SEMPRA ENERGY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1. GENERAL 

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

Sempra Energy

Sempra Energy's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Sempra Energy, a California-based Fortune 500 holding company, and its consolidated subsidiaries and a variable interest entity (VIE). Sempra Energy 6;s principal subsidiaries are

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

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

Sempra Energy uses the equity method to account for investments in affiliated companies over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control.  We discuss our investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries in Note 4 below and Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

SDG&E

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

Pacific Enterprises and SoCalGas

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

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

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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

We have prepared the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and in accordance with the interim-period-reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year. We evaluated events and transactions that occurred after June 30, 2010 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.

You should read the information in this Quarterly Report in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the Annual Report), and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, which are combined reports for Sempra Energy, SDG&E, PE and SoCalGas.

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

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

Orange Grove Energy L.P.

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

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

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

Presentation of Restricted Cash

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

 

NOTE 2. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

We describe below recent pronouncements that have had or may have a significant effect on our financial statements. We do not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to our financial condition, results of operations, or disclosures. 

SEMPRA ENERGY, SDG&E, PE AND SOCALGAS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

§transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2

§segregation of classes of asse ts and liabilities measured at fair value

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

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

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

 

NOTE 3. RECENT INVESTMENT ACTIVITY

SEMPRA PIPELINES & STORAGE

Acquisition of Mexican Pipeline and Natural Gas Infrastructure

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

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


The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and will be completed when we receive final closing information from El Paso Corporation. The following table summarizes the preliminary consideration paid in the acquisition and the recognized amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at April 30, 2010:

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

Included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are revenues and earnings of $1 million and $5 million, respectively, for the period May 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010 related to the assets acquired from El Paso Corporation.  Proforma impacts on revenues and earnings for Sempra Energy had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2009 were immaterial.

Natural Gas Storage Projects

Sempra Pipelines & Storage’s Sempra Midstream owned 60 percent of Mississippi Hub, LLC (Mississippi Hub) through December 31, 2008 and on January 16, 2009, purchased the remaining 40-percent ownership interest for $94 million in cash.

 

NOTE 4. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

SEMPRA ENERGY AND SDG&E

A vailable-for-Sale Securities

In June 2009, SDG&E remarketed $176 million of its industrial development bonds at a fixed rate of 5.875 percent, maturing in 2034. Prior to SDG&E's remarketing, SDG&E purchased $152 million of the bonds from Sempra Energy. We discuss these bonds further in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

SEMPRA COMMODITIES

RBS Sempra Commodities LLP (RBS Sempra Commodities) is a limited liability partnership formed in the United Kingdom to own and operate the commodities-marketing businesses previously operated through wholly owned subsidiaries of Sempra Energy. We account for our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities under the equity method, and report our share of partnership earnings in the Sempra Commodities segment.

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded pretax equity losses of $16 million and $9 million, respectively, from RBS Sempra Commodities. Pretax equity earnings from RBS Sempra Commodities were $126 million and $279 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The partnership income that is distributable to us on an annual basis is computed on the partnership's basis of accounting, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, our share of distributable income, on an IFRS basis, was $32 million and $31 million, respectively. In the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, our share of distributable income, on an IFRS basis, was $102 million and $216 million, respectively. In the second quarter of 2010, we received the remaining distribution of 2009 partnership income of $198 million. In the first six months of 2009, we received cash distributions from the partnership of $375 million. We discuss the equity method investment in RBS Sempra Commodities further in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

We have indemnified the partnership for certain litigation and tax liabilities related to the businesses purchased by the partnership. We recorded these obligations at a fair value of $5 million on April 1, 2008, the date we formed the partnership. This liability is being amortized over its expected life.  

In November 2009, RBS announced its intention to divest its interest in RBS Sempra Commodities in connection with a directive from the European Commission to dispose of certain assets. In February 2010, Sempra Energy, RBS and the partnership (Seller Parties) entered into an agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with J.P. Morgan Ventures Energy Corporation (J.P. Morgan Ve ntures), for J.P. Morgan Ventures to purchase the following businesses from the joint venture:

§the global oil, metals, coal, emissions (other than emissions related to the partnership’s North American power business), plastics, agricultural commodities and concentrates commodities trading and marketing business

§the European power and gas business

§the investor products business

The Purchase Agreement does not include RBS Sempra Commodities' North American power and natural gas trading businesses and its retail energy solutions business.  These businesses have historic ally generated 40 to 60 percent of total earnings of the businesses in the partnership, and have averaged more than 50 percent. RBS and Sempra Energy are actively soliciting offers for the sale of these remaining businesses.

The transaction with J.P. Morgan Ventures was completed on July 1, 2010 and we received the majority of the proceeds in early July 2010. The purchase price was $1.6 billion, and our share of the proceeds is approximately $1 billion, including distributions of 2009 partnership income attributable to the businesses sold, which were $134 million of the $198 million in distributions we received in April 2010. We and RBS continue to engage in an active sales process for the remaining partnership businesses. Based on preliminary indications of value from potential buyers and discussions with our partner with respect to the ultimate allocation of proceeds, we currently believe that our share of the proceeds from the partnership for the sale to J.P. Morgan Ventures and proceeds from the sale or ultimate disposition of the remaining joint venture assets will be sufficient such that their application to our equity method investment will not have a material effect on our earnings. We and RBS are also continuing to discuss amending various provisions to our partnership agreement in light of the sale to J.P. Morgan Ventures and the sales process for the remaining businesses.

SEMPRA PIPELINES & STORAGE

In the first quarter 2010, Sempra Pipelines & Storage contributed $65 million to Rockies Express, a joint venture to own and operate the Rockies Express Pipeline, which contribution was the last required for the construction phase of the project. Sempra Pipelines & Storage contributed $188 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $213 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009. We discuss this investment in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

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

 

NOTE 5. OTHER FINANCIAL DATA

VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

We consolidate a VIE if we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s activities. Our determination of whether we are the primary beneficiary is based upon qualitative and quantitative analyses, which assess

§the purpose and design of the VIE;

§the nature of the VIE's risks and the risks we absorb;

§the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and

§the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benef its that could be significant to the VIE.  

SDG&E has agreements under which it purchases power generated by facilities for which it supplies all of the natural gas to fuel the power plant (i.e., tolling agreements).  SDG&E’s obligation to absorb natural gas costs may be a significant variable interest.  In addition, SDG&E has the power to direct the dispatch of electricity generated by these facilities. Based upon our analysis, the ability to direct the dispatch of electricity may have the most significant impacts on the economic performance of the 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 u seful life, SDG&E may be the primary beneficiary of the facility. SDG&E determines if it is the primary beneficiary in these cases based on the operational characteristics of the power plant, including its expected power generation output relative to its capacity to generate, among other factors. If we determine that SDG&E is the primary beneficiary, Sempra Energy and SDG&E consolidate the facility as a VIE, as we discuss below.

Otay Mesa VIE

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

The facility owner, Otay Mesa Energy Center LLC (OMEC LLC), is a VIE (Otay Mesa VIE), of which SDG&E is the primary beneficiary.  SDG&E has no OMEC LLC voting rights and does not operate OMEC. In addition to the risks absorbed under the tolling agreement, SDG&E absorbs separately through the put option a significant portion of the risk that the value of Otay Mesa VIE could decline. Sempra Energy and SDG&E have consolidated Otay Mesa VIE since the second quarter of 2007, and have continued to consolidate it through the second quarter of 2010. Otay Mesa VIE's equity of $121 million at June 30, 2010 and $146 million at December 31, 2009 is included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other Noncontrolling Interests for Sempra Energy and in Noncontrolling Interest for SDG&E.

OMEC LLC has a loan outstanding of $370 million at June 30, 2010, the proceeds of which were used for the construction of OMEC. The loan is with third party lenders and is secured by OMEC's property, plant and equipment. SDG&E is not a party to the loan agreement and does not have any additional implicit or explicit financial responsibility to OMEC LLC. The loan fully matures in April 2019 and bears interest at rates varying with market rates. In addition, OMEC LLC has entered into interest rate swap agreements to moderate its exposure to interest rate changes. We provide additional information concerning the interest rate swaps in Note 7.

Other Variable Interest Entities

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

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

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table provides the per share computations for our earnings for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is calculated by dividing earnings attributable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS includes the potential dilution of common stock equivalent shares that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

The dilution from common stock options is based on the treasury stock method. Under this method, proceeds based on the exercise price plus unearned compensation and windfall tax benefits or minus tax shortfalls related to the options are assumed to be used to repurchase shares on t he open market at the average market price for the period. The windfall tax benefits are tax deductions we would receive upon the assumed exercise of stock options in excess of the deferred income taxes we recorded related to the compensation expense on the stock options. Tax shortfalls occur when the assumed tax deductions are less than recorded deferred income taxes. The calculation excludes options for which the exercise price on common stock was greater than the average market price during the period. We had 2,177,855 and 2,171,016 such stock options outstanding during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. We had 1,506,783 and 2,250,061 such stock options outstanding during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

We had 33,889 and 862,027 stock options outstanding during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, that were anti-dilutive because of the unearned compensation and windfall tax benefits included in the assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method. We had no such anti-dilutive stock options during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2010.    

The dilution from unvested restricted stock awards and units is also based on the treasury stock method. Assumed proceeds equal to the unearned compensation and windfall tax benefits or minus tax shortfalls related to the awards and units are assumed to be used to repurchase shares on the open market at the average market price for the period. The windfall tax benefits or tax shortfalls are the difference between tax deductions we would receive upon the assumed vesting of restricted stock awards and units and the deferred income taxes we recorded related to the compensation expense on the restricted stock awards and units. There were no such anti-dilutive restricted stock awards or units during any period presented.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We discuss our share-based compensation plans in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. We recorded share-based compensation expense, net of income taxes, of $6 million and $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $13 million and $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Pursuant to our share-based compensation plans, we granted 687,600 non-qualified stock options and 773,616 restricted stock units during the six months ended June 30, 2010, primarily in January 2010.

CAPITALIZED FINANCING COSTS

Capitalized financing costs include capitalized interest costs and, at the Sempra Utilities, an allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) related to both debt and equity financing of construction projects.  The following table shows capitalized financing costs for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Loans to Unc onsolidated Affiliates

Sempra Pipelines & Storage has a U.S. dollar-denominated loan to Camuzzi Gas del Sur S.A., an affiliate of Sempra Pipelines & Storage’s Argentine investments, which we discuss in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. The loan to Camuzzi Gas del Sur S.A. has a $28 million balance outstanding at a variable interest rate (7.53 percent as of June 30, 2010). In May 2010, the maturity date of the loan was extended from June 2010 to June 30, 2011. The loan is fully reserved at June 30, 2010.

Investments

In November 2009, Sempra Pipelines & Storage purchased $50 million of 2.75-percent bonds issued by Chilquinta Energía S.A., an unconsolidated affiliate, that are adjusted (or indexed) for Chilean inflation. The bonds mature on October 30, 2014. The carrying value of the bonds after the effect of foreign currency translation was $48 million at June 30, 2010.  We discuss this investment in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Includes gains of $3 million and $14 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, and $4 million loss and $1 million gain for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, related to a natural gas sales agreement with RBS Sempra Commodities which is subject to mark-to-market accounting. Under this agreement, which extends for five years beginning September 1, 2009, RBS Sempra Commodities will market natural gas that Sempra LNG purchases and does not sell under other contracts.

WRITE-OFF OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

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

Changes in Effective Income Tax Rates

Sempra Energy Consolidated

The decrease in effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to:

§$5 million tax benefit in 2010 compared to $20 million tax expense in 2009 due to Mexican currency translation and inflation adjustments;

§higher planned investment tax credits;

§higher self-developed software costs, which are deductible for income tax purposes but capitalized for book purposes; and

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

§lower pretax income in countries with lower statutory rates;

§lower favorable impact from the resolution of prior years' income tax issues; and

§higher difference between book depreciation and normalized tax depreciation, which is not treated as a deferred tax asset for ratemaking purposes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the increase in effective income tax rate was primarily due to:

&# 167;lower pretax income in countries with lower statutory rates;

§a $16 million write-down of the deferred tax assets related to other post employment benefits, as a result of a change in U.S. tax law that eliminates a future deduction, starting in 2013, for retiree healthcare funded by the Medicare Part D subsidy; and

§higher difference between book depreciation and normalized tax depreciation, which is not treated as a deferred tax asset for ratemaking purposes; offset by

§higher planned investment tax credits;

§higher deductions for self-developed software costs;

§$4 million lower income tax expense due to Mexican currency translation and inflation adjustments;

§higher favorable impact from the resolution of prior years' income tax issues; and

§higher exclusions from taxable income of the equity portion of AFUDC.

