SEMPRA
SREBusiness Summary
Sempra is a holding company whose principal businesses are regulated utilities in California and Texas, investing in and operating electric and gas utilities and other energy infrastructure that provide energy services to customers. Sempra was formed in 1998 through a business combination of Enova Corporation and Pacific Enterprises, the holding companies of its regulated public utilities in California: SDG&E, which began operations in 1881, and SoCalGas, which began operations in 1867. Sempra has since expanded its regulated public utility presence into Texas through its 80.25% interest in Oncor and 50% interest in Sharyland Utilities. Sempra Infrastructure's assets include investments in the U.S. and Mexico with a focus on LNG, energy networks and low carbon solutions.
Sempra's business activities are organized under the following reportable segments: Sempra California, Sempra Texas Utilities, and Sempra Infrastructure. Sempra's mission is to build America's leading utility growth business, primarily focused on the largest economies in the U.S., California and Texas, where it is investing in regulated utilities with a view toward producing stable cash flows and improved earnings visibility. Sempra does not control Oncor Holdings or Oncor, and ring-fencing measures, governance mechanisms and commitments limit Sempra's ability to direct the management, policies and operations of Oncor Holdings and Oncor, including the deployment or disposition of their assets, declarations of dividends or other distributions, strategic planning and other important corporate matters and actions, including limited representation on the Oncor Holdings and Oncor boards of directors.
Sempra generates revenue through its regulated utilities in California and Texas, which provide electric and natural gas services to customers, and through its Sempra Infrastructure segment, which develops, constructs, operates and invests in energy infrastructure including LNG, energy networks and low carbon solutions.

Business Outlook
Sempra's mission is to build America's leading utility growth business, primarily focused on the largest economies in the U.S., California and Texas, where it is investing in regulated utilities with a view toward producing stable cash flows and improved earnings visibility. Sempra aims to have net-zero scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050 and has an interim aim of 50% scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reductions by 2035 (this interim target is relative to a 2019 baseline, applies to Sempra California's operations and Sempra Infrastructure's Mexico (non-LNG) operations, and may be subject to further revision if Sempra's planned sale of a portion of its equity interest in SI Partners is completed). Sempra and its subsidiaries also continue to advocate for programs and initiatives that support regulatory, consumer and market demand for lower- and zero-carbon energy.
Sempra's growth vectors include the development and construction of LNG projects. The PA LNG Phase 1 project's first train remains on schedule, and Sempra continues to expect the first and second trains to commence commercial operations at or near the end of 2027 and in 2028, respectively. The PA LNG Phase 2 project is expected to have its third and fourth trains commence commercial operations in 2030 and 2031, respectively. The ECA LNG Phase 1 project is expected to produce LNG cargoes for sale in the spring of 2026 and sales under the long-term SPAs to begin shortly after substantial completion when the facility commences commercial operations, which is targeted in the summer of 2026. The Cimarrón Wind project, an approximately 320-MW wind generation facility, commenced energy generation in October 2025 during its commissioning phase, and Sempra expects commercial operations to commence in the first quarter of 2026. SI Partners is also pursuing or evaluating the Cameron LNG Phase 2 project and the ECA LNG Phase 2 project, though no FID has been reached for either of these potential projects. Sempra is also developing the potential Hackberry Carbon Sequestration project near Hackberry, Louisiana, together with TotalEnergies SE, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Corporation.
Sempra's margin and cost outlook is influenced by regulatory mechanisms. SDG&E and SoCalGas are subject to CPUC GRC proceedings that set authorized base revenue requirements sufficient to allow them to recover their reasonable forecasted operating costs and to provide the opportunity to realize their authorized rates of return on their investments. The CPUC cost of capital proceeding every three years determines a utility's authorized capital structure and return on rate base. The CCM considers changes in the cost of capital using changes in interest rates as reflected by the applicable utility bond index published by Moody's for each 12-month period ending September 30. The CCM, if triggered, would automatically update the authorized cost of debt based on actual costs and update the authorized ROE upward or downward by 20% of the difference between the CCM benchmark rate and the applicable Moody's utility bond index during the measurement period. Oncor's authorized regulatory capital structure ratio is set at 57.5% debt to 42.5% equity, its authorized ROE at 9.70%, and its authorized cost of debt at 4.39% 18. In November 2025, the PUCT approved Sharyland Utilities' total revenue requirement at $53 million 19, with a capital structure ratio of 59% debt to 41% equity, an ROE of 9.60% 20, and a long-term cost of debt of 4.52% 21.
