Imperion Completes Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Assessments and Plans for SoCalGas Resulting in Overall Energy and Cost Savings

Project Details

  • Business: SoCalGas
  • Category: Utility
  • Location: Southern California
  • Project Type: ZNE Assessments

Project Overview

As one of California’s largest natural gas providers, SoCalGas is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and aligning with state and internal sustainability goals. The company set its sights on transforming its operational bases into Zero Net Energy (ZNE) facilities. This ambitious objective required a comprehensive evaluation of existing infrastructure, energy usage, and the identification of opportunities for energy optimization and renewable integration.

In 2022, Imperion partnered with SoCalGas to assess its facilities and develop actionable Zero Net Energy (ZNE) Plans. These plans aimed to achieve sustainability goals through the adoption of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and Demand-Side Management (DSM) technologies. Imperion’s expertise in energy consulting provided a structured approach to analyzing current operations and mapping out pathways to ZNE.

Imperion's Approach Included

  • On-Site Assessments
  • Baseline Energy Analysis
  • Desk Assessments
  • DER Evaluation
  • ZNE Plan Development

Imperion’s ZNE assessments provided SoCalGas with a clear pathway to achieving its sustainability goals. By leveraging DER technologies and DSM strategies, SoCalGas has a blueprint for transitioning its facilities to ZNE status. These efforts demonstrate their commitment to environmental stewardship and operational excellence while delivering overall energy and cost savings.

As SoCalGas continues its journey toward ZNE, Imperion remains a trusted partner, supporting the implementation of recommended solutions and helping the organization lead the way in sustainable energy practices.