SDG&E

The increase in SDG&E's effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to:

§the impact of Otay Mesa VIE;

§lower favorable impact from the resolution of prior years' income tax issues; and

§higher difference between book depreciation and normalized tax depreciation, which is not treated as a deferred tax asset for ratemaking purposes; offset by

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

§higher deductions for self-developed software costs.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the increase in SDG&E's effective income tax rate was primarily due to:

§the impact of Otay Mesa VIE;

§a $3 million write-down of the deferred tax assets related to other post employment benefits as a result of a change in U.S. tax law, as we discuss above; and

§higher difference between book depreciation and normalized tax depreciation, which is not treated as a deferred tax asset for ratemaking purposes; offset by

§higher favorable impact from the resolution of prior years' income tax issues;

§higher deductions for self-developed software costs; and

§higher exclusions from taxable income of the equity portion of AFUDC.

SDG&E's results include Otay Mesa VIE, which is consolidated, and therefore, SDG&E's effective income tax rate is impacted by the VIE’s stand-alone effective income tax rate.

PE and SoCalGas

The decrease in PE's and SoCalGas' effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to:

§hig her deductions for self-developed software costs;

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

§lower unfavorable resolution of prior years’ income tax issues.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the increase in PE’s and SoCalGas’ effective income tax rates was primarily due to:

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

§higher deductions for self-developed software costs; and

§higher exclusions from taxable income of the equity portion of AFUDC.

 

NOTE 6. DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES

COMMITTED LINES OF CREDIT

At June 30, 2010, Sempra Energy Consolidated had $4.3 billion in committed lines of credit to provide liquidity and to support commercial paper and variable-rate demand notes, the major components of which we detail below. Available unused credit on the se lines at June 30, 2010 was $3.1 billion. We discuss the terms of our credit agreements in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.


Sempra Energy

Sempra Energy has a $1 billion, three-year syndicated revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2011. Borrowings bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with market index rates and Sempra Energy's credit ratings. At June 30, 2010, Sempra Energy had no outstanding borrowings under the facility.

Sempra Global

Sempra Global has a $2.5 billion, three-year syndicated revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2011. The facility also provides for issuance of up to $300 million of letters of credit on behalf of Sempra Global with the amount of borrowings otherwise available under the facility reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit.

Sempra Energy guarantees Sempra Global’s obligations under the credit facility. Borrowings bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with market index rates and Sempra Energy’s credit ratings. At June 30, 2010, Sempra Global had letters of credit of $7 million outstanding and no outstanding borrowings under the facility. The facility provides support for $860 million of commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2010.

Sempra Utilities

SDG&E and SoCalGas have a combined $800 million, three-year syndicated revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2011. The agreement permits each utility to ind ividually borrow up to $600 million, subject to a combined limit of $800 million for both utilities. It also provides for the issuance of letters of credit on behalf of each utility subject to a combined letter of credit commitment of $200 million for both utilities. The amount of borrowings otherwise available under the facility is reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit.

Borrowings under the facility bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with market index rates and the borrowing utility's credit rating. Each utility’s obligations under the agreement are individual obligations, and a default by one utility would not constitute a default by the other utility or preclude borrowings by, or the issuance of letters of credit on behalf of, the other utility.

At June 30, 2010, SDG&E and SoCalGas had no outstanding borrowings under this facility. SDG&E had $25 million of outstanding letters of credit and $237 million of variable-rate demand notes outstanding supported by this facility at June 30, 2010. The facility also provides support for $63 million of commercial paper outstanding at SDG&E at June 30, 2010.

Available unused credit on these lines at June 30, 2010 was $275 million at SDG&E and $475 million at SoCalGas; SoCalGas' availability reflects the impact of SDG&E's use of the combined credit available on the line.

GUARANTEES

RBS Sempra Commodities

On July 1, 2010, Sempra Energy, RBS and RBS Sempra Commodities completed the sale of certain businesses within the partnership, as we discuss in Note 4. J.P. Morgan is in the process of replacing any guarantees that we have issued in connection with the bus inesses sold to J.P. Morgan Ventures with J.P. Morgan guarantees. In the meantime, J.P. Morgan is indemnifying us for any claims or losses in connection with the guarantees that we issued in connection with the businesses sold to J.P. Morgan Ventures.

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

RBS Sempra Commodities’ net trading liabilities supported by Sempra Energy’s guarantees at June 30, 2010 were $632 million, consisting of guara nteed trading obligations net of collateral. The amount of guaranteed net trading liabilities varies from day to day with the value of the trading obligations and related collateral.

Other Guarantees

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

WEIGHTED AVERAGE INTEREST RATES

At June 30, 2010, the weighted average interest rate on the total short-term debt outstanding at Sempra Energy was 0.47 percent. At June 30, 2010, the weighted average interest rate on the total short-term debt outstanding at SDG&E was 0.24 percent. The weighted average interest rate on the total short-term debt outstanding at Sempra Energy was 0.79 percent at December 31, 2009. The short-term debt outstanding at SDG&E at December 31, 2009 was a non-interest bearing loan at Orange Grove VIE.

LONG-TERM DEBT

In May 2010, SDG&E pu blicly offered and sold $250 million of 5.35-percent first mortgage bonds, maturing in 2040.

SDG&E has two power purchase agreements with peaker plant facilities that went into commercial operation in June 2010 and are accounted for as capital leases. As of June 30, 2010, capital lease obligations for these leases, both with a 25-year term, were $183 million.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS

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

 

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We use derivative instruments primarily to manage exposures arising in the normal course of business. These exposures are commodity market risk and benchmark interest rate risk. Our use of derivatives for these risks is integrated into the economic management of our anticipated revenues, anticipated expenses, assets and liabilities. Derivatives may be effective in mitigating these risks that could lead to declines in anticipated revenues or increases in anticipated expenses, or that our asset values may fall or our liabilities increase. Accordingly, our derivative activity summarized below generally represents an impact that is intended to offset associated revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities that are not presented below.

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

In certain cases, we apply the normal purchase or sale exception to derivative accounting and have other commodity contracts that are not derivatives. These contracts are not recorded at fair value and are therefore excluded from the disclosures below.

HEDGE ACCOUNTING

We may designate a deriva tive as a cash flow hedging instrument if it effectively converts anticipated revenues or expenses to a fixed dollar amount. We may utilize cash flow hedge accounting for derivative commodity instruments and interest rate instruments. Designating cash flow hedges is dependent on the business context in which the instrument is being used, the effectiveness of the instrument in offsetting the risk that a given future revenue or expense item may vary, and other criteria.

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

ENERGY DERIVATIVES

Our market risk is primarily related to natural gas and electricity price volatility and the specific physical locations where we transact. We use energy derivatives to market energy products and manage these risks. The use of energy derivatives in our various businesses depends on the particular energy market, and the operating and regulatory environments applicable to the business.

§The Sempra Utilities use natural gas energy derivatives, on their customers' behalf, with the objective of managing price and basis risks and lowering natural gas costs. These derivatives include fixed price natural gas positions, options, and basis risk instruments, which are either exchange-traded or over-the-counte r financial instruments. This activity is governed by risk management and transacting activity plans that have been filed with and approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Natural gas derivative activities are recorded as commodity costs that are offset by regulatory account balances and are recovered in rates. Net commodity cost impacts on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are reflected in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power or in Cost of Natural Gas.

§SDG&E is allocated and may purchase congestion revenue rights (CRRs), which serve to reduce the regional electricity price volatility risk which may result from local transmission capacity constraints. Unrealized gains and losses do not impact earnings, as they are offset by regulatory account balances. Realized gains and losses associated with CRRs a re recorded in Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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

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

From time to time, our various businesses, including the Sempra Utilities, may use other energy derivatives to hedge exposures such as the price of vehicle fuel. These derivatives are typically accounted for as cash flow hedges.

We summarize net commodity derivative volumes as of June 30, 2010 as follows:

 

Business Unit and Commodity

Volume

 

Sempra Utilities:

 

 

 

SDG&E:

 

 

 

 

Natural gas

44 million MMBtu

(1)

 

 

Congestion revenue rights

(2)

 

SoCalGas - natural gas

< /td>

4 million MMBtu

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sempra Global:

 

 

 

Sempra LNG - natural gas

7 million MMBtu

 

 

Sempra Generation - electric power

1 million MWh

 

(1)

Million British the rmal units

 

(2)

Megawatt hours

 

 

In addition to the amounts noted above, we frequently use commodity derivatives to manage risks associated with the physical locations of our customers, assets and other contractual obligations, such as natural gas purchases.

INTEREST RATE DERIVATIVES

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

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

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

 

Sempra Energy expects that losses of $3 million, which are net of income tax expense, that are currently recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months as the hedged items affect earnings. Actual amounts ultimately reclassified to earnings depend on the commodity prices and interest rates in effect when derivative contracts that are currently outstanding mature. For all forecasted transactions, the maximum term over which we are hedging exposures to the variability of cash flows, excluding interest payments, is 30 months at June 30, 2010. The maximum term over which RBS Sempra Commodities hedges forecasted natural gas purchases and sales is 66 months.

SDG&E and SoCalGas expect that losses of $6 million and $3 million, respectively, which are net of income tax benefit, that are currently recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive I ncome (Loss) related to these cash flow hedges will be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months as the hedged items affect earnings.

The effects of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were:

CONTINGENT FEATURES

For Sempra Energy and SDG&E, certain of our derivative instruments contain credit limits which vary depending upon our credit rating.  Generally, these provisions, if applicable, may reduce our credit limit if a specified credit rating agency reduces our rating. In certain cases, if our credit r ating were to fall below investment grade, the counterparty to these derivative liability instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full collateralization. 

For Sempra Energy, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position at June 30, 2010 is $4 million. As of June 30, 2010, if the credit ratings of Sempra Energy and SDG&E were both reduced below investment grade, $4 million of additional assets could be required to be posted as collateral for these derivative contracts.

For SDG&E, the total fair value of this group of derivative instruments in a net liability position at June 30, 2010 is $1 million. As of June 30, 2010, if the credit rating of SDG&E were reduced below investment grade, $1 million of additional assets could be required to be posted as collateral f or these derivative contracts.

For Sempra Energy, SDG&E, PE and SoCalGas, some of our derivative contracts contain a provision that would permit the counterparty, in certain circumstances, to request adequate assurance of our performance under the contract. Such additional assurance, if needed, is not material and is not included in the amounts above.

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

The fair value of securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2010 was $80 million. The unrealized losses of $8 million were primarily caused by a negative market environment in early 2009. We do not consider these investments to be other than temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2010.

Derivative Positions Net of Cash Collateral

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

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

Fair Value Hierarchy

We discuss the valuation techniques and inputs we use to measure fair value and the definition of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy in Notes 1 and 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. We have not changed the valuation techniques or inputs we use to measure fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The three tables below, by level within the fair value hierarchy, set forth our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. 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 value assets and liabilities, and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. 

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

The determination of fair values, shown in the tables below, incorporates various factors, including but not limited to, the credit standin g of the counterparties involved and the impact of credit enhancements (such as cash deposits, letters of credit and priority interests).

We discuss our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis further in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

NOTE 9. SEMPRA UTILITIES' REGULATORY MATTERS

< font size=2 face=Arial>POWER PROCUREMENT AND RESOURCE PLANNING

Sunrise Powerlink Electric Transmission Line

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

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

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

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

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

After the issuance by the CPUC of its final decision and denial of rehearing applications, in August 2009, the Utility Consumers Action Network (UCAN) and the Center for Biological Diversity/Sierra Club (CBD) jointly filed a petition with the California Supreme Court challenging the CPUC's decision with regard to implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In March 2010, UCAN also filed a petition with the California Court of Appeal (Court of Appeal) challenging the decision on other legal grounds, and the Court of Appeal procedurally granted review of the petition. The UCAN/CBD appeal will be addressed by the California Supreme Court after the Court of Appeal rules on the first petition.

