Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | SEGMENT INFORMATION We have six separately managed reportable segments, as follows:
▪ | SDG&E provides electric service to San Diego and southern Orange counties and natural gas service to San Diego County.
▪ | SoCalGas is a natural gas distribution utility, serving customers throughout most of Southern California and part of central California.
▪ | Sempra South American Utilities develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, electric transmission, distribution and generation infrastructure in Chile and Peru.
▪ | Sempra Mexico develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, natural gas transmission systems and an ethane system, a liquid petroleum gas pipeline and associated storage terminal, a natural gas distribution utility, electric generation facilities (including wind and solar electric generation facilities and a natural gas-fired power plant), a terminal for the import of LNG, and marketing operations for the purchase of LNG and the purchase and sale of natural gas in Mexico. In February 2016, management approved a plan to market and sell the TdM natural gas fired power plant located in Mexicali, Baja California, as we discuss in Note 3.
▪ | Sempra Renewables develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, wind and solar energy generation facilities serving wholesale electricity markets in the United States.
▪ | Sempra LNG & Midstream develops, owns and operates, or holds interests in, natural gas pipelines and storage facilities and a terminal for the import and export of LNG and sale of natural gas, all within the United States. In September 2016, Sempra LNG & Midstream sold EnergySouth, the parent company of Mobile Gas and Willmut Gas, and in May 2016, sold its 25-percent interest in Rockies Express. Sempra LNG & Midstream also owned and operated the Mesquite Power plant, a natural gas-fired electric generation asset, the remaining 625-MW block of which was sold in April 2015. We discuss these divestitures in Note 3.
We evaluate each segment’s performance based on its contribution to Sempra Energy’s reported earnings. The California Utilities operate in essentially separate service territories, under separate regulatory frameworks and rate structures set by the CPUC. The California Utilities’ operations are based on rates set by the CPUC and the FERC. We describe the accounting policies of all of our segments in Note 1. Common services shared by the business segments are assigned directly or allocated based on various cost factors, depending on the nature of the service provided. Interest income and expense is recorded on intercompany loans. The loan balances and related interest are eliminated in consolidation. The following tables show selected information by segment from our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets. We provide information about our equity method investments by segment in Note 4. Amounts labeled as “All other” in the following tables consist primarily of parent organizations.
