01 Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events. 2024 General Rate Case of San Diego Gas & Electric Company and Southern California Gas Company On December 19, 2024, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved a final decision (FD) in the 2024 General Rate Case (GRC) of San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) and Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas). SDG&E and SoCalGas are subsidiaries of Sempra. The GRC FD authorizes SDG&E's and SoCalGas' test year revenue requirements for 2024 and attrition year adjustments for 2025 through 2027, inclusively. In addition, the GRC FD provides SDG&E and SoCalGas with numerous mechanisms to seek cost recovery of additional projects and programs as described below. 2024 Revenue Requirements and Attrition Year Revenues The GRC FD adopts a test year 2024 revenue requirement of $2,699 million for SDG&E's combined operations ($2,193 million for its electric operations and $506 million for its natural gas operations). SDG&E's authorized 2024 combined revenue requirement represents an increase of $189 million (7.5%) over its authorized 2023 combined revenue requirement. In connection with SDG&E's election to change its tax accounting method for gas repairs expenditures, the 2024 revenue requirement increase is net of $68 million of total estimated income tax benefits for 2023 and 2024 to be flowed through to customers in the 2024 test year as a pass-through benefit. The GRC FD also specifies an increase in SDG&E's 2025, 2026, and 2027 combined revenue requirements of $147 million (5.45%), $119 million (4.17%) and $122 million (4.11%), respectively, over the preceding year's combined revenue requirement. The 2025, 2026 and 2027 revenue requirements will be updated to implement a previously authorized change in the cost of capital that adjusted SDG&E's rate of return to 7.45%. The GRC FD adopts a test year 2024 revenue requirement of $3,806 million for SoCalGas. SoCalGas' authorized 2024 revenue requirement represents an increase of $324 mi