In addition, three appeals of the BLM decision wer e filed by individuals, a community organization, and the Viejas Indian tribe. The Viejas Indian tribe withdrew its appeal and the other two appeals were denied. 

Opponents who filed the BLM appeals also filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief regarding Sunrise Powerlink. The complaint alleges that the BLM failed to properly assess the environmental impacts of the approved Sunrise Powerlink route and the related potential development of renewable resources in east San Diego County and Imperial County. The complaint requests a declaration that the BLM violated Federal law in approving Sunrise Powerlink and an injunction against any construction activities. 

In July 2010, the United States Forest Service (USFS) issued a Record of Decision approving the segment of Sunrise Powerlink's route within its jurisdiction. The USFS decision is also subject to pot ential administrative appeals and judicial challenges.

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

The total amount invested by SDG&E in the Sunrise Powerlink project as of June 30, 2010 was $366 million, which is included in Property, Plant and Equipment on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of Sempra Energy and SDG&E. SDG&E expects the Sunrise Powerlink to be in commercial operation in the second half of 2012.

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


Renewable Energy

Certain California electric retail sellers, including SDG&E, are required to deliver 20 percent of their retail energy sales from renewable energy sources beginning in 2010. The rules governing this requirement, administered by both the CPUC and the California Energy Commission (CEC), are generally known as the Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) Program. In September 2009, the Governor of California issued an Executive Order which set a target for each California utility to procure 33 percent of their annual electric energy requirements from renewable energy sources starting no later than 2020. This Executive Order designates the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as the agency responsible for establishing the compliance rules and regulations.

In 2008, the CPUC issued a decision defining flexible complian ce mechanisms that can be used to defer compliance with or meet the RPS Program mandates in 2010 and beyond. The decision established that a finding by the CPUC of insufficient transmission is a permissible reason to defer compliance with the RPS Program mandates. This decision also confirmed that any renewable energy procured in excess of the established targets for prior years, currently and in the future, could be applied to any procurement shortfalls in the years 2010 and beyond.

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

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

§timely regulatory approval of contracted renewable energy projects;

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

 §successful development and implementation of the renewable energy technologies.

SDG&E believes it will be able to comply with the RPS Program requirements based on its contracting activity and application of the flexible compliance mechanisms. SDG&E's failure to comply with the RPS Program requirements in 2010, or in any subsequent years, could subject it to a CPUC-imposed penalty of 5 cents per kilowatt hour of renewable energy under-delivery up to a maximum penalty of $25 million per year.

Solar Photovoltaic Program

In July 2008, SDG&E filed an application with the CPUC proposing to invest up to $250 million to install solar photovoltaic panels in the San Diego area. These panels could generate approximately 50 MW of direct current power (approximately equivalent to 35 MW of power to the electric grid). In March 2009, SDG&E, UCAN and other interested parties submitted a settlement agreement which, if approved by the CPUC, would, among other provisions, reduce SDG&E's investment in the program to the lesser of $125 million or 26 MW (direct current). The CPUC issued a proposed decision in July 2010, with a final decision expected in the third quarter of 2010. 

East County Substation

< p style="MARGIN:0in 0in 6pt">In August 2009, SDG&E filed an application with the CPUC for authorization to construct the East County Substation Project, which will include construction of a new 500/230/138-kV substation, rebuilding of the existing Boulevard Substation and construction of a new 138-kV transmission line connecting the two substations. The project, estimated to cost approximately $270 million, would allow interconnections from new renewable-generation sources and enhance the reliability of electric service to a number of communities. A CPUC decision on this project is expected in 2011.

GENERAL RATE CASE (GRC)

The CPUC uses a general rate case proceeding to prospectively set rates sufficient to allow the Sempra Utilities to recover their reasonable cost of operations and to provide the opportunity to realize an acceptable rate of return on t heir investments. The Sempra Utilities will file their Notices of Intent (NOI) for the 2012 General Rate Case (2012 GRC) in early August 2010 with the CPUC. These NOIs are preliminary applications that will request revenue requirement increases of $246 million for SDG&E and $282 million for SoCalGas over their respective 2011 authorized revenue. These increases equate to an increase in rates of 7% for SDG&E and 7.4% for SoCalGas over 2010 rates. After the CPUC staff conducts a review of the NOIs, both SDG&E and SoCalGas will file a final application in December 2010 to address any deficiencies identified by the CPUC staff. The CPUC is scheduled to issue a decision on each of the final applications in late 2011, with changes in rates to become effective on January 1, 2012.

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

UTILITY INCENTIVE MECHANISMS

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

We provide additional information regarding these incentive mechanisms in Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, and updates below.

Natural Gas Procurement

In January 2010, the CPUC approved a Gas Cost Incentive Mechanism (GCIM) award of $12 million for SoCalGas' procurement activities during the 12-month period ending March 31, 2009. In June 2010, SoCalGas applied to the CPUC for approval of a GCIM award of $6 million for SoCalGas' procurement activities during the 12-month period ending March 31, 2010. SoCalGas expects a CPUC decision in 2011.

COST OF CAPITAL

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

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

ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE

In April 2010, the CPUC issued a decision approving SoCalGas' application to upgrade approximately six million natural gas meters with an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), subject to certain safeguards to better ensure its cost effectiveness for ratepayers. The approved cost of the project is $1.05 billion (including approximately $900 million in capital investment), with SoCalGas being subject to risk/reward sharing for costs above or below this amount. Installation of the meters is expected to begin in 2012 and continue through 2017.

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

SDG&E REQUEST FOR AUTHORITY TO INVEST IN WIND FARM         

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

If approved by the CPUC, and after the wind farm project has met all of the conditions precedent set forth in the definitive documents, SDG&E would invest in one or more project holding companies in an amount not to exceed 80% of the project costs (not to exceed an aggregate amount of $600 mil lion) upon the initiation of commercial operation of the project. SDG&E expects the project to be in commercial operation in the second half of 2012.

2007 WILDFIRES COST RECOVERY FOR COMPANY FACILITIES

SDG&E filed an application with the CPUC in March 2009 seeking to recover the incremental cost incurred to replace and repair company facilities under CPUC jurisdiction damaged by the October 2007 wildfires. This application was filed in accordance with the CPUC rules governing incremental costs incurred as a result of a declared emergency or catastrophic event. The DRA filed a protest to SDG&E's request for recovery of the incremental costs, requesting that the CPUC stay the proceeding until completion of the fire investigations, which we describe in Note 10. SDG&E and the DRA have reached an agreement regarding the cost recovery request which, if approved by the CPU C, would result in SDG&E recovering $43 million. The settlement agreement was filed with the CPUC in June 2010.

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

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

INSURANCE COST RECOVERY

SDG&E filed an application with the CPUC in August 2009 seeking authorization to recover higher liability insurance premiums, which SDG&E began incurring commencing July 1, 2009, and any losses realized due to higher deductibles associated with the new policies. Evidentiary hearings were held in April 2010 and a final CPUC decision is expected by the end of 2010. SDG&E made the filing under the CPUC’s rules allowing utilities to seek recovery of significant cost increases incurred between GRC filings resulting from unforeseen circumstances. SDG&E is requesting a $29 million revenue requirement for the 2009/2010 policy period for the incremental increase in its liability and wildfire insurance premium costs above what is currently authorized in rates and proposes a mechanism for recovery of future liability insurance costs incurred in the 2010/2011 policy period and the first six months of the 2011/2012 policy period. The CPUC's rules allow a utility to recover costs that meet certain criteria, subject to a $5 million deductible per event. SDG&E has asked that the increase in liability insurance costs for the 2009/2010, 2010/2011 and the first six months of the 2011/2012 policy periods be deemed a single event subject to one $5 million deductible. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, SDG&E's pretax earnings were adversely impacted by $18.5 million due to the incremental insurance premiums associated with its wildfire coverage. 

EXCESS WILDFIRE CLAIMS COST RECOVERY

SDG&E and SoCalGas filed an application, along with other related filings, with the CPUC in August 2009 proposing a new mechanism for the future recovery of all wildfire-related expenses for claims, litigation expenses and insurance premiums that are in excess of amounts authorized by the CPUC for recovery in rates. In connection with these filings, SDG&E is seeking the recovery of costs incurred by SDG&E for the 2007 wildfire losses that are in excess of amounts recovered from its insurance coverage and other potentially responsible third parties, as well as similar costs for future wildfires, if and when incurred. The application for a new mechanism for recovery of costs incurred for future wildfires was made jointly with Edison and PG&E. In July 2 010, the CPUC approved the utilities' requests for separate regulatory accounts to record the subject expenses while the joint utility application is pending before the CPUC. Several parties protested the original application and, in response, the utilities submitted an amended application in July 2010. A proceeding schedule has not yet been established.

We provide additional information about 2007 wildfire litigation costs and their recovery in Note 10.

 

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

At June 30, 2010, Sempra Energy’s reserves for material legal proceedings, on a consolidated basis, were $527 million, of which $150 million is offset by an insurance receivable for wildfire litigation and $117 million is for previously resolved matters. At June 30, 2010, these reserves for SDG&E and SoCalGas were $242 million (also offset by the $150 million insurance receivable) and $13 million, respectively. We provide additional information about pr eviously resolved matters in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

SDG&E 2007 Wildfire Litigation

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

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

Numerous parties have sued SDG&E and Sempra Energy in San Diego County Superior Court seeking recovery of unspecified amounts of damages, including punitive damages, from the three fires. These include owners and insurers of properties that were destroyed or damaged in the fires and public entities seeking recovery of firefighting, emergency response, and environmental costs. They assert various bases for recovery, including inverse condemnation based upon a California Court of Appeal decision finding that another California investor-owned utility was subject to strict liability, without regard to foreseeability or negligence, for property damages resulting from a wildfire ignited by power lines. In June 2009, the trial court ruled that these claims must be pursued in individual lawsuits (rather than as class actions on behalf of all persons who incurred wildfire damages), and the plaintiffs have appealed that ruling. SDG&E has filed cross-complaints against Cox Communications seeking indemnification for any liability that SDG&E may incur that relates to the Guejito fire, as well as cross-complaints against two SDG&E contractors seeking indemnification in connection with the Witch fire. The court has scheduled a Guejito fire trial for three individu al plaintiffs and Cal Fire to begin in March 2011.

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

The wildfire litigation also includes claims of non-insurer plaintiffs for damage to uninsured and underinsured structures, business interruption, evacuation expenses, agricultural damage, emotional harm, personal injuries and other losse s. SDG&E has settled the claims of approximately 350 of these plaintiffs. Of the approximately 2,100 remaining plaintiffs, approximately 1,050 have thus far submitted settlement demands or damage information. Individual and business claims total approximately $570 million and government entity claims total approximately $170 million. SDG&E expects to receive additional settlement demands and damage estimates as settlement negotiations continue.

SDG&E has established reserves for its estimated cost of resolving the claims for economic damages of approximately 1,300 plaintiffs. It expects that its wildfire reserves and amounts paid to resolve wildfire claims will continue to increase as it obtains additional information. SDG&E is unable to reasonably estimate the amount or timing of recoveries from other potentially responsible parties.

SDG&E has concluded that it is probable that it will be permitted to recover from its utility customers substantially all reasonably incurred costs of resolving wildfire claims in excess of its $1.1 billion of liability insurance coverage and any amounts recovered from other potentially responsible parties. Accordingly, although recovery from utility customers will require future regulatory actions as we discuss in Note 9, SDG&E has recorded a regulatory asset in an amount substantially equal to the aggregate amount it has paid or reserved for payment for the resolution of wildfire claims and related costs in excess of its liability insurance coverage. SDG&E will increase the amount of the regulatory asset as additional amounts are paid or reserves are recorded and reduce it by any amounts recovered from other potentially responsible parties. As of June 30, 2010, the amount of the regulatory asset was $191 million.

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

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

Sempra LNG  < /em>

Sempra LNG has been engaged in a long-running land dispute relating to property adjacent to its Energía Costa Azul LNG terminal near Ensenada, Mexico. The adjacent property is not required by environmental or other regulatory permits for the operation of the terminal. A claimant to the adjacent property has nonetheless asserted that his health and safety are endangered by the operation of the facility. In June 2010, a Mexican federal appeals court revoked a district court order, issued at the behest of the claimant, directing Mexican regulatory authorities to provisionally suspend authorizations for the operation of the LNG terminal. No terminal permits were affected as a result of these proceedings and the terminal has continued to operate normally. The Mexican district court is expected to conduct additional proceedings regarding the claimant’s assertions and whether the terminal’s permits should be modified or revoked.

