Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Q1 2019 South Jersey Industries' Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. Later, we will conduct the question-and-answer session and instructions will follow at that time.
(Operator Instructions) As a reminder, this call may be recorded.
I would now like to introduce your host for today's conference, Dan Fidell. Please go ahead.
Daniel Fidell -- Vice President of Investor Relations
Thanks, Chris. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to SJI's first quarter earnings conference call and webcast. I'm joined here today by Mike Renna, our President Chief Executive Officer, as well as several additional members of our Senior Management team.
Our earnings release and the presentation slides that accompany the call were issued yesterday after the close of the market, and are also available on our website at www.sjindustries.com. The release and the associated 10-Q provide an in-depth review of earnings on both the GAAP and non-GAAP basis using our non-GAAP measure of economic earnings. Reconciliations of economic earnings to the comparable GAAP measures appear in both documents.
Let me note that through today's call, we will be making references to future expectations, plans and opportunities for SJI. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these statements as a result of various important factors, including those discussed in the company's forms 10-K and 10-Q, which are on file with the SEC.
With that said, I'm pleased to introduce our CEO, Mike Renna, who will discuss our current earnings performance, guidance and outlook. SJI's Chief Financial Officer, Cielo Hernandez, will then review the financial performance of our individual segments and our balance sheet. Mike will then offer some final remarks. After that, we'll then be happy to take your questions.
So, with that introduction, let me now turn it over to Mike.
Michael Renna -- President & Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Dan, and thank you all for joining us today. Hopefully, you've had an opportunity to review our earnings release and our slide deck. Before we dig into the first quarter details, I want to give you an update on our business transformation initiative. As you know, the last two years have been transformational for SJI, bringing with them greater opportunity than at any time in our company's history.
We've shifted our strategy and composition, acquiring two well-run natural gas utilities and cementing our profile as a dynamic, yet still heavily regulated entity. As these utilities are integrated into SJI in conjunction with a broader business transformation effort, we remain focused on achieving best practices and continuous improvement across our combined organization.
Simultaneously, we have shared our non-core, non-regulated solar and retail gas assets. These efforts are designed to reduce earnings volatility, improve our overall earnings quality and support our shift to a more utility-driven growth path. Further, we had to absorb and overcome the tighter spreads and limited opportunities for optimization in wholesale markets. It has been, without question, an exceptionally exciting time in the SJI's story.
While our first quarter results reflect some of the transition year timing pressures associated with our transformation, results, overall, met our expectations and those we set for the investment community. We have, today, reaffirmed our 2019 economic earnings guidance of $1.05 per share to $1.15 per share. More importantly, we're building on a foundation of solid regulator performance. And today, we are initiating 2020 economic earnings guidance of $1.53 per share to $1.57 per share, a 45% increase from our 2017 performance and our 2019 -- from our 2019 midpoint.
Overall, we expect roughly half of our growth to be attributable to earnings improvement from customer growth and planned regulatory initiatives in our utilities, with the balance owing to our Midstream investment, improving our non-utility operations, productivity and efficiency gains stemming from our business transformation initiatives.
With regard to ETG and Elkton, the integration remains largely efficient and seamless process, thanks to the hard work of our dedicated employees, with full integration on track to be completed in Q1 2020. Leveraging people, process and technology, we have been able to cost effectively absorb Elizabethtown and Elkton, while simultaneously driving down costs and increasing efficiencies across all of our businesses. These efforts are the linchpin of our growth plans into 2020 and beyond.
On the regulatory front, we have two significant initiatives under way at Elizabethtown. In October, we filed an infrastructure replacement program proposal, very similar to the plan we have in place for SDG. We've begun settlement discussions and expect a final decision from the BPU in 2019.
In April, we also filed a petition with the NJBPU, requesting a revenue increase of roughly $65 million to recover approximately $346 million in system improvements that are not currently reflected in base rates. We expect settlement discussions to begin later this year, followed by a final order in line with precedent from prior cases. Finally, on the financial front, we continue to strengthen our balance sheet via repayment of debt from non-core assets sales and remain focused on further improving our credit metrics.
Looking forward, our priorities for the balance of 2019 remain unchanged. We are focused on completing our review of our remaining non-core, non-regulated businesses, continuing to effectively integrate our Elizabethtown and Elkton acquisitions, including the winding down of our TSA with Southern, achieving significant cost savings from our business transformation initiatives and effectively executing our pending regulatory proceedings, all of which provide the foundation for the anticipated 6% to 8% earnings-per-share growth annually.
