NOTICE OF APPLICATION
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY’S REQUEST TO RECOVER COSTS RECORDED IN THE DISTRIBUTION INTEGRITY
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM BALANCING ACCOUNT A.25-08-008
Why am I receiving this notice? On August 15, 2025, Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas®) filed an application (A.25- 08-008) with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to recover costs recorded in the Distribution Integrity Management Program Balancing Account (Application). The Application seeks to recover a total revenue under-collection of $59.1 million. Why is SoCalGas requesting this rate increase? This Application encompasses the implementation of the Distribution Integrity Management Program (DIMP), and recovery of related costs recorded in the DIMP Balancing Account (DIMPBA) from 2019-2023. The DIMP is a federally-mandated comprehensive program focused on the identification and reduction of distribution pipeline integrity risks to enhance pipeline and public safety. The DIMP implements targeted activities, programs, or projects that provide additional monitoring, assessment, and proactive remediation of distribution pipeline systems. The CPUC approved the DIMP with approximately $683 million of authorized expenditures for the years 2019-2023. SoCalGas is requesting recovery of $59.1 million in under-collected revenue, for additional expenditures totaling $207 million that were incurred above authorized levels for the period of February 1, 2023, through December 31, 2023. How could this affect my monthly gas bill? If SoCalGas’s rate request is approved by the CPUC, the average residential monthly bill using 36 therms per month would increase by approximately $0.72 or 1% per month over a 12-month period, or until the costs are recovered. The proposed average transportation rates shown below are for 2026.
