to establish its transmission revenue requirement, including rate of return, for SDG&E’s FERC-regulated electric transmission operations and assets. SDG&E’s TO5 filing proposed, among other items, an increase to SDG&E’s current authorized FERC ROE from 10.05 percent to 11.2 percent. OnIn December 31, 2018, the FERC issued its order accepting and suspending SDG&E’s TO5 filing and established hearing and settlement procedures. In the order, the FERC suspended the TO5 filing for five months, during which the existing TO4 rates remained in effect.effect, and established hearing and settlement procedures. The suspension period ended on June 1, 2019, when the proposed TO5 rates took effect, subject to refund and the outcome of the rate filing. As a result, until a new ROE is authorized, the currentTO4 ROE of 10.05 percent is10.05% was the basis of SDG&E’s FERC-related revenue recognition. In July 2019,recognition until March 2020, when the FERC approved the settlement judge reportedterms that SDG&E and the parties engaged in settlement negotiations had reached an impasse and directed the matter forward to hearings, which does not preclude continued settlement discussions among SDG&E and settling parties.
In September 2019, the settlement judge issued an order suspending the hearing schedule for 60 days in anticipation of a settlement between the parties. In October 2019, SDG&E andall settling parties reached an agreement on all issues set for hearing in the proceeding. October 2019.
The settlement agreement provides for a ROE of 10.60 percent,10.60%, consisting of a base ROE of 10.10 percent10.10% plus an additional 50 bps for participation in the California ISO. SDG&E will refund the California ISO additional 50 bps of ROE as of the refund effective date (June 1, 2019) in this proceeding ifIf the FERC issues an order ruling that California IOUs are no longer eligible for the additional California ISO ROE.ROE, SDG&E would refund the additional 50 bps of ROE associated with the California ISO as of the refund effective date (June 1, 2019) in this proceeding. The TO5 term is effective June 1, 2019 and shall remain in effect indefinitely, with parties having the annual right to terminate the agreement also includesbeginning in 2022.
In the collectionfirst quarter of 2020, SDG&E recorded retroactive revenues of $12 million related to 2019, and additional FERC revenues of $17 million to conclude a rate base matter, net of certain refunds to be paid to CPUC-jurisdictional customers. We expect a FERC order on the settlement terms in the first half of 2020.
When we receive a final decision, SDG&E expects to record the cumulative earnings effect of retroactive application to June 1, 2019 for any difference between the current ROE and the approved ROE.Energy Efficiency Program Inquiry

In May 2017,January 2020, the CPUC issued an OII to determine whether SoCalGas violated any provisionsa ruling seeking comments on a report prepared by its consultant regarding SDG&E’s Upstream Lighting Program for the program year 2017. The CPUC subsequently expanded the scope of the California Public Utilities Code, General Orders,comments to cover

the program year 2018. The Upstream Lighting Program was one of SDG&E’s Energy Efficiency programs designed to produce energy efficiency savings for which SDG&E could earn a performance-based incentive.
Pursuant to the CPUC decisions, or other requirements pertainingruling, intervenors representing ratepayers have questioned SDG&E’s management of the program and alleged that certain program expenditures did not benefit the purpose of the program. As a result of the inquiry, SDG&E voluntarily expanded its review to billing practices from 2014 through 2016. The CPUC examinedinclude the timeliness of monthly bills, extending the billing period forprogram year 2019. Based on this review and discussions with intervenors, SDG&E concluded that some concessions were appropriate, which include refunding certain costs and certain performance-based incentives to customers and issuing estimated bills, including an examinationincurring a fine. Accordingly, in the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, SDG&E reduced revenues by $36 million and $51 million, respectively, and recorded a fine of SoCalGas’ gas tariff rules. In January 2019, the CPUC ordered SoCalGas to pay $8$6 million in penalties, including $3Other (Expense) Income, Net, on the SDG&E and Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The after-tax impact for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $29 million that was paid in July 2019 to California’s general fund and $5$44 million, to be credited to customers that received delayed bills (greater than 45 days) in the form ofrespectively. In October 2020, SDG&E executed a $100 bill credit. SoCalGas filed an appealsettlement agreement with intervenors consistent with these concessions.

We consolidate assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the purchase date and include earnings from acquisitions in consolidated earnings after the purchase date.
ACQUISITIONSACQUISITION
Sempra Texas Utilities
Oncor HoldingsTTHC
On March 9, 2018, Sempra Energy completed the acquisition ofIn February 2020, STIH acquired an additional indirect 100-percent0.1975% interest in Oncor Holdings, which owned 80.03 percent of Oncor, and other EFH assets and liabilities unrelated to Oncor, pursuant to the Merger Agreement with EFH. Under the Merger Agreement, we paid Merger Consideration of $9.45 billion in cash and an additional $31 million representing an adjustment for dividends and payments pursuant to a tax sharing agreement with Oncor and Oncor Holdings. Also on March 9, 2018, in a separate transaction, Sempra Energy, through its acquisition of a 1% interest in Oncor Holdings, acquiredTTHC from Hunt Strategic Utility Investment, L.L.C. (Hunt), including notes receivable due from TTHC with an additional 0.22 percentaggregate outstanding balance of the outstanding membership interests in Oncor from OMIapproximately $6 million, for $26a total purchase price of approximately $23 million in cash, bringing Sempra Energy’s indirect ownership in Oncor to 80.25 percent.approximately 80.45%. TTHC indirectly owns 100% of TTI, an investment vehicle indirectly owned by third parties unaffiliated with Oncor Holdings or Sempra Energy, continues to own 19.75 percentwhich owns 19.75% of Oncor’s outstanding membership interests. At the acquisition date, we determined the fair value of the notes receivable was $7 million based on a discounted cash flow model, and attributed $16 million to the investment in TTHC, which we recorded as an equity method investment.
STIH’s acquisition of the 1% interest was the subject of a lawsuit filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery by the owners of the remaining 99% ownership interest in TTHC. STIH purchased its 1% interest in TTHC in February 2020 after the Delaware Court of Chancery decided, among other things, that STIH’s right to purchase the 1% interest was superior to that of the remaining owners of TTHC. The remaining owners appealed that decision and, in May 2020, the Delaware Supreme Court reversed the Delaware Court of Chancery’s ruling and remanded the case back to the Delaware Court of Chancery. In September 2020, the Delaware Court of Chancery ordered, among other things, the rescission of STIH’s purchase of the 1% interest in TTHC. The parties have complied with the court’s order and Sempra Energy’s indirect ownership in Oncor has returned to 80.25%. We discuss this acquisition, includingreceived a full refund of the purchase price allocation,from Hunt in Note 5 ofSeptember 2020 and have fully unwound the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
After satisfying all conditions precedent, including final approval from the PUCT, on May 16, 2019, Oncor completed the acquisition of 100 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of InfraREIT and 100 percent of the limited partnership units of its subsidiary, InfraREIT Partners, pursuant to the InfraREIT Merger Agreement. Under the InfraREIT Merger Agreement, Oncor paid merger consideration of $1,275 million, or $21 per share, plus certain transaction costs incurred by InfraREIT and its subsidiaries and paid by Oncor on their behalf, including $40 million for a management agreement termination fee. In connection with and immediately after the closing, Oncor also extinguished all of InfraREIT’s outstanding debt (totaling $953 million) by repaying an aggregate principal amount of $602 million on behalf of InfraREIT’s subsidiaries (using proceeds from a term loan and issuances of commercial paper), and exchanging an aggregate principal amount of $351 million of secured senior notes issued by InfraREIT subsidiaries for secured senior notes issued by Oncor. Oncor received a total of $1,330 million in capital contributions from Sempra Energy and certain indirect equity holders of TTI, proportionate to their respective ownership interest in Oncor, to fund the purchase price and certain expenses. We discuss Sempra Energy’s contribution in Note 6.
As part of Oncor’s acquisition of interests in InfraREIT, immediately prior to closing the InfraREIT Merger Agreement, SDTS accepted and assumed certain assets and liabilities of SU in exchange for certain SDTS assets, pursuant to the Asset Exchange Agreement. SDTS received real property and other assets used in the electric transmission and distribution business in Central, North and West Texas, as well as the equity interests in GS Project Entity, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of SU) and SU received real property and other assets used in the electric transmission and distribution business near the Texas-Mexico border. Pursuant to the Asset Exchange Agreement, immediately prior to the completion of the exchange, SDTS became a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of InfraREIT Partners.

We account for our indirect, 50-percent50% interest in Sharyland Holdings as an equity method investment.
Sempra South American Utilities
Compañía Transmisora del Norte Grande S.A.
On December 18, 2018, Chilquinta Energía acquired a 100-percent interest in Compañía Transmisora del Norte Grande S.A. through a sales and purchase agreement with AES Gener S.A. and its subsidiary Sociedad Eléctrica Angamos S.A. We completed the acquisition for a purchase price of $226 million and paid $208 million (net of $18 million cash acquired) with available cash on hand at Sempra South American Utilities.
We accounted for this business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. We allocated the $208 million in cash paid ($226 million purchase price less $18 million of cash acquired) to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, with the excess recognized as goodwill, which is included in assets held for sale in discontinued operations. We consider the purchase price allocation at the acquisition date to be final.
We discuss this acquisition, including the purchase price allocation, in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
DIVESTITURES
In June 2018, our board of directors approved a plan to divest certain non-utility natural gas storage assets in the southeast U.S., and all our U.S. wind and U.S. solar assets (collectively, the Assets). As a result of our plan to sell the Assets, we recorded impairment charges totaling $1.5 billion ($900 million after tax and NCI) in June 2018. These charges included $1.3 billion ($755 million after tax and NCI) at Sempra LNG, which is included in Impairment Losses on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and $200 million ($145 million after tax) at Sempra Renewables, which is included in Equity Earnings on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. These impairment charges primarily represented an adjustment of the related assets’ carrying values to estimated fair values, less costs to sell when applicable, which we discuss in Notes 6 and 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Sempra Renewables
In April 2019, Sempra Renewables completed the sale of its remaining wind assets and investments to AEP for $569 million, net of transaction costs, and recorded a $61 million ($45 million after tax and NCI) gain, which is included in (Loss) Gain on Sale of Assets on theSempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated StatementsStatement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Upon completion of the sale, remaining nominal business activities at Sempra Renewables were subsumed into Parent and other and the Sempra Renewables segment ceased to exist.
Sempra LNG
OnIn February 7, 2019, Sempra LNG completed the sale of its non-utility natural gas storage assets in the southeast U.S. (comprised of Mississippi Hub and Bay Gas), which we classified as held for sale at December 31, 2018, to an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners and received cash proceeds of $322 million, net of transaction costs. In January 2019, Sempra LNG completed the sale of other non-utility assets for $5 million.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
OnIn January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses. We determined that these businesses, which previously constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment, and certain activities associated with those businesses, met the held-for-sale criteria. These businesses are presented as discontinued operations, as the planned sales represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. We do not plan toUpon completion of these sales, we no longer have significant continuing involvement in or be ablethe ability to exercise significant influence on the operating or financial policies of these operations after they are sold.operations. Accordingly, the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for these businesses have been reclassified topresented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.


Discontinued operations that were previously in the Sempra South American Utilities segment include our 100-percentformer 100% interest in Chilquinta Energía in Chile, our 83.6-percentformer 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur in Peru and our former interests in two2 energy-services companies, Tecnored and Tecsur, which provide electric construction and infrastructure services to Chilquinta Energía and Luz del Sur, respectively, as well as third parties. 
On September 27, 2019,April 24, 2020, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with China Yangtze Power International (Hongkong) Co., Limited to sellcompleted the sale of our equity interests in our Peruvian businesses, including our 83.6-percent 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur and its indirect ownershipour interest in Tecsur, to an affiliate of China Yangtze Power International (Hongkong) Co., Limited for an aggregate base purchase pricecash proceeds of $3.59 billion, subject to customary closing$3,549 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments, for working capital and changes in net indebtedness. The sale is subject to various conditions to closing, including approvals from the Peruvian anti-trust authority and the Bermuda Monetary Authority. We expectrecorded a pretax gain of $2,271 million ($1,499 million after tax).
On June 24, 2020, we completed the sale to close in the first quarter of 2020.
On October 12, 2019, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with State Grid International Development Limited to sell our equity interests in our Chilean businesses, including our 100-percent100% interest in Chilquinta Energía and Tecnored and our 50-percent50% interest in Eletrans, for an aggregate base purchase price of $2.23 billion, subject to customary adjustments for working capital and changes in net indebtedness and other adjustments. Chilquinta Energía also agreed to purchase the remaining 50-percent interest in Eletrans from Sociedad Austral de Electricidad S.A., contingent on the sale of our Chilean businesses to State Grid International Development Limited. This acquisition by Chilquinta EnergíLimited for cash proceeds of $2,216 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments, and recorded a would resultpretax gain of $628 million ($248 million after tax).

NOTE 6. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
We generally account for investments under the equity method when we have significant influence over, but do not have control of, these entities. Equity earnings and losses, both before and net of income tax, are combined and presented as Equity Earnings on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 12 for information on equity earnings and losses, both before and net of income tax, by segment. See Note 1 for information on how equity earnings and losses before income taxes are factored into the calculations of our pretax income or loss and ETR.
Our equity method investments include various domestic and foreign entities. Our domestic equity method investees are typically partnerships that are pass-through entities for income tax purposes and therefore they do not record income tax. Sempra Energy’s income tax on earnings from these equity method investees, other than Oncor Holdings as we discuss below, is included in Income Tax (Expense) Benefit on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Our foreign equity method investees are corporations whose operations are generally taxable on a standalone basis in the countries in which they operate, and we recognize our equity in such income or loss net of investee income tax.
Oncor is a domestic partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not included in the consolidated income tax return of Sempra Energy. Rather, only our pretax equity earnings from our investment in Oncor Holdings (a disregarded entity for tax purposes) are included in our consolidated income tax return. A tax sharing agreement with TTI, Oncor Holdings and Oncor provides for the calculation of an income tax liability substantially as if Oncor Holdings and Oncor were taxed as corporations


and requires tax payments determined on that basis. While partnerships are not subject to income taxes, in consideration of the tax sharing agreement and Oncor being subject to the provisions of U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations, Oncor recognizes amounts determined under cost-based regulatory rate-setting processes (with such costs including income taxes), as if it were taxed as a corporation. As a result, since Oncor Holdings consolidates Oncor, we recognize equity earnings from our investment in Oncor Holdings net of its recorded income tax.
We provide additional information concerning our equity method investments in Note 5 above and in Notes 5 and 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

GUARANTEES
At September 30, 2019, we had outstanding2020, Sempra Energy has provided guarantees aggregating a maximum of $3.9 billion. The related$4.0 billion with an aggregate carrying value of these guarantees was fully amortized at September 30, 2019.$1 million, which is included in Other Current Liabilities on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet associated with Cameron LNG JV’s debt obligations. We discuss these guarantees in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Sempra Energy Support Agreement for CFIN
In July 2020, CFIN entered into a financing arrangement with Cameron LNG JV’s four project owners and received aggregate proceeds of $1.5 billion from two project owners and from external lenders on behalf of the other two project owners (collectively, the affiliate loans), based on their proportionate ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV. CFIN used the proceeds from the affiliate loans to provide a loan to Cameron LNG JV. The affiliate loans mature in 2039. Principal and interest will be paid from Cameron LNG JV’s project cash flows from its three-train natural gas liquefaction facility. Cameron LNG JV used the proceeds from its loan to return equity to its project owners. Sempra Energy used its $753 million share of the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness.
Sempra Energy’s $753 million proportionate share of the affiliate loans, based on its 50.2% ownership interest in Cameron LNG JV, was funded by external lenders comprised of a syndicate of eight banks (the bank debt) to whom Sempra Energy has provided a guarantee pursuant to a Support Agreement. Under the terms of the Support Agreement, Sempra Energy has severally guaranteed repayment of the bank debt plus accrued and unpaid interest if CFIN fails to pay the external lenders. Additionally, the external lenders may exercise an option to put the bank debt to Sempra Energy on every one-year anniversary of the closing of the affiliate loans, as well as upon the occurrence of certain events, including a failure by CFIN to meet its payment obligations under the bank debt. In addition, some or all of the bank debt will be transferred by each external lender back to Sempra Energy on the
64


five-year anniversary of the affiliate loans, unless the external lenders elect to waive their transfer rights six months prior to the five-year anniversary of the affiliate loans. Sempra Energy also has a right to call the bank debt back from, or to refinance the bank debt with, the external lenders at any time. The Support Agreement will terminate upon full repayment of the bank debt, including repayment following an event in which the bank debt is put to Sempra Energy. In exchange for this guarantee, the external lenders will pay a guarantee fee that is based on the credit rating of Sempra Energy’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt rating, which guarantee fee Sempra LNG will recognize as interest income as earned. Sempra Energy’s maximum exposure to loss is the bank debt plus any accrued and unpaid interest and related fees, subject to a liability cap of 130% of the bank debt, or $979 million. We measure the Support Agreement at fair value, net of related guarantee fees, on a recurring basis (see Note 9). At September 30, 2020, the fair value of the Support Agreement was $6 million, which is included in Other Current Assets on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
RBS SEMPRA COMMODITIES
As we discuss in Note 11, in the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a charge of $100 million in Equity Earnings on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for losses from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities. We recognized a corresponding liability of $25 million in Other Current Liabilities and $75 million in Deferred Credits and Other for our share of estimated losses in excess of the carrying value of our equity method investment.

NOTE 8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We use derivative instruments primarily to manage exposures arising in the normal course of business. Our principal exposures are commodity market risk, benchmark interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate exposures. Our use of derivatives for these risks is integrated into the economic management of our anticipated revenues, anticipated expenses, assets and liabilities. Derivatives may be effective in mitigating these risks (1) that could lead to declines in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, or (2) that could cause our asset values mayto fall or our liabilities to increase. Accordingly, our derivative activity summarized below generally represents an impact that is intended to offset associated revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities that are not included in the tables below.

67


In certain cases, we apply the normal purchase or sale exception to derivative instruments and have other commodity contracts that are not derivatives. These contracts are not recorded at fair value and are therefore excluded from the disclosures below.
In all other cases, we record derivatives at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have derivatives that are either (1) cash flow hedges, (2) fair value hedges, or (3) undesignated. Depending on the applicability of hedge accounting and, for the California Utilities and other operations subject to regulatory accounting, the requirement to pass impacts through to customers, the impact of derivative instruments may be offset in OCI (cash flow hedges), on the balance sheet (regulatory offsets), or recognized in earnings (fair value hedges)hedges and undesignated derivatives not subject to rate recovery). We classify cash flows from the principal settlements of cross-currency swaps that hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt as financing activities and settlements of other derivative instruments as operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
HEDGE ACCOUNTING
We may designate a derivative as a cash flow hedging instrument if it effectively converts anticipated cash flows associated with revenues or expenses to a fixed dollar amount. We may utilize cash flow hedge accounting for derivative commodity instruments, foreign currency instruments and interest rate instruments. Designating cash flow hedges is dependent on the business context in which the instrument is being used, the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk that the future cash flows of a given revenue or expense item may vary, and other criteria.
ENERGY DERIVATIVES
Our market risk is primarily related to natural gas and electricity price volatility and the specific physical locations where we transact. We use energy derivatives to manage these risks. The use of energy derivatives in our various businesses depends on the particular energy market, and the operating and regulatory environments applicable to the business, as follows:
The California Utilities use natural gas and electricity derivatives, for the benefit of customers, with the objective of managing price risk and basis risks, and stabilizing and lowering natural gas and electricity costs. These derivatives include fixed price natural gas and electricity positions, options, and basis risk instruments, which are either exchange-traded or over-the-counter financial instruments, or bilateral physical transactions. This activity is governed by risk management and transacting activity plans that have been filed with and approved by the CPUC. Natural gas and electricity derivative activities are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and are recovered in rates. Net commodity cost impacts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are reflected in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power or in Cost of Natural Gas.
SDG&E is allocated and may purchase CRRs, which serve to reduce the regional electricity price volatility risk that may result from local transmission capacity constraints. Unrealized gains and losses do not impact earnings, as they are offset by regulatory account balances. Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Sempra Mexico and Sempra LNG may use natural gas and electricity derivatives, as appropriate, to optimize the earnings of their assets which support the following businesses: LNG, natural gas transportation and storage, and power generation. Gains and losses associated with undesignated derivatives are recognized in Energy-Related Businesses Revenues or in Energy-Related Businesses Cost of Sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Certain of these derivatives may also be designated as cash flow hedges. Sempra Mexico may also use natural gas energy derivatives with the objective of managing price risk and lowering natural gas prices at its distribution operations. These derivatives, which are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and recovered in rates, are recognized in Cost of Natural Gas on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
From time to time, our various businesses, including the California Utilities, may use other energy derivatives to hedge exposures such as the price of vehicle fuel and GHG allowances.

