Sempra Energy history

In 1999, the company acquired two utilities in South America; Chilquinta Energia in Chile and Luz Del Sur in Peru, which gave Sempra Energy an entry into the expanding Latin American energy market.

Sempra was sued over claims it manipulated natural gas supplies and electricity contracts during the 2001 California electricity crisis.

In 2003, Sempra Energy Resources, the former power generation subsidiary of Sempra Energy, completed three state-of-the-art power plant projects in Arizona, California and New Mexico.

In 2007, Sempra created the Sempra Energy Foundation as a 501(c)(3) private foundation.

In May 2008, Energía Costa Azul in Baja California began commercial operations, making it one of the first LNG receipt terminals on the West Coast.

In July 2009, the Cameron LNG receipt terminal near Lake Charles, Louisiana, successfully completed performance testing and began commercial operations.

In 2013, Sempra Energy produced revenues of approximately $10.5 billion.

On May 7, 2014, Sempra’s stock price reached $100 for the first time, closing at $100.41.

In August 2017, IEnova signed long-term contracts with a subsidiary of Valero Energy Corp. for the storage capacity of the liquid fuels marine terminal to be constructed in Veracruz and two inland storage facilities to be constructed in Puebla and Mexico City.

On March 8, 2018, regulators in Texas approved Sempra Energy's purchase of a majority stake in Oncor for $9.45 billion.

In May 2019, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC acquired InfraREIT, and Sempra acquired a 50% limited-partnership interest in Sharyland Utilities, LLC, expanding the company’s presence in Texas.

In April 2020, Sempra Energy announced it had completed the sale of its business in Peru, Luz del Sur, for $3.59 billion.
