The Company's response set forth in this letter is numbered to correspond to the numbered comment in the Staff's letter.

*<u>Registration Statement on Form S-3, filed February 10, 2023</u>*

*<u>Description of First Mortgage Bonds</u>*

*<u>General, page 16</u>*

1. *You disclose that prior to the issuance of each series of bonds, the terms of the particular series of bonds will be specified in a supplemental indenture. You refer to the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus for a description of the following terms of each series of bonds, one of which includes that "[i]f applicable, that the principal of the bonds may be converted into any class of our capital stock or other securities and the terms and conditions in respect of such conversion." Please note that Form S-3, General Instruction I.B.2 and I.C.2 cover primary offerings of non-convertible securities other than common equity. Please revise your description of your notes or provide your analysis of the transaction requirement you are relying on for this offering.* 

San Diego Gas & Electric Company's Response: In response to the Staff's comment, the Company has revised the description of its bonds on page 16 of the Amended Registration Statement to remove the reference to any potential convertibility of the bonds.

Any comments or questions regarding the foregoing should be directed to the undersigned at (858) 523-3959. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in connection with this matter.
