Sempra Energy ( (SRE) ) has shared an update.

On January 21, 2026, SoCalGas responded publicly to cross-claims filed on January 16, 2026 by Southern California Edison in the ongoing Eaton Fire litigation, in which Edison named SoCalGas and more than a dozen other defendants. SoCalGas criticized the cross-claims as an effort by Edison to shift responsibility for the Eaton fire, pledged to vigorously defend its operational response during the emergency, and said it will seek to recover from Edison for damage to its own system. The company noted it is reviewing the allegations and will pursue insurance coverage, including wildfire insurance, for system damages and for the costs of defending both Edison’s claims and related lawsuits from the Palisades fire. SoCalGas also highlighted its year-long effort working with local and state officials to repair fire-damaged infrastructure and restore gas service safely to thousands of affected customers, underscoring its operational resilience and ongoing role in regional recovery from last year’s wildfires.
