SDG&E
We discuss herein SDG&E’s results of operations and significant changes in earnings, revenues and costs for thethree months (Q2) and six months (YTD) ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.
Due to the delay in the issuance of the CPUC’s FD in the SDG&E 2024 GRC, SDG&E recorded revenues in the first three quarters of 2024 based on levels authorized for 2023 under the 2019 GRC. In December 2024, the CPUC approved an FD in the 2024 GRC, effective retroactive to January 1, 2024, for which SDG&E recorded the retroactive impacts in the fourth quarter of 2024. SDG&E’s authorized base revenues for the first half of 2025 are based on the revenues authorized for the 2024 test year plus the amount authorized for attrition for 2025. We provide additional information on the 2024 GRC FD in Note 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report and in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report.