The California Utilities use natural gas and electricity derivatives, for the benefit of customers, with the objective of managing price risk and basis risks, and stabilizing and lowering natural gas and electricity costs. These derivatives include fixed-price natural gas and electricity positions, options, and basis risk instruments, which are either exchange-traded or over-the-counter financial instruments, or bilateral physical transactions.

From time to time, our various businesses, including the California Utilities, may use other energy derivatives to hedge exposures such as the price of vehicle fuel and greenhouse gas allowances.

In addition to the amounts noted above, we use commodity derivatives to manage risks associated with the physical locations of contractual obligations and assets, such as natural gas purchases and sales.
INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES
We are exposed to interest rates primarily as a result of our current and expected use of financing. The California Utilities, as well as Sempra Energy and its other subsidiaries and JVs, periodically enter into interest rate derivative agreements intended to moderate our exposure to interest rates and to lower our overall costs of borrowing. In addition, we may utilize interest rate swaps, typically designated as cash flow hedges, to lock in interest rates on outstanding debt or in anticipation of future financings. Separately, Otay Mesa VIE previously entered into interest rate swap agreements, designated as cash flow hedges, to moderate its exposure to interest rate changes.
The following table presents the net notional amounts of our interest rate derivatives, excluding JVs.

Includes Otay Mesa VIE. All of SDG&E’s interest rate derivatives relate to Otay Mesa VIE. On August 14, 2019, OMEC LLC paid in full its variable-rate loan and terminated its interest rate swaps.
FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES
We utilize cross-currency swaps to hedge exposure related to Mexican peso-denominated debt at our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs. These cash flow hedges exchange our Mexican peso-denominated principal and interest payments into the U.S. dollar and swap Mexican variable interest rates for U.S. fixed interest rates. From time to time, Sempra Mexico and its JVs may use other foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposures related to cash flows associated with revenues from contracts denominated in Mexican pesos that are indexed to the U.S. dollar.
We are also exposed to exchange rate movements at our Mexican subsidiaries and JVs, which have U.S. dollar-denominated cash balances, receivables, payables and debt (monetary assets and liabilities) that give rise to Mexican currency exchange rate movements for Mexican income tax purposes. They also have deferred income tax assets and liabilities denominated in the Mexican peso, which must be translated to U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. In addition, monetary assets and liabilities and certain nonmonetary assets and liabilities are adjusted for Mexican inflation for Mexican income tax purposes. We utilize foreign currency derivatives as a means to manage the risk of exposure to significant fluctuations in our income tax expense and equity earnings from these impacts; however, we generally do not hedge our deferred income tax assets and liabilities or for inflation.

We also utilized foreign currency derivatives to hedge exposure to fluctuations in the Peruvian sol and Chilean peso related to the sales of our operations in Peru and Chile, respectively.

For Sempra Energy Consolidated, we expect that net losses of $12$72 million, which are net of income tax benefit, that are currently recorded in AOCI related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged items affect earnings. SoCalGas expects that $1 million of losses, net of income tax benefit, that are currently recorded in AOCI related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months as the hedged items affect earnings. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified into earnings depend on the interest rates in effect when derivative contracts mature.
For all forecasted transactions, the maximum remaining term over which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at September 30, 20192020 is approximately 1314 years for Sempra Energy Consolidated. The maximum remaining term for which we are hedging exposure to the variability of cash flows at our equity method investees is 1519 years.

CONTINGENT FEATURES
For Sempra Energy Consolidated, SDG&E and SoCalGas, certain of our derivative instruments contain credit limits which vary depending on our credit ratings. Generally, these provisions, if applicable, may reduce our credit limit if a specified credit rating agency reduces our ratings. In certain cases, if our credit ratings were to fall below investment grade, the counterparty to these derivative liability instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full collateralization. 
For Sempra Energy Consolidated, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 was $7$8 million and $16$21 million, respectively. For SoCalGas, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 was $4$7 million and $5$4 million, respectively. At September 30, 2019,2020, if the credit ratings of Sempra Energy or SoCalGas were reduced below investment grade, $8 million and $4$7 million, respectively, of additional assets could be required to be posted as collateral for these derivative contracts.
For Sempra Energy Consolidated, SDG&E and SoCalGas, some of our derivative contracts contain a provision that would permit the counterparty, in certain circumstances, to request adequate assurance of our performance under the contracts. Such additional assurance, if needed, is not material and is not included in the amounts above.
NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We discuss the valuation techniques and inputs we use to measure fair value and the definition of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

73


RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASURES
The three tables below, by level within the fair value hierarchy, set forth our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018.2019. We classify financial assets and liabilities in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair valued assets and liabilities, and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. We have not changed the valuation techniques or types of inputs we use to measure recurring fair value since December 31, 2018.2019.
The fair value of commodity derivative assets and liabilities is presented in accordance with our netting policy, as we discuss in Note 8 under “Financial Statement Presentation.”
The determination of fair values, shown in the tables below, incorporates various factors, including but not limited to, the credit standing of the counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements (such as cash deposits, letters of credit and priority interests).
Our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis in the tables below include the following (other than a $6$5 million investment at September 30,December 31, 2019, measured at net asset value):
Nuclear decommissioning trusts reflect the assets of SDG&E’s NDT, excluding cash balances. A third-party trustee values the trust assets using prices from a pricing service based on a market approach. We validate these prices by comparison to prices from other independent data sources. Securities are valued using quoted prices listed on nationally recognized securities exchanges or based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1). Other securities are valued based on yields that are currently available for comparable securities of issuers with similar credit ratings (Level 2).
For commodity contracts, interest rate derivatives and foreign exchange instruments, we primarily use a market or income approach with market participant assumptions to value these derivatives. Market participant assumptions include those about risk, and the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation techniques. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. We have exchange-traded derivatives that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for the identical instruments (Level 1). We also may have other commodity derivatives that are valued using industry standard models that consider quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, volatility factors, and other relevant economic measures (Level 2). Level 3 recurring items relate to CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions at SDG&E, as we discuss below in “Level 3 Information.”
Rabbi Trust investments include marketable securities that we value using a market approach based on closing prices reported in the active market in which the identical security is traded (Level 1). These investments in marketable securities were negligible at both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

These investments in marketable securities were negligible at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
As we discuss in Note 6, in July 2020, Sempra Energy entered into a Support Agreement for the benefit of CFIN. We measure the Support Agreement, which includes a guarantee obligation, a put option and a call option, net of related guarantee fees, at fair value on a recurring basis. We use a discounted cash flow model to value the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees. Because some of the inputs that are significant to the valuation are less observable, the Support Agreement is classified as Level 3, as we describe below in “Level 3 Information – Sempra LNG.”

Inputs used to determine the fair value of CRRs and fixed-price electricity positions are reviewed and compared with market conditions to determine reasonableness. SDG&E expects all costs related to these instruments to be recoverable through customer rates. As such, there is no impact to earnings from changes in the fair value of these instruments.

77


CRRs are recorded at fair value based almost entirely on the most current auction prices published by the California ISO, an objective source. Annual auction prices are published once a year, typically in the middle of November, and are the basis for valuing CRRs settling in the following year. For the CRRs settling from January 1 to December 31, the auction price inputs, at a given location, were in the following ranges for the years indicated below:
CONGESTION REVENUE RIGHTS AUCTION PRICE INPUTS
  
Settlement yearPrice per MWhMedian price per MWh
2019$(8.57)to$35.21
$(2.94)
2018(7.25)to11.99
0.09

CONGESTION REVENUE RIGHTS AUCTION PRICE INPUTS
Settlement yearPrice per MWhMedian price per MWh
2020$(3.77)to$6.03 $(1.58)
2019(8.57)to35.21 (2.94)
The impact associated with discounting is negligible. Because these auction prices are a less observable input, these instruments are classified as Level 3. The fair value of these instruments is derived from auction price differences between two locations. Positive values between two locations represent expected future reductions in congestion costs, whereas negative values between two locations represent expected future charges. Valuation of our CRRs is sensitive to a change in auction price. If auction prices at one location increase (decrease) relative to another location, this could result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. We summarize CRR volumes in Note 8.
Long-term, fixed-price electricity positions that are valued using significant unobservable data are classified as Level 3 because the contract terms relate to a delivery location or tenor for which observable market rate information is not available. The fair value of the net electricity positions classified as Level 3 is derived from a discounted cash flow model using market electricity forward price inputs. The range and weighted-average price of these inputs at September 30 were as follows:
LONG-TERM, FIXED-PRICE ELECTRICITY POSITIONS PRICE INPUTS  
   
Settlement year Price per MWh Weighted-average price per MWh
2019$21.60
to$57.20
$38.29
2018 20.40
to 57.70
 38.87

LONG-TERM, FIXED-PRICE ELECTRICITY POSITIONS PRICE INPUTS
Settlement yearPrice per MWhWeighted-average price per MWh
2020$19.45 to$71.25 $38.14 
201921.60 to57.20 38.29 
A significant increase (decrease) in market electricity forward prices would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value. We summarize long-term, fixed-price electricity position volumes in Note 8.
Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs and long-term, fixed-price electricity positions, which are recoverable in rates, are recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Because unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities, they do not affect earnings.
Sempra LNG

(2)    Included in Other Current Assets on the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is based on a discounted cash flow model using a probability of default and survival methodology. Our estimate of fair value considers inputs such as third-party default rates, credit ratings, recovery rates, and risk-adjusted discount rates, which may be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. Because CFIN’s credit rating and related default and survival rates are unobservable inputs that are
78


significant to the valuation, the Support Agreement, net of related guarantee fees, is classified as Level 3. We assigned CFIN an internally developed credit rating of A3 and relied on default rate data published by Moody’s to assign a probability of default. A hypothetical change in the credit rating up or down one notch would not result in a significant change in the fair value of the Support Agreement.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values of certain of our financial instruments (cash, accounts and notes receivable, dividends receivable from discontinued operations, short-term amounts due to/from unconsolidated affiliates, dividends and accounts payable, short-term debt and customer deposits) approximate their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Investments in life insurance contracts that we hold in support of our Supplemental Executive Retirement, Cash Balance Restoration and Deferred Compensation Plans are carried at cash surrender values, which represent the amount of cash that could be realized under the contracts. The following table provides the carrying amounts and fair values of certain other financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 10. SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
We provide below updates to ongoing matters related to SONGS, a nuclear generating facility near San Clemente, California that ceased operations in June 2013, and in which SDG&E has a 20 percent20% ownership interest. We discuss SONGS further in Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
NUCLEAR DECOMMISSIONING AND FUNDING
As a result of Edison’s decision to permanently retire SONGS Units 2 and 3, Edison began the decommissioning phase of the plant. TheWe expect the majority of the dismantlementdecommissioning work is expected to take 10 years after receipt of all the required permits. The coastal development permit, the last permit required to be obtained, was issued in October 2019. The Samuel Lawrence Foundation filed a writ petition under the California Coastal Act in LA Superior Court in December 2019 seeking to invalidate this permit and we expect majorto obtain injunctive relief to stop decommissioning work. In September 2020, the Samuel Lawrence Foundation filed another writ petition under the California Coastal Act in LA Superior Court seeking to set aside the California Coastal Commission’s July 2020 approval of the inspection and maintenance plan for the SONGS’ canisters and to obtain injunctive relief to stop decommissioning work. Major decommissioning work to beginbegan in 2020.2020 and has not been interrupted by the writ petitions filed by the Samuel Lawrence Foundation. Decommissioning of Unit 1, removed from service in 1992, is largely complete. The remaining work for Unit 1 will be completed once Units 2 and 3 are dismantled and the spent fuel is removed from the site. The spent fuel is currently being stored on-site, until the DOE identifies a spent fuel storage facility and puts in place a program for the fuel’s disposal, as we discuss below. SDG&E is responsible for approximately 20 percent20% of the total contract price.
In accordance with state and federal requirements and regulations, SDG&E has assets held in the NDT to fund its share of decommissioning costs for SONGS Units 1, 2 and 3. The amounts collected in rates for SONGS’ decommissioning are invested in the NDT, which is comprised of externally managed trust funds. Amounts held by the NDT are invested in accordance with


CPUC regulations. SDG&E classifies debt and equity securities held in the NDT as available-for-sale. The NDT assets are presented on the Sempra Energy and SDG&E Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with the offsetting credits recorded in noncurrent Regulatory Liabilities.
Except for the use of funds for the planning of decommissioning activities or NDT administrative costs, CPUC approval is required for SDG&E to access the NDT assets to fund SONGS decommissioning costs for Units 2 and 3. In March 2020, SDG&E has received authorization from the CPUC to access NDT funds of up to $455$109 million for 2013 through 2019 (2019 forecasted) SONGS decommissioningforecasted 2020 costs. This includes up to $93 million authorized by the CPUC in January 2019 to be withdrawn from the NDT for forecasted 2019 SONGS Units 2 and 3 costs as decommissioning costs are incurred.
In December 2016,September 2020, the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued proposedpublished final regulations that clarify the definition of “nuclear decommissioning costs,” which are costs that may be paid for or reimbursed from a qualified trust fund. The proposedfinal regulations state that costs related toadopted most of the construction and maintenanceprovisions of independent spent fuel management installations are included in the definition of “nuclear decommissioning costs.” The proposed regulations will be effective prospectively once they are finalized; however, the IRS has stated that it will not challenge taxpayer positions consistent with the proposed regulations forissued in December 2016. The final regulations apply to taxable years ending on or after September 4, 2020 and confirm that the date the proposed regulations were issued. SDG&E is awaiting the adoptiondefinition of or additional refinement“nuclear decommissioning costs” includes amounts related to the proposedstorage of spent nuclear fuel at both on-site and off-site ISFSIs.
The final regulations before determining whetheralso clarify that costs incurred for ISFSIs that may be or are expected to be reimbursed by the proposedDOE may be paid or reimbursed from a qualified trust fund. Accordingly, the final regulations will allow SDG&E the option to access the NDTqualified trust funds for reimbursement or payment of the spent fuel management costs incurred in 2017 and subsequent years. Further clarification of the proposed regulations could enable SDG&E to access the NDT to recover spent fuel managementstorage costs before Edison reaches final settlement with the DOE regarding the DOE’s reimbursement of these costs. Historically, the DOE’s reimbursements of spent fuel storage costs have not resulted in timely or complete recovery of these costs. We discuss the DOE’s responsibility for spent nuclear fuel below. The IRS held public hearings on the proposed regulations in October 2017. It is unclear when clarification of the proposed regulations might be provided or when the proposed regulations will be finalized.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION AND SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL
The present value of SDG&E’s ARO related to decommissioning costs for the SONGS units was $614$593 million at September 30, 2019.2020. That amount includes the cost to decommission Units 2 and 3, and the remaining cost to complete the decommissioning of Unit 1, which is substantially complete. The ARO for all three units is based on a cost study prepared in 2017 that is pending CPUC approval. The ARO for Units 2 and 3 reflects the acceleration of the start of decommissioning of these units as a result of the early closure of the plant. SDG&E’s share of total decommissioning costs in 20192020 dollars is approximately $834$860 million.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NUCLEAR FUEL DISPOSAL
Spent nuclear fuel from SONGS is currently stored on-site in an ISFSI licensed by the NRC or temporarily in spent fuel pools.Nuclear Regulatory Commission. In October 2015, the California Coastal Commission approved Edison’s application forto expand the proposed expansion of the ISFSI at SONGS.ISFSI. The ISFSI expansion began construction in 2016 and the transfer of the spent nuclear fuel from Units 2 and 3 to the ISFSI began in 2018. Edison suspended this transfer2018 and was completed in August 2018 due to an incident that was subsequently resolved to the NRC’s satisfaction according to the NRC’s supplemental inspection report released in July 2019. Edison resumed spent fuel transfer operations in July 2019.2020. The ISFSI will operate until 2049, when it is assumed that the DOE will have taken custody of all the SONGS spent fuel. The ISFSI would then be decommissioned, and the site restored to its original environmental state. Until then, SONGS owners are responsible for interim storage of spent nuclear fuel at SONGS.
The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 made the DOE responsible for accepting, transporting, and disposing of spent nuclear fuel. However, it is uncertain when the DOE will begin accepting spent nuclear fuel from SONGS. This delay will lead to increased costs for spent fuel storage. In November 2019, Edison filed a claim for spent fuel management costs in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims for the time period from January 2017 through July 2018. It is unclear when Edison will pursue litigation claims for spent fuel management costs incurred on or after August 1, 2018. SDG&E will continue to support Edison in its pursuit of claims on behalf of the SONGS co-owners against the DOE for its failure to timely accept the spent nuclear fuel. However, it is unclear whether Edison will enter into a new settlement with the DOE or pursue litigation claims for spent fuel management costs incurred on or after January 1, 2017.
NUCLEAR INSURANCE
SDG&E and the other owners of SONGS have insurance to cover claims from nuclear liability incidents arising at SONGS. Currently, this insurance provides $450 million in coverage limits, the maximum amount available, including coverage for acts of terrorism. In addition, the Price-Anderson Act provides an additional $110 million of coverage. If a nuclear liability loss occurs at SONGS and exceeds the $450 million insurance limit, this additional coverage would be available to provide a total of $560 million in coverage limits per incident.
TheAs a result of updated coverage assessments, the SONGS owners including SDG&E, also maintainhave nuclear property damage insurance at $1.5 billion, with a $500of $130 million, property damage sublimit on the ISFSI, which exceeds the minimum federal requirements of $1.06 billion.$50 million. This insurance coverage is provided through NEIL. The NEIL policies have specific exclusions and limitations that can result in reduced or eliminated coverage. Insured members as a group are subject to retrospective premium assessments to cover losses sustained by NEIL under all issued policies. SDG&E could be assessed up to $10.4$3.5 million of retrospective premiums based on overall member claims.


The nuclear property insurance program includes an industry aggregate loss limit for non-certified acts of terrorism (as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act) of $3.24 billion. This is the maximum amount that will be paid to insured members who suffer losses or damages from these non-certified terrorist acts.
NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We accrue losses for a legal proceeding when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. However, the uncertainties inherent in legal proceedings make it difficult to reasonably estimate the costs and effects of resolving these matters. Accordingly, actual costs incurred may differ materially from amounts accrued, may exceed applicable insurance coverage and could materially adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. Unless otherwise indicated, we are unable to estimate reasonably possible losses in excess of any amounts accrued.
At September 30, 2019,2020, loss contingency accruals for legal matters, including associated legal fees, that are probable and estimable were $97$444 million for Sempra Energy Consolidated, including $50$299 million for SoCalGas. Amounts for Sempra Energy Consolidated and SoCalGas include $49$273 million for matters related to the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility gas leak, which we discuss below.
SDG&E
2007 Wildfire Litigation and Net Cost Recovery Status
SDG&E has resolved all civil litigation associated with three wildfires that occurred in October 2007.
As a result of a CPUC decision denying SDG&E’s request to recover wildfire costs, SDG&E wrote off the wildfire regulatory asset, resulting in a charge of $351 million ($208 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 2017. SDG&E applied to the CPUC for rehearing of its decision but, in July 2018, the CPUC denied SDG&E’s rehearing request. In November 2018, the California Court of Appeal denied SDG&E’s petition to reverse the CPUC’s decision. In January 2019, the California Supreme Court denied SDG&E’s petition to reverse the decisions of the CPUC and the California Court of Appeal. In October 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the case, effectively ending SDG&E’s efforts to recover the wildfire regulatory asset.
SoCalGas
Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
OnFrom October 23, 2015 through February 11, 2016, SoCalGas discoveredexperienced a natural gas leak atfrom one of itsthe injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility in Los Angeles County. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility has been operated by SoCalGas since 1972. SS25 is one of more than 100 injection-and-withdrawal wells at the storage facility. SoCalGas worked closely with several of the world’s leading experts to stop the Leak, and on February 18, 2016, DOGGR confirmed that the well was permanently sealed.
As discussed in “Cost Estimates and Accounting Impact” below, SoCalGas incurred significant costs for temporary relocation, to control the well and to stop the Leak, as well as to purchase natural gas to replace that lost through the Leak. As discussed in “Local Community Mitigation Efforts” below, during the Leak and in the months following the sealing of the well, SoCalGas provided support to nearby residents who wished to temporarily relocate as a result of the Leak. These programs ended in July 2016.
SoCalGas has additionally incurred significant costs to defend against and, in certain cases, settle, civil and criminal litigation arising from the Leak; to pay the costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak including the costs for an independent third party to conduct a root cause analysis to investigate the technical cause of the Leak; to respond to various government and agency investigations regarding the Leak; and to comply with increased regulation imposed as a result of the Leak. As further described below in “Civil and Criminal Litigation,Litigation” and “Regulatory Proceedings,“Regulatory Proceedings”numerous lawsuits, investigations and “Governmental Investigations and Orders and Additional Regulation,” these activities are ongoing and SoCalGas anticipates that it will incur additional suchregulatory proceedings have been
82


initiated in response to the Leak, resulting in significant costs, which may also be significant.