With that, I'll now turn it over to Cielo to review our operational performance.
Cielo Hernandez -- Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer
Thank you, Mike. Good morning, everyone. As Dan noted earlier, post the economics, the earnings release and the slide deck we have made available will provide you dictating permission regarding GAAP earnings, and I encourage you to review that information as well. For this call, we will focus our discussions on our non-GAAP measure of economic earnings. As management believes, this measure provides valuable insight into our business performance.
SJI's first quarter of economic earnings per share totaled $1.09 as compared with $1.26 per share in 2018. In line with our expectations, 2019 economic earnings were $99.4 million as compared with 2018 economic earnings of $100.4 million. The quarterly variance reflects the addition of ETG and Elkton, and improved results of South Jersey Gas, Midstream and Energy Services that were offset by lower results at Energy Group. Q1 2019 results also reflects the pressure of integration in acquisition financing costs as well as share dilution.
Now, I will review the first quarter performance drivers of each of our business segments. Our gas utilities contributed earnings of $1.09 per share compared with $0.84 per share in 2018. The improvement primarily reflects the addition of ETG and Elkton operations acquired in July 2018 as well as their role in our investments for infrastructure replacement and customer growth. Our net customer growth across our utilities was 1.4% over the last 12 months. Our growth rate remains above the national average.
With close to three quarters of its additions coming from conversions, the South Jersey Gas growth rate reached 1.9%. These contributions reflect our commitment to growth from regulated investments and initiatives, as well as our partnership with BPU. We expect both South Jersey Gas and ETG to maintain this strong partnership in support of our customers across New Jersey. Midstream earnings were $0.01 per share, reflecting AFUDC-related to PennEast Pipeline Project, which was generally consistent with 2018.
Turning to our non-regulated operations, Energy Group contributed economic earnings per share of $0.08 compared to $0.45 last year. The decline in results reflects several items; lower margins of daily energy trading activities tied to tighter spreads, less favorable weather and new pipeline operating rules that limited asset optimization opportunities.
First quarter 2019 results were also impacted by headwinds associated with several legacy contracts, which begin to roll off in 2020. First quarter 2019 result should also be evaluated in light of the various strong wholesale gas market conditions that existed during the same period in 2018.
Energy Services results improved by $0.02 per share versus last year, reflecting the announced sale of our solar assets to an entity managed by Goldman Sachs Asset Management, in June 2018. Through the end of the first quarter, we received over $300 million of the $350 million solid agreement. Turning now to capital spending, first quarter the spend totaled $108.8 million, and we remain on track for approximately the $530 million in capital spending in 2019. In 2019, we further strengthened our balance sheet. As of March 31, 2019, equity to total capitalization was 35.1%, up significantly compared with 28.9% at December 31, 2018. This reflects the issuance of our equity forward in January, and $400 million in debt repayments using proceeds from non-core asset sales.
As previously communicated, our growth plan embeds our mandatory convertible equity units of $287.5 million due in 2021. Including conversion, our adjusted equity to total capitalization ratio in non-GAAP measure was 39.1% at March 31, 2019, and 35.3% at December 31, 2018. As a reminder, we remain committed to further strengthening of our balance sheet. And we anticipated that any proceeds from potential sales of remaining non-core, non-regulated assets will be deployed for additional debt repayment.
That concludes my review of operational performance and the balance sheet.
I will now turn it back to Mike for his concluding remarks. Thank you.
Michael Renna -- President, Chief Executive Officer, Director
Thank you, Cielo. As I conclude my remarks, I want to thank our approximately 1,100 dedicated employees for their outstanding work. As always, they remain the driving force behind our results and our ability to execute the strong growth path we've outlined for you.
Operator, that concludes our prepared remarks. We are now ready to open the line for questions.
Questions and Answers:
Operator
Thank you. (Operator Instructions)
And our first question comes from the line of Dennis Coleman with Bank of America. Your line is now open.
Dennis Coleman -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
Yes. Hi. Good morning.
Daniel Fidell -- Vice President of Investor Relations
Good morning.
Michael Renna -- President, Chief Executive Officer, Director
Good morning, Dennis.
Dennis Coleman -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
Thanks for the call. Maybe, if we could just pick up on some of the priorities that you listed on Slide 3. You talked about reviewing remaining non-core assets, and one of the questions we've heard is, would you consider divesting the wholesale business? You've done quite a lot already, but that's one of the ones that still has some growth to it.