Sempra's operational outlook includes the construction of the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector, a 72-mile pipeline connecting the PA LNG Phase 1 project to Gillis, Louisiana, which is expected to be ready for service ahead of the PA LNG Phase 1 project's gas requirements. SI Partners is also constructing Louisiana Storage, a 12.5-Bcf salt dome natural gas storage facility to support the PA LNG Phase 1 project, including an 11-mile pipeline that will connect to the Port Arthur Pipeline Louisiana Connector, expected to be ready for service in time to support the needs of the PA LNG Phase 1 project. Sempra continues to advance its workforce modernization efforts to enhance operational performance, intending to shift its workforce toward higher-value roles through talent reskilling and upskilling, redeployment strategies, and driving adoption of artificial intelligence and modern technologies. As of December 31, 2025, Sempra had 15,938 employees 22, SDG&E had 4,448 employees 23, and SoCalGas had 8,065 employees 24.
Sempra's capital allocation strategy includes financing its five-year capital expenditures plan in a manner that will maintain its investment-grade credit ratings and capital structure. Sempra has an ATM program established in November 2024, and as of February 26, 2026, 4,996,591 shares under existing forward sale agreements remain subject to future settlement . Sempra's ability to pay dividends and meet its debt and other obligations largely depends on distributions from its subsidiaries and equity method investees. The limited partnership agreement of SI Partners requires that SI Partners distribute to the limited partners at least 85% of distributable cash of SI Partners and its subsidiaries on a quarterly basis, subject to certain exceptions and reserves.
Sempra faces headwinds and constraints including the impact of California wildfires, potential liability for damages regardless of fault, and any inability to recover all or a substantial portion of costs from insurance, the Wildfire Fund and the Continuation Account, rates from customers or a combination thereof. The electricity industry is undergoing significant change, and natural gas continues to be the subject of political and public debate, including a desire by some to reduce or eliminate reliance on natural gas as an energy source. Sempra's international businesses and operations expose it to increased legal, regulatory, tax, economic, geopolitical, credit and management oversight risks and challenges, including recent legal and regulatory changes in Mexico designed to increase the government's control and participation in the energy sector. The ECA LNG Phase 1 project's customers have a termination right if the project does not commence commercial operations under the SPAs by February 24, 2026, subject to certain additional conditions, for which Sempra has requested an extension. As of February 26, 2026, no customers have given notice of their intent to terminate the SPAs.
Sempra faces risks related to the evolving regulatory environment, including failures or delays in obtaining and maintaining franchises and other required approvals and potential negative impacts of its legislative and regulatory advocacy efforts. SDG&E has electric and natural gas franchises for the City of San Diego that went into effect in July 2021, providing SDG&E the opportunity to serve the City of San Diego for 20 years, consisting of 10-year agreements that will automatically renew for an additional 10 years unless the City Council voids the automatic renewal, and these franchise agreements have been challenged in a lawsuit. Sempra also faces risks related to environmental and climate change regulation and the costs of the energy transition, including the impact of climate policies, laws, rules, regulations, trends and required disclosures, including actions to reduce or eliminate reliance on natural gas, increased uncertainty in the political or regulatory environment for California natural gas distribution companies, the risk of nonrecovery for stranded assets, and uncertainty related to emerging technologies.
Risk Factors
Sempra faces material risks from California wildfires, including potential liability for damages regardless of fault and any inability to recover all or a substantial portion of costs from insurance, the Wildfire Fund and the Continuation Account, rates from customers or a combination thereof. The planned sale of a 45% equity interest in SI Partners to the KKR Partners for $9.99 billion may not be completed or may not realize anticipated benefits, and the sale of Ecogas for 9.0 billion Mexican pesos (approximately $500 million U.S. dollar-equivalent at December 31, 2025) is subject to similar risks. Sempra's ability to pay dividends and meet its obligations largely depends on distributions from its subsidiaries and equity method investees, and Sempra's rights to the assets of its subsidiaries and equity method investees are structurally subordinated to the claims of each entity's trade and other creditors. The ECA LNG Phase 1 project's customers have a termination right if the project does not commence commercial operations under the SPAs by February 24, 2026, subject to certain additional conditions, for which Sempra has requested an extension. Sempra's international businesses and operations expose it to increased legal, regulatory, tax, economic, geopolitical, credit and management oversight risks and challenges, including recent legal and regulatory changes in Mexico designed to increase the government's control and participation in the energy sector.
Management Priorities
Management's message emphasizes Sempra's mission to build America's leading utility growth business, with a primary focus on the largest economies in the U.S., California and Texas, where it is investing in regulated utilities with a view toward producing stable cash flows and improved earnings visibility. Key strategic priorities include executing the five-year capital expenditures plan, completing the planned sale of a 45% equity interest in SI Partners to the KKR Partners for $9.99 billion , completing the sale of Ecogas for 9.0 billion Mexican pesos (approximately $500 million U.S. dollar-equivalent at December 31, 2025) , and advancing LNG projects including the PA LNG Phase 1 project with first and second trains expected to commence commercial operations at or near the end of 2027 and in 2028, respectively, and the PA LNG Phase 2 project with third and fourth trains expected to commence commercial operations in 2030 and 2031, respectively. Management also emphasizes the goal of delivering safe, reliable and affordable energy to customers while increasing shareholder value, and the aim to have net-zero scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050 with an interim aim of 50% scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reductions by 2035.
