Sempra Energy (SRE) is a $16.3 billion energy services holding company whose subsidiaries provide natural gas and power to customers. It is also the largest natural gas storage company in the United States. The company pays a dividend yield of 3.6% on a payout ratio of 43%. The company's peers PG&E Corp.