Michael Renna -- President & Chief Executive Officer
Thanks, Dennis. Good morning. I think it's fair to say that, with the exception of our utilities, we would certainly be open to considering anything as it relates to our non-utility businesses. Although we have identified our wholesale business as core, it is an area that, despite some challenges currently in the market, it has performed well for us. Historically, it is a -- it's not a capital-intensive business.
We have designed it to operate from a very low risk platform. So, right now, we do view it as being complementary and a critical part of our future. But that's not to say that if there was a market out there that we'd be able to capture and monetize the business with a commanding premium, that we wouldn't consider it -- I mean, I think we'd have to consider any kind of opportunity like that.
Dennis Coleman -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
Okay. Thank you for that. I guess...
Michael Renna -- President & Chief Executive Officer
Go ahead. I'm sorry.
Dennis Coleman -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
Sorry. I was going to just switch to the redundancy project alternatives. With the BL England offline, you've indicated you're pursuing different options. And in the release, you talked about an equity issuance to support those efforts. I wonder, if there's any more details you might be able to add there?
Michael Renna -- President & Chief Executive Officer
Yeah. We don't have specific to share it in terms of what a potential project would look like. Maybe, I'll just kind of take a little bit of a step back. We view redundancy as having two components to it. One would be system redundancy. That would be the kind of redundancy that would be afforded by a BL England replacement project. That is to ensure that all of our customers have a redundancy and we maintain continuity of service, should there be some kind of an interruption right now.
We believe that we have some exposure, and we believe that our regulators are supportive of us, addressing that exposure, when we have roughly 140,000 customers who were served off of a single aided distribution line. We are addressing that redundancy. That redundancy would have been addressed with the BL England project, so we are exploring alternatives.
And we're looking to do that with really two things in mind. The affordability, right, making sure that whatever we do minimizes the impact on customer bills, and expediency, making sure that we can get it permitted and in place in the shortest time possible.
The other type of redundancy is supply redundancy. And that would be a project designed to protect us against an interstate supply interruption, particularly in heavy usage months. So, that's a different type of project. It's more capital-intensive. And that would involve either -- there's really two options that we think. One would be another feed off of a third interstate pipeline, which we think would take a lot of time, and particularly, on the permitting and construction front, or perhaps as we've mentioned before, large scale LNG.
We are kind of finalizing our decision in our design around both of those projects. We've also said to the second point with that, the equity that we would raise would be to support redundancy projects. And depending, again, on the size and the scope of particularly, the supply redundancy project, we had targeted $125 million of equity to support that project. Our guidance range reflects equity that may be less or may be a little bit more depending on the size of that project.
So, we have $125 million out there right now, and that, again, is really designed or it's specifically related to that project. I can't say that any equity investment that we would -- or any additional equity that we would raise would be supported by a utility project and the revenues that would come from that project.
Dennis Coleman -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
Okay. That's great. Thanks for all the detail there. A couple -- just a little more detail, given that you mentioned the guidance. And thanks for the 2020 guidance. I think that should help people understand that this is transition 2019, but I assume it is, but just to confirm, the Elizabethtown rate case is in that guidance, and you've sort of guided or, at least, sort of stated you think it will settle someplace along the lines of past rate cases. Is that how we should think about that being represented in the 2020 guidance?
Michael Renna -- President & Chief Executive Officer
I'm going to ask ask Dave Robbins, who is the President of our Utilities, to speak to that.
David Robbins -- Senior Vice President
Yeah, it's absolutely in the 2020 guidance. I mean we've invested about $134 million of prudent capital into their system, which is really driving the filing of that case. We file it. We expect discovery to begin soon. So, we expect it to be settled in a kind of a standard time frame, and the 2020 numbers reflect that.
Dennis Coleman -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
Right. Okay. And then, last one for me and sorry for just to dig a little deeper, but there were some conversation or statements about pipeline rules limiting optimization as having impact on the quarter. Could you share a little more specifics on that?
Steven Cocchi -- Senior Vice President & Chief Strategy and Development Officer
Yeah. Dennis, hi. It's Steve Cocchi. Yeah, this is something that we've talked about before. When we look back at the volatility and what we were able to take advantage of in the first quarter of 2018 in the wholesale business, a lot of the uptick that we saw in the numbers that year were related to being able to optimize our transportation and storage on certain pipelines.