Local Community Mitigation Efforts. Pursuant to a directive by the DPH and orders by the LA Superior Court, SoCalGas provided temporary relocation support to residents in the nearby community who requested it. The DPH issued a second directive generally requiring SoCalGas to professionally clean the homes of Porter Ranch residents (the Directive), which is addressed within the Government Plaintiffs Settlement that we discusstogether with other Leak-related costs are discussed below in “Civil“Cost Estimates, Accounting Impact and Criminal Litigation.Insurance.
The costs incurred to mitigate local community impacts have been significant. If any of these costs are not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), if there are significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Civil and Criminal Litigation. As of October 28, 2019, 390November 2, 2020, 394 lawsuits, including approximately 36,000 plaintiffs, are pending against SoCalGas related to the Leak, some of which have also named Sempra Energy. All these cases, other than a matter brought by the Los Angeles County District Attorney and the federal securities class action discussed below, are coordinated before a single court in the LA Superior Court for pretrial management.
In November 2017, in the coordinated proceeding, individuals and business entities asserting tort and Proposition 65 claims filed a Third Amended Consolidated Master Case Complaint for Individual Actions, through which their separate lawsuits will be managed for pretrial purposes. The consolidated complaint asserts causes of action for negligence, negligence per se, private and public nuisance (continuing and permanent), trespass, inverse condemnation, strict liability, negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraudulent concealment, loss of consortium, wrongful death and violations of Proposition 65 against SoCalGas, with certain causes of action also naming Sempra Energy. The consolidated complaint seeks compensatory and punitive damages for personal injuries, lost wages and/or lost profits, property damage and diminution in property value, injunctive relief, costs of future medical monitoring, civil penalties (including penalties associated with Proposition 65 claims alleging violation of requirements for warning about certain chemical exposures), and attorneys’ fees. The court has scheduled an initial trial previously scheduled for June 24, 2020 for a small number of randomly selected individual plaintiffs.plaintiffs was postponed, with a new trial date to be determined by the court.
In January 2017, 2 consolidated class action complaints were filed against SoCalGas and Sempra Energy, 1 on behalf of a putative class of persons and businesses who own or lease real property within a five-mile radius of the well (the Property Class Action), and a second on behalf of a putative class of all persons and entities conducting business within five miles of the facility (the Business Class Action). Both complaints assertThe Property Class Action asserts claims for strict liability for ultra-hazardous activities, negligence, andnegligence per se, violation of the California Unfair Competition Law. The Property Class Action also asserts claims for negligence per se,Law, trespass, permanent and continuing public and private nuisance, and inverse condemnation. The Business Class Action also asserts a claim for negligent interference with prospective economic advantage.violation of the California Unfair Competition Law. Both complaints seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees. In May 2019, the California Supreme Court ruled that the purely economic damages alleged in the Business Class Action are not recoverable under the law, and in September 2019, in accordance with the ruling, the LA Superior Court dismissed the strict liability, negligence and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage causes of action in the Business Class Action complaint.
Complaints byThree property developers were filed complaints in 2017July and October of 2018 against SoCalGas and Sempra Energy alleging causes of action for strict liability, negligence per se, negligence, continuing nuisance, permanent nuisance and violation of the California Unfair Competition Law, as well as claims for negligence against certain directors of SoCalGas. The complaints seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, injunctive relief and attorneys’ fees.
In October 2018 and January 2019, complaints were filed on behalf of 51 plaintiffs who are firefighters stationed near the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility andwho allege they were injured by exposure to chemicals released during the Leak. The complaints against SoCalGas and Sempra Energy assert causes of actions for negligence, negligence per se, private and public nuisance (continuing and permanent), trespass, inverse condemnation, strict liability, negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraudulent concealment and loss of consortium. The complaints seek compensatory and punitive damages for personal injuries, lost wages and/or lost profits, property damage and diminution in property value, and attorney’s fees.
NaN shareholder derivative actions are also pending alleging breach of fiduciary duties against certain officers and certain directors of Sempra Energy and/or SoCalGas, three of which were joined in an Amended Consolidated Shareholder Derivative Complaint filed in February 2020.
In addition, a federal securities class action alleging violation of the federal securities laws was filed against Sempra Energy and certain of its officers and certain of its directorsin July 2017 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. In March 2018, the court dismissed the action with prejudice. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal ofhave appealed the dismissal.
Five shareholder derivative actions are also pending alleging breach of fiduciary duties against certain officers and certain directors of Sempra Energy and/or SoCalGas, four of which were joined in a Consolidated Shareholder Derivative Complaint in August 2017.
NaN actions by public entities were filed, including complaints byIn February 2019, the County of Los Angeles, on behalf of itself and the people of the State of California, the California Attorney General, acting in an independent capacity and on behalf of the people of the State of California and the CARB, and the Los Angeles City Attorney alleging public nuisance, unfair competition, and violations


of California Health and Safety Code provisions regarding discharge of contaminants, among other things, which sought injunctive relief, abatement, civil penalties and damages. The County of Los Angeles also filed a petition seeking a writ of mandate requiring DOGGR and the State Oil and Gas Supervisor to comply with SB 380 and the California Environmental Quality Act, as well as declaratory and injunctive relief against their authorization allowing SoCalGas to inject natural gas at the facility.
In August 2018, SoCalGas entered intoLA Superior Court approved a settlement agreement withbetween SoCalGas and the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, the County of Los Angeles, the California Office of the Attorney General and CARB (collectively, the Government Plaintiffs)of 3 actions filed by these entities under which SoCalGas made payments and agreed to settle these public entity actions and the Directive for payments andprovide funding for environmental projects totaling $120 million, including $21 million in civil penalties, (the Government Plaintiffs Settlement). Under the settlement agreement,as well as other safety-related commitments.
In September 2016, SoCalGas also agreed to continue its fence-line methane monitoring program, establishsettled a safety committee and hire an independent ombudsman to monitor and report on the safety at the facility. This settlement also fully resolves SoCalGas’ commitment to mitigate the actual natural gas released during the Leak and fulfills the requirements of the Governor’s Order, described below, for SoCalGas to pay for a mitigation program developed by CARB. The Government Plaintiffs Settlement was approved by the LA Superior Courtmisdemeanor criminal complaint filed in February 2019.
Separately, in February 2016 by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed a misdemeanor criminal complaint against SoCalGas, seeking penalties and other remedies for alleged failurepleading no contest to a charge that it failed to provide timely notice of the Leak pursuant to California Health and Safety Code section 25510(a), Los Angeles County Code section 12.56.030, and Title 19 California Code of Regulations section 2703(a), and for allegedly violating California Health and Safety Code section 41700 prohibiting discharge of air contaminants that cause annoyance to the public. Pursuant to a settlement agreement with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, SoCalGas agreed to plead no contest to the notice charge under Health and Safety Code section 25510(a) and agreed to pay the maximum fine of $75,000, penalty assessments of approximately $233,500, and operational commitments estimated to cost approximately $6 million, reimbursements and assessments in exchange for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office moving to dismiss the remaining counts at sentencing and settling the complaint (the District Attorney Settlement). SoCalGas completed the commitments and obligations under the District Attorney Settlement, and inIn November 2016, the LA Superior Court approved the settlement and entered judgment on the notice charge. Under the settlement, SoCalGas paid a $75,000 fine, $233,500 in penalties, and $246,673 to reimburse costs incurred by Los Angeles County Fire Department’s Health and Hazardous Materials Division, as well as completed operational commitments estimated to cost approximately $6 million. Certain individuals who objectobjected to the settlement petitioned the Court of Appeal to vacate the judgment, contending they should be granted restitution. In July 2019, the Court of Appeal denied the petition in part, but remanded the matter to the trial court to permitgive the petitioners an opportunity to
83


prove damages stemming from only from the three-day delay in reporting the Leak.
The costs of defending against these civil and criminal lawsuits, and any compensatory, statutory or punitive damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, penalties and other costs, if awarded or imposed, as well as Following the costs of mitigatinghearing, the actual natural gas released, could be significant. If any of these costs are not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), if there are significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.trial court denied restitution.
Regulatory Proceedings. In January 2016, DOGGRCalGEM and the CPUC selected Blade to conduct, under their supervision,directed an independent analysis of the technical root cause of the Leak to be fundedconducted by SoCalGas.Blade. In May 2019, Blade released its report, regarding its root cause analysis of the Leak. The report concludeswhich concluded that the Leak occurred on the morning of October 23, 2015, beginning with an axial rupturewas caused by a failure of the production casing of the well caused by external microbialdue to corrosion as a result of contact with groundwater, followed within hours by the complete separation of the casing. Blade assertsand that attempts to stop the Leak were unsuccessful due to insufficient kill fluid density and pump rates. Blade’s report assesses whether SoCalGas complied with gas storage regulations in existence at the time of the Leak, andnot effectively conducted, but did not identify any instances of non-compliance by SoCalGas. Blade concludesconcluded that SoCalGas’ compliance activities conducted prior to the Leak did not find indications of a casing integrity issue. In Blade’s opinion,Blade opined, however, that there were measures, none of which were required by gas storage regulations at the time, that could have been taken to aid in the early identification of corrosion and that, in Blade’s opinion, would have prevented or mitigated the Leak. The report also identified well safety practices and regulations that have since been adopted by DOGGRCalGEM and implemented by SoCalGas, which address most of the root cause of the Leak identified during Blade’s investigation.
In June 2019, the CPUC opened an OII to consider penalties against SoCalGas for the Leak, which it later bifurcated into two phases. The first phase will consider whether SoCalGas violated California Public Utilities Code Section 451 or other laws, CPUC orders or decisions, rules or requirements, whether SoCalGas engaged in unreasonable and/or imprudent practices with respect to its operation and maintenance of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility or its related record-keeping practices, whether SoCalGas cooperated sufficiently with the Safety Enforcement Division (SED) and Blade during the pre-formal investigation, and whether any of the mitigation proposed by Blade should be implemented to the extent not already done. In November 2019, SED, based largely on the Blade report, alleged a total of 330 violations, asserting that SoCalGas violated California Public Utilities Code Section 451 and failed to cooperate in the investigation and to keep proper records. We expect hearings in the first phase of the OII to begin in the first quarter of 2021. The second phase will consider whether SoCalGas should be sanctioned for the Leak and what damages, fines or other penalties or sanctions, if any, should be imposed for any violations, unreasonable or imprudent practices, or failure to sufficiently cooperate with the SED as determined by the CPUC in the first phase. In addition, the second phase will determine the amounts of various costs incurred by SoCalGas and other parties in connection with the Leak and the ratemaking treatment or other disposition of such costs, which could result in little or no recovery of such costs by SoCalGas. SoCalGas is engaged in settlement discussions in connection with this proceeding.
In February 2017, the CPUC opened a proceeding pursuant to SB 380 to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility while still maintaining energy and electric reliability for the region. The CPUC indicated it intends to conduct the proceeding in two phases, with Phase 1 undertaking a comprehensive effort to develop the appropriate analyses and scenarios to evaluate the impact of reducing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility and Phase 2 using those analyses and scenarios to evaluate the impacts of reducing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility.
The order establishing the scope of the proceeding expressly excludesregion, but excluding issues with respect to air quality, public health, causation, culpability or cost responsibility regarding the Leak. In January 2019, the CPUC concluded Phase 1The first phase of the proceeding by


establishingestablished a framework for the hydraulic, production cost and economic modeling assumptions for the potential reduction in usage or elimination of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. Phase 2 of the proceeding, which will evaluate the impacts of reducing or eliminating the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility using the established framework and models, began in the first quarter of 2019. The CPUC has indicated that it expectsis scheduled to issue its report in 2020.
for Phase 2 by March 31, 2021. In JuneDecember 2019, the CPUC opened an OIIadded a third phase of the proceeding to consider penalties against SoCalGasalternative means for meeting or avoiding the demand for the Leak. In September 2019, the CPUC issued an order bifurcating the proceeding into two phases and establishing the scope and schedule for the first phase. The issues to be determinedfacility’s services if it were eliminated in the first phase are whether SoCalGas violated Public Utilities Code section 451either 2027 or other laws, CPUC orders or decisions, rules or requirements, whether SoCalGas engaged in unreasonable and/or imprudent practices with respect to its operation and maintenance of2045.
If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed, or if future cash flows from its related record-keeping practices, whether SoCalGas cooperated sufficiently with the Safety Enforcement Division and Blade during the pre-formal investigation, and whether anyoperation were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, it could result in an impairment of the mitigation proposed by Blade shouldfacility and significantly higher than expected operating costs and/or additional capital expenditures, and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be implemented tojeopardized. At September 30, 2020, the extent not already done. The second phase will consider whether SoCalGas should be sanctioned for the LeakAliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $788 million. Any significant impairment of this asset, or higher operating costs and what penalties, if any, should be imposed for any violations proven in the first phase, as well as determine the amounts of various costsadditional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas that may not be recoverable in customer rates, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and other partiesSempra Energy’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Cost Estimates, Accounting Impact and Insurance. SoCalGas has incurred significant costs for temporary relocation of community residents; to control the well and stop the Leak; to mitigate the natural gas released; to purchase natural gas to replace what was lost through the Leak; to defend against and, in certain cases, settle, civil and criminal litigation arising from the Leak; to pay the costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak, including the costs for Blade to conduct the root cause analysis described above; to respond to various government and agency investigations regarding the Leak; and to comply with increased regulation imposed as a result of the Leak. At September 30, 2020, SoCalGas estimates these costs related to the Leak are $1,440 million (the cost estimate), which includes the $1,279 million of costs recovered or probable of recovery from insurance. This cost estimate may increase significantly as more information becomes available. A substantial portion of the cost estimate has been paid, and $268 million is accrued as Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $7 million is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other as of September 30, 2020 on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In the first quarter of 2020, SoCalGas recorded an accrual of $277 million, inclusive of estimated legal costs, of which $177 million was recorded in Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs on the SoCalGas and Sempra Energy Condensed
84


Consolidated Balance Sheets and $100 million ($72 million after tax) was recorded in O&M on the SoCalGas and Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to settlement discussions in connection with the Leakprivate plaintiffs’ actions described in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” above. SoCalGas continues to monitor and evaluate the status of the private plaintiffs’ actions and the ratemaking treatmentOII described in “Regulatory Proceedings” above and, in the third quarter of 2020, recorded an additional accrual of $27 million ($22 million after tax) in O&M on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. These accruals are included in the cost estimate that we describe above.
Except for the amounts paid or other disposition of such costs.
Theestimated to settle certain actions, as described in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” above, the cost estimate does not include all litigation, regulatory proceedings or regulatory costs to respondthe extent it is not possible to predict at this investigation and anytime the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the costs to defend or resolve the actions or the amount of damages, restitution, or civil, administrative or criminal fines, sanctions, fines, penalties or other costs or remedies that may be imposed or incurred. The cost estimate also does not include certain other costs incurred by Sempra Energy associated with defending against shareholder derivative lawsuits and other potential costs that we currently do not anticipate incurring or that we cannot reasonably estimate. These costs not included in the CPUCcost estimate could be significant and may not be covered completely by insurance (including costs in excess of applicable policy limits). Such amounts could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

In January 2016, the Governorreceived insurance payments for many of the State of California proclaimed a state of emergencycosts included in Los Angeles County due to the Leak. The proclamation ordered various actions with respect to the Leak, including: (1) applicable agencies must convene an independent panel of scientific and medical experts to review public health concerns stemming from the Leak and evaluate whether additional measures are needed to protect public health; (2) the CPUC must ensure that SoCalGas covers costs related to the Leak and its response while protecting ratepayers; (3) CARB must develop a program, to be funded by SoCalGas, to fully mitigate the Leak’s emissions of methane; and (4) DOGGR, CPUC, CARB and the CEC must submit to the Governor’s Office a report that assesses the long-term viability of natural gas storage facilities in California. The Government Plaintiffs Settlement described above satisfies the mitigation requirement of the Governor’s emergency proclamation.
Cost Estimates and Accounting Impact. At September 30, 2019, SoCalGas estimates its costs related to the Leak are $1,099 million (the cost estimate), which includes $1,069 million of costs recovered or probable of recovery from insurance. Approximately 52 percent of the cost estimate, is for theincluding temporary relocation program (including cleaningand associated processing costs, and certain labor costs). The remaining portion of the cost estimate includes costs incurred to defend litigation, thecontrol-of-well expenses, costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak, includingcertain legal costs and lost gas. We intend to pursue the full extent of our insurance coverage for the costs we have incurred. Other than directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, after taking into consideration the additional accrual related to litigation matters described above, we have exhausted all of our insurance in this matter, except as to certain defense costs we may incur in the future, including those related to the shareholder derivative lawsuits described above. We continue to pursue other sources of insurance coverage for costs related to this matter, but we may not be successful in obtaining additional insurance recovery for any of these costs. If we are not able to secure additional insurance recovery for all or a substantial portion of these costs, if any costs we have recorded as an independent third partyinsurance receivable are not collected, if there are delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to conduct a root cause analysis, efforts to controlincome taxes while the well, to mitigate the natural gas released, the cost of replacing the lost gas, theassociated costs of settlements with government entities and other costs. The cost estimate doesare not include potential additional litigation costs, regulatory-related costs or other costs described below,tax deductible, such amounts, which could be material. SoCalGas adjusts the cost estimate as additional information becomes available. A substantial portion of the cost estimate has been paid, and $45 million is accrued in Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $9 million is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other as of September 30, 2019significant, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
As of September 30, 2019,2020, we recorded the expected recovery of the cost estimate related to the Leak of $354$504 million as Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is netexclusive of insurance retentions and $715$775 million of insurance proceeds we received through September 30, 2019. The Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs and insurance proceeds received to date relate to portions of the cost estimate described above, including temporary relocation and associated processing costs, control-of-well expenses, costs of the government-ordered response including for an independent third party to conduct a root cause analysis, the costs to settle certain claims as described above, the estimated costs to perform obligations pursuant to settlement of some of those claims, legal costs and lost gas.2020. If we were to conclude that this receivable or a portion of it is no longer probable of recovery from insurers, some or all of this receivable would be charged against earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
As described in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” above, the actions seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, penalties and other costs, which, except for the amounts paid or estimated to settle certain actions as described above, are not included in the cost estimate as it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of


these actions or reasonably estimate the amount of damages, restitution or civil, administrative or criminal fines, penalties or other costs that may be imposed. The recorded amounts above also do not include future legal costs necessary to defend litigation, and other potential costs that we currently do not anticipate incurring or that we cannot reasonably estimate. Furthermore, the cost estimate does not include any sanctions, fines, penalties or other costs that may be imposed by the CPUC in connection with the OII opened in June 2019 and certain other costs incurred by Sempra Energy associated with defending against shareholder derivative lawsuits.
Insurance. Excluding directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, we have at least four kinds of insurance policies that together we estimate provide between $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion in insurance coverage, depending on the nature of the claims. At September 30, 2019, SoCalGas’ estimate of costs related to the Leak of $1,099 million include $1,069 million of costs recovered or probable of recovery from insurance. This estimate may rise significantly as more information becomes available. Costs not included in the $1,099 million cost estimate could be material. We cannot predict all of the potential categories of costs or the total amount of costs that we may incur as a result of the Leak. Subject to various policy limits, exclusions and conditions, based on what we know as of the filing date of this report, we believe that costs in the following categories should be recoverable through insurance: costs incurred for temporary relocation and associated processing costs (including cleaning costs and certain labor costs), costs to address the Leak and stop or reduce emissions, costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak including the costs for an independent third party to conduct a root cause analysis, the value of lost gas, costs incurred to mitigate the actual natural gas released, costs associated with litigation and claims by nearby residents and businesses, and, in some circumstances depending on their nature and manner of assessment, fines and penalties. We have been communicating with our insurance carriers and, as discussed above, we have received insurance payments for portions of the costs described above, including temporary relocation and associated processing costs, control-of-well expenses, costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak, legal costs and lost gas. We intend to pursue the full extent of our insurance coverage for the costs we have incurred or may incur. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining additional insurance recovery for these costs.
If any costs are not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), if there are significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability.Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important for service reliability during peak demand periods, including peak electric generation needs in the summer and heating needs in the winter. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, with a capacity of 86 Bcf (representing 63 percent of SoCalGas’ natural gas storage capacity), is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important element of SoCalGas’ delivery system. As a result of the Leak, SoCalGas suspended injection of natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility beginning in October 2015, and following a comprehensive safety review and authorization by DOGGR and the CPUC’s Executive Director, resumed limited injection operations in July 2017.
During the suspension period, SoCalGas advised the California ISO, CEC, CPUC and PHMSA of its concerns that the inability to inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility posed a risk to energy reliability in Southern California. Following the resumption of injection operations, the CPUC has issued a series of directives to SoCalGas specifying the range of working gas to be maintained in the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility to help ensure safety and reliability for the region and just and reasonable rates in California, the most recent of which, issued in July 2018, directed SoCalGas to maintain up to 34 Bcf of working gas. Limited withdrawals of natural gas from the facility were made in 2018 and 2019 to augment natural gas supplies during critical demand periods. In July 2019, the CPUC issued a protocol authorizing withdrawals of natural gas from the facility if gas supply is low in the region, to maintain system reliability and price stability.
If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed, or if future cash flows were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, it could result in an impairment of the facility and significantly higher than expected operating costs and/or additional capital expenditures, and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized. At September 30, 2019, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $771 million. Any significant impairment of this asset could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s results of operations for the period in which it is recorded. Higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas may not be recoverable in customer rates and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

Property Disputes and Permit Challenges


Energía Costa Azul. Azul
IEnova has been engaged in a long-running land dispute relating to property adjacent to its ECA LNG terminal near Ensenada, Mexico.Regasification facility that allegedly overlaps with land owned by the ECA LNG Regasification facility (the facility, however, is not situated on the land that is the subject of this dispute). A claimant to the adjacent property filed complaints in the federal Agrarian Court challenging the refusal of SEDATU in 2006 to issue a title to him for the disputed property. In November 2013, the federal Agrarian Court ordered that SEDATU issue the requested title and cause it to be registered. Both SEDATU and IEnova challenged the ruling due to lack of notification of the underlying process. In May 2019, a federal court in Mexico reversed the ruling. IEnova expects additionalruling and ordered a retrial.
NaN other cases involving two adjacent areas of real property on which part of the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated, each brought by a single plaintiff or her descendants, remain pending against the facility. The first disputed area is subject to a claim in the federal Agrarian Court that has been ongoing since 2006, in which the plaintiffs seek to annul the property title for a portion of the land on which the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated and to obtain possession of a different parcel that allegedly overlaps with the site of the ECA LNG Regasification facility. The second disputed area is one parcel adjacent to the ECA LNG Regasification facility that allegedly overlaps with land on which the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated, which is subject to a claim in the Agrarian Court and two claims in civil courts. The Agrarian Court proceeding, which seeks an order that SEDATU issue title to the plaintiff, was initiated in 2013 and the parties are awaiting a final decision. The two civil court proceedings, regardingwhich seek to invalidate the claims.contract by which the ECA LNG Regasification facility purchased the applicable parcel of land on which the ECA LNG Regasification facility is situated on the grounds that the purchase price was allegedly unfair, are progressing at different stages. In the first, initiated in 2013, a lower court ruled in favor of the ECA LNG Regasification facility and the ruling has been appealed by the plaintiff. The same plaintiff filed the second civil case in 2019, which is in its initial stages.

