SRE expands LNG, utility and renewable energy investments to meet rising power demand, though wildfire risks remain a concern.
Energy infrastructure company Sempra said on Wednesday that it has received approvals for new transmission projects in Texas which, along with earlier go-aheads, are expected to cost more than $7 billion.
Activist investor Voss Capital has urged Sempra to spin off its Oncor electricity unit, creating a high-growth Texas-focused utility unencumbered by the $60 billion energy giant's predominant California business, according to sources familiar with the matter and a letter seen by Reuters on Thursday.
I am rating Sempra a Strong Buy because Oncor's 127 GW qualifying load forecast creates a much larger long-term transmission and distribution opportunity for the company. The biggest growth driver is Oncor's large-load opportunity in Texas. I estimate that if only 20 GW of Oncor's 127 GW load converts, it could create $17 billion of incremental rate base. My price target is $163, representing a 76% potential upside. I arrive at the PT by using a 21x FWD earnings multiple and a 2030 EPS estimate of $7.74.