And because of the demand coming out of the extremely cold winter that we had at the beginning of 2018, the pipelines have changed their operating rules. That don't allow us to take advantage of the ability to move secondary and things of that nature that kind of inhibit our ability to really maximize the value of some of the capacity that we own. It's really -- again, it's something that the pipelines did coming out of the demand that they saw in an extremely cold early 2018.
Dennis Coleman -- Bank of America Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
Okay. Thanks for the reminder there. That's it for me.
Steven Cocchi -- Senior Vice President & Chief Strategy and Development Officer
Thanks, Dennis.
Operator
Thank you. (Operator Instructions)
And our next question comes from the line of Tate Sullivan with Maxim Group. Your line is now open.
Tate Sullivan -- Maxim Group -- Analyst
Hi. Thank you. Thanks and good morning. Michael, a couple...
Michael Renna -- President & Chief Executive Officer
Good morning, Tate.
Steven Cocchi -- Senior Vice President & Chief Strategy and Development Officer
Hey, Tate.
Tate Sullivan -- Maxim Group -- Analyst
Good morning. Hey, a couple of questions to learn more about the Elizabethtown service territory. And are there any redundancy -- potential redundancy issues there? Or most of what you talked about redundancy as is related to your legacy territory?
Michael Renna -- President & Chief Executive Officer
I will -- I'll let Dave speak a little bit more about that because he's got a greater familiarity and understanding of their -- the specifics as it relates to their territory. What I do know is that, our -- South Jersey Gas Company has served off of two interstate pipelines. So, obviously, if you were to -- if you were to have an interruption on one of them, we would not be able to meet the needs of our customers, particularly in the winter. The demand is just -- it would outstrip the capacity of the interstate pipeline. There are a number of pipelines that serve our Elizabethtown territories, but they come into three different city gates. And so, the redundancy issue may exist. I think it's something that they're evaluating right now, but I'll ask Dave to speak more on that.
David Robbins -- Senior Vice President
Yeah. I mean it's not as pronounced as the needs of South Jersey Gas because, as Mike mentioned, we're only served by two interstates. That's probably a project that we're going to spend more time on a little bit further down the road because there is not as pressing a need, but it probably makes sense that somewhere on their system to put a large scale LNG would make sense. But we haven't identified that opportunity just yet.
Tate Sullivan -- Maxim Group -- Analyst
Okay. That was related to my other question, and you answered the -- you gave some detail on the Elizabethtown rate case, and I'm looking at your Slide 16, with the Elizabethtown CapEx guidance for '20. Are there other projects -- your potential projects you can talk about in the Elizabethtown service territory? Or is it early beyond the pipe replacement effort?
David Robbins -- Senior Vice President
No, I think that CapEx at ETG just reflects new growth opportunity, it reflects compliance and baseband, and then, certainly, it assumes that we receive approval of our infrastructure program. So, they're really the three main components of the ETG capital numbers.
Tate Sullivan -- Maxim Group -- Analyst
Okay. Thank you. And then, last on Elizabethtown is, has the customer -- I see the customer growth rate in Elizabethtown versus the South Jersey Gas, is the customer growth in Elizabethtown what you expected? And what are the different dynamics in the two service territories, please?
David Robbins -- Senior Vice President
I see the ETG number as the opportunity. So, I believe that under Southern ownership, there wasn't much of a focus on growth. They were really focused on operating efficiency, which they have done very well. And if you look at our customer growth number at South Jersey Gas at 1.9, we believe that we have a model that's portable. So, we are transferring that model to ETG, ramping up the sales and marketing efforts. We believe there's ample opportunity for both convergent customers and new construction up there. So, we expect to make the investments to significantly invest the ETG customer growth number.
Michael Renna -- President & Chief Executive Officer
Tate, this is Mike. I'll jump in a little bit too. They are very different topographies as well. Southern New Jersey, it's flat, it's largely sand. So, running new main and distribution has a different set of economics than it does in Elizabethtown, particularly, if you look at the northern part or sort of the central part of Elizabethtown, it's very densely populated. So, things like street openings and a lot of that construction up there can be a little bit more costly than it is in Southern New Jersey. But on the western part of the territory, the one that hugs the Delaware River, it's mountainous and very rocky. So, again, it's just -- some of the growth is really driven by the actual -- the inherent differences in the service territories themselves.
David Robbins -- Senior Vice President
I think that's certainly true. But I do believe that we have the opportunity to significantly improve upon the 0.8%. And we're already seeing some encouraging signs. So, look for that number to go north as we move forward.
