SDG&E joins settlement with Duke Energy SAN DIEGO, July 13, 2004 - San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) joined with other California parties today in announcing that they have reached a settlement with Duke Energy Corp. and some of its affiliates that will provide refunds concerning Duke's energy charges during the California energy crisis of 2000-01. The settlement resolves claims against Duke made by California's investor-owned electric utilities, the California Electricity Oversight Board, the California Department of Water Resources Electric Power Fund and the California attorney general. The attorneys general of Oregon and Washington also are participating in the settlement, as are a number of local California governments. "We are pleased that we have been able to resolve this issue, dating back to the beginning of the California energy crisis," said William L. Reed, senior vice president of regulatory and strategic planning at SDG&E. Reed noted that SDG&E had made the initial filing at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requesting relief from soaring energy prices in August 2000. The settlement calls for Duke to assign to the settling parties about $140 million in receivables owed to Duke for transactions during the period of the energy crisis. Duke also will contribute approximately $60 million in cash for a total settlement of more than $200 million. The cash payment includes $2.5 million that Duke previously paid in an earlier settlement negotiated with the FERC. SDG&E estimated that its customers' share of the settlement proceeds will be approximately $14 million. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will determine how the refund will be distributed to customers. Both the CPUC and FERC need to approve the settlement. SDG&E is a regulated public utility that provides safe and reliable energy service to three million consumers through 1.3 million electric meters and more than 800,000 natural gas meters in San Diego and southern Orange counties. Exceptional customer service is a priority of SDG&E as it seeks to enhance the region's quality of life. SDG&E is part of Sempra Energy Utilities, Sempra Energy's regulated California utilities. Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE), based in San Diego, is a Fortune 500 energy services holding company Media Contacts: Ed Van Herik San Diego Gas & Electric (877) 866-2066 www.sdge.com .

Sempra Energy Second-Quarter Earnings Rise 34 Percent
SEMPRA ENERGY SECOND-QUARTER EARNINGS RISE 34 PERCENT Trading and International Operations Show Improved Results; SDG&E Earnings Decline SAN DIEGO, July 27, 2000 – Based on increased profits at its energy trading and international units, Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE) today reported unaudited consolidated net income of $110 million, or 55 cents per diluted share of common stock, for the second quarter of 2000, up 34 percent over last year’s second-quarter net income of $82 million, or 35 cents per diluted share. Last year’s second-quarter income included non-recurring business-combination costs of $12 million after-tax, or 5 cents per diluted share. Second-quarter revenues for Sempra Energy were $1.5 billion in 2000, equal to revenues in the year-earlier period. “We are now seeing significant contributions from new lines of business outside our California utilities,”said Stephen L. Baum, vice chairman, president and chief executive officer of Sempra Energy. “These unregulated businesses provided 21 percent of our consolidated net income for the quarter, and we are well on our way to achieving our goal to derive one-third of our annual earnings from them by 2003.” The earnings from the unregulated businesses more than offset reduced or flat earnings at the company’s two California utilities, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and Southern California Gas Company. In California’s newly deregulated energy market, SDG&E no longer generates nor prices electricity, but acts as an energy-delivery service provider. SDG&E buys electricity from the California Power Exchange (Cal-PX) and passes that cost directly onto its customers, with no mark-up.