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

Energy Crisis Litigation

Sempra Energy, RBS Sempra Commodities and Sempra Generation have reached an agreement in principle for a comprehensive settlement to resolve substantially all of the energy crisis litigation described below for a total payment of $410 million. The matters to be resolved by the settlement would include the multiple actions brought by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and other parties with respect to the validity, pricing and operation of Sempra Gene ration’s contract with the DWR and the FERC refund and manipulation proceedings against RBS Sempra Commodities. Any settlement agreements would be subject to the approval of the FERC.

We describe the matters to be resolved below under "DWR Contract," "FERC Refund Proceedings," and "FERC Manipulation Investigation." We expect the settlement of $410 million to be funded largely from previously recorded reserves and receivables at RBS Sempra Commodities. Sempra Energy has also recorded an additional pretax charge of $159 million in the first quarter of 2010 to provide for the remainder of the settlement, including $139 million at Sempra Generation and $20 million at Sempra Commodities.

DWR Contract

In February 2002, the California Energy Oversight Board (CEOB) and the CPUC filed challenges at the FERC to the DWR's contracts with Sempra Generation and other p ower suppliers. After the FERC upheld the contracts in 2003, the CEOB and CPUC appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals) and challenged the FERC's application of the Mobile-Sierra doctrine's "public interest" standard of review to the contracts. In June 2008, the United States Supreme Court (Supreme Court) ruled that the FERC was correct to apply the Mobile-Sierra doctrine (which presumes that contract rates are just and reasonable) absent a demonstration that one of the contracting parties engaged in unlawful market manipulation that directly affected contract rates. The Supreme Court ruled that the FERC should clarify its findings on this issue and consider whether the contract rates seriously harm the public interest. The FERC has not yet acted.

At various times since the contract's inception, Sempra Generation and the DWR have also had disputes regarding the meaning of terms and performance of the agr eement under which Sempra Generation sells electricity to the DWR. In 2002, in a state civil action, the DWR sought to terminate its contract with Sempra Generation claiming misrepresentation and breach of contract, and seeking rescission, damages, injunctive and declaratory relief, and $100 million in punitive damages. After various procedural decisions and appeals, on November 30, 2009, a San Diego jury returned a verdict denying all of the DWR's claims and requested relief, and granting all of Sempra Generation's requested relief. The DWR has appealed the judgment.

In September 2008, the DWR initiated an arbitration proceeding against Sempra Generation, alleging that Sempra Generation had breached the parties' agreement in various operational respects, and violated the order issued by an earlier arbitration panel relating to the amount refunded to the DWR and the manner in which Sempra Generation operates. The DWR seeks approximately $80 million in dam ages and an order terminating the contract. Arbitration hearings are scheduled for January 2011.


FERC Refund Proceedings

The FERC is investigating prices charged by various electric suppliers to buyers in the California Power Exchange (PX) and Independent System Operator (ISO) markets. In March 2003, the FERC ordered suppliers to pay refunds on certain sales made during the October 2, 2000 through June 20, 2001 time period.

Various parties, including Sempra Commodities, appealed the FERC's order to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In August 2006, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that the FERC had properly established October 2, 2000 through June 20, 2001 as the refund period and had properly excluded certain short-term bilat eral transactions between sellers and the DWR from the refund proceedings. However, the court also held that the FERC erred in excluding certain multi-day transactions from the refund proceedings. Finally, while the court upheld the FERC's decision not to extend the refund proceedings to the summer period (prior to October 2, 2000), it found that the FERC should have considered other remedies for tariff violations that are alleged to have occurred prior to October 2, 2000. The FERC is in the process of addressing these issues on remand.

In August 2007, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision reversing and remanding FERC orders declining to provide refunds in a related proceeding regarding short-term bilateral sales up to one month in the Pacific Northwest. The court found that some of the short-term sales between the DWR and various sellers (including Sempra Commodities) that had previously been excluded from the refund proceeding involving s ales in the ISO and PX markets in California were within the scope of the Pacific Northwest refund proceeding. The FERC has not yet acted on the court's order.

In a separate complaint filed with the FERC in 2002, the California Attorney General contended that electricity sellers had failed to comply with the FERC's quarterly reporting requirements. The Attorney General requested that the FERC order refunds from suppliers. The FERC dismissed the complaint and instead ordered sellers to restate their reports. After an appeal by the California Attorney General, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals stated that failure to file transaction-specific quarterly reports gave the FERC authority to order refunds with respect to jurisdictional sellers. The FERC is in the process of addressing these issues on remand.

In May 2009, the California Attorney General filed another complaint at the FERC against various selle rs, including Sempra Commodities. In this complaint, the Attorney General seeks to collect for alleged overcharges related to short-term bilateral transactions between sellers and the DWR from January 18, 2001 through June 20, 2001. These transactions also have been the subject of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' orders in the proceedings described above. The FERC has not yet acted on the complaint.

In the cases described above, the FERC could order additional refunds or the disgorgement of profits. RBS Sempra Commodities has reserves for its estimate of the effect of the FERC's revision of the benchmark prices it will use to calculate refunds and other related developments. Pursuant to the agreements related to the formation of RBS Sempra Commodities, we have indemnified RBS related to these proceedings should the liability from the final resolution be greater than the reserves.

FERC Manipulation Investigat ion

The FERC has separately investigated whether there was manipulation of short-term energy markets in the western United States that would constitute violations of applicable tariffs and warrant disgorgement of associated profits.

In June 2003, the FERC ordered a number of entities, including Sempra Commodities, to show why they should not disgorge profits from certain transactions between January 1, 2000 and June 20, 2001 that are asserted to have constituted gaming and/or anomalous market behavior under the California ISO and/or PX tariffs. In October 2003, Sempra Commodities agreed to pay $7.2 million in full resolution of these investigations. That liability was recorded as of December 31, 2003. The Sempra Commodities settlement was approved by the FERC in August 2004 and reaffirmed in November 2008. The California parties have appealed the FERC's orders to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Other Litigation

Sempra Energy and several subsidiaries, along with three oil and natural gas companies, the City of Beverly Hills, and the Beverly Hills Unified School District, are defendants in a toxic tort lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court by approximately 1,000 plaintiffs. This lawsuit claims that various emissions resulted in cancer or fear of cancer. We have submitted the case to our insurers, who have reserved their rights with respect to coverage. In November 2006, the court granted the defendants' summary judgment motions based on lack of medical causation for the 12 initial plaintiffs scheduled to go to trial first. The court also granted summary judgment excluding punitive damages. The court has stayed the case as to the remaining plaintiffs pending the appeal of the rulings. A mediation occurred in June 2010, after which the plaintiffs& #146; counsel agreed to recommend a settlement of the lawsuits as to Sempra Energy and its subsidiaries for an amount that is not significant. Any such settlement will require approval by each of the plaintiffs. If approval is obtained, finalization of the settlement is expected to occur within six months.

RBS Sempra Commodities assumed litigation reserves related to Sempra Commodities, however, we have indemnified RBS should the liabilities from the final resolution of these matters be greater than the reserves.

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

Wildfire Reserves and Insurance Receivables

In 2009 and 2010, as liabilities for wildfire litigation have become reasonably estimable, SDG&E has recorded related reserves as a current liability. The impact of this liability is offset by a current receivable resulting from SDG&E’s $1.1 billion of liability insurance and, for reserves in excess of the insurance coverage, the recognition of a regulatory asset, as discussed above. There was no effect on SDG&E's or Sempra Energy's 2009 earnings and no significant effect on their 2010 earnings from the recording of the reserves. At June 30, 2010, wildfire litigation reserves were $241 million and the receivable from SDG&E's insurers was $150 million.

NUCLEAR INSURANCE

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

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

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

CONTRACTUAL CO MMITMENTS

Sempra Energy Consolidated

In the first six months of 2010, significant increases in commitments at Sempra Energy were

§the issuance of $250 million of 5.35-percent mortgage bonds maturing in 2040 at SDG&E;

§$431 million for purchased-power contracts at SDG&E;

§$223 million for the costs associated with nuclear fuel fabrication at SONGS;

§$78 million at SDG&E for the engi neering, material procurement and construction costs associated with the Sunrise Powerlink project;

§$45 million for construction and infrastructure improvements for gas transmission and distribution operations at SoCalGas; and

§$38 million at Sempra Pipelines & Storage for natural gas contracts.

The future payments for the contractual commitments listed above are expected to be $166 million for 2010, $114 million for 2011, $89 million for 2012, $83 million for 2013, $69 million for 2014 and $945 million thereafter. These amounts include expected interest payments on the mortgage bonds using the stated interest rate.

Reserves for Sempra Energy and SDG& E wildfire litigation are discussed above in “SDG&E 2007 Wildfire Litigation.” Reserves for Sempra Energy related to the FERC and DWR contract settlement litigation are discussed above in “Energy Crisis Litigation.”

Changes to SoCalGas’ natural gas purchase and pipeline capacity commitments and Sempra LNG’s natural gas purchase commitments are discussed below.

At December 31, 2009, Sempra LNG had LNG purchase agreements with Tangguh PSC Contractors and Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Company. We discuss these agreements further in Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

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

Sempra LNG’s commitments under all LNG purchase agreements, reflecting the additional recent agreement with GGLNG, changes in forward prices since December 31, 2009, and actual transactions for the first six months of 2010, are expected to decrease by $854 million in 2010, increase by $212 million in 2011, $268 million in 2012 and $43 million in 2013, and decrease by $137 million in 2014 and $474 million thereafter compared to December 31, 2009.

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

SDG&E

In the first six months of 2010, significant increases to contractual commitments at SDG&E were the issuance of $250 million of 5.35-percent mortgage bonds maturing in 2040, $431 million for purchased-power contracts, $223 million for the costs associated with nuclear fuel fabrication at SONGS and $78 million for the engineering, material procurement and construction costs associated with the Sunrise Powerlink project.

The future payments for these contractual commitments are expected to be $96 million for 2010, $101 million for 2011, $89 million for 2012, $83 million for 2013, $69 million for 2014 and $945 million thereafter. These amounts include expected interest payments on the mortgage bonds using the stated interest rate. 

SoCalGas

In the first six months of 2010, significant increases to contractual commitments at SoCalGas were $45 million for construction and infrastructure improvements for gas transmission and distribution operations. The future payments for these contractual commitments are expected to be $32 million for 2010 and $13 million for 2011.

SoCalGas’ natural gas purchase and pipeline capacity commitments have decreased by $516 million since December 31, 2009. The decrease, primarily due to a reduction of $816 million based on lower natural gas forward prices and actual transactions for the first six months of 2010, is offset by new natural gas purchase and pipeline capacity contracts of $300 million. Net future payments are therefore expected to decrease by $617 million for 2010 and increase by $64 million for 2011, $12 million for 2012, $11 million for 2013, $10 million fo r 2014 and $4 million thereafter compared to December 31, 2009.

CAPITAL LEASES

SDG&E has two power purchase agreements with peaker plant facilities that went into commercial operation in June 2010 and are accounted for as capital leases. As of June 30, 2010, capital lease obligations for these leases, both with a 25-year term, were $183 million.

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

NOTE 11. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have six separately managed reportable segments, as follows:

1.< /font>       SDG&E provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County.

 

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

 

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

In February 2010, Sempra Energy, RBS and the partnership entered into an agreement to sell certain businesses within the partnership, which was consummated on July 1, 2010. We discuss this transaction and other matters concerning the partnership in Note 4 above and in Notes 4 and 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. We and RBS continue to engage in an active sales process for the remaining partnership businesses.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

We evaluate each segment's performance based on its contribution to Sempra Energy's reported earnings. The Sempra Utilities operate in essentially separate service territories, under separate regulatory frameworks and rate structures set by the CPUC. The Sempra Utilities' operations are based on rates set by the CPUC and the FERC. We describe the accounting policies of our segments in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

In the first quarter of 2010, Sempra LNG became a reportable segment. We have revised segment disclosures for 2009 to reflect this.