Certain of these land disputes involve land on which portions of the proposed ECA LNG liquefaction facility are anticipated to be situated or on which portions of the ECA LNG Regasification facility that would be necessary for the operation of the proposed ECA LNG liquefaction facility are situated.
Several administrative challenges are pending in Mexico before theMexico’s Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (the Mexican environmental protection agencyagency) and the Federal Tax and Administrative Courts, seeking revocation of the environmental impact authorization issued to the ECA LNG Regasification facility in 2003. These cases generally allege that the conditions and mitigation measures in the environmental impact authorization are inadequate and challenge findings that the activities of the terminal are consistent with regional development guidelines.
Additionally, in AugustIn 2018, a claimant2 related claimants filed a challengeseparate challenges in the federal district court in Ensenada, Baja California in relation to the environmental and social impact permits issued by each of Agencia de Seguridad, Energía y Ambiente (ASEA) and SENER to ECA in September 2017 and December 2017, respectively, to allowLNG JV authorizing natural gas liquefaction activities at the ECA LNG terminal. TheRegasification facility. In the first case, the court issued a provisional injunction onin September 28, 2018 and maintained that provisional injunction at an April 11, 2019 hearing.2018. In December 2018, the relevant Mexican regulatorsASEA approved modifications to the environmental permit that facilitate the development of the proposed natural gas liquefaction facility at the ECA LNG terminal in two phases. OnIn May 17, 2019, the court canceled the provisional injunction. The claimant has appealed the court’s decision. That appeal anddecision canceling the injunction, but was not successful. The claimant’s underlying challenge to the permits remainremains pending.
Cases involving two parcels of real property have been filed against ECA. In onethe second case, filedthe initial request for a provisional injunction was denied. That decision was reversed on appeal in January 2020, resulting in the federal Agrarian Courtissuance of a new injunction against the same environmental and social impact permits that were already issued by ASEA and SENER. This injunction has uncertain application absent clarification by the court. The reversal and issuance of the injunction in 2006, the plaintiffs seek to annulsecond case is under further appeal.
In September 2020, parties claiming a property interest in the recorded property title for a parcelland on which the ECA LNG terminalRegasification facility is situated and the proposed ECA LNG liquefaction facility is anticipated to obtain possessionbe situated filed an administrative proceeding with the Municipality of Ensenada against the construction permit for the construction of the proposed liquefaction export projects at the ECA LNG Regasification facility. The construction permit has been suspended pending resolution of the claim and the ECA LNG Regasification facility and ECA LNG JV are contesting the validity of the claim.
In May 2020, the two third-party capacity customers at the ECA LNG Regasification facility, Shell Mexico and Gazprom, asserted that a different parcel that allegedly sits2019 update of the general terms and conditions for service at the facility, as approved by the CRE, resulted in a breach of contract by IEnova and a force majeure event. Citing these circumstances, the customers subsequently stopped making payments of amounts due under their respective LNG storage and regasification agreements. IEnova has rejected the customers’ assertions and has drawn (and expects to continue to draw) on the customers’ letters of credit provided as payment security. The parties engaged in discussions under the applicable contractual dispute resolution procedures without coming to a mutually acceptable resolution. In July 2020, Shell Mexico submitted a request for arbitration of the dispute. IEnova will avail itself of its available claims, defenses and remedies in the same place. Another civil complaint filedarbitration proceeding. Gazprom has since replenished the amounts drawn on its letter of credit and has resumed making regular monthly payments under its LNG storage and regasification agreement. In October 2020, IEnova was informed by Gazprom of its consent to join the arbitration proceeding initiated by Shell Mexico against the ECA LNG Regasification facility and is awaiting the formalization of Gazprom’s recognition as a claimant party in such arbitration. IEnova intends to enforce its rights in the state court was served in April 2012arbitration process, seeking to invalidatedismiss the contract by which ECA purchased anothercustomers’ claims. Shell Mexico also filed a constitutional challenge to the CRE’s approval of the terminal parcels, onupdate to the grounds the purchase pricegeneral terms and conditions. In October 2020, Shell Mexico’s request to stay CRE’s approval was unfair; the plaintiffdenied and, subsequently, Shell Mexico filed a second complaint in 2013 in the federal Agrarian Court seeking an orderappeal of that SEDATU issue title to her. In January 2016, the federal Agrarian Court ruled against the plaintiff, and the plaintiff appealed the ruling. In May 2018, the state court dismissed the civil complaint, and the plaintiff has appealed. IEnova expects further proceedingsdecision.
One or more unfavorable final decisions on these two matters.

Guaymas-El Oro Segment of the Sonora Pipeline.Pipeline
IEnova’s Sonora natural gas pipeline consists of two segments, the Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment, and the Guaymas-El Oro segment. Each segment has its own service agreement with the CFE. In 2015, the Yaqui tribe, with the exception of some members living in the Bácum community, granted its consent and a right-of-way easement agreement for the construction of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora natural gas pipeline that crosses its territory. Representatives of the Bácum community filed a legal challenge in Mexican federal court demanding the right to withhold consent for the project, the stoppage of work in the Yaqui territory and damages. In 2016, the judge granted a suspension order that prohibited the construction of such segment through the Bácum community territory. Because the pipeline does not pass through the Bácum community, IEnova did not believe the 2016 suspension order prohibited construction in the remainder of the Yaqui territory. Construction of the Guaymas-El Oro segment was completed, and commercial operations began in May 2017.
Following the start of commercial operations of the Guaymas-El Oro segment, IEnova reported damage to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline in the Yaqui territory that has made that section inoperable since August 23, 2017 and, as a result, IEnova declared a force majeure event. In 2017, an appellate court ruled that the scope of the 2016 suspension order encompassed
86


the wider Yaqui territory, which has prevented IEnova from making repairs to put the pipeline back in service. In July 2019, a federal district court ruled in favor of IEnova and held that the Yaqui tribe was properly consulted and that consent from the Yaqui tribe was properly received. Representatives of the Bácum community appealed this decision, causing the suspension order preventing IEnova from repairing the damage to the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline in the Yaqui territory to remain in place until the appeals process is exhausted.
IEnova exercised its rights under the contract, which included seeking force majeure payments for the two-year period such force majeure payments were required to be made, which ended onin August 22, 2019.
In July 2019, the CFE filed a request for arbitration generally to nullify certain contract terms that provide for fixed capacity payments in instances of force majeure and made a demand for substantial damages in connection with the force majeure event. In September 2019, the arbitration process ended when IEnova and the CFE reached an agreement to restart natural gas transportation service on the earlier of completion of repair of the damaged pipeline or January 15, 2020, and to modify the tariff structure and extend the term of the contract by 10 years. Subsequently, IEnova and the CFE agreed to extend the service start date to May 15, 2020 and then again to September 15, 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, the parties agreed to further extend the service start date to March 14, 2021. Under the revised agreement, the CFE will resume making payments only when the damaged section of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline is repaired. If the pipeline is not repaired


by January 15, 2020March 14, 2021 and the parties do not agree on a new service start date, IEnova retains the right to terminate the contract and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profits.
If IEnova is unable to make such repairs and resume operations in the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline within this time frame or if IEnova terminates the contract and is unable to obtain recovery, there may be a material adverse impact on Sempra Energy’s results of operations and cash flows and our ability to recover the carrying value of our investment. At September 30, 2020, the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline had a net book value of $446 million. The Sasabe-Puerto Libertad-Guaymas segment of the Sonora pipeline remains in full operation and is not impacted by these developments.
Regulatory Actions by the Mexican Government that Impact Renewable Energy Facilities
In April 2020, Mexico’s CENACE issued an order that it claims would safeguard Mexico’s national power grid from interruptions that may be caused by renewable energy projects. The main provision of the order suspends all legally mandated pre-operative testing that would be needed for new renewable energy projects to commence operations and prevents such projects from connecting to the national power grid until further notice. IEnova’s renewable energy projects affected by the order filed for legal protection through amparo claims (constitutional protection lawsuits) and, in June 2020, received injunctive relief until the claims are resolved by the courts.
In May 2020, Mexico’s SENER published a resolution to establish guidelines intended to guarantee the security and reliability of the national grid’s electricity supply by reducing the threat that it claims is caused by clean, intermittent energy. The resolution includes the following key elements:
Sur de Texas-Tuxpan Marine Pipeline. Sempra Mexico has a 40-percent interestprovides non-renewable electricity generation facilities, primarily non-renewable power plants, preferential access or easier access to Mexico’s national power grid, while increasing restrictions on access to the grid by renewable energy facilities;
grants the CRE and CENACE broad authority to approve or deny permits and interconnection requests by producers of renewable energy; and
imposes restrictive measures on the renewable energy sector, including requiring all permits and interconnection agreements to include an early termination clause in IMG, a JVthe event the renewable energy project fails to make certain additional improvements, at the request of the CRE or CENACE, in accordance with a subsidiary of TC Energy to build, ownspecific schedule.
IEnova’s renewable energy projects, including those in construction and operatein service, filed amparo claims against the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan natural gas marine pipelineSENER resolution in Mexico. The JV has an agreement to provide the CFE with natural gas transportation services under a 25-year agreement, denominatedJune 2020 and received injunctive relief in U.S. dollars. IMG previously received force majeure payments from the CFE from November 2018 through April 2019, after construction delays extended the commercial operation date.July 2020. In addition, in June 2019, the CFE2020, COFECE, Mexico’s antitrust regulator, filed a requestcomplaint with Mexico’s Supreme Court against the SENER resolution. COFECE’s complaint was upheld by the court and, pending the court’s final ruling, the decision suspends indefinitely the resolution.
In May 2020, the CRE approved an update to the transmission rates included in legacy renewables and cogeneration energy contracts, based on the claim that the legacy transmission rates did not reflect fair and proportional costs for arbitration generallyproviding the applicable services and, therefore, created inequitable competitive conditions. Three of IEnova’s renewables’ facilities are currently holders of contracts with such legacy rates, and any increases in the transmission rates would be passed through directly to nullify certain contract termstheir customers. IEnova filed amparo claims for its affected facilities and, in August 2020, was granted injunctive relief.
IEnova and other companies affected by these new orders and regulations have challenged the orders and regulations by filing amparo claims, some of which have been granted injunctive relief. The court-ordered injunctions provide relief until Mexico’s Federal District Court ultimately resolves the amparo claims or, with respect to the SENER resolution, until Mexico’s Supreme

Court issues its final ruling on COFECE’s complaint, the timing of which is uncertain. An unfavorable final decision on these amparo challenges, or the potential for an extended dispute, could impact our ability to successfully complete construction of our solar facilities, or to complete them in a timely manner and within expected budgets, may impact our ability to operate our wind and solar facilities already in service at existing levels or at all, and may adversely affect our ability to develop new projects, any of which may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows and our ability to recover the carrying values of our renewable energy investments in Mexico.
In October 2020, the CRE approved a resolution to amend the rules for the inclusion of new offtakers of legacy generation and self-supply permits (the Offtaker Resolution), which became effective immediately. The Offtaker Resolution prohibits self-supply permit holders from adding new offtakers that provide for fixed capacity paymentswere not included in instancesthe original development or expansion plans, making modifications to the amount of force majeureenergy allocated to the named offtakers, and madeincluding load centers that have entered into a demand for substantial damagessupply arrangement under Mexico’s Electricity Industry Law. Don Diego Solar and Border Solar (two of IEnova’s projects currently in connection with the force majeure event. In September 2019, the JVconstruction) and the CFE amendedVentika wind power generation facilities are holders of legacy self-supply permits and are impacted by the gas transportation services agreementOfftaker Resolution. If IEnova is not able to modifyobtain legal protection for these impacted facilities, IEnova expects it will sell capacity affected by the tariff structure and extendOfftaker Resolution into the term ofspot market. Currently, prices in the contract by 10 years, which endedspot market are significantly lower than the arbitration process.

Other Litigation
RBS Sempra Commodities
Sempra Energy holds an NCIequity method investment in RBS Sempra Commodities, a limited liability partnership in the process of being liquidated. RBS, now NatWest Markets plc, formerly RBS, our partner in the JV, paid an assessment of £86 million (approximately $138 million in U.S. dollars) in October 2014 to HMRC for denied VAT refund claims filed in connection with the purchase of carbon credit allowances by RBS SEE, a subsidiary of RBS Sempra Commodities. RBS SEE has since been sold to JPJ.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and later to Mercuria Energy Group, Ltd. HMRC asserted that RBS was not entitled to reduce its VAT liability by VAT paid on certain carbon credit purchases during 2009 because RBS knew or should have known that certain vendors in the trading chain did not remit their own VAT to HMRC. After paying the assessment, RBS filed a Notice of Appeal of the assessment with the First-Tier Tribunal. Trial on the matter, has beenwhich could include the assessment of a penalty of up to 100% of the claimed amount, is scheduled between November 2, 2020 and December 11, 2020.to begin in June 2021.
In 2015, liquidators filed a claim in the High Court of Justice against RBS and Mercuria Energy Europe Trading Limited (the Defendants) on behalf of 10 companies (the Liquidating Companies) that engaged in carbon credit trading via chains that included a company that traded directly with RBS SEE. The claim alleges that the Defendants’ participation in the purchase and sale of carbon credits resulted in the Liquidating Companies’ carbon credit trading transactions creating a VAT liability they were unable to pay, and that the Defendants are liable to provide for equitable compensation due to dishonest assistance and for compensation under the U.K. Insolvency Act of 1986.

Asbestos Claims Against EFH Subsidiaries
Certain EFH subsidiaries that we acquired as part of the Mergermerger of EFH with an indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy are defendants in personal injury lawsuits brought in state courts throughout the U.S. As of October 28, 2019, 103November 2, 2020, 275 such lawsuits are pending and 1,608with 182 such lawsuits havehaving been filed but not served. These cases allege illness or death as a result of exposure to asbestos in power plants designed and/or built by companies whose assets were purchased by predecessor entities to the EFH subsidiaries, and generally assert claims for product defects, negligence, strict liability and wrongful death. They seek compensatory and punitive damages. Additionally, in connection with the EFH bankruptcy proceeding, approximately 28,000 proofs of claim were filed on behalf of persons who allege exposure to asbestos under similar circumstances and assert the right to file such lawsuits in the future. We anticipate additional lawsuits will be filed. None of these claims or lawsuits were discharged in the EFH bankruptcy proceeding. The costs to defend or resolve these lawsuits and the amount of damages that may be imposed or incurred could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

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



LEASES
We discuss leases further in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
A lease exists when a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception of the contract.
Some of our lease agreements contain nonlease components, which represent activities that transfer a separate good or service to the lessee. As the lessee for both operating and finance leases, we have elected to combine lease components and nonlease components for all existing classes of underlying assets as a single lease component for real estate, fleet vehicles, power generating facilities, and pipelines, whereby fixed or in-substance fixed payments allocable to the nonlease component are accounted for as part of the related lease liability and ROU asset. As the lessor, we have elected to combine lease and nonlease components as a single lease component for real estate and power generating facilities if the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease components and nonlease components are the same and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately, we combine the lease components and nonlease components.separately.
Lessee Accounting
We have operating and finance leases for real and personal property (including office space, land, fleet vehicles, machinery and equipment, warehouses and other operational facilities) and finance leases for PPAs with renewable energy and peaker plant facilities.
Some of our leases include options to extend the lease termsWe provide supplemental noncash information for up to 25 years, while others include options to terminate the lease within one year. Our lease liabilities and ROU assets are based on lease terms that may include such options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option.
Certain of our contracts are short-term leases, which have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease commencement. We do not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset arising from short-term leases for all existing classes of underlying assets. In such cases, we recognize short-term lease costs on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our short-term lease costs for the period reasonably reflect our short-term lease commitments.
Certain of our leases contain escalation clauses requiring annual increases in rent ranging from 2 percent to 5 percent or based on the Consumer Price Index. The rentals payable under these leases may increase by a fixed amount each year or by a percentage of a base year. Variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate are included in the initial measurement of our lease liability and ROU asset based on the index or rate at lease commencement and are not remeasured because of changes to the index or rate. Rather, changes to the index or rate are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
Similarly, PPAs for the purchase of renewable energy at SDG&E require lease payments based on a stated rate per MWh produced by the facilities, and we are required to purchase substantially all the output from the facilities. SDG&E is required to pay additional amounts for capacity charges and actual purchases of energy that exceed the minimum energy commitments. Under these contracts, we do not recognize a lease liability or ROU asset for leases for which there are no fixed lease payments. Rather, these variable lease payments are recognized separately as variable lease costs.
As of the lease commencement date, we recognize a lease liability for our obligation to make future lease payments, which we initially measure at present value using our incremental borrowing rate at the date of lease commencement, unless the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable. We determine our incremental borrowing rate based on the rate of interest that we would have to pay to borrow, on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. We also record a ROU asset for our right to use the underlying asset, which is initially equal to the lease liability and adjusted for lease payments made at or before lease commencement, lease incentives, and any initial direct costs. Like other long-lived assets, we test ROU assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances have occurred that may affect the recoverability or the estimated useful lives of the ROU assets.
For our operating leases, our non-regulated entities recognize a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term in operating expenses. The California Utilities recognize this single lease cost on a basis that is consistent with the recovery of such costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations.
For our finance leases, the interest expense on the lease liability and amortization of the ROU asset are accounted for separately. Our non-regulated entities use the effective interest rate method to account for the imputed interest on the lease liability and amortize the ROU asset on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The California Utilities recognize amortization of the ROU asset on a basis that is consistent with the recovery of such costs in accordance with U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations.
Our leases do not contain any material residual value guarantees, restrictions or covenants.


Classification of ROU assets and lease liabilities and the weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate associated with operating and finance leases are summarized in the table below.

Leases that Have Not Yet Commenced
SDG&E has PPAs for 3 battery storage facilities that are currently under construction. When construction is complete and delivery of contracted power commences, which is scheduled to occur in 2019 through 2021, we will account for the PPAs as finance leases. The future minimum lease payments are expected to be $1 million per year in 2020 through 2023 and $18 million thereafter. These PPAs expire at various dates from 2031 through 2039.
SDG&E and SoCalGas have lease agreements for future acquisitions of fleet vehicles with an aggregate maximum lease limit of $180 million. SDG&E and SoCalGas have utilized $53 million and $74 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2019.

Lessor Accounting
Sempra Mexico is a lessor for certain of its natural gas and ethane pipelines, compressor stations and LPG storage facilities. These operating leases expire at various dates from 2021 through 2039.


