FORM 8-K



The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008.


Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant


Three-Year Revolving Credit Facility


On August 15, 2008, San Diego Gas & Electric Company and Southern California Gas Company entered into a Three-Year Revolving Credit Agreement with a syndicate of lenders for which JPMorgan Chase Bank serves as administrative agent. Southern California Gas Company is a subsidiary of Pacific Enterprises which, in turn, is a subsidiary of Sempra Energy. San Diego Gas & Electric Company is also an indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy.


The credit facility has become effective and permits revolving credit borrowings by each utility of up to $600 million through August 15, 2011 subject to a combined borrowing limit for both utilities of $800 million.  It also provides for the issuance of letters of credit on behalf of each utility subject to a combined letter of credit commitment of $200 million for both utilities with the amount of borrowings otherwise available under the facility reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit.


Borrowings, none of which are outstanding, would bear interest at benchmark rates plus a margin that varies with market index rates and the borrowing utility's credit rating. The facility also requires each utility to maintain at the end of each quarter a ratio of total indebtedness to total capitalization (as defined in the facility) of no more than 65%.


Each utility’s obligations under the credit facility are individual obligations and a default by one utility would not constitute a default or preclude borrowings by, or the issuance of letters of credit on behalf of, the other utility.


Concurrently with the effectiveness of the credit agreement the utilities’ $600 million combined revolving credit facility scheduled to expire in August 2010 was terminated.
