LNG

Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas), based in Los Angeles and owned by the Louisiana Cameron LNG plant operator, Sempra Energy, has agreed to pay around $1.1 billion in three settlement agreements stemming from the methane leak in 2015 at the SoCalGas Aliso Canyon natural gas storage facility.

The US Government has again warned regional natural gas infrastructure issues in Southern California could affect electricity reliability this summer unless measures are taken such as importing regasified LNG from Mexico or improving state storage infrastructure.