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

Amounts labeled as "a ll other" in the following tables consist primarily of parent organizations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We discuss the following in Results of Operations:

§Overall results of our operations and factors affecting those results

§Our business unit results

§Significant changes in revenues, costs and earnings between periods

In the three months ended June 30, 2010, our earnings increased by $24 million (12%) to $222 million primarily due to improved results at Sempra Pipelines & Storage, Sempra LNG and Sempra Generation. Diluted earnings per share for the three-month period increased by $0.09 (11%) per share to $0.89 per share, primarily from the higher earnings.

In the six months ended June 30, 2010, our earnings decreased by $186 million (36%) to $328 million primarily due to losses at Sempra Commodities and Sempra Generation in 2010 compared to earnings in 2009. In the first quarter of 2010, Sempra Generation and Sempra Commodities recorded after-tax litigation expense of $84 million and $12 million, respectively, related to the agreement in principle to settle certain energy crisis litigation, as we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. Diluted earnings per share for the six months decreased by $0.78 (37%) per share to $1.31 per share, primarily from the lower earnings in 2010.

Earnings in both the three-month and six-month periods of 2009 were negatively impacted by an after-tax asset write-off of $64 million related to assets at Sempra Pipelines & Storage’s Liberty Gas Storage (Liberty) project.

The following table shows our earnings by business unit, which we discuss below in "Business Unit Results."

BUSINESS UNIT RESULTS

The following section is a discussion of earnings by business unit, as it appears in the table above.

 

EARNINGS BY BUSINESS UNIT – SEMPRA UTILITIES

(Dollars in millions)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SDG&E

SDG&E business unit earnings were

§$75 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 ($76 million before preferred dividends)

§$70 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 ($71 million before preferred dividends)

§$158 million for the first six months of 2010 ($160 million before preferred dividends)

§$169 million for the first six months of 2009 ($171 million before preferred dividends)

The increase of $5 million (7%) in the three months ended June 30, 2010 was due to:

§$9 million from the resolution of regulatory matters in 2009 that adversely impacted earnings;

§$5 million favorable impact from a decrease in litigation reserves in 2010;

§$4 million higher California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) authorized margin in excess of higher operation and maintenance expenses; and

§$2 million higher electric transmission margin; offset by

§$10 million due to the favorable resolution of prior years’ income tax issues in 2009; and

§$6 million higher liability insurance premiums for wildfire coverage.


The decrease of $11 million (7%) in the first six months of 2010 was due to:

§$11 million higher liability insurance premiums for wildfire coverage;

§$10 million due to the favorable resolution of prior years’ income tax issues in 2009;

§$5 million due to the favorable resolution of litigation in 2009; and

§$3 million due to the write-down of deferred tax assets as a result of the change in U.S. tax law regarding the Medicare Part D subsidy, which we discuss in "Changes in Revenues, Costs and Earnings – Income Taxes" below and in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein; offset by

§$9 million from the resolution of regulatory matters in 2009 that adversely impacted earnings; and

§$5 million higher electric transmission margin.

SoCalGas

SoCalGas business unit earnings were

§$69 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 ($70 million before preferred dividends)

§$65 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009 ($66 million before preferred dividends)

§$134 million for the first six months of 2010 ($135 million before preferred dividends)

§$124 million for the first six months of 2009 ($125 million before preferred dividends)

The increase of $4 million (6%) in the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to a lower effective tax rate in 2010, which we discuss in “Changes in Revenues, Costs and Earnings – Income Taxes” below.

The increase of $10 million (8%) in the first six months of 2010 was due to:

§$8 million higher CPUC authorized margin in excess of higher operation and maintenance expenses;

§$4 million net favorable earnings impact primarily due to the effect of self-developed software costs on the effective income tax rate;

§$3 million higher regulatory awards; and

§$3 million lower net bad debt expense; offset by

§$13 million due to the write-down of deferred tax assets associated with the Medicare Part D subsidy, which we discuss below.

 


 

EARNINGS (LOSSES) BY BUSINESS UNIT – SEMPRA GLOBAL

(Dollars in millions)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sempra Commodities

Sempra Commodities recorded business unit earnings (losses) of:

§$0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010

§$85 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009

§$(5) million for the first six months of 2010

§$199 million for the first six months of 2009

The change in earnings for both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 was due to approximately break-even performance in 2010 from the RBS Sempra Commodities LLP joint venture compared to positive earnings in 2009, primarily due to lower results from crude oil, oil p roducts and natural gas, and higher employee retention costs.

Sempra Generation

Sempra Generation recorded business unit earnings (losses) of:

§$48 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010

§$33 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009

§$(5) million for the first six months of 2010

§$76 million for the first six months of 2009


The increase of $15 million (45%) in the three months ended June 30, 2010 was due to:

§$22 million higher renewable energy tax credits due to additional investments in the Copper Mountain Solar project and adjustments to the expected completion date of the project; and

§$1 million income tax benefit related to Mexican currency translation and inflation adjustments in 2010 compared to $4 million income tax expense in 2009; offset by

§$7 million lower earnings from operations, p rimarily from increased scheduled plant maintenance and associated down time in 2010, and expenses and associated down time from earthquake damage to our Mexicali power plant; and

§$3 million mark-to market losses on forward contracts with RBS Sempra Commodities and other counterparties in 2010 compared to $3 million mark-to-market gains in 2009.

The change in the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to:

§$85 million in litigation expense related to an agreement in principle to settle energy crisis litigation associated with the DWR contract, as we discuss in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein; and

§$19 million lower earnings from operations, primarily from increased scheduled plant maintenance and associated down time in 2010, and expenses and associated down time from earthquake damage to our Mexicali power plant in the second quarter of 2010; offset by

§$25 million renewable energy tax credits in 2010.

Sempra Pipelines & Storage

Sempra Pipelines & Storage recorded business unit earnings (losses) of:

§$39 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010

§$(27) million in the three months ended June 30, 2009

§$77 million for the first six months of 2010

§$10 million for the first six months of 2009

The improvement in earnings in both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to:

§$64 million lower earnings in 2009 from a write-off of assets at Liberty; and

§$5 million related to the El Paso pipelines acquisition in April 2010.

Sempra LNG

Sempra LNG recorded earnings (losses) of:

§$13 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010

§$(12) million in the three months ended June 30, 2009

§$45 million for the first six months of 2010

§$(19) million for the first six months of 2009

The improvement in earnings of $25 million in the three months end ed June 30, 2010 was primarily due to higher earnings from operations.

The improvement in earnings of $64 million in the first six months of 2010 was primarily from higher earnings from operations, of which $11 million relates to revenues that are not expected to recur over the long-term related to contractual counterparty obligations for non-delivery of cargoes. Results for 2010 also include $9 million mark-to-market gains.


Parent and Other

Losses for Parent and Other were

§$22 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010

§$16 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009

§$76 million for the first six months of 2010

§$45 million for the first six months of 2009

The increase in losses of $6 million (38%) in the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to $15 million of investment gains in 2009 on dedicated assets in support of our executive retirement and deferred compensation plans due to improved market conditions. This amount is net of the change in deferred compensation liability associated with the investments.

The increase in losses of $31 million (69%) in the first six months of 2010 was primarily due to:

§$32 million higher income tax expense; and

§$12 million higher net interest expense; offset by

§$9 million lower general and administrative expenses.

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, PE and SoCalGas.

Sempra Utilities Revenues

The current regulatory framework permits the cost of natural gas purchased for core customers (primarily residential and small commercial and industrial customers) to be passed on to customers substantially as incurred. However, SoCalGas' Gas Cost Incentive Mechanism (GCIM) provides SoCalGas the opportunity to share in the savings and/or costs from buying natural gas for its core customers at prices below or above market-based monthly benchmarks. This mechanism permits full recovery of costs incurred when average purchase costs are within a price range around a monthly benchmark price. Any higher costs or savings realized outside this range are shared between the core customers and SoCalGas. We provide further discussion in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

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

Sempra Utilities: Natural Gas Revenues and Cost of Natural Gas

The tables below show natural gas revenues for Sempra Energy, SDG&E and SoCalGas for the six-month periods ended June 30. The Sempra Energy Consolidated amounts reflect SDG&E and SoCalGas revenues, net of intercompany transactions. Because the cost of natural gas is recovered in rates, changes in the cost are reflected in the changes in revenues. In addition to the change in market prices, the average cost of natural gas recorded during a period is impacted by the difference between customer billings and recorded or CPUC-authorized costs.  These differences are re quired to be balanced over time, resulting in over- and undercollected regulatory balancing accounts.

(1) We discuss balancing accounts and their effects in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, our natural gas revenues increased by $144 million (18%) to $926 million, and the cost of natural gas increased by $110 million (44%) to $359 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, our natural gas revenues increased by $403 million (22%) to $2.3 billion, and the cost of natural gas increased by $328 million (42%) to $1.1 billion. The primary factor contributing to the increased natural gas revenues and cost of natural gas in both the second quarter and year-to-date periods was higher natural gas prices in 2010. We discuss the increase in the cost of natural gas individually for SDG&E and SoCalGas below.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, SoCalGas' revenues increased by $140 million (20%) to $834 million, and the cost of natural gas increased by $104 million (49%) to $318 million. The increase in revenues was primarily due to:

§the increase in cost of natural gas, which was caused primarily by higher natural gas prices, as we discuss b elow;

§$22 million higher recovery of CPUC-authorized costs, which revenues are fully offset in operation and maintenance expenses; and

§$13 million higher authorized base margin in accordance with the CPUC's 2008 General Rate Case (GRC) decision.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, SoCalGas’ revenues increased by $402 million (25%) to $2.0 billion, and the cost of natural gas increased by $323 million (48%) to $992 million. The increase in revenues was primarily due to:

§the increase in cost of natural gas, which was caused primarily by higher natural gas prices, as w e discuss below;

§$35 million higher recovery of CPUC-authorized costs, which revenues are fully offset in operation and maintenance expenses; and

§$26 million higher authorized base margin in accordance with the CPUC's 2008 GRC decision.

SoCalGas' average cost of natural gas for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was $4.32 per Mcf compared to $3.10 per Mcf for the corresponding period in 2009, a 39-percent increase of $1.22 per Mcf, resulting in higher revenues and cost of $90 million. For the first six months of 2010, SoCalGas' average cost of natural gas was $5.23 per Mcf compared to $3.63 per Mcf for the corresponding period in 2009, a 44-percent increase of $1.60 per Mcf, resulting in higher revenu es and cost of $303 million.

Sempra Energy and SDG&E: Electric Revenues and Cost of Electric Fuel and Purchased Power

The table below shows electric revenues for Sempra Energy and SDG&E. Sempra Energy amounts are shown after eliminating intercompany transactions. Because the cost of electricity is substantially recovered in rates, changes in the cost are reflected in the changes in revenues.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, electric revenues increased by $52 million (10%) to $586 million at Sempra Energy and by $54 million (10%) to $589 million at SDG&E. The increase in revenues was primarily due to:

§$22 million increase in the cost of electric fuel and purchased power;

§$13 million higher authorized transmission and electric generation margins;

§$7 million higher authorized base margin on electric distribution; and

§$6 million higher recoverable expenses that are fully offset in operation and maintenance expenses.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, electric revenues increased by $63 million (6%) at Sempra Energy to $1.1 billion, and by $64 million (6%) at SDG&E to $1.2 billion. The increase in revenues was primarily due to:

§$23 million higher authorized transmission and electric generation margins;

§$19 million increase in the cost of electric fuel and purchased power;

§$16 million higher recoverable expenses that are fully offset in operation and maintenance expenses; and

§$13 million higher authorized base margin on electric distribution.

The cost of electric fuel and purchased power at both Sempra Energy and SDG&E did not change for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, but included the following offsetting variances:

§$22 million increase in the cost of electric fuel and purchased power resulting from an increase in power procurement costs, both from higher prices and volumes, and balanced in revenues above; offset by

§$21 million decrease in the amount of power purchased from third-party generators as a result of the start up of new power generation at Otay Mesa VIE, which commenced commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2009. The lower cost of electric fuel and purchased power is partially offset by operating costs and depreciation for Otay Mesa VIE.

At both Sempra Energy and SDG&E, the cost of electric fuel and purchased power decreased by $23 million (8%) to $277 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily due to:

§$40 million decrease in the amount of power purchased from third-party generators as a result of the start up of new power generation at Otay Mesa VIE; offset by

§$19 million increase in the cost of electric fuel and purchased power resulting from an increase in power procurement costs, both from higher prices and volumes, and balanced in revenues above.

