Sempra's Sempra Infrastructure To Advance A Series Of Key Priorities In Support Of Its Corporate Strategy; Does Not Expect Reduction In Plan

Sempra Infrastructure, a subsidiary of Sempra (NYSE: SRE ), continues to advance a series of key priorities in support of its corporate strategy.

One of Sempra Infrastructure's key priorities is the completion of the ECA LNG Phase 1 project, a one-train natural gas liquefaction facility in Ensenada, Mexico.

The project achieved mechanical completion in December 2025 and introduced feed gas into the facility in April 2026.

Moreover, the project achieved first liquefied natural gas (LNG) production as part of the commissioning process in June 2026 and loaded and shipped its first cargo earlier this month.

Today, the project announced that it is extending its commissioning process.

Following the export of its first cargo, the plant was shut down for planned inspections, during which time damage was discovered in the project's refrigerant compressors.

Subject to completion of a root cause investigation and the execution of the remediation workstreams being consistent with management expectations, the project is expected to reach substantial completion in the fourth quarter of 2026, with sales under long-term sale and purchase agreements commencing shortly thereafter.

Notwithstanding the extension of the commissioning process, Sempra Infrastructure has had strong year-to-date performance and does not anticipate a reduction in its planned earnings contributions relative to Sempra's segment guidance ranges for 2026 and 2027.
