 AND COSTS

Natural Gas Revenues and Cost of Natural Gas

In the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, SoCalGas’ average cost of natural gas per thousand cubic feet was $2.50 and $1.84, respectively. In the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, SoCalGas’ average cost of natural gas per thousand cubic feet was $3.57 and $3.50, respectively. The average cost of natural gas sold at SoCalGas is impacted by market prices, as well as transportation and other charges. 

In the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, SoCalGas’ natural gas revenues decreased by $41 million (3%) remaining at $1.3 billion primarily due to:

▪$99 million lower revenues associated with refundable programs, which are fully offset in O&M

▪$68 million lower revenues from incremental and balanced capital projects, including those that are now in CPUC-authorized base revenues as a result of the 2024 GRC FD and lower authorized cost of capital

▪$29 million lower revenues from disallowed regulatory recovery of COVID-19 costs

▪$8 million lower regulatory revenues, including gas repairs tax benefits, which are offset in income tax expense. Gas repairs tax benefits in the first three quarters of 2024 were recorded as a regulatory liability that was released in the fourth quarter of 2024 as a result of the 2024 GRC FD

▪$3 million lower revenues associated with impacts resulting from changes in tax laws tracked in the income tax expense memorandum account

Offset by:

▪$111 million higher CPUC-authorized base revenues, including certain incremental and balanced capital projects that are now in CPUC-authorized base revenues as a result of the 2024 GRC FD offset by $7 million lower authorized cost of capital

▪$38 million increase in cost of natural gas sold, which we discuss below

▪$14 million regulatory award approved by the CPUC in 2025

In the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, SoCalGas’ cost of natural gas increased by $38 million (33%) to $152 million primarily due to higher average natural gas prices.