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

Sempra Global and Parent Revenues and Cost of Sales

In the three months ended June 30, 2010, our Sempra Global and Parent revenues increased by $123 million (33%) to $496 million. During the six mo nths ended June 30, 2010, our Sempra Global and Parent revenues increased by $279 million (33%) to $1.1 billion. The increases in both the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010 were due to higher revenues at Sempra LNG, primarily due to increased marketing operations and the start up of operations at its Cameron LNG receipt terminal, partially offset by lower revenues at Sempra Pipelines & Storage due to the completion of the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) contract in 2009. At the completion of the contract, Sempra LNG began supplying the CFE under a separate contract ending December 2022.

In the three months ended June 30, 2010, our cost of natural gas, electric fuel and purchased power increased by $70 million (37%) to $257 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, our cost of natural gas, electric fuel and purchased power increased by $140 million (31%) to $595 million. The increases in both periods were primarily associated with the higher revenues at Sempra LNG, offset partially by lower costs at Sempra Pipelines & Storage resulting primarily from the completion of the CFE contract.

Litigation Expense

Sempra Energy Consolidated

We recorded $167 million in litigation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a favorable litigation adjustment of $3 million in the corresponding period of 2009. The litigation expense in 2010 included $161 million related to the agreement in principle to settle certain energy crisis litigation.


Other Operation and Maintenance

Sempra Energy Consolidated

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our other operation and maintenance expenses increased by $34 million (6%) to $616 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our other operation and maintenance expenses increased by $87 million (8%) to $1.2 billion. The increases were primarily due to higher operation and maintenance expenses at SDG&E and SoCalGas.

We discuss the changes in operation and maintenance expenses at SDG&E and SoCalGas below.

Operation and Maintenance

SDG&E

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, SDG&E's operation and maintenance expenses increased by $5 million (2%) to $237 million. The increase was primarily due to:

§$13 million higher expenses recoverable in revenues as incurred; offset by

§$7 million decrease in litigation reserves in 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, SDG&E's operation and maintenance expenses increased by $56 million (14%) to $469 million. The increase was due to:

§$27 million higher expenses recoverable in revenues as incurred;

§$20 million higher other operational and maintenance costs, including $15 million of higher liability insurance premiums for wildfire coverage and $6 million at Otay Mesa VIE due to commencement of plant operati on in October 2009; and

§$8 million favorable resolution of litigation in 2009.

SoCalGas

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, SoCalGas' operation and maintenance expenses increased by $28 million (11%) to $293 million. The increase was due primarily to $22 million higher expenses recoverable in revenues as incurred.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, SoCalGas’ operation and maintenance expenses increased by $39 million (8%) to $555 million due primarily to $35 million higher expenses recoverable in revenues as incurred.

Write-off of Long-lived Assets

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

Equity Earnings (Losses) Before Income Taxes

Sempra Energy Consolidated

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, equity losses from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities were $16 million compared to equity earnings of $126 million in the corresponding period of 2009.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, equity losses from our investment in RBS Sempra Commodities were $9 million compared to equity earnings of $279 million in the corresponding period of 2009. < /p>

We provide additional information about the determination and allocation of this investment's earnings in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.


Other Income (Expense), Net

Sempra Energy Consolidated

In the three months ended June 30, 2010, other income, net, decreased by $62 million (89%) to $8 million primarily due to:

§$25 million in losses on interest rate swaps in 2010 at Otay Mesa VIE compared to $20 million in gains in 2009; and

§a $35 million decrease in gains from investment activity related to our executive retirement and deferred compensation plans in 2010; offset by

§a $10 million gain recognized on an interest rate instrument at Parent and Other.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, other income, net, decreased by $57 million (78%) to $16 million primarily due to:

§$34 million in losses on interest rate swaps in 2010 at Otay Mesa VIE compared to $30 million in gains in 2009; and

§a $15 million decrease in gains from investment activi ty related to our executive retirement and deferred compensation plans in 2010; offset by

§a $10 million gain recognized on an interest rate instrument at Parent and Other.

SDG&E

The changes in SDG&E’s other income (expense), net, in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010, was primarily due to the losses from interest rate swaps at Otay Mesa VIE in 2010 compared to gains in 2009, as we discuss above.

Interest Expense

Sempra Energy Consolidated

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our interest expense increased by $24 million (30%) to $103 million. The increase included:

§$21 million higher interest expense, primarily from long-term debt issued in 2009 and 2010 at Parent and Other and SDG&E; and

§$10 million lower capitalized interest, including $12 million at Sempra LNG due to completion of construction projects; offset by

§$10 million lower interest expense from maturities of debt at Parent and Other.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, our interest expense increased by $51 million (32%) to $212 million. The increase was primarily due to:

§$51 million higher interest expense, primarily from long-term debt issued in 2009 and 2010 at Parent and Other and SDG&E; and

§$23 million lower capitalized interest, primarily at Sempra LNG due to completion of construction projects; offset by

§$17 million lower interest expense from maturities of debt at Parent and Other; and

§$12 million lower short-term debt interest expense, primarily from lower average commercial paper borrowings, lower interest rates at Parent and Other and reduced interest expense related to energy crisis litigation reserves.

Sempra Energy Consolidated

The decrease in income tax expense in the three months ended June 30, 2010 was due to both lower pretax income and a lower effective income tax rate. The lower effective income tax rate was primarily due to:

§$5 million tax benefit in 2010 compared to $20 million tax expense in 2009 due to Mexican currency translation and inflation adjustments;

§higher planned investment tax credits;

§higher self-developed software costs, which are deductible for income tax purposes but capitalized for book purposes; and

§higher exclusions from taxable income of the equity portion of allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC); offset by

§lo wer pretax income in countries with lower statutory rates;

§lower favorable impact from the resolution of prior years' income tax issues; and

§higher difference between book depreciation and normalized tax depreciation, which is not treated as a deferred tax asset for ratemaking purposes.

In the six months ended June 30, 2010, Sempra Energy's income tax expense decreased primarily due to lower pretax income, offset slightly by a higher effective income tax rate. The higher effective income tax rate was primarily due to:

§lower pretax income in countries with lower statutory rates;

§a $16 million write-down of the deferred tax assets related to other post employment benefits, as a result of a change in U.S. tax law that eliminates a future deduction, starting in 2013, for retiree healthcare funded by the Medicare Part D subsidy; and

§higher difference between book depreciation and normalized tax depreciation, which is not treated as a deferred tax asset for ratemaking purposes; offset by

§higher planned investment tax credits;

§higher deductions for self-developed software costs;

§$4 million lower income tax expense due to Mexican currency translation and inflation adjustments;

§higher favorable impact from the resolution of prior years' income tax issues; and

§higher exclusions from taxable income of the equity portion of AFUDC.

SDG&E

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

§the impact of Otay Mesa VIE;

§lower favorable impact from the resolution of prior years' income tax issues; and

§higher difference between book depreciation and normalized tax depreciation, which is not treated as a deferred tax asset for ratemaking purposes; offset by

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

§higher deductions for self-developed software costs.

In the six months ended June 30, 2010, SDG&E's income tax expense decreased primarily from lower pretax income, partially offset by a higher effective income tax rate resulting primarily from:

§the impact of Otay Mesa VIE;

§a $3 million write-down of the deferred tax assets related to other post employment benefits, as a result of a change in U.S. tax law, as we discuss above; and

§higher difference between book depreciation and normalized tax depreciation, which is not treated as a deferred tax asset for ratemaking purposes; offset by

§higher favorable impact from the resolution of prior years' income tax issues;

§higher deductions for self-developed software costs; and

§higher exclusions from taxable income of the equity portion of AFUDC.

SDG&E's results include Otay Mesa VIE, which is consolidated, and therefore, SDG&E's effective income tax rate is impacted by the VIE’s stand-alone effective income tax rate.

PE and SoCalGas

The decrease in PE's and SoCalGas' income tax expense in the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to lower effective income tax rates . The lower effective income tax rates were primarily due to:

§higher deductions for self-developed software costs;

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

§lower unfavorable resolution of prior years’ income tax issues.

In the six months ended June 30, 2010, income tax expense increased at PE and SoCalGas primarily due to higher pretax income and higher effective income tax rates resulting primarily from:

§a $13 mi llion write-down of the deferred tax assets related to other post employment benefits, as a result of a change in U.S. tax law, as we discuss above; offset by

§higher deductions for self-developed software costs; and

§higher exclusions from taxable income of the equity portion of AFUDC.

Losses (Earnings) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Sempra Energy Consolidated

Losses attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $8 million (67%) in the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily due to:

§$25 million in losses on interest rate swaps in 2010 at Otay Mesa VIE compared to $20 million in gains in 2009; offset by

§$33 million associated with the write-off of assets at Liberty in 2009.

Losses attributable to noncontrolling interests increased by $23 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010. The change was primarily due to:

§$34 million in losses on interest rate swaps in 2010 at Otay Mesa VIE compared to $30 million in gains in 2009; offset by

§$33 million associated with the write-off of assets at Liberty in 2009.

SDG&E

Losses attributable to noncontrolling interests were $21 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to earnings of $20 million in the corresponding period of 2009. The change was primarily due to $25 million in losses on interest rate swaps in 2010 at Otay Mesa VIE compared to $20 million in gains in 2009.

Losses attributable to noncontrolling interests were $29 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to earnings of $27 million in the corresponding period of 2009. The change was primarily due to $34 million in losses on interest rate swaps in 2010 at Otay Mesa VIE compared to $30 million in gains in 2009.

Earnings

We discuss variations in Sempra Energy's earnings by business unit above in "Business Unit Results."

 

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

We expect our cash flows from operations to fund a substantial portion of our capital expenditures and dividends.  In addition, we may meet our cash requirements through the issuance of short-term and long-term debt and the proceeds from the transaction to sell certain businesses within RBS Sempra Commodities, as we discuss below.

Our committed lines of credit provide liquidity and support commercial paper.  They expire in August 2011.  At Sempra Energy, they are syndicated broadly among 20 different banks and at the Sempra Utilities, among 17 different banks.  No single bank has greater than an 11-percent share in any agreement.

The table below shows the amount of available funds at June 30, 2010:

Borrowings on the shared line of credit at SDG&E and SoCalGas are limited to $600 million for each utility and $800 million in total. SDG&E's available funds reflect lette rs of credit outstanding of $25 million, variable-rate demand notes outstanding of $237 million and commercial paper of $63 million supported by the line.  SoCalGas' availability reflects the impact of SDG&E's use of the combined credit available on the line.

Sempra Energy Consolidated

We believe that these available funds and cash flows from operations, distributions from equity method investments and security issuances, combined with current cash balances, will be adequate to:

§finance capital expenditures

§meet liquidity requirements

§fund shareholder dividends

§fund any new business acquisitions or start-ups

As we discuss in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein, RBS Sempra Commodities consummated an agreement to sell certain of its businesses on July 1, 2010.  Our share of the proceeds from this transaction approximates $1 billion, including a $134 million distribution of 2009 partnership earnings related to the businesses sold.  We plan to use $500 million of the proceeds to fund a buy back of our shares under an accelerated stock repurchase program beginning in the third quarter of 2010, and may use the remaining proceeds for additional share repurchases, to fund growth opportunities or reduce debt.

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

We have significant investments in several trusts to provide for future payments of pensions and other postretirement benefits, and nuclear decommissioning.  The value of the trust funds’ investments declined in 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 due to a decrease in the equity market and volatility in the fixed income market.  Values increased from favorable market activity later in 2009.  However, these markets continue to be volatile.  The changes in asset values have not affected the funds’ abilities to make required payments, but may impact funding requirements for pension and other postretirement benefit plans.  At the Sempra Utilities, funding requirements are generally recoverable in rates.

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

Sempra Utilities

The Sempra Utilities expect that cash flows from operations and debt issuances will continue to be adequate to meet operating and utility capital expenditure requirements.  Due to the extended review period associated with the Sunrise Powerlink project and the resultant delay in initiating construction activities, SDG&E declared and paid a $150 million common dividend to Sempra Energy in the first quarter of 2009.  However, the level of future common dividends from SDG&E and SoCalGas may be reduced or eliminated during periods of increased capital expenditures.  The level of future common dividends from PE is dependent upon common dividends paid by SoCalGas.  Sempra Energy may from time to time make additional equity contributions to SDG&E or SoCalGas to support the Sempra Utilities' capital expenditure programs.  