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

OTHER CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS
We discuss below significant changes in the first nine months of 20192020 to contractual commitments discussed in Notes 1 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
Natural Gas Contracts
SoCalGas’ minimum purchase obligations for natural gas have increased by $54 million since December 31, 2019 primarily due to new purchase obligations entered into in the first nine months of 2020. Net future payments are expected to increase by $11 million in 2020, $43 million in 2021 and decrease by negligible amounts thereafter compared to December 31, 2019.
SoCalGas’ interstate pipeline capacity agreement commitments have increased by $597 million since December 31, 2019 primarily due to new capacity agreements entered into in the first nine months of 2020, which replace existing or expiring agreements. Net future payments are expected to decrease by $90 million in 2020, and increase by $17 million in 2021, $88 million in 2022, $100 million in 2023, $90 million in 2024 and $392 million thereafter compared to December 31, 2019.
Sempra LNG’s natural gas contracts and natural gas storage and transportation commitments have increased by $567 million since December 31, 2019, primarily from entering into new storage and transportation contracts in the first nine months of 2020. We expect future payments to decrease by $44 million in 2020, and increase by $73 million in 2021, $38 million in 2022, $34 million in 2023, $30 million in 2024 and $436 million thereafter compared to December 31, 2019.
LNG Purchase Agreement
Sempra LNG has a sale and purchase agreement for the supply of LNG to the ECA terminal.LNG Regasification facility. The commitment amount is calculated using a predetermined formula based on estimated forward prices of the index applicable from 20192020 to 2029. At September 30, 2019, we expect the commitment amount to decrease by $281 million in 2019, $9 million in 2020, $16 million in 2021, $8 million in 2022, $1 million in 2023 and $24 million thereafter (through contract termination in 2029) compared to December 31, 2018, reflecting changes in estimated forward prices since December 31, 2018 and actual transactions for the first nine months of 2019. These LNG commitment amounts are based on the assumption that all LNG cargoes, less those already confirmed to be diverted, under the agreement are delivered. Although this agreement specifies a number of cargoes to be delivered, under its terms, the customer may divert certain cargoes, which would reduce amounts paid under the agreement by Sempra LNG. At September 30, 2020, we expect the commitment amount to decrease by $238 million in 2020, increase by $94 million in 2021, increase by $40 million in 2022, increase by $7 million in 2023, decrease by $12 million in 2024 and decrease by $56 million thereafter (through contract termination in 2029) compared to December 31, 2019, reflecting changes in estimated forward prices since December 31, 2019 and actual transactions for the first nine months of 2020. These LNG commitment amounts are based on the assumption that all LNG cargoes, less those already confirmed to be diverted, under the agreement are delivered. Actual LNG purchases in the current and prior years have been significantly lower than the maximum amount provided under the agreement due to the customer electing to divert cargoes as allowed by the agreement.

Purchased-Power Contracts
SDG&E’s commitments under purchased-power contracts increased by $372 million since December 31, 2018, primarily due to $262 million from the resource adequacy capacity agreement that SDG&E entered into with OMEC LLC, which we discuss in “Variable Interest Entities – SDG&E – Otay Mesa VIE” in Note 1. Net future payments are expected to increase by $13 million in 2019, $45 million in 2020, $52 million in 2021, $69 million in 2022, $74 million in 2023, and $119 million thereafter compared to December 31, 2018.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
We maintain credit policies and systems designed to manage our overall credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition and an assignment of credit limits. These credit limits are established based on risk and return considerations under terms customarily available in the industry. We grant credit to utility customers and counterparties, substantially all of whom are located in our service territory, which covers most of Southern California and a portion of central California for SoCalGas, and all of San Diego County and an adjacent portion of Orange County for SDG&E. Sempra Mexico also grants credit to its utility customers and counterparties in Mexico.
Projects and businesses owned or partially owned by Sempra Energy place significant reliance on the ability of their suppliers, customers and partners to perform on long-term agreements and on our ability to enforce contract terms in the event of nonperformance. We consider many factors, including the negotiation of supplier and customer agreements, when we evaluate and approve development projects and investment opportunities.


NOTE 12. SEGMENT INFORMATION
At September 30, 2019, we hadWe have 5 separately managed reportable segments, as follows:
SDG&E provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County.
SoCalGas is a natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.
Sempra Texas Utilities holds our investment in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25% interest in Oncor, a regulated electric transmission and distribution utility serving customers in the north-central, eastern, and western and panhandle regions of Texas; and our indirect, 50% interest in Sharyland Holdings, which owns Sharyland Utilities L.L.C., a regulated electric transmission and distribution utility serving customers near the Texas-Mexico border. As we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, we acquired our investment in Sharyland Holdings in May 2019.
provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County.
SoCalGas is a natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.
Sempra Texas Utilities holds our investment in Oncor Holdings, which owns an 80.25-percent interest in Oncor, a regulated electric transmission and distribution utility serving customers primarily in the north-central, eastern, western and panhandle regions of Texas, and our indirect, 50-percent interest in Sharyland Holdings, which owns a regulated electric transmission and distribution utility serving customers near the Texas-Mexico border. As we discuss in Note 5, we acquired an indirect, 50-percent interest in Sharyland Holdings in May 2019.
Sempra Mexico develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, natural gas, electric, LNG, LPG, ethane and liquid fuels infrastructure, and has marketing operations for the purchase of LNG and the purchase and sale of natural gas in Mexico.
Sempra LNG (previously known as Sempra LNG & Midstream) develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, terminals for the import and export of LNG and sale of natural gas in Mexico.
Sempra LNG develops projects for the export of LNG, holds an interest in a facility for the export of LNG, owns and operates natural gas pipelines, and buys, sells and transports natural gas through its marketing operations, all within the U.S. and Mexico. In February 2019, we completed the sale of our natural gas storage assets at Mississippi Hub and Bay Gas.
In December 2018, Sempra Renewables completed the sale of all its operating solarour natural gas storage assets solarat Mississippi Hub and battery storage development projects and one wind generation facility. Bay Gas.
In April 2019, Sempra Renewables completed the sale of its remaining wind assets and investments. Upon completion of this sale, remaining nominal business activities at Sempra Renewables were subsumed into Parent and other and the Sempra Renewables segment ceased to exist. The tables below include amounts from Sempra Renewables up until the cessation of the segment.
As we discuss in Note 5, the financial information related to our businesses that constituted the Sempra South American Utilities segment has been reclassified tois presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The information in the tables below excludes amounts from discontinued operations unless otherwise noted.


We completed the sales of our discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2020.
We evaluate each segment’s performance based on its contribution to Sempra Energy’s reported earnings and cash flows. The California Utilities operate in essentially separate service territories, under separate regulatory frameworks and rate structures set by the CPUC. The California Utilities’ operations are based on rates set by the CPUC and the FERC. We describe the accounting policies of all of our segments in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
The cost of common services shared by the business segments is assigned directly or allocated based on various cost factors, depending on the nature of the service provided. Interest income and expense is recorded on intercompany loans. The loan balances and related interest are eliminated in consolidation.
The following tables show selected information by segment from our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts labeled as “All other” in the following tables consist primarily of activities of parent organizations and include certain nominal amounts from our South American businesses that did not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations.

OnIn January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses, which were previously included in our Sempra South American Utilities segment. We completed the sales in the second quarter of 2020. Our South American businesses and certain activities associated with those businesses have been reclassified toare presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Nominal activities that are not classified as discontinued operations have been subsumed into Parent and other. Our discussions below exclude discontinued operations, unless otherwise noted.

Discontinued operations also include activities, mainly income taxes related to the South American businesses, that were previously included in the holding company of the South American businesses at Parent and other.
The increaseAs we discuss in earningsNote 5 of $202the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we completed the sales of our South American businesses in the second quarter of 2020. On April 24, 2020, we sold our equity interests in our Peruvian businesses, including our 83.6% interest in Luz del Sur and its interest in Tecsur, for cash proceeds of $3,549 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments, and on June 24, 2020, we sold our equity interests in our Chilean businesses, including our 100% interest in Chilquinta Energía and Tecnored and our 50% interest in Eletrans, for cash proceeds of $2,216 million, net of transaction costs and as adjusted for post-closing adjustments.
Losses of $7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to earnings of $248 million for the same period in 2019 from our discontinued operations was primarily due to:
$192 million income tax benefit in 2019 associated with outside basis differences in our South American businesses primarily related to a change in the anticipated structure of the sale of those businesses; and
$25 million higher earnings from South American operations mainly from higher rates, lower cost of purchased power at Peru, and including $11 million lower depreciation expense due to assets classified as held for sale; offset by
$12 million income tax expense related to the increase in outside basis differences from 2019 earnings.
$192 million income tax benefit in 2019 associated with outside basis in our South American businesses primarily related to a change in the anticipated structure of the sale of those businesses;
$80 million lower operational earnings mainly as a result of the sales of our Peruvian businesses in April 2020 and Chilean businesses in June 2020;and
$7 million reduction to the gain on sale of our Chilean businesses as a result of post-closing adjustments; offset by
$12 million income tax expense in 2019 related to changes in outside basis differences from earnings since January 25, 2019.
The increase in earnings from our discontinued operations of $152$1,573 million in the first nine months of 20192020 was primarily due to:
$1,499 million gain on the sale of our Peruvian businesses;
$89 million income tax benefit in 2019 from outside basis differences in our South American businesses primarily related to the change in our indefinite reinvestment assertion from our decision on January 25, 2019 to hold those businesses for sale and a change in the anticipated structure of the sale;
$76 million higher earnings from South American operations mainly from higher rates, lower cost of purchased power at Peru, and including $27 million lower depreciation expense due to assets classified as held for sale; and

$248 million gain on the sale of our Chilean businesses; and

$16 million income tax expense in 2018 to adjust TCJA provisional amounts recorded in 2017 primarily related to withholding tax on our expected future repatriation of foreign undistributed earnings; offset by
$32 million income tax expense related to the increase$7 million income tax benefit in 2020 compared to $32 million income tax expense in 2019 related to changes in outside basis differences from 2019 earnings since January 25, 2019.
ADJUSTED EARNINGS AND ADJUSTED EPS
We prepare the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. However, management may use earnings and diluted EPS adjusted to exclude certain items (referred toforeign currency effects since January 25, 2019; offset by
$134 million lower operational earnings mainly as Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS) internally for financial planning, for analysis of performance and for reporting of results to the board of directors. We may also use Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS when communicating our financial results and earnings outlook to analysts and investors. Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. Becausea result of the significance and/or naturesales of our Peruvian and Chilean businesses; and
$89 million income tax benefit in 2019 related to outside basis differences existing as of the excluded items, management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide a meaningful comparisonJanuary 25, 2019 approval of the performance of business operationsour plan to prior and future periods. Non-GAAP financial measures are supplementary information that should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.sell our South American businesses.
For each period in which a non-GAAP financial measure is used, we provide in the table below a reconciliation of Sempra Energy Adjusted Earnings, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding – Adjusted to GAAP Earnings, GAAP Diluted EPS and Weighted-Average Common Shares Outstanding – GAAP, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

In the three months ended September 30, 2019, the assumed conversion of the series A preferred stock is dilutive for GAAP Earnings, however, it is antidilutive for the lower Adjusted Earnings. As such, the series A preferred stock dividends have been subtracted from the numerator and the series A preferred stock shares have been subtracted from the denominator when calculating Adjusted EPS.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN REVENUES, COSTS AND EARNINGS
This section contains a discussion of the differences between periods in the specific line items of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas.
Utilities Revenues and Cost of Sales
Our utilities revenues include natural gas revenues at our California Utilities and Sempra Mexico’s Ecogas and electric revenues at SDG&E. Intercompany revenues included in the separate revenues of each utility are eliminated in the Sempra Energy Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
SoCalGas and SDG&E currently operate under a regulatory framework that:that permits:
permits the cost of natural gas purchased for core customers (primarily residential and small commercial and industrial customers) to be passed through to customers in rates substantially as incurred. However, SoCalGas’ GCIM provides SoCalGas the opportunity to share in the savings and/or costs from buying natural gas for its core customers at prices below or above monthly market-based benchmarks. This mechanism permits full recovery of costs incurred when average purchase costs are within a price range around the benchmark price. Any higher costs incurred or savings realized outside this range are shared between the core customers and SoCalGas. We provide further discussion in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in “Item 1. Business – Ratemaking Mechanisms” in the Annual Report.
permits SDG&E to recover the actual cost incurred to generate or procure electricity based on annual estimates of the cost of electricity supplied to customers. The differences in cost between estimates and actual are recovered or refunded in subsequent periods through rates.
permits the California Utilities to recover certain expenses for programs authorized by the CPUC, or “refundable programs.”
The cost of natural gas purchased for core customers (primarily residential and small commercial and industrial customers) to be passed through to customers in rates substantially as incurred. However, SoCalGas’ Gas Cost Incentive Mechanism provides SoCalGas the opportunity to share in the savings and/or costs from buying natural gas for its core customers at prices below or above monthly market-based benchmarks. This mechanism permits full recovery of costs incurred when average purchase costs are within a price range around the benchmark price. Any higher costs incurred or savings realized outside this range are shared between the core customers and SoCalGas. We provide further discussion in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in “Part I – Item 1. Business – Ratemaking Mechanisms” in the Annual Report.
SDG&E to recover the actual cost incurred to generate or procure electricity based on annual estimates of the cost of electricity supplied to customers. The differences in cost between estimates and actual are recovered or refunded in subsequent periods through rates.
The California Utilities to recover certain program expenditures and other costs authorized by the CPUC, or “refundable programs.”
98


Because changes in SoCalGas’ and SDG&E’s cost of natural gas and/or electricity are substantially recovered in rates, changes in


these costs are offset in the changes in revenues, and therefore do not impact earnings. In addition to the changes in cost or market prices, natural gas or electric revenues recorded during a period are impacted by customer billing cycles causing a difference between customer billings and recorded or authorized costs. These differences are required to be balanced over time, resulting in over- and undercollected regulatory balancing accounts. We discuss balancing accounts and their effects further in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements hereinin this report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
The California Utilities’ revenues are decoupled from, or not tied to, actual sales volumes. SoCalGas recognizes annual authorized revenue for core natural gas customers using seasonal factors established in the Triennial Cost Allocation Proceeding. Accordingly, a significant portion of SoCalGas’ annual earnings are recognized in the first and fourth quarters of each year. SDG&E’s authorized revenue recognition is also impacted by seasonal factors, resulting in higher earnings in the third quarter when electric loads are typically higher than in the other three quarters of the year. We discuss this decoupling mechanism and its effects further in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

$37 million higher earnings attributable to NCI at Sempra Mexico.
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Dividends


In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, mandatory convertible preferred stock dividends increased by $18 million to $107$201 million, primarily due to dividends associated withan increase in earnings attributable to NCI at Sempra Mexico mainly from foreign currency effects as a result of fluctuation of the Mexico peso, offset by a decrease due to the sales of our series B preferred stock, which were issuedPeruvian businesses in July 2018.April 2020 and Chilean businesses in June 2020.

IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATES ON RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Because operations in South America and our natural gas distribution utility in Mexico uses itsuse their local currency as itstheir functional currency, revenues and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates for the period for consolidation in Sempra Energy Consolidated’sEnergy’s results of operations. We discuss further the impact of foreign currency and inflation rates on results of operations, including impacts on income taxes and related hedging activity, in “Item“Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in the Annual Report.

Foreign Currency Translation
Any difference in average exchange rates used for the translation of income statement activity from year to year can cause a variance in Sempra Energy’s comparative results of operations. In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 compared to the prior-year periods, the changeschange in our earnings as a result of foreign currency translation werewas not material.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
OVERVIEW
Sempra Energy Consolidated
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a pandemic. President Donald Trump officially declared a national emergency on March 13, 2020, and the Mexican government announced a national state of sanitary emergency on March 30, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on the economy and people’s livelihoods, including substantial volatility in financial markets and a historic surge in unemployment claims, and has resulted in sweeping action by governments and other authorities to help address these effects. For example:
The CPUC required that all energy companies under its jurisdiction, including the California Utilities, take action to implement several emergency customer protection measures to support California customers. The measures apply to all residential and small business customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and include suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment, waiving late payment fees, and offering flexible payment plans for all customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. The CPUC approved a resolution authorizing each of the California Utilities to establish a CPPMA to track and request recovery of incremental costs associated with complying with residential and small business customer protection measures implemented by the CPUC related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including costs associated with suspending service disconnections and uncollectible expenses that arise from these customers’ failure to pay. Although we are tracking these costs in various regulatory mechanisms, recovery is not assured. The continuation of these circumstances could result in a further reduction in payments received from the California Utilities’ customers and a further increase in uncollectible accounts, which could become material, and any inability to recover these costs could have a material adverse effect on the cash flows,
107


financial condition and results of operations of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas. We discuss regulatory mechanisms in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In Texas, the PUCT issued orders creating the COVID-19 Electricity Relief Program and suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment for customers enrolled in the program through September 30, 2020. The COVID-19 Electricity Relief Program created a fund through which transmission and distribution utilities and retail electric providers in Texas may seek to recover certain costs (including transmission and distribution utility electricity delivery charges) of providing uninterrupted services to customers facing financial hardship due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Financial assistance under the program was available to enrolled residential customers for electricity bills issued on or after March 26, 2020 through September 30, 2020. The PUCT has also authorized the use of a regulatory asset accounting mechanism and a subsequent process through which regulated utility companies may seek future recovery of other expenses resulting from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Rate regulation is premised on the full recovery of prudently incurred costs. The regulatory assets established with respect to COVID-19 pandemic costs are subject to PUCT review for reasonableness and possible disallowance. Any inability to recover these costs could have an adverse effect on the cash flows, financial condition and results of operations of Sempra Energy.
On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted and signed into law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Among other things, the CARES Act contains significant business tax provisions, including a delay of payment of employer payroll taxes and an acceleration of refunds of corporate alternative minimum tax (AMT) credits. Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas expect to benefit from deferring payment of the employer’s share of payroll taxes through the end of 2020, with half of such taxes to be paid by the end of 2021 and the other half to be paid by the end of 2022. Sempra Energy has filed a refund claim for its corporate AMT credits and expects to receive approximately $56 million in 2020 rather than in installments through 2021.
Our businesses that invest in, develop and operate energy infrastructure and provide electric and gas services to customers have been identified as critical or essential services in the U.S. and Mexico and have continued to operate throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As our businesses continue to operate, our priority is the safety of our employees, customers, partners and the communities we serve. We and other companies, including our partners, are taking steps to try to protect the health and well-being of our employees and other stakeholders. For example, we have activated our business continuity plans and continue to work closely with local, state and federal authorities to provide essential services with minimum interruption to customers and in accordance with applicable shelter-in-place and other orders. We have implemented precautionary measures across our businesses, including requiring employees to work remotely when possible, restricting non-essential business travel, increasing facility sanitization and communicating proper health and safety protocols to employees. We also have engaged an infectious disease expert to advise us during this public health crisis. Through the end of the third quarter of 2020, these actions have not required significant outlays of capital and have not had a material impact on our results of operations, but these or other measures that we may implement in the future could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, cash flows, financial position and results of operations if circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic worsen or continue for an extended period of time.
The COVID-19 pandemic and its widespread effects also have impacted our capital plans, including a slowdown of certain of our capital spending, liquidity and asset values, as we discuss with respect to each of our segments below. We perform recovery testing of our recorded asset values when market conditions indicate that such values may not be recoverable. Given the current environment (including the decline in the price of our common stock, financial market volatility, record-high unemployment rates, potential reduction in customer collections, inability to secure permits and other authorizations due to government closures, and governments pursuing new laws or policies that modify pre-existing contract terms or alter operations), we considered whether these events or changes in circumstances triggered the need for an interim impairment analysis for our long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill. We determined that, given the nominal impact on our cash flows, assessment of the impact of these conditions on our businesses and existing headroom in our prior quantitative tests for goodwill, there was no triggering event in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. However, as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to evolve, we will continue to periodically assess the need to perform an interim impairment test and, consistent with prior years, plan to perform our annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, 2020. To the extent the results of any such impairment test reveal that the recorded (carrying) value is in excess of the fair value, we would record an impairment charge in the period of such test. A significant impairment charge related to our long-lived assets, intangible assets or goodwill would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which it is recorded.
For a further discussion of risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic, see below in “Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

Liquidity
We expect to meet our cash requirements through cash flows from operations, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from recent and planned asset sales, borrowings under our credit facilities, distributions from our equity method investments, issuances of debt, and equity securities (including through the physical settlement of forward sales agreements), project financing and other equity sales, including partnering in JVs.
Our lines of credit provide liquidity and support commercial paper. As we discuss in Note 7 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Sempra Energy, Sempra Global, SDG&E and SoCalGas each have five-year credit agreements expiring in 2024. These credit agreements replaced the credit agreements that were set to expire in 2020. The table


below shows the amount of available funds at September 30, 2019, including available unused credit on these primary U.S. credit facilities. In addition, IEnova has $1.88 billion in lines of credit, with approximately $742 million available unused credit at September 30, 2019.

