Item 8.01. Other Events
Vectren Corporation (Vectren) has an investment in ProLiance Holdings, LLC (ProLiance), an affiliate of Vectren and Citizens Energy Group (Citizens). Vectren’s ownership share is 61%, which it accounts for using the equity method. ProLiance’s primary investment, through subsidiary ProLiance Transportation and Storage, LLC (PT&S), is in LA Storage, LLC (LA Storage). PT&S and Sempra Energy International (SEI), a subsidiary of Sempra Energy (Sempra), through a joint venture, have a 100 percent interest in LA Storage, a development project for salt-cavern natural gas storage facilities. PT&S is the minority member with a 25 percent interest, which it accounts for using the equity method.
On June 27, 2018, Sempra announced a plan to divest of certain natural gas storage assets and a resulting impairment charge related to those assets. Though not noted specifically in Sempra’s announcement, it is likely that the impairment charge to be recorded by Sempra will include an amount related to the LA Storage assets. Vectren is evaluating the potential impacts of Sempra’s announcement and, to the extent appropriate, will reflect any impairment charge in the quarter ended June 30, 2018. At March 31, 2018, Vectren’s total investment in ProLiance was $23.1 million.
