Q&A "Unprecedented' Era Will Lead To Changes, Energy CEO Predicts.(A)
Byline: AMY REEVES
Sempra Energy is a conglomeration of six energy firms that seem to be right in the middle of the industry's hot issues.
The firm's two utilities -- Southern California Gas Co. and San Diego Gas & Electric -- have been major players in California's struggle with deregulation.
Other units are in the much-discussed fields of independent power production, outsourcing, commodities trading and international markets.
While taking hits from various crises in these markets, Sempra as a whole has maintained a steady financial course. Its 2002 earnings gained 6% from the prior year to $2.68 a share, despite a 22% revenue decline. The firm's stock trades as SRE near 23.
Sempra Chief Executive Stephen Baum recently spoke with IBD about the issues facing his company and the industry in general.