We believe that these available funds,cash flow sources, combined with cash flows from operations, proceeds from recent and planned asset sales, distributions from our equity method investments, issuances of debt and equity securities (including through the physical settlement of forward sale agreements), project financing and other equity sales, including partnering in JVs,available funds, will be adequate to fund our current operations, including to:

Sempra Energy and the California Utilities currently have readyreasonable access to the long-term debt markets and are not currently constrained in their ability to borrow money at reasonable rates. rates from commercial banks, under existing revolving credit facilities or through public offerings registered with the SEC. However, the capital markets in general, including particularly the commercial paper markets, and the availability of financing from commercial banks have experienced distress due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and our ability to access the capital markets or obtain credit from commercial banks outside of our committed revolving credit facilities could become materially constrained if changing economic conditions and disruptions to the capital markets, due to the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, worsen or continue for an extended period. In addition, our financing activities and actions by credit rating agencies, as well as many other factors, could negatively affect the availability and cost of both short-term and long-term financing. Also, cash flows from operations may be impacted by the timing of commencement and completion, and potentially cost overruns, of large projects. If cash flows from operations were to be significantly reduced or we were unable to borrow under acceptable terms, we would likely first reduce or postpone discretionary capital expenditures (not related to safety) and investments in new businesses. We monitor our ability to finance the needs of our operating, investing and financing activities in a manner consistent with our intention to maintain our investment-grade credit ratings and capital structure.
We use short-term debt primarily to meet liquidity requirements, fund shareholder dividends, and temporarily finance capital expenditures, acquisitions or start-ups. Our corporate short-term, unsecured promissory notes, or commercial paper, were our primary sources of short-term debt funding in the first nine months of 2019. Our California Utilities use short-term debt primarily to meet working capital needs.
At September 30, 2019, Sempra Energy had a loan to an unconsolidated affiliate totaling $712 million and a loan from an unconsolidated affiliate totaling $39 million, which we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
We have significant investments in several trusts to provide for future payments of pensions and other postretirement benefits and nuclear decommissioning. Changes in asset values, which are dependent on the activity in the equity and fixed income markets, have not affected the trust funds’ abilities to make required payments. However, changes in asset values may, along with a number of other factors, such as changes to discount rates, assumed rates of return, mortality tables and regulations, may impact funding requirements for pension and other postretirement benefit plansbenefits plans. Funding requirements for SDG&E’s NDT could also be impacted by the timing and SDG&E’s NDT.amount of SONGS decommissioning costs. At the California Utilities, funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates.

Short-Term Borrowings
We use short-term debt primarily to meet liquidity requirements, fund shareholder dividends, and temporarily finance capital expenditures, acquisitions or start-ups. Our California Utilities use short-term debt primarily to meet working capital needs. Due to volatility in commercial paper markets shortly following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, commercial paper borrowing became less desirable and, in some cases, not competitive or unavailable. To secure sufficient sources of liquidity during this period, Sempra Energy, Sempra Global, SDG&E, SoCalGas and IEnova each drew amounts under their respective credit facilities and Sempra Energy and SDG&E each also obtained short-term term loans, much of which has been subsequently repaid. Revolving lines of credit, term loans and commercial paper were our primary sources of short-term debt funding in the Annual Report,first nine months of 2020.

Sempra Energy Series C Preferred Stock Offering
On June 19, 2020, we issued 900,000 shares of our series C preferred stock in a registered public offering at a price to the public of $1,000 per share and received net proceeds of $889 million after deducting the underwriting discount and equity issuance costs of $11 million. We have fully settled all shares underused the January 2018 forward sale agreements, asnet proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness. We provide additional discussion about this equity offering in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Sempra Energy Common Stock Repurchase Programs
As we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We expectStatements and below in “Part II – Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds,” on July 1, 2020, we entered into an ASR program under which we prepaid $500 million to settle the July 2018 forward sale agreements entirely by the physical delivery ofrepurchase shares of our common stock in exchange for cash proceeds. Asa share forward transaction. The program was completed on August 4, 2020 with an aggregate of November 1, 2019, based on the initial forward sale4,089,375 shares of Sempra Energy common stock repurchased at an average price of approximately $111.87$122.27 per share. We funded the $500 million share in July 2018, we expect that the net proceeds from full physical settlementrepurchase with a portion of the 9,750,000 shares underproceeds received from the July 2018 forward sale agreements would be approximately $1.1 billion (net of underwriting discounts, but before deducting equity issuance costs, and subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the forward sale agreements). If we were to elect cash settlement or net share settlement, the amount of cash proceeds we receive upon settlement could differ, perhaps substantially, or we may not receive any cash proceeds, or we may deliver cash (in an amount which could be significant) or shares of our common stock to the forward purchasers. We may settle the July 2018 forward sale agreements in one or more settlements no later than December 15, 2019, which is the final settlement date under the agreements.
Discontinued Operations
On January 25, 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses. As such, we have reclassified these businesses
Credit Ratings
We provide additional information about the credit ratings of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Part II – Item 2. MD&A – Capital Resources and Liquidity” in the Annual Report.
The credit ratings of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas remained at investment grade levels during the first nine months of 2020. On May 29, 2020, Moody’s downgraded SoCalGas’ senior unsecured credit rating to held for saleA2 with a stable outlook.

Our credit ratings may affect the rates at which borrowings bear interest in Luz del Sur and its indirect ownership interest in Tecsur, for an aggregate base purchase price of $3.59 billion, subject to customary closing adjustments for working capital and changes in net indebtedness. The sale is subject to various conditions to closing, including approvals from the Peruvian anti-trust authority and the Bermuda Monetary Authority. We expect the salecommitment fees on available unused credit. A downgrade of Sempra Energy’s or any of its subsidiaries’ credit ratings or rating outlooks may result in a requirement for collateral to closebe posted in the first quartercase of 2020.certain financing arrangements and may materially and adversely affect the market prices of their equity and debt securities, the rates at which borrowings are made and commercial paper is issued, and the various fees on their outstanding credit facilities. This could make it more costly for Sempra Energy, SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra Energy’s other subsidiaries to issue debt securities, to borrow under credit facilities and to raise certain other types of financing.
On October 12, 2019, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with State Grid International Development Limited to sell our equity interests in our Chilean businesses, including our 100-percent interest in Chilquinta Energía and Tecnored and our 50-percent interest in Eletrans, for an aggregate base purchase priceSempra Energy has agreed that, if the credit rating of $2.23 billionOncor’s senior secured debt by any of the three major rating agencies falls below BBB (or the equivalent), subject to customary adjustments for working capital and changes in net indebtednessOncor will suspend dividends and other adjustments. Chilquinta Energía also agreed to purchase the remaining 50-percent interest in Eletrans from Sociedad Austral de Electricidad S.A.distributions (except for contractual tax payments), contingent on the sale of our Chilean businesses to State Grid International Development Limited. This acquisition by Chilquinta Energía would result in State Grid International Development Limited acquiring100 percent of Eletrans, which we do not expect will have a significant economic impact on the sale of our Chilean businesses.

California Utilities
SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ operations have historically provided relatively stable earnings and liquidity. We intend to useTheir future performance and liquidity will depend primarily on the proceeds fromratemaking and regulatory process, environmental regulations, economic conditions, actions by the sales to focus on capital investmentCalifornia legislature and the changing energy marketplace, as well as the other matters described in North America to support additional growth opportunitiesthis report and strengthen our balance sheet by reducing debt. We expect the cash provided by earnings from our focused capital investment will exceed the absence of cash flows from these discontinued operations. However, there can be no assurance that we will derive these anticipated benefits. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to redeploy the capital that we obtain from such sales, if completed, in a way that would result in cash flows or earnings exceeding those historically generated by these businesses.Annual Report.
California Utilities
SDG&E and SoCalGas expect that the available unused credit from their credit facilities described above, cash flows from operations, and debt issuances will continue to be adequate to fund their respective current operations and planned capital expenditures. The California Utilities are continuing to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cash flows and results of operations. As we discuss below in “Item 3. QuantitativeSome customers are experiencing a diminished ability to pay their electric or gas bills, leading to slower payments and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk –Credit Ratings,”higher levels of nonpayment than has been the credit ratings of SDG&Ecase historically.

modifications to be posted and fees on outstanding credit facilities. our financing plans. The California Utilities manage their capital structure and pay dividends when appropriate and as approved by their respective boards of directors.
SDG&E declared common stock dividends of $250 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. SDG&E’s declared common stock dividends on an annual historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations, and could be impacted over the next few years in order for SDG&E to maintain its authorized capital structure while managing its capital investment program (approximately $1.7 billion in 2019).


SoCalGas declared common stock dividends of $150 million in the third quarter of 2019, which were paid on October 11, 2019, and declared and paid common stock dividends of $50 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. SoCalGas’ declared common stock dividends on an annual historical basis may not be indicative of future declarations, and could be impacted over the next few years in order for SoCalGas to maintain its authorized capital structure while managing its capital investment program (approximately $1.6 billion in 2019).
As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements hereinin this report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, changes in balancing accounts for significant costs at SDG&E and SoCalGas, particularly a change between over- and undercollected status, including commodity and transportation balancing accounts, may have a significant impact on cash flows. These changes generally represent the difference between when costs are incurred and when they are ultimately recovered in rates through billings to customers.
SoCalGasArrearage Management Payment Plan
Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
We provide informationIn June 2020, the CPUC issued a decision addressing service disconnections that, among other things, allows each of the California Utilities to establish a two-way balancing account to record the uncollectible expenses associated with residential customers’ inability to pay their electric or gas bills. This decision also directs the California Utilities to establish an AMP that provides successfully participating, income-qualified residential customers with relief from outstanding utility bill amounts. The California Utilities have recorded increases in their allowances for uncollectible accounts as of September 30, 2020 primarily related to expected forgiveness of outstanding bill amounts for customers eligible under the AMP. The AMP could result in a reduction in payments received from the California Utilities’ customers and further increase uncollectible accounts, which could become material, and any inability to recover these costs could have a material adverse effect on the natural gas leakcash flows, financial condition and results of operations of Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas.
Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan (PSEP)
In November 2018, SoCalGas and SDG&E filed a joint application with the CPUC for a reasonableness review of PSEP project costs totaling $941 million for 83 pipeline safety enhancement projects. SoCalGas and SDG&E subsequently entered into a settlement agreement for cost recovery of $935 million ($806 million for SoCalGas and $129 million for SDG&E). A final decision was approved in August 2020, granting the proposed settlement agreement as well as the amortization schedule for recovery of costs. The final decision was implemented in rates on October 1, 2020.

In 2019, SDG&E recorded a Wildfire Fund asset for committed shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund. We describe the Wildfire Legislation and related accounting treatment in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
SDG&E is exposed to the risk that the participating California electric IOUs may incur third-party wildfire claims for which they will seek recovery from the Wildfire Fund. In such a situation, SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record a charge against earnings in the period when there is a reduction of the available coverage due to recoverable claims from any of the participating IOUs. As a result, if any California electric IOU’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire, it could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra Energy’s financial condition and results of operations up to the carrying value of our Wildfire Fund asset, with additional potential material exposure if SDG&E’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire. In addition, the Wildfire Fund could be completely exhausted due to fires in the other California electric IOUs’ service territories, by fires in SDG&E’s service territory or by a combination thereof. In 2020, California has experienced some of the largest wildfires in its history (measured by acres burned), including fires in SDG&E’s service territory, and there can be no assurance that the equipment of a California electric IOU will not be determined to be a cause of one or more of these fires. In the event that the Wildfire Fund is materially diminished, exhausted or terminated, SDG&E will lose the protection afforded by the Wildfire Fund, and as a consequence, a fire in SDG&E’s service territory could cause a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
SoCalGas
SoCalGas’ future performance will depend on the resolution of legal, regulatory and other matters concerning the Leak at the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, which we discuss further in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein, in “Factors Influencing Future Performance” belowthis report and in “Item“Part 1 – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report. The

Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
From October 23, 2015 through February 11, 2016, SoCalGas experienced a natural gas leak from one of the injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility located in Los Angeles County. In February 2016, CalGEM confirmed that the well was permanently sealed.
Cost Estimates, Accounting Impact and Insurance.At September 30, 2020, SoCalGas estimates certain costs incurredrelated to remediate and stop the Leak and to mitigate local community impacts are significant and$1,440 million (the cost estimate). This cost estimate may increase significantly as more information becomes available. A substantial portion of the cost estimate has been paid, and $268 million is accrued as Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $7 million is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other as of September 30, 2020 on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Except for the amounts paid or estimated to settle certain actions, the cost estimate does not include all litigation or regulatory costs to the extent it is not possible to predict at this time the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the costs of defending againstto defend or resolve the related civil and criminal lawsuits and cooperating with related investigations, and anyactions or the amount of damages, restitution, andor civil, administrative andor criminal fines, sanctions, penalties or other costs or remedies that may be imposed or incurred. The cost estimate also does not include certain other costs incurred by Sempra Energy associated with defending against shareholder derivative lawsuits and other potential costs if awardedthat we currently do not anticipate incurring or imposed, as well asthat we cannot reasonably estimate. These costs of mitigatingnot included in the actual natural gas released,cost estimate could be significant and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
We have received insurance payments for many of the costs included in the cost estimate, including temporary relocation and associated processing costs, control-of-well expenses, costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak, certain legal costs and lost gas. We intend to pursue the full extent of our insurance coverage for the costs we have incurred. Other than directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, after taking into consideration the additional accrual related to litigation matters described in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we have exhausted all of our insurance in this matter, except as to certain defense costs we may incur in the future, including those related to the shareholder derivative lawsuits. We continue to pursue other sources of insurance coverage for costs related to this matter, but we may not covered bybe successful in obtaining additional insurance (includingrecovery for any of these costs. If we are not able to secure additional insurance recovery for all or a substantial portion of these costs, if any costs in excess of applicable policy limits),we have recorded as an insurance receivable are not collected, if there were to be significantare delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts, which could be significant, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Also, higher operating costs
As of September 30, 2020, we recorded the expected recovery of the cost estimate related to the Leak of $504 million as Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs on SoCalGas’ and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas asSempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is exclusive of insurance retentions and $775 million of insurance proceeds we received through September 30, 2020. If we were to conclude that this receivable or a resultportion of new laws, orders, rules and regulations arising outit is no longer probable of recovery from insurers, some or all of this incident or our responses theretoreceivable would be charged against earnings, which could be significant and may not be recoverable in customer rates, which may have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability.Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important for service reliability during peak demand periods, including peak electric generation needs in the summer and heating needs in the winter. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important element of SoCalGas’ delivery system. As a result of the Leak, SoCalGas suspended injection of natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility beginning in October 2015 and, following a comprehensive safety review and authorization by CalGEM and the CPUC’s Executive Director, resumed limited injection operations in July 2017.
During the suspension period, SoCalGas advised the California ISO, California Energy Commission, CPUC and Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration of its concerns that the inability to inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility posed a risk to energy reliability in Southern California. The CPUC has issued a series of directives to SoCalGas specifying the range of working gas to be maintained in the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility as well as protocols for the withdrawal of gas, to help ensure safe and reliable natural gas service, while helping to maintain stable energy prices in Southern California. Limited withdrawals of natural gas from the facility were made in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to augment natural gas supplies during critical demand periods.
In February 2017, the CPUC opened a proceeding pursuant to SB 380 to determine the feasibility of minimizing or eliminating the use of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility. If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed, or if future cash flows from its operation were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, it could result in an impairment of the facility and significantly higher than expected operating costs and/or additional capital expenditures, and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized. At September 30, 2020, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage
113


facility had a net book value of $788 million. Any significant impairment of this asset, or higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas that may not be recoverable in customer rates, could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Sempra Texas Utilities
Oncor’s business is capital intensive, and it relies on external financing as a significant source of liquidity for its capital requirements. In the past, Oncor has financed a substantial portion of its cash needs from operations and with proceeds from indebtedness. In the event that Oncor fails to meet its capital requirements, we may be required to make additional investments incapital contributions to Oncor, or if Oncor is unable to access sufficient capital to finance its ongoing needs, we may elect to make additional investments incapital contributions to Oncor (as our commitments to the PUCT prohibit us from making loans to Oncor) which could be substantial and which would reduce the cash available to us for other purposes, could increase our indebtedness and could ultimately materially adversely affect our results of operations, liquidity, financial condition and prospects. In that regard, our commitments
Oncor’s ability to pay dividends may be limited by factors such as its credit ratings, regulatory capital requirements, debt-to-equity ratio approved by the PUCT prohibit us from making loansand other restrictions. In addition, Oncor will not pay dividends if a majority of Oncor’s independent directors or any minority member director determines it is in the best interests of Oncor to Oncor. As a result, if Oncor requires additional financing and cannot obtain it from other sources, we may be requiredretain such amounts to make a capital contribution to Oncor.meet expected future requirements.
Sempra Mexico
Construction Projects and Related Regulatory Matters
Sempra Mexico is currently building or developing terminals for the receipt, storage, and delivery of liquid fuels in the new port of Veracruz and vicinity of Mexico City, Puebla, Topolobampo, Manzanillo, and Ensenada. Sempra Mexico is also constructing new solar facilities in Juárez, Chihuahua, and Benjamin Hill, Sonora, through which it intends to supply renewable energy to several private companies. We expect to fund these capital expenditures and investments, operations and dividends at IEnova with available funds, including credit facilities, and funds internally generated by the Sempra Mexico businesses, as well as funds from project financing, sales of securities, interim funding from the parent or affiliates, and partnering in JVs.
In October 2019, IEnova’s board We expect the projects to commence commercial operations on various dates in 2020 and 2021. However, expected commencement dates could be delayed by worsening or extended disruptions of directors declared dividendsproject construction or development caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Sempra Mexico is continuing to monitor the impacts of $73 million to minority shareholders payable in November 2019. IEnova paid $71 millionthe COVID-19 pandemic on cash flows and results of dividends to minority shareholders in the year ended December 31, 2018.
IEnova’s shareholders approved the formation of a fund for IEnova to repurchase its own shares for a maximum amount of $250 million. Repurchases shall not exceed IEnova’s total net profits, including retained earnings, as stated in their financial statements. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, IEnova repurchased 2,620,000 shares of its outstanding common stock held by NCI for approximately $10 million, resulting in an increase in Sempra Energy’s ownership interest in IEnova from 66.5 percent at December 31, 2018 to 66.6 percent at September 30, 2019.


Sempra Renewablesoperations. See “Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors” below.
As we discuss in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and below in “Factors Influencing Future Performance,” in April 2019, Sempra Renewables sold its remaining wind assets and investments for $569 million, net of transaction costs. The proceeds from the sale were used to pay down debt and redeploy capital to support the strategic growth of Sempra Energy in North America.
Sempra LNG
Sempra LNG, through its interest in Cameron LNG JV, is constructing a natural gas liquefaction export facility at the Cameron LNG JV terminal. The majority of the costs of the current three-train liquefaction project is project-financed, with most or all of the remainder of the capital requirements to be provided by the project partners, including Sempra Energy, through equity contributions under the project equity agreements. In August 2019, the first train of the three-train project commenced commercial operation under the tolling agreements. We expect that our remaining equity requirements to complete the project will be met by a combination of our share of cash generated from each liquefaction train as it comes on line and, if required, additional cash contributions. Sempra Energy guarantees 50.2 percent of Cameron LNG JV’s obligations under the financing agreements for a maximum amount of up to $3.9 billion. The guarantees will terminate upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including all three trains commencing commercial operation and meeting certain operational performance tests (Financial Completion). We anticipate that the guarantees will be terminated approximately nine months after all three trains commence commercial operation. However, if Financial Completion does not occur by September 30, 2021 (subject to extension by up to 365 days in case of force majeure) or if certain other events of default occur, a demand could be made under the guarantee for Sempra Energy’s 50.2 percent of Cameron LNG JV’s obligations under the financing agreements then due and payable. We discuss Cameron LNG JV and the JV financing further in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and in “Item 7. MD&A – Factors Influencing Future Performance” in the Annual Report. We also discuss Cameron LNG JV below in “Factors Influencing Future Performance.
We expect Sempra LNG to require funding for the development and expansion of its remaining portfolio of projects, which may be financed through a combination of operating cash flow, funding from the parent, project financing and partnering in JVs.

FACTORS INFLUENCING FUTURE PERFORMANCE
We discuss various factors that could influence our future performance below and in “Item 7. MD&A Factors Influencing Future Performance” in the Annual Report. We describe below significant developments to capital projects and any significant new capital projects in 2019. You should read the information below together with “Item 7. MD&A Factors Influencing Future Performance” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” contained in the Annual Report.