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

Sempra Commodities

In 2008, we completed the formation of RBS Sempra Commodities, a partnership to own and operate Sempra Energy's commodities-marketing businesses, which generally comprised the Sempra Commodities business unit.  RBS is obligated to provide the joint venture with all growth capital, working-capital requirements and credit support.  However, we are providing transitional back-up guarantees, some of which may continue for a prolonged period of time. RBS has fully indemnified us for any claims or losses in connection with these arrangements.

On July 1, 2010, Sempra Energy, RBS and the partnership completed the sale of certain businesses within the partnership to J.P. Morgan Ventures. We discuss this transaction in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein. J.P. Morgan is in the process of replacing any guarantees that we have issued in connection with the businesses sold to J.P. Morgan Ventures with J.P. Morgan guarantees. In the meantime, J.P. Morgan is indemnifying us for any claims or losses in connection with the guarantees that we issued in connection with the businesses sold to J.P. Morgan Ventures.

We and RBS are actively marketing the businesses which were not sold to J.P. Morgan Ventures and are also continuing to discuss amending certain provisions of the partnership agreement entered into upon the formation of the joint venture. The impact of the sale transaction on cash flow will depend on many factors, including the final proceeds received fr om the transaction, potential changes to the partnership agreement, and any sale of the remaining businesses.

We account for our investment in the partnership under the equity method. RBS Sempra Commodities intends to distribute all of its net income on an annual basis, although the distributions are within the discretion of the board of directors of the partnership.  In limited cases, the partnership may retain earnings allocable to the partners to replenish capital depleted through losses.  In April 2010, we received cash distributions from the partnership of $198 million.  In the first six months of 2009, we received cash distributions from the partnership of $375 million.  Based on the joint venture’s results through the second quarter of 2010, we currently do not expect distributions for 2010 results to be material.

We provide additional information about RBS Sempra Commodities and the transaction with J.P. Morg an Ventures in Notes 4 and 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in Notes 3, 4, 6 and 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

Sempra Generation

We expect Sempra Generation to require funds for the development of electric generation facilities, primarily renewable energy projects.  Projects at Sempra Generation may be financed through a combination of operating cash flow, project financing, funds from the parent and external borrowings.  Cash flows from operations at Sempra Generation are expected to decrease upon the expiration of their contract with the DWR in late 2011 due to less favorable pricing on replacement contracts.  Also, Sempra Generation may not be able to replace all of the lost revenue.  We expect the litigation settlement recorded in the first quarter of 2010 related to the DWR litig ation to be funded from operations.  

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

Sempra Pipelines & Storage

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

Also, on April 30, 2010, Sempra Pipelines & Storage completed an acquisition resulting in the purchase of the Mexican pipeline and natural gas infrastructure assets of El Paso Corporation for $307 million ($292 million, net of cash acquired).  We discuss the acquisition further in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

Sempra LNG

Sempra LNG required funding from 2004 through 2009 for its development of the Energía Costa Azul and Cameron LNG receipt terminals. As both of these facilities are now in service, Sempra LNG is expected to provide operating cash flow for further development within Sempra Global.

Sempra Energy Consolidated

Cash provided by operating activities at Sempra Energy decreased in 2010 due to $177 million lower distributions received from RBS Sempra Commodities.


SDG&E

Cash provided by operating activities at SDG&E decreased in 2010 primarily due to $97 million of settlement payments in 2010, net of cash received from liability insurance, related to the 2007 wild fire litigation.

PE and SoCalGas

Cash provided by operating activities at PE and SoCalGas increased in 2010 primarily due to the effect on working capital balances at SoCalGas of higher natural gas prices in 2010 compared to 2009.  Higher natural gas prices in 2010 produced a $15 million liability for temporary LIFO liquidation compared to a $43 million asset in 2009.  Temporary LIFO liquidation represents the difference between the carrying value of natural gas inventory withdrawn during the period (valued by the last-in, first-out method) for delivery to customers and the projected cost of the replacement of that inventory during summer months.

Sempra Energy Consolidated

Cash used in investing activities at Sempra Energy increased in 2010 primarily due to:

§Sempra Pipelines & Storage’s $285 million acquisition (net of cash acquired) resulting in the purchase of Mexican pipeline and na tural gas infrastructure assets; and

§$176 million proceeds from remarketing of industrial development bonds in 2009; offset by

§$148 million lower contributions to Rockies Express.  The $65 million contribution in the first quarter of 2010 was the last required for the construction phase of the project;

§$99 million decrease in capital expenditures primarily due to the completion of Sempra LNG’s Cameron receipt terminal and the nitrogen-injection facility at its Energía Costa Azul receipt terminal; and

§$27 million higher distributions from investments.

SDG&E

The increase in cash used in investing activities at SDG&E in 2010 was due to:

§a $79 million net increase in capital expenditures (a $141 million increase at SDG&E, offset by a decrease of $62 million at Otay Mesa VIE); 

§net proceeds of $24 million related to industrial development bonds in 2009; and

§a $19 million lower decrease in loans to affiliates.

PE and SoCalGas

Cash used in investing activities at PE and SoCalGas increased in 2010 primarily due to a $254 million increase in advances from SoCalGas to Sempra Energy in 2010.

FUTURE CONSTRUCTION EXPENDITURES AND INVESTMENTS

The amounts and timing of capital expenditures are generally subject to approvals by the CPUC, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and other regulatory bodies. However, in 2010, we expect to make capital expenditures and investments of $2.9 billion, including:

§$2 billion at the Sempra Utilities (excluding Otay Mesa VIE) for capital projects and plant improvements ($1.4 billion at SDG&E and $600 million at SoCalGas)

§$900 million at our other subsidiaries for the development of natural gas storage facilities and pipelines, and renewable generation projects

The Sempra Utilities expect the capital expenditures to include:

§$780 million for additions to SDG&E’s natural gas and electric distribution systems, advanced metering infrastructure, and electric generation plant and equipment

§$600 million at SoCalGas for improvements to distribution and transmission systems, and for advanced metering infrastructure

§$490 million at SDG&E for the Sunrise Powerlink transmission line

§$190 million for improvements to SDG&E’s electric transmission infrastructure

The Sempra Utilities expect to finance these expenditures and investments with cash flows from operations, cash on hand and debt issuances.  These amounts do not include expected capital expenditures of Otay Mesa VIE.

The expected capital expenditures of $900 million at our other subsidiaries include:

§approximately $150 million to $250 million for Copper Mountain Solar (a 48-megawatt (MW) solar generation facility under construction by Sempra Generation in Boulder City, Nevada);

§approximately $250 million to $300 million for Sempra Pipelines & Storage’s contribution to Rockies Express and the development of natural gas storage projects at Bay Gas and Mississippi Hub; and

§approximately $300 million for Sempra Pipelines & Storage’s acquisition resulting in the purchase of Mexican pipeline and natural gas infrastructure assets which closed in April 2010 and that we discuss in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

Our level of capital expenditures and investments in the next few years may vary substantially and will depend on the cost and availability of financing, regulatory approvals and business opportunities providing desirable rates of return.  We int end to finance our capital expenditures in a manner that will maintain our strong investment-grade ratings and capital structure.

Sempra Energy Consolidated

Cash used in financing activities at Sempra Energy in 2010 increased slightly and included the following substantially offsetting activity:

§a $534 million increase in short-term debt in 2010 compared to a $612 million decrease in 2009; and

§$94 million for the purchase of the remaining 40-percent ownership interest in Mississippi Hub in 2009; offset by

§$838 million lower issuances of debt; and

§$399 million higher debt payments.

SDG&E

Cash provided by financing activities at SDG&E increased primarily due to:

§$150 million common dividends paid to Sempra Energy in 2009; and

§$63 million increase in short-term debt in 2010; offset by

§$108 million lower issuances of long-term debt; and

§$5 million higher payments on long-term debt.

PE and SoCalGas

Cash used in financing activities at PE and SoCalGas in 2010 increased due to $100 million common dividends paid to Sempra Energy and PE, respectively.

COMMITMENTS

We discuss significant changes to contractual commitments at Sempra Energy, SDG&E, PE and SoCalGas in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

 

FACTORS INFLUENCING FUTURE PERFORMANCE

SEMPRA ENERGY OVERVIEW

The Sempra Utilities' operations and Sempra Global's long-term contracts generally provide relatively stable earnings and liquidity. However, for the next few years, SDG&E and SoCalGas intend to limit their common stock dividends to reinvest their earnings in significant capital projects. Also, Sempra Generation's contract with the DWR, which provides a significant portion of Sempra Generation's revenues, ends in late 2011. Because it is unable to forecast with certainty future electricity pr ices and the cost of natural gas, contracts it enters into to replace the DWR contract, if obtained, or merchant (daily) sales may provide substantially lower earnings. Sempra Generation is also undertaking several projects for the construction of renewable generation facilities, with planned in-service dates ranging from late 2010 to 2012.

We expect that Sempra LNG and Sempra Pipelines & Storage will provide relatively stable earnings and liquidity from their current operations. Sempra Pipelines & Storage is also expected to provide earnings from construction programs when completed and other investments, but will require substantial funding for these investments. At Sempra LNG, until there are firm LNG supply or capacity services contracts from third parties that would subscribe to 100 percent of the capacity of Sempra LNG's Cameron receipt terminal, Sempra LNG will seek to purchase and market short-term LNG supplies and sell short-term capacity, which may result in greater variability in revenues and earnings.

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

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

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

SDG&E has a 20-percent ownership interest in San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), a 2,150-MW nuclear generating facility near San Clemente, California. SONGS is operated by Southern California Edison (SCE) and is subject to the jurisdiction of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). SCE is currently addressing a number of regulatory and performance issues at SONGS, and the NRC has required SCE to take actions to provide greater assurance of compliance by SONGS personnel. SCE continues to implement plans and address the identified issues, however a number of these issues remain outstanding. To the extent that these issues persist, the likelihood of further required action by SCE persists, which may result in increased SONGS operating costs and/or adversely impacted operations. Currently, SDG&E is allowed to fully offset its share of SONGS operating costs in revenue. If further action is required, it may result in an increase in SDG&E’s Operation and Maintenance Expense, with any increase being fully offset in Operating Revenues – Electric or, if electric generation is adversely impacted, require SDG&E to procure additional electricity supply from other sources. We provide more information about SONGS in Notes 7, 15 and 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report, and in Items 1 and 1A of our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In 2008, we completed the formation of a partnership, RBS Sempra Commodities, to own and operate our commodities-marketing businesses, which generally comprised our Sempra Commodities segment. In November 2009, RBS announced its intention to divest its interest in the joint venture following a directive from the European Commission to dispose of certain assets. In February 2010, Sempra Energy, RBS and the partnership entered into an agreement to sell certain businesses within the partnership, which agreement was consummated on July 1, 2010. Our joint venture partner, RBS, continues to be obligated to provide the partnership with all growth capital, working-capital requirements and credit support, as we discuss above in "Capital Resources and Liquidity – Sempra Commodities."

We and RBS continue to engage in an active sales process for the remaining partnership businesses. Based on preliminary indications of value from potential buyers and discussions with our partner with respect to the ultimate allocation of proceeds, we currently believe that our share of the proceeds from the partnership for the sale to J.P. Morgan Ventures and proceeds from the sale or ultimate disposition of the remaining joint venture assets will be sufficient such that their application to our equity method investment will not have a material effect on our earnings. We and RBS are also continuing to discuss amending various provisions to our partnership agreement in light of the sale to J.P. Morgan Ventures and the sales process for the remaining businesses.

Future earnings and distributions from the partnership will depend on the profitability achieved in the partnership's remaining businesses until their final disposition and the continued ability of RBS to provide capital and credit support for the partnership. Results of the joint venture in the first half of 2010 were impacted by low commodity prices and the disruptions caused by the process to sell the partnership's businesses. We provide additional information in Notes 4 and 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in Notes 3, 4, 6 and 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

We may be further impacted by depressed and rapidly changing economic conditions. Moreover, the d ollar has fluctuated significantly compared to some foreign currencies, especially in Mexico and South America where we have significant operations. These factors, coupled with very low natural gas prices which affect profitability at Sempra Generation and Sempra LNG, could, if they remain unchanged, adversely affect profitability. Additionally, given the uncertainty of commodity markets and the lack of debt financing for energy infrastructure, which impact related hedging activity, growth at RBS Sempra Commodities could be dampened.

