Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Southcross Energy Partners, L.P. (“Southcross”) experienced a fire at its Gregory Processing and Fractionation facility on January 26, 2013. There were no injuries in connection with the fire and damage was limited to a small portion of the Gregory facility. The exact cause of the fire is being determined. The Gregory facility had been shut down since January 1, 2013 for planned maintenance activities, and had been anticipated to be back online in February 2013. The new restart date has not yet been determined.

Southcross’ Gregory facility includes 135 million cubic feet per day of gas processing capacity and an associated 4,800 barrel per day fractionation facility. The Gregory facility is approximately 20 miles from Southcross’ newly-constructed 200 million cubic feet per day Woodsboro gas processing facility and associated 11,500 barrel per day Bonnie View fractionation facility.

Southcross maintains insurance which carries a $250 thousand deductible and is expected to cover most of the repair costs related to the damage caused by the fire. Southcross is continuing to use its Woodsboro Processing Plant and Bonnie View Fractionator, as well as third-party facilities.

Additionally, Southcross has clarified with its primary third-party gas processor, Formosa Hydrocarbons Company Inc., that the existing gas processing contract between the parties extends until May 31, 2013.

While there could be some financial impact in the first quarter of 2013 due to reduced operations at the Gregory facility, Southcross does not foresee a material or lasting operational or financial impact from the incident.

Any forward-looking statements in this Current Report are made as of the date hereof and Southcross undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or events.