SEMPRA ENERGY
Capital Rotation
We regularly review our portfolio of assets with a view toward allocating capital to those businesses that we believe can further improve shareholder value. Following a comprehensive strategic review of our businesses and asset portfolio by our board of directors and management, in June 2018, we announced our intention to sell several energy infrastructure assets. We completed the sales of our U.S. solar assets in December 2018, our non-utility natural gas storage assets in February 2019 and our remaining U.S. wind assets in April 2019. In January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses based on our strategic shift to be geographically focused on North America. Our South American businesses and certain activities associated with those businesses have been presented as discontinued operations. We expect to complete these sales in the first quarter of 2020. We discuss these sales and discontinued operations further in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in Notes 5 and 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

In June 2019, the CPUC declined to approve SDG&E’s application and provided guidance on future solicitations and filings for energy storage resources.
Wildfire Legislation
Senate Bill 901
On September 21, 2018, the Governor of California signed into law SB 901, which includes a number of measures primarily intended to address certain wildfire risks relevant to consumers and utilities and guidelines for the CPUC to determine whether utilities acted reasonably in order to recover costs related to wildfires. Among other things, SB 901 also contains provisions for utility issuance of recovery bonds with respect to certain wildfire costs, subject to CPUC approval, wildfire mitigation plans, and creation of a commission to explore establishment of a fund and options for cost socialization with respect to catastrophic wildfires associated with utility infrastructure. SB 901 does not apply to the wildfires in SDG&E’s service territory in 2007.
SDG&E filed its proposed wildfire mitigation plan in February 2019, and the CPUC approved this plan in May 2019. The wildfire mitigation plan does not include cost recovery. Pursuant to SB 901, the CPUC authorized SDG&E to establish a memorandum account to track the costs incurred for fire risk mitigation. The costs recorded to the memorandum account shall be incremental to the utility’s authorized recovery and will be reviewed as part of the utility’s next GRC proceeding. The CPUC issued a decision in June 2019 providing guidance on the electric utility wildfire mitigation plans. The decision held that approval of a utility’s wildfire mitigation plan meant that it had met all the statutory requirements in SB 901. While SB 901 provides for cost recovery related to the wildfire mitigation plan in a utility’s GRC proceeding, plan approval does not determine whether SDG&E acted reasonably when seeking recovery of plan-related costs.
Assembly Bill 1054 and Assembly Bill 111
On July 12, 2019, the Governor of California signed into law AB 1054 and AB 111 (together, the Wildfire Legislation), which took effect immediately. The Wildfire Legislation addresses certain important issues related to catastrophic wildfires in the State


of California and their impact on electric IOUs. We describe the Wildfire Legislation and related accounting treatment in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Wildfire Legislationestablishes a fund (the Wildfire Fund) to provide liquidity to SDG&E, PG&E and Edison (each a California electric IOU) to pay IOU wildfire-related claims in the event that the governmental agency responsible for determining causation determines the applicable IOU’s equipment caused the ignition of a wildfire, the primary insurance coverage is exceeded and certain other conditions are satisfied. The primary purpose of the Wildfire Fund is to pool resources provided by shareholders and ratepayers of the IOUs and make those resources available to reimburse the IOUs for third-party wildfire claims incurred after July 12, 2019, the effective date of the Wildfire Legislation, subject to certain limitations.
SDG&E recorded a Wildfire Fund asset for committed shareholder contributions to the Wildfire Fund. SDG&E is exposed to the risk that any California IOU may incur third-party wildfire claims for which they will seek recovery from the Wildfire Fund. In such a situation, SDG&E may recognize a reduction of its Wildfire Fund asset and record a charge against earnings in the period when there is a reduction of the available coverage due to recoverable claims from the IOUs. As a result, if any California IOU’s equipment is determined to be a cause of a fire, it could have a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra Energy’s financial condition and results of operation up to the carrying value of our Wildfire Fund asset. In addition, the Wildfire Fund could be completely exhausted due to fires in the other California IOUs’ service territories, by fires in SDG&E’s service territory or by a combination thereof. In the event that the Wildfire Fund is materially diminished, exhausted or terminated, SDG&E will lose the protection afforded by the Wildfire Fund, and as a consequence, a fire in SDG&E’s service territory could cause a material adverse effect on SDG&E’s and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.

Aliso Canyon Natural Gas Storage Facility Gas Leak
In October 2015, SoCalGas discovered a leak at one of its injection-and-withdrawal wells, SS25, at its Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility located in Los Angeles County. SoCalGas worked closely with several of the world’s leading experts to stop the Leak. In February 2016, DOGGR confirmed that the well was permanently sealed.
See Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in the second quarter of 2020, certain Mexican governmental agencies issued orders and regulations that would reduce or limit the renewable energy sector’s participation in the country’s energy market. Those orders would, among other things, create barriers for discussions ofrenewable energy facilities to enter the following relatedwholesale electricity market, prevent renewable energy projects currently in construction from reaching operations and increase grid fees for legacy renewables and cogeneration energy contract holders. IEnova and other companies affected by such measures, certain non-governmental environmental organizations or advocacy groups, and COFECE, Mexico’s antitrust regulator, have filed legal complaints with the respective Mexican courts to prevent such measures from going into effect. In most cases, the courts have sided with the complainants and such measures have been stayed temporarily. The court-ordered injunctions provide relief until Mexico’s Federal District Court ultimately resolves the amparo claims (constitutional protection lawsuits) or, with respect to the Leak:

In addition, the costs of defending against civil and criminal lawsuits, cooperating with investigations, and any damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, penalties and other costs, if awarded or imposed, as well as the costs of mitigating the natural gas released, could be significant. To the extentdevelop new projects, any of these costs are not covered by insurance (including any costs in excess of applicable policy limits), if there were to be significant delays in receiving insurance recoveries, or if the insurance recoveries are subject to income taxes while the associated costs are not tax deductible, such amounts couldwhich may have a material adverse effectimpact on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Cost Estimates and Accounting Impact
At September 30, 2019, SoCalGas estimates its costs related to the Leak are $1,099 million (the cost estimate), which includes $1,069 million of costs recovered or probable of recovery from insurance. Approximately 52 percent of the cost estimate is for the temporary relocation program (including cleaning costs and certain labor costs). The remaining portion of the cost estimate includes costs incurred to defend litigation, the costs of the government-ordered response to the Leak including the costs for an


independent third party to conduct a root cause analysis, efforts to control the well, to mitigate the natural gas released, the cost of replacing the lost gas, the costs of settlements with government entities and other costs. The cost estimate does not include potential additional litigation costs, regulatory-related costs or other costs described below, which could be material. SoCalGas adjusts the cost estimate as additional information becomes available. A substantial portion of the cost estimate has been paid, and $45 million is accrued in Reserve for Aliso Canyon Costs and $9 million is accrued in Deferred Credits and Other as of September 30, 2019 on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of September 30, 2019, we recorded the expected recovery of the cost estimate related to the Leak of $354 million as Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This amount is net of insurance retentions and $715 million of insurance proceeds we received through September 30, 2019. The Insurance Receivable for Aliso Canyon Costs and insurance proceeds received to date relate to portions of the cost estimate described above, including temporary relocation and associated processing costs, control-of-well expenses, costs of the government-ordered response including for an independent third party to conduct a root cause analysis, the costs to settle certain claims as described in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the estimated costs to perform obligations pursuant to settlement of some of those claims, legal costs and lost gas. If we were to conclude that this receivable or a portion of it is no longer probable of recovery from insurers, some or all of this receivable would be charged against earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
As described in “Civil and Criminal Litigation” in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the actions seek compensatory, statutory and punitive damages, restitution, and civil, administrative and criminal fines, penalties and other costs, which, except for the amounts paid or estimated to settle certain actions, are not included in the cost estimate as it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of these actions or reasonably estimate the amount of damages, restitution or civil, administrative or criminal fines, penalties or other costs that may be imposed. The recorded amounts above also do not include future legal costs necessary to defend litigation, and other potential costs that we currently do not anticipate incurring or that we cannot reasonably estimate. Furthermore, the cost estimate does not include any sanctions, fines, penalties or other costs that may be imposed by the CPUC in connection with the OII opened in June 2019 and certain other costs incurred by Sempra Energy associated with defending against shareholder derivative lawsuits.
Natural Gas Storage Operations and Reliability
Natural gas withdrawn from storage is important for service reliability during peak demand periods, including peak electric generation needs in the summer and heating needs in the winter. The Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility, with a capacity of 86 Bcf (representing 63 percent of SoCalGas’ natural gas storage capacity), is the largest SoCalGas storage facility and an important element of SoCalGas’ delivery system. As a result of the Leak, SoCalGas suspended injection of natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility beginning in October 2015, and following a comprehensive safety review and authorization by DOGGR and the CPUC’s Executive Director, resumed limited injection operations in July 2017.
During the suspension period, SoCalGas advised the California ISO, CEC, CPUC and PHMSA of its concerns that the inability to inject natural gas into the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility posed a risk to energy reliability in Southern California. Following the resumption of injection operations, the CPUC has issued a series of directives to SoCalGas specifying the range of working gas to be maintained in the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility to help ensure safety and reliability for the region and just and reasonable rates in California, the most recent of which, issued in July 2018, directed SoCalGas to maintain up to 34 Bcf of working gas. Limited withdrawals of natural gas from the facility were made in 2018 and 2019 to augment natural gas supplies during critical demand periods. In July 2019, the CPUC issued a protocol authorizing withdrawals of natural gas from the facility if gas supply is low in the region, to maintain system reliability and price stability.
If the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility were to be permanently closed, or if future cash flows were otherwise insufficient to recover its carrying value, it could result in an impairment of the facility and significantly higher than expected operating costs and/or additional capital expenditures, and natural gas reliability and electric generation could be jeopardized. At September 30, 2019, the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility had a net book value of $771 million. Any significant impairment of this asset could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s results of operations for the period in which it is recorded. Higher operating costs and additional capital expenditures incurred by SoCalGas may not be recoverable in customer rates and could have a material adverse effect on SoCalGas’ and Sempra Energy’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

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

Guaymas-El Oro Segment of the Sonora Pipeline


Other Legal and Regulatory Matters
As we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, IEnova has received force majeure payments for the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline sincefrom August 2017 which payments ended into August 2019, after damage to that segment of the pipeline made it inoperable and a court order has prevented repairs to put the pipeline back in service. In July 2019, the CFE filed a request for arbitration generally to nullify certain contract terms that provide for fixed capacity payments in instances of force majeure and made a demand for substantial damages in connection with the force majeure event. In September 2019, the arbitration process ended when2019. Under an agreement between IEnova and the CFE, reached an agreement to modify the tariff structure and extend the term of the contract for 10 years. Under the revised agreement, the CFE will resume making payments only when the damaged section of the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline is repaired. If the pipeline is not repaired by January 15, 2020March 14, 2021 and the parties do not agree on a new service start date, IEnova retains the right to terminate the contract and seek to recover its reasonable and documented costs and lost profits. If

IEnova is unable to make such repairs (which have not commenced) and resume operations in the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline or if IEnova terminates the contract and is unable to obtain recovery, there may be a material adverse impact on Sempra Energy’s results of operations and cash flows and our ability to recover the carrying value of our investment. At September 30, 2020, the Guaymas-El Oro segment of the Sonora pipeline had a net book value of $446 million.
EnergíIn May 2020, the two third-party capacity customers at the ECA LNG Regasification facility, Shell Mexico and Gazprom, asserted that a Costa Azul2019 update of the general terms and conditions for service at the facility, as approved by the CRE, resulted in a breach of contract by IEnova and a force majeure event. Citing these circumstances, the customers subsequently stopped making payments of amounts due under their respective LNG Terminalstorage and regasification agreements. IEnova has rejected the customers’ assertions and has drawn (and expects to continue to draw) on the customers’ letters of credit provided as payment security. The parties engaged in discussions under the applicable contractual dispute resolution procedures without coming to a mutually acceptable resolution. In July 2020, Shell Mexico submitted a request for arbitration of the dispute. IEnova will avail itself of its available claims, defenses and remedies in the arbitration proceeding. Gazprom has since replenished the amounts drawn on its letter of credit and has resumed making regular monthly payments under its LNG storage and regasification agreement. In October 2020, IEnova was informed by Gazprom of its consent to join the arbitration proceeding initiated by Shell Mexico against the ECA LNG Regasification facility and is awaiting the formalization of Gazprom’s recognition as a claimant party in such arbitration. IEnova intends to enforce its rights in the arbitration process, seeking to dismiss the customers’ claims. Shell Mexico also filed a constitutional challenge to the CRE’s approval of the update to the general terms and conditions. In October 2020, Shell Mexico’s request to stay CRE’s approval was denied and, subsequently, Shell Mexico filed an appeal of that decision.

Sempra LNG
Sempra LNG owns a 50.2% interest in Cameron LNG JV and is currently developing additional LNG export facilities on the Gulf coast and Pacific coast of North America through its proposed Cameron LNG JV liquefaction expansion project, ECA LNG JV liquefaction export project in Mexico, and Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project in Texas. We expect Sempra LNG to require funding for the development and expansion of its portfolio of projects, which may be financed through a combination of operating cash flows, funding from the parent, project financing and participating in JVs, including ECA LNG JV with IEnova.
North American natural gas prices, when in decline, negatively affect profitability at IEnova’s ECA facility below in “SempraSempra LNG.

Cameron LNG JV Three-Train Liquefaction Project (Phase 1)
Sempra LNG, through its interest in Cameron LNG JV, operates a three-train natural gas liquefaction facility with an export capability of 12 Mtpa of LNG. Construction on the current three-train liquefaction export project began in the second half of 20142014. The majority of the construction was project-financed at the JV, with most or all of the remainder of the capital requirements provided by the project partners, including Sempra Energy, through equity contributions under an EPC contract with athe project equity agreements. Cameron LNG JV between CB&I, LLC (as assigneeachieved commercial operations of CB&I Shaw Constructors, Inc.), a wholly owned subsidiary of McDermott International, Inc.,Train 1, Train 2 and Chiyoda International Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Chiyoda Corporation.Train 3 under its tolling agreements in August 2019, February 2020 and August 2020, respectively.
Large-scale construction projects like the design, development andWhile construction of the Cameron LNG JV liquefactionPhase 1 facility involve numeroushas been completed, many of the risks and uncertainties,related to the construction of the facility continue to apply after completion, including among others, the potential for unforeseen design flaws, engineering challenges, substantial construction delaysequipment failures, severe weather events, global pandemics, and increasedother operational issues, which could cause the facility to suspend operations or operate at a reduced capacity or could materially increase the facility’s operating costs. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
As we discuss below in “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” and in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, Sempra Energy has guaranteed a maximum of up to $4.0 billion related to Cameron LNG JV’s project financing and financing-related agreements. These guarantees terminate upon Cameron LNG JV hasachieving “financial completion”

of the initial three-train liquefaction project, including all three trains achieving commercial operation and meeting certain operational performance tests. Cameron LNG JV’s financing agreements contain events of default customary for such financings, including a turnkey EPC contract, and iffailure to achieve financial completion of the contractor becomes unwilling or unableproject by a financial completion deadline date of September 30, 2021 (with up to perform accordingan additional 365 days extension beyond such date permitted in cases of force majeure). Pursuant to the termsfinancing agreements, Cameron LNG JV is restricted from making distributions to its project owners during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2021 until it has achieved financial completion. Given the impacts of weather-related events in August and timetableSeptember of 2020 on Cameron LNG JV’s operations, including the EPC contract, the project could face substantial constructionability to commence certain operational performance tests, there will be delays and potentially significantly increased costs. If the contractor’s delays or failures are serious enough to cause the contractor to default under the EPC contract, such default could result in Cameron LNG JV’s engagementJV making distributions to its project owners, including Sempra LNG, until achieving financial completion, at which time any deferred distributions will be released. A delay that results in a failure to achieve financial completion by September 30, 2021 would result in an event of a substitute contractor, which would cause further delays.
In May 2019, construction of the first of three trains was completed and the first commissioning cargo carrying LNG was shipped. On July 26, 2019, Cameron LNG JV received authorization from the FERC to place Train 1 in service and on August 19, 2019, commercial operation of Train 1 commenceddefault under Cameron LNG JV’s tolling agreements. Duefinancing agreements and a potential demand on Sempra Energy’s guarantees. We anticipate that the guarantees will be terminated approximately nine months after all three trains achieved commercial operation. If, due to an issue with the residue gas compressor driver’s interface transformer reactor, Train 1 is operating at a reduced capacity depending on the ambient temperature and other factors. The reduction in Train 1’s operating capacity has not reduced Cameron LNG JV’s revenues under its tolling agreements. The manufacturer believes that it has identifiedfailure to satisfy the causefinancial completion criteria by the applicable deadline, we are required to repay some or all of the issue and has sent$4.0 billion under our guarantees, any such repayments could have a replacement for Train 1, which has been installed and is being tested. The replacements for Train 2 and Train 3 are scheduled to arrivematerial adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects.
For additional discussion about our investment in advance of the time they are required for commissioning. A delay in the arrival of these replacements in advance of the time they are required for commissioning or a failure of these replacements to work in accordance with specifications could delay the commencement of commercial operation of Train 2 and Train 3 under Cameron LNG JV’s tolling agreements.
In June 2019, Cameron LNG JV, entered into an amendment toJV financing, the EPC contract to provide for certain performance-based commercial considerations, including potential bonus payments to be paid by Cameron LNG JV if the contractor meets certain scheduled milestones and a resetting of the applicable start date for liquidated damages that would arise due to the delay of a train achieving substantial completion as contemplated by the EPC contract. The amendment also waives all of the contractor’s known and unknown claims prior to June 28, 2019. The amendment became effective on July 1, 2019.


This recent EPC contract amendment, a prior settlement agreement between Cameron LNG JV and the EPC contractor, and project delays increased the total estimated cost, including capitalized interest, of the integrated Cameron LNG JV facilityrisks discussed above the project budget and associated contingency adopted at the time of our final investment decision. We expect this increase will not be material to Sempra Energy, though the project may incur additional costs above what is currently anticipated that may be material to the overall cost of the project.
Based on a number of factors, we believe it is reasonable to expect Train 2 and Train 3 to begin producing LNG in the first and second quarters, respectively, of 2020. These factors include, among others, the EPC contractor’s progress to date, the current commissioning activities, the remaining work to be performed, the project schedules received from the EPC contractor, Cameron LNG JV’s own review of the project schedules, the assumptions underlying such schedules, and the inherent risks in constructing and testing facilities such as the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction facility. For a discussion of the Cameron LNG JV and of these risks and other risks relating to the development of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction export project that could adversely affect our future performance, see Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item“Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Proposed Cameron LNG JV Liquefaction Expansion Project (Phase 2)

The proposed expansion project includespermits obtained for Phase 2 include up to two additional liquefaction trains capable of increasing LNG production capacity by approximately 9 Mtpa to 10 Mtpa, and up to two additional full containment LNG storage tanks (one of which was permitted with the original three-train project).
Under the Cameron LNG JV financing agreements, expansionExpansion of the Cameron LNG JV facilitiesliquefaction facility beyond the first three trains is subject to certain restrictions and conditions under the JV project financing agreements, including among others, timing restrictions on expansion of the project unless appropriate prior consent is obtained from the project lenders. Under the Cameron LNG JV equity agreements, the expansion of the project requires the unanimous consent of all the partners, including with respect to the equity investment obligation of each partner. Discussions among all the Cameron LNG JV partners have been taking place regarding how an expansion may be structured.
In July 2018, TOTAL S.A. acquired Engie S.A.’s interest instructured and we expect that discussions will continue. There can be no assurance that the Cameron LNG JV. JV members will unanimously agree on an expansion structure, which, if not accomplished, could materially and adversely impact the development of the expansion project. In light of this and other considerations described below, we are unable to predict whether or when Cameron LNG JV might be able to move forward on expansion of the Cameron LNG JV liquefaction facility beyond the first three trains.
In November 2018, Sempra Energy and TOTAL S.A.SE entered into an MOU that provides a framework for cooperation for the development of the potential Cameron LNG JV expansion project and the potential ECA liquefaction-exportLNG JV liquefaction export project that we describe below in “Energía Costa Azul LNG Terminal.”below. The MOU contemplates TOTAL S.A.SE potentially contracting for up to approximately 9 Mtpa of LNG offtake across these two development projects. In addition, onin October 23, 2019, Sempra Energy and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. entered into an MOU that provides a framework for potential offtake by Mitsui & Co., Ltd. from the potential Cameron LNG JV expansion project and the second phase of the potential ECA liquefaction-export project, as well as Mitsui & Co., Ltd.’sLNG JV liquefaction project. In May 2020, Sempra Energy and Mitsubishi Corporation entered into an MOU that provides a framework for development of and potential acquisition of equity interest in the second phase ofofftake by Mitsubishi Corporation from the potential ECA liquefaction-exportCameron LNG JV expansion project. The ultimate participation of and offtake by TOTAL S.A. andSE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation remains subject to negotiation and finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and TOTAL S.A. andSE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation have no commitment to participate in or offtake from the projects.
We expect that discussions onThe development of the potential expansion will continue among all the Cameron LNG JV members. There can be no assurance that a mutually agreeable expansion structure will be agreed upon unanimously by the Cameron LNG JV members, which if not accomplished in a timely manner, could materially and adversely impact the development of the expansion project. In light of this, we are unable to predict when we and/or Cameron LNG JV might be able to move forward on this expansion project.
The expansion of the Cameron LNG JV facilities beyond the first three trainsproject is subject to a number ofnumerous other risks and uncertainties, including amending the Cameron LNG JV agreement among the partners, obtainingsecuring binding customer commitments,commitments; reaching unanimous agreement with our partners to proceed; obtaining a number of permits and regulatory approvals; securing financing; negotiating and completing the requiredsuitable commercial agreements, securing (or, in some cases, extending)including a definitive EPC contract, equity acquisition and maintaining all necessary permits, approvals and consents, obtaining financing,governance agreements; reaching a final investment decision among the Cameron LNG JV partners,decision; and other factors associated with thethis potential investment.