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

FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES REFORMS

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

LITIGATION

We describe legal proceedings which could adversely affect our future performance in Note 10 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

SEMPRA UTILITIES – INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS AND CAPITAL PROJECTS

We describe capital projects, electric and natural gas regulation and rates, and other pending proceedings and investigations that affect our business in Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and in Notes 15 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.

SEMPRA GLOBAL INVESTMENTS

As we discuss in "Cash Flows From Investing Activities," our investments will significantly impact our future performance. In addition to the discussion below, we provide information about these investments in "Capital Resources and Liquidity" herein and “Capital Resources and Liquidity” and “Factors Influencing Future Performance” in the Annual Report.

Sempra Generation

Copper Mountain Solar

Pacific Gas and Electric has contracted for 48 MW of solar power from Copper Mountain Solar, a new plant under development in Boulder City, Nevada by Sempra Generation on land adjacent to the 10-MW El Dorado Energy Solar plant.  Construction has begun and we expect it to be completed in late 2010.

Mesquite Solar

Mesquite Solar is a photovoltaic generation facility under development by Sempra Generation in Maricopa County, Arizona.  When fully developed, the project will be capable of producing approximately 400 to 600 MW of solar power.  Mesquite Solar will connect to the 500-kilovolt Hassayampa switchyard via our existing Mesquite Power natural gas generation plant.  Construction of the first phase of 150 MW is expected to begin in 2011 and be completed in 2012.

Sempra Pipelines & Storage

Natural Gas Storage Projects

Currently, Sempra Pipelines & Storage has 11.4 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of operational working natural gas storage capacity.  We are in construction to increase operational capacity by 12.5 Bcf by the end of 2010 (for a total of 24 Bcf) and we plan to develop as much as 75 Bcf of total storage capacity by 2015.

Sempra Pipelines & Storage’s natural gas storage facilities and projects include

§Bay Gas Storage Company, a facility located 40 miles north of Mobile, Alabama, that provides underground storage and delivery of natural gas.  Sempra Pipelines & Storage owns 91 percent of the project.  It is the easternmost storage facility on the Gulf Coast, with direct service to the Florida market.

§Mississippi Hub storage facility, currently under construction in Simpson County, Mississippi, an underground salt-dome natural gas storage project with planned direct interconnections to the natural gas production areas in eastern Texa s, Oklahoma and Arkansas, as well as the Northeast market.

§Liberty Gas Storage Expansion, a salt cavern facility in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.  Sempra Pipelines & Storage owns 75 percent of the project and ProLiance Transportation LLC owns the remaining 25 percent.  The project’s location provides access to several LNG facilities in the area.

Acquisition of Mexican Pipeline and Natural Gas Infrastructure

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

We discuss the acquisition more fully in Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidat ed Financial Statements herein.

 

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.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

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

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

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

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

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

RECOVERY OF 2007 WILDFIRE LITIGATION COSTS

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

(d)

if it is subsequently determined that the amount of Transfer Taxes to be borne by the Seller Parties under Section 10.3(e) of the Purchase Agreement (the “Actual Seller Transfer Tax Amount”) exceeds the Estimated Seller Transfer Tax Amount (whether as a result of any revision to the Final Allocation Schedule in accordance with Section 10.3(h)(iv) or otherwise), the Seller Parties shall, in accordance with Section 10.3(e), pay to the Purchaser an amount in aggregate equal to the difference between the Estimated Seller Transfer Tax Amount and the Actual Seller Transfer Tax Amount, together with the relevant proportion of any interest and penalties (determined in accordance with Section 10.3(e)) which may be due to the relevant Tax authority; and

(e)

if it is subsequently determined that the Actual Seller Transfer Tax Amount is less than the Estimated Seller Transfer Tax Amount (whether as a result of any revision to the Final Allocation Schedule in accordance with Section 10.3(h)(iv) or otherwise), the Purchaser shall pay to the Partnership (on behalf of the relevant Seller Parties) an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Seller Transfer Tax Amount and the Actual Seller Transfer Tax Amount, together with fifty percent (50%) of any interest or repayment supplement received from the relevant Tax authority (or fifty percent (50%) of any such interest or repayment supplement which would have been received by the Purchaser if (i) it had made a timely claim for any such interest or repayment supplement, or (ii) if it had accounted for an amount of Transfer Taxes equal to the Estimated Seller Transfer Tax Amount to the relevant Tax authorit y within any Applicable Time Limit, and in any event within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, save where the Purchaser’s failure in either case is primarily attributable to a Seller Party’s unreasonable failure to cooperate with the Purchaser in complying with such obligations).”

ANNEX A


Schedule 7.3(b)(iii)


Landlord Consent


The Seller Parties and the Purchaser agree to make good faith efforts to obtain the Consent of each Third Party under the agreements listed in Section 1 below prior to the Closing Date and, if so requested by the Purchaser in its sole discretion, such later date as determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion; provided that in no event shall the Purchaser be required to agree to pay any amounts to any Third Party to obtain the applicable Consent.  In the event that, prior to the Closing Date or such later date as determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion, the Seller Parties and the Purchaser are able to obtain the Consent of a Third Party, the terms of which are satisfactory to the Purchaser in its sole discretion (including approval by the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, of any amounts payable to such Third Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any incremental increase in rent or storage and handling costs)), the Purchaser shall be responsible for paying such amounts to the applicable Third Party.  In the event that prior to the Closing Date or, if the Purchaser in its sole discretion elects to continue to seek the Consent of such Third Party following the Closing Date, such later date as determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion, the Seller Parties and the Purchaser are unable to obtain the Consent of the applicable Third Party, the terms of which are satisfactory to the Purchaser in its sole discretion, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, RBS and Sempra Energy shall be solely responsible for, and shall (on a several basis in accordance with their respective Indemnity Share) pay and discharge, and reimburse the Purchaser and its Affiliates for, any and all fees, costs, payments, expenses, penalties, relocation costs, breakage costs and all other Damages relating to or arising from the failure to obtain or in connection with obt aining such Consent (except to the extent that the failure to obtain such Consent is determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction (a “Final Determination”) to be the result of the Purchaser’s failure to make good faith efforts consistent with the terms of this Schedule 7.3(b)(iii), but subject to Purchaser’s right to determine in its sole discretion whether the terms of any Consent are satisfactory).

The Seller Parties and the Purchaser agree to provide notice to each Third Party under the agreements listed in Section 2 below (the “Notice Leases”) prior to the Closing Date, which notice shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Seller Parties and the Purchaser. In the event that, at any time prior to, or within six (6) months following the Closing Date, any Third Party that is a party to a Notice Lease makes any assertion or claim in writing (including by facsimile or email) to the Seller Parties or to the Purchaser (and the Purchaser promptly provides a copy thereof to RBS and Sempra Energy), or the Purchaser certifies in writing (in accordance with Section 10.4 of this Agreement) to RBS and Sempra Energy that such Third Party has asserted or claimed, that such Third Party’s Consent is required under such Notice Lease in connection with the change in ownership of the tenant in c onnection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Consent Claim”; and such Third Party an “Objecting Third Party”), the Seller Parties and the Purchaser shall make good faith efforts to obtain such Consent from such Objecting Third Party as promptly as possible and in any event prior to the date that is six (6) months following the later of the Closing Date and the date on which such Consent Claim is received or, if the Purchaser in its sole discretion elects to continue to seek the Consent of such Objecting Third Party following such six (6) month period, such later date as determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion (the date until which such parties will seek such Consent being the “Consent Efforts End Date” with respect to such Notice Lease).  In the event that, prior to the relevant Consent Efforts End Date, the Seller Parties and the Purchaser are able to obtain the Consent of such Objecting Third Party, the terms of which are satisfactory to the Purchaser in its sole discretion (including approval by the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, of any amounts payable to such Objecting Third Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any incremental increase in rent or storage and handling costs)), the Purchaser shall be responsible for paying such amounts to such Objecting Third Party.  In the event that prior to the relevant Consent Efforts End Date, the Seller Parties and the Purchaser are unable to obtain the Consent of such Objecting Third Party, the terms of which are satisfactory to the Purchaser in its sole discretion, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, RBS and Sempra Energy shall be solely responsible for, and shall (on a several basis in accordance with their respective Indemnity Share) pay and discharge, and reimburse the Purchaser and its Affiliates for, any and all fees, costs, payments, expenses, penalties, relocation costs, breakage costs and all other Damages relating to or arising from the failure to obtain or in connection with obtaining such Consent (except to the extent that the failure to obtain such Consent is determined by a Final Determination to be the result of the Purchaser’s failure to make good faith efforts consistent with the terms of this Schedule 7.3(b)(iii), but subject to Purchaser’s right to determine in its sole discretion whether the terms of any Consent are satisfactory).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller Parties shall not have any liability to the Purchaser under this Agreement in respect of any Notice Lease as a result of any failure to seek or obtain a consent under such Notice Lease if the relevant Third Party does not make a Consent Claim prior to, or within six (6) months following, the Closing Date.

In no event shall the Seller Parties’ aggregate liability in connection with this Schedule 7.3(b)(iii) exceed $6,000,000.

Your restricted stock units are not shares of Common Stock. You will have no rights as a shareholder unless and until shares of Common Stock are issued to you upon the vesting of your restricted stock units.  


Your restricted stock units (and reinvested dividend equivalents) are subject to transfer restrictions and will be forfeited if your Sempra Energy board service terminates before your units vest.  See “Vesting/Forfeiture”, “Transfer Restrictions”, and “Termination of Board Service” below.

Vesting/Forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units:

If not previously forfeited, your restricted stock units will vest on May 12, 2011 or upon your earlier termination of board service by reason of your death, disability, or removal from the board without cause.


Your restricted stock units will be forfeited upon your termination of board service before May 12, 2011 for any reason other than your death, disability, or removal from the board without cause.

Transfer Restrictions:

Your restricted stock units may not be sold or otherwise transferred and will remain subject to forfeiture conditions until they vest.




Termination of Board Service:

If your Sempra Energy board service terminates for any reason prior to May 12, 2011 (other than by reason of your death, disability, or removal from the board without cause), all of your restricted stock units will be forfeited.  


If your board service terminates by reason of your death, disability, or removal from the board without cause, your restricted stock units (and reinvested dividend equivalents) will immediately vest.

Reinvested Dividend Equivalents:

You also have been awarded reinvested dividend equivalents with respect to your restricted stock units.  Your reinvested dividend equivalents represent the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of your award.  Your reinvested dividend equivalents will be determined based on the dividends that you would have received, had you held shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your restricted stock units from the date of your award to the date they vest, and assuming that the dividends and successive dividends thereon were reinvested in Common Stock in the same manner as dividends reinvested pursuant to the terms of the Sempra Energy Dividend Reinvestment Plan.  Your reinvested dividend equivalents will be subject to the same transfer restrictions and forfeiture and vesting conditions as the shares represented by yo ur restricted stock units.

Distribution of Shares:

Shares of Common Stock will be distributed to you within ten (10) days following the vesting of your restricted stock units.

You will receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of your restricted stock units and additional shares representing your reinvested dividend equivalents..  .  

Taxes:

Upon the distribution of your units (and reinvested dividend equivalents) in shares of Common Stock, you will realize taxable income based on the fair market value of the shares on the distribution date.

Change in Control:

Subject to certain limitations set forth in the 2008 Long Term Incentive Plan, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), all of your outstanding unvested restricted stock units (and reinvested dividend equivalents) will immediately vest and will be immediately distributed in shares of Common Stock to you.

Further Actions:

You agree to take all actions and execute all documents appropriate to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.

You also appoint as your attorney-in-fact each individual who at the time of so acting is the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Sempra Energy with full authority to effect any transfer of any shares of Common Stock distributable to you that is authorized by this Agreement.

Applicable Law:

This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of California.

To accept your award you must sign the accompanying copy of this page and promptly return it to Sempra Energy.  By doing so, you agree to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Sempra Energy 2008 Long Term Incentive Plan.