ECA LNG JV Liquefaction Export Projects
Through a JV agreement, Sempra LNG and IEnova are developing two proposed natural gas liquefaction export projects at IEnova’s existing ECA LNG Regasification facility. The proposed liquefaction export projects, which are planned for development in two phases (a mid-scale project referred to as ECA LNG JV Phase 1 and a large-scale project referred to as ECA LNG JV Phase 2), are being developed to provide buyers with direct access to West Coast LNG supplies. The ECA LNG Regasification facility currently has long-term regasification contracts for 100% of the regasification facility’s capacity through 2028, which historically have been profitable (however, see the discussion under “Sempra Mexico” in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding ongoing disputes with the two third-party capacity customers at the ECA LNG Regasification facility), making the decisions on whether and how to pursue the ECA LNG JV Phase 2 project dependent in part on whether the investment in a large-scale liquefaction facility would, over the long term, be more beneficial financially than continuing to supply regasification services under our existing contracts. We do not believe that the development of ECA LNG JV Phase 1 will disrupt operations at the ECA LNG Regasification facility.
In March 2019, ECA LNG JV received two authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from its proposed ECA LNG JV Phase 1 project, a one-train natural gas liquefaction facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.25 Mtpa and initial offtake capacity of approximately 2.5 Mtpa, and its proposed ECA LNG JV Phase 2 project, each of which is in development.
On February 27, 2020, we entered into an EPC contract with TechnipFMC for the engineering, procurement and construction of ECA LNG JV Phase 1. We have no obligation to move forward on the EPC contract, and we may release TechnipFMC to perform portions of the work pursuant to limited notices to proceed. We plan to fully release TechnipFMC to perform all of the work to construct ECA LNG JV Phase 1 only after we reach a final investment decision with respect to the project and after certain other conditions are met. The total price of the EPC contract for ECA LNG JV Phase 1 is estimated at approximately $1.5 billion, which TechnipFMC has agreed to uphold until November 13, 2020, at which time the EPC contract, including the price, may be subject to renegotiation. We estimate that capital expenditures for the proposed ECA LNG JV Phase 1 will approximate $2.0 billion, including capitalized interest and project contingency. The actual cost of the EPC contract and the actual amount of these capital expenditures may differ, perhaps substantially, from our estimates.
In April 2020, ECA LNG JV executed definitive 20-year LNG sale and purchase agreements with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and an affiliate of TOTAL SE for approximately 0.8 Mtpa of LNG and 1.7 Mtpa of LNG from ECA LNG JV Phase 1, respectively. Each agreement remains subject to certain customary conditions of effectiveness, including our final investment decision for the project. The MOU with TOTAL SE, provides a framework for it to acquire an equity interest in ECA LNG JV Phase 1. In addition, the MOU with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. provides a framework for Mitsui & Co., Ltd.’s potential offtake of LNG from, and potential acquisition of an equity interest in, ECA LNG JV Phase 2. We discuss these MOUs further under “Cameron LNG JV Liquefaction Expansion Project (Phase 2)” above.
A final investment decision for ECA LNG JV Phase 1 is contingent on the receipt of an export permit from the Mexican government. Operations at certain relevant regulatory agencies in Mexico remain limited due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has added to the uncertainty of the timing of the receipt of this permit and is contributing to a delay of our final investment decision.
The development of both the ECA LNG JV Phase 1 and ECA LNG JV Phase 2 projects is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including obtaining binding customer commitments for Phase 2; the receipt of a number of permits and regulatory approvals; obtaining financing; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including a definitive EPC contract for Phase 2, equity acquisition and governance agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply and transportation agreements; reaching a final investment decision for Phase 1 and Phase 2; and other factors associated with this potential investment. In addition, as we discuss in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, an unfavorable decision on certain property disputes or permit challenges, or an extended dispute with existing customers at the ECA LNG Regasification facility, could materially and adversely affect the development of these projects and Sempra Energy’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects, including the impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the projects to date. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Port Arthur LNG Liquefaction Development
Design, regulatory and commercial activities are ongoing for potential LNG liquefaction developments at our Port Arthur, Texas site and at Sempra Mexico’s ECA facility. For these development projects, we have met with potential customers and determined there is an interest in long-term contracts for LNG supplies beginning in the 2023 through 2025 time frame.
Port ArthurExport Project
Sempra LNG is developing a proposed natural gas liquefaction export project on a greenfield site that it owns in the vicinity of Port Arthur, Texas, located along the Sabine-Neches waterway.


In April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the Port Arthur liquefaction facility, along with certain natural gas pipelines, including the Louisiana Connector Pipeline, that could be used to supply feed gas to the liquefaction facility, assuming the project is completed.
Sempra LNG received authorizations from the DOE in August 2015 and May 2019 that collectively permit the LNG to be produced from the proposed Port Arthur LNG project to be exported to all current and future FTA and non-FTA countries.
In June 2018,April 2019, the FERC approved the siting, construction and operation of the proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction facility,
117


along with certain natural gas pipelines, including the Louisiana Connector and Texas Connector Pipelines, that could be used to supply feed gas to the liquefaction facility, assuming the project is completed.
On February 28, 2020, we selectedentered into an EPC contract with Bechtel Corporation as the EPC contractor for the proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction project. The EPC contract contemplates the construction of two liquefaction trains with a nameplate capacity of approximately 13.5 Mtpa, two LNG storage tanks, a marine berth and associated loading facilities and related infrastructure necessary to provide liquefaction services. We have no obligation to move forward on the EPC contract, and we may release Bechtel Corporation is to perform portions of the engineering, execution planningwork pursuant to limited notices to proceed. We plan to fully release Bechtel to perform all of the work to construct the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project only after we reach a final investment decision with respect to the project and related activities necessary to prepare, negotiate and finalize a definitiveafter certain other conditions are met, including obtaining project financing. When the EPC contract forwas executed, the project. The current arrangementprice was estimated to be approximately $8.9 billion, depending on the timing of a full notice to proceed. Since we did not issue a full notice to proceed by October 15, 2020, we are in discussions with Bechtel Corporation does not commit any partyregarding changes to enter into a definitivethe project schedule and renegotiating the EPC contract or otherwise participate inprice. Any changes to the project.EPC contract will require the agreement of both parties, which cannot be assured.
In December 2018, Polish Oil & Gas Company (PGNiG) and Port Arthur LNG entered into a definitive 20-year agreement for the sale and purchase of 2 Mtpa of LNG per year.year from the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project. Under the agreement, LNG purchases by PGNiG from Port Arthur LNG will be made on a free-on-board basis, with PGNiG responsible for shipping the LNG from the Port Arthur terminalfacility to the final destination. Port Arthur LNG will manage the gas pipeline transportation, liquefaction processing and cargo loading. The agreement is subject to certain conditions precedent, including Port Arthur LNG making a positive final investment decision within certain agreed timelines. The failure of these conditions precedent to be satisfied or waived within the agreed timelines could result in the termination of the agreement.
In May 2019, Aramco Services Company and Sempra LNG signed a Heads of Agreement for the negotiation and finalization of a definitive 20-year LNG sale and purchase agreement for 5 Mtpa of LNG offtake.offtake from the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project. The Heads of Agreement also includes the negotiation and finalization of a 25-percent25% equity investment in the project. In January 2020, Aramco Services Company and Sempra LNG signed an Interim Project Participation Agreement, which sets forth certain mechanisms for the parties to work towards receipt of corporate approvals to enter into and proceed with the transaction, execution of the transaction agreements and the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions precedent contemplated by these agreements, making a final investment decision and other pre-final investment decision activities. The Heads of Agreement and Interim Project Participation Agreement do not obligate the parties to ultimately execute any agreements or participate in the project.
In JuneNovember 2019, Sempra LNG initiated with the FERC the pre-filing review of a proposed extension of Port Arthur Pipeline, LLC’s Louisiana Connector Pipeline to Delhi, Louisiana. The proposed extension would also include increasingLNG commenced the sizerelocation and upgrade of the pipeline from 42 inches to 48 inches.
In June 2017, Port Arthur signed an MOU with Korea Gas Corporation for potential participation inapproximately three miles of highway where the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project as an LNG buyer and equity participant. The MOU expired in accordance with its terms in June 2019.would be located.
Also, in June 2019,In February 2020, Sempra LNG initiated with the FERC the pre-filing review offiled a proposed FERC application for the siting, construction and operation of a second phase at the proposed Port Arthur facility. The pre-filing documentation contemplates, among other things,LNG facility, including the potential addition of two liquefaction trains attrains.
We continue to work on completing all necessary milestones so that we are prepared to make a final investment decision for the proposed Port Arthur facility.LNG liquefaction export project when appropriate. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy and the current uncertainty in the energy and financial markets has delayed the expected timing of our final investment decision from 2020 to 2021.
Development of the Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including obtaining additional customer commitments; completing the required commercial agreements, such as equity acquisitions and governance agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply and transportation agreements; completing construction contracts; securing all necessary permits and approvals; obtaining financing and incentives; reaching a final investment decision; and other factors associated with the potential investment. See “ItemAn unfavorable outcome with respect to any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s financial condition, results of operations and prospects, including the impairment of all or a substantial portion of the capital costs invested in the project to date. For a discussion of these risks, see “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
Energía Costa Azul LNG Terminal
Discontinued Operations
As we discuss in “Item 7. MD&A Factors Influencing Future Performance” in the Annual Report, Sempra LNG and IEnova are developing a proposed natural gas liquefaction project at the site of IEnova’s existing regasification terminal at ECA. The proposed liquefaction facility project, which we expect will be developed in two phases, is being developed to provide buyers with direct access to west coast LNG supplies. ECA currently has profitable long-term regasification contracts for 100 percent of the regasification facility’s capacity through 2028, making the decisions on whether and how to pursue a new liquefaction facility dependent in part on whether the investment in a new liquefaction facility would, over the long term, be more beneficial financially than continuing to supply regasification services under our existing contracts.
In March 2019, ECA LNG received two authorizations from the DOE to export U.S.-produced natural gas to Mexico and to re-export LNG to non-FTA countries from its Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects in development.
In June 2018, we selected a TechnipFMC plc and Kiewit Corporation partnership as the EPC contractor for the first phase of the proposed ECA LNG liquefaction facility project (ECA LNG Phase 1). The TechnipFMC-Kiewit partnership is to perform the engineering, planning and related activities necessary to prepare, negotiate and finalize a definitive EPC contract for ECA LNG Phase 1. The current arrangement with the TechnipFMC-Kiewit partnership does not commit any party to enter into a definitive EPC contract or otherwise participate in the project.
The ultimate participation of TOTAL S.A., Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Gas Co., Ltd. in the potential ECA LNG project as contemplated by a Heads of Agreements signed in November 2018 remains subject to finalization of definitive agreements, among other factors, and none of these parties has committed to participate in this project. The development of the ECA LNG Phase 1 and Phase 2 projects is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including obtaining binding customer commitments;


the receipt of a number of permits and regulatory approvals; obtaining financing; negotiating and completing suitable commercial agreements, including a definitive EPC contract, equity acquisition and governance agreements, LNG sales agreements and gas supply and transportation agreements; reaching a final investment decision; and other factors associated with this potential investment. In addition, as we discuss in Note 115 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, an unfavorable decision on certain property disputesin January 2019, our board of directors approved a plan to sell our South American businesses. On April 24, 2020, we completed the sale of our equity interests in our Peruvian businesses for cash proceeds of $3,549 million, net of transaction costs and permit challenges could materiallyas adjusted for post-closing adjustments. On June 24, 2020, we completed the sale of our equity interests in our Chilean businesses for cash proceeds of $2,216 million, net of transaction costs and adversely affectas adjusted for post-closing adjustments.
Our utilities in South America have historically provided relatively stable earnings and liquidity. We used a portion of the developmentproceeds from the sales of these projects. Forbusinesses to strengthen our balance sheet by repaying certain short-term borrowings and

repurchasing shares of our common stock, and we intend to use the remaining proceeds to focus on capital investment in North America to support additional growth opportunities. We expect the cash provided by earnings from our capital investment will exceed the absence of cash flows from these discontinued operations. However, there can be no assurance that we will derive these anticipated benefits. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to redeploy the capital that we obtained from such sales in a discussionway that results in cash flows or earnings exceeding those historically generated by these businesses.

The amounts and timing of capital expenditures and certain investments are generally subject to approvals by various regulatory and other governmental and environmental bodies, including the CPUC, the FERC and the PUCT. Excluding discontinued operations, in 2020, we expect to make capital expenditures and investments of approximately $5.6 billion, a decrease from the $5.9 billion projected in “Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Capital Resources and Liquidity” in the Annual Report. The decrease is primarily attributable to a deferral of capital expenditures to 2021 at Sempra Mexico and a delay in our final investment decision for Phase 1 of the ECA LNG JV liquefaction export project at Sempra LNG, partially offset by an increase in contributions to Oncor Holdings.
LITIGATIONCOMMITMENTS
We describe legal proceedings that could adversely affectdiscuss significant changes to contractual commitments in the first nine months of 2020, none of which were outside the ordinary course of our future performancebusiness, in NoteNotes 7 and 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
In August 2014 and December 2019, Sempra Energy provided guarantees for 50.2% of Cameron LNG JV’s financing obligations for a maximum amount of up to $4.0 billion. The guarantees will terminate upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including all three trains achieving financial completion by September 30, 2021 (with up to an additional 365-day extension beyond such date permitted in cases of force majeure). However, if Cameron LNG JV fails to satisfy the financial completion criteria, a demand could be made under the guarantee for Sempra Energy’s 50.2% share of Cameron LNG JV’s obligations under the financing arrangements then due and payable, which could have a material adverse impact on Sempra Energy’s liquidity. We discuss these guarantees above in “Overview – Sempra LNG – Cameron LNG JV Three-Train Liquefaction Project (Phase 1),” in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Annual Report.
In July 2020, Sempra Energy entered into a Support Agreement, which contains a guarantee and represents a variable interest, for the benefit of CFIN with a maximum exposure to loss of $979 million. The guarantee will terminate upon full repayment of the guaranteed debt by 2039, including repayment following an event in which the guaranteed debt is put to Sempra Energy. We discuss this guarantee in Notes 1, 6 and 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
SDG&E has entered into PPAs and tolling agreements that are variable interests. Our investments in Oncor Holdings and Cameron LNG JV are variable interests. Sempra Energy’s other businesses may also enter into arrangements that could include variable interests. We discuss variable interests in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
We view certain accounting policies as critical because their application is the most relevant, judgmental, and/or material to our financial position and results of operations, and/or because they require the use of material judgments and estimates. We discuss these accounting policies in “Item“Part II – Item 7. MD&A” in the Annual Report.
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. We follow the same accounting policies for interim reporting purposes.

S&P’s issuer credit rating was BBB+ with a negative outlook for Sempra Energy, BBB+ with a stable outlook for SDG&E and A with a negative outlook for SoCalGas; and
Fitch long-term issuer default rating was BBB+ with a stable outlook for Sempra Energy, BBB+ with a stable outlook for SDG&E and A with a stable outlook for SoCalGas.
Our credit ratings may affect the rates at which borrowings bear interest and the commitment fees on available unused credit. A downgrade of Sempra Energy’s or any of its subsidiaries’ credit ratings or rating outlooks may result in a requirement for collateral to be posted in the case of certain financing arrangements and may materially and adversely affect the market prices of their equity and debt securities, the rates at which borrowings are made and commercial paper is issued, and the various fees on their outstanding credit facilities. This could make it more costly for Sempra Energy, SDG&E, SoCalGas and Sempra Energy’s other subsidiaries to issue debt securities, to borrow under credit facilities and to raise certain other types of financing.
Sempra Energy has agreed that, if the credit rating of Oncor’s senior secured debt by any of the three major rating agencies falls below BBB (or the equivalent), Oncor will suspend dividends and other distributions (except for contractual tax payments), unless otherwise allowed by the PUCT. Oncor’s senior secured debt is rated A2, A+ and A at Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, respectively, at September 30, 2019.


FOREIGN CURRENCY AND INFLATION RATE RISK
We discuss our foreign currency and inflation exposure in “Item“Part I – Item 2. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” hereinin this report and in “Item“Part II – Item 7. MD&A – Impact of Foreign Currency and Inflation Rates on Results of Operations” in the Annual Report. We completed the sales of our South American businesses in the second quarter of 2020 and are no longer exposed to changes in foreign currency and inflation rates in Peru and Chile. At September 30, 2019,2020, there were no other significant changes to our exposure to foreign currency rate risk since December 31, 2018.

Risks Related to All Sempra Energy Businesses
Our business faces risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic is currently materially impacting communities, supply chains and markets around the world. The U.S. economy is experiencing a significant slowdown and claims for unemployment have increased to historic levels. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on our results of operations. However, we are conducting business with substantial modifications to employee travel, employee work locations, and virtualization or cancellation of certain business activities, among other modifications. If these or other similar measures were to increase or continue for an extended period, we could experience employee absenteeism, decreased efficiency and productivity by our workforce and other similar impacts that could jeopardize our ability to sustain operations and satisfy compliance requirements. We also have observed other companies, including our current and prospective counterparties, customers and partners, as well as many governments, including our regulators and other governing bodies that affect our businesses, taking precautionary, preemptive and responsive actions to address the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and they may take further actions that alter their normal operations. These actions by third parties could materially impact our operations, results, liquidity and ability to pursue capital projects and strategic initiatives. For example, the CPUC has required that all energy companies under its jurisdiction take action to implement several emergency customer protection measures to support California customers. The measures apply to all residential and small business customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and include suspending service disconnections due to nonpayment, waiving late payment fees, and offering flexible payment plans for customers experiencing difficulty paying their electric or gas bills. These actions have resulted in a reduction in payments received from our customers and an increase in uncollectible accounts, which could become material, and any inability to recover these costs could have a material adverse effect on the cash flows, financial condition and results of operations for Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas. As another example, our final investment decision on Phase 1 of the proposed ECA LNG JV natural gas liquefaction project has been delayed due in part to the closure of non-essential activities in Mexico in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has further hindered our ability to obtain an export permit from the Mexican government that is necessary for the project to proceed. If this or other projects under development are further delayed due to continuing or worsening conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or other related factors, the performance and prospects of our LNG export business could be materially adversely affected.
In addition, the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the current uncertainty in the global oil and gas markets, or a combination of these factors, have contributed to the delay of our projected final investment decision on our proposed Port Arthur LNG liquefaction export project from 2020 to 2021. These conditions, as well as potential disruptions of construction and development activity if our project counterparties implement or are required to implement stay-at-home or limited workforce measures in response to the pandemic, could result in substantial further delays of our LNG and other projects currently under development.
Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected conditions in the capital markets and may adversely affect our cost of and access to capital, including from the capital markets generally, from commercial paper markets and from commercial banks. Although Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas are not currently constrained in their ability to borrow money at reasonable rates, these circumstances could change if conditions worsen or continue for an extended period, which could have a material negative effect on our liquidity, results of operations, strategic initiatives and prospects. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a slowdown of our capital spending, which could worsen if conditions deteriorate or fail to improve in the near term and which could have a material adverse effect on Sempra Energy’s, SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ results of operations and prospects.
We will continue to actively monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities, or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners and suppliers. However, we cannot at this time predict the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will further impact our liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

This repurchase authorization had no expiration date. On July 1, 2020, we entered into an ASR program with Citibank, N.A. under which we prepaid $500 million to repurchase shares of our common stock in a share forward transaction. The total number of shares purchased was determined by dividing the $500 million purchase price by the arithmetic average of the volume-weighted average trading prices of shares of our common stock during the valuation period of July 2, 2020 through August 4, 2020, minus a fixed discount. The ASR program was completed on August 4, 2020, upon which date the aggregate dollar amount authorized by the September 11, 2007 share repurchase authorization was exhausted.
(2)    On July 6, 2020, our board of directors authorized the repurchase of shares of our common stock at any time and from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of $2 billion or amounts spent to purchase no more than 25 million shares. This repurchase authorization was publicly announced on August 5, 2020 and has no expiration date. No shares have been repurchased under this authorization.

We may also, from time to time, purchase shares of our common stock to which participants would otherwise be entitled from long-term incentive plan participants who elect to sell a sufficient number of shares in connection with the vesting of RSUs and stock options in order to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements.