Tate Sullivan -- Maxim Group -- Analyst
Yeah. Great. Thank you for all that detail. Have a good day.
Michael Renna -- President, Chief Executive Officer, Director
Thanks, Tate.
Operator
And that does conclude today -- we do have -- actually have a question that just came in from the line of Stephen Byrd with Morgan Stanley. Your line is now open.
David Arcaro -- Morgan Stanley -- Analyst
Hi. Thanks. This is Dave Arcaro on for Stephen. Thanks for taking my question. Had a...
Michael Renna -- President, Chief Executive Officer, Director
Good morning, Dave.
David Arcaro -- Morgan Stanley -- Analyst
...a bit of a clarification -- good morning. Looking at the capital plan, looking into 2020, noticed some shifting in the proportions of CapEx between SJG and EPG, I'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about what was driving one up and the other down?
Michael Renna -- President, Chief Executive Officer, Director
All right. I'll have Dave jump in and provide more detail. I think really fundamentally what you're seeing in 2020 in that shift are identified larger scale, more capital-intensive projects in South Jersey Gas, again, related to things that we just discussed with redundancy. And so, there has been a little bit of a shift in spending it. As we try to, obviously, again, optimize our capital structure and our balance sheet as well.
David Robbins -- Senior Vice President
But yeah, I think one of the drivers of 2019 -- we had our SHARP II program approved last year. So, there's going to be significant spend in our second accelerator program at SJG and we have a large scale compressor station that is in the '19 numbers as well. On the ETG side, there, we're going to be spending quite a few dollars on standing up their IT systems. So, there are some dollars in there for ETG as well.
David Arcaro -- Morgan Stanley -- Analyst
Okay. Got it. Thanks. That's helpful color. I was also curious on the Midstream side of things, looking at the outlook into 2020, it was a bit higher than we were expecting and looking back at the Analyst Day. But I was wondering, if you could talk about -- on the Midstream side, if there are any drivers of an increase versus your expectations on Analyst Day, kind of what implied ROE is being baked in there? Or are there extra CapEx dollars? Any color on that would be helpful.
Steven Cocchi -- Senior Vice President & Chief Strategy and Development Officer
This is Steve. I don't have the Investor Day numbers at my fingertips at the moment. But I think anything that would have changed since then really is just timing of CapEx. We've not changed our expectations as to the ROE we would expect from that project, once it's in service or the in-service date.
David Arcaro -- Morgan Stanley -- Analyst
Okay. Got it. And could you remind me what is the ROE that's expected once the full -- once the project goes into service, post AFUDC period?
Steven Cocchi -- Senior Vice President & Chief Strategy and Development Officer
That's not something that we disclosed publicly. It's something that is negotiated with FERC, so it's...
Michael Renna -- President, Chief Executive Officer, Director
Yeah. We have -- yeah. The project is fully subscribed and 85% of those volumes are under confidential negotiated contracts with our base shippers. So, what we have said is that, we would expect to get FERC like returns, but we have not given any real detail as to what the exact ROE is. It's all negotiated.
David Arcaro -- Morgan Stanley -- Analyst
Okay. Got it. Thanks so much for the color.
Michael Renna -- President, Chief Executive Officer, Director
Got it.
Steven Cocchi -- Senior Vice President & Chief Strategy and Development Officer
Thanks, Dave.
Operator
Thank you. We do have a follow-up question from the line of Tate Sullivan with Maxim Group. Your line is now open.
Tate Sullivan -- Maxim Group -- Analyst
Hey, thanks for taking my follow up. Mike, I think you mentioned earlier, the wind down of the transition service agreement with Southern. Can you describe a little more how that work? Is it based on -- did you make bulk cash payments related to that? Or is it within the income that you repeat on Elizabethtown on a consistent basis over the year?
Michael Renna -- President, Chief Executive Officer, Director
The actual mechanics of the TSA, it's a part of the settlement agreement. The assets purchase agreement was a -- basically, a rate that we expected based on the amount of services that we would be receiving from Southern, which, over the past or over the 18 months or so, that we were expecting to be under the TSA, would reflect, again, our migration off of the TSA.
I think the two really important things, Tate, are we would expect to be off the services component of a -- somewhere around the middle of this year. That is the -- that's the dispatch function, that's the customer service support function, and a number of the other services that were provided out of Atlanta or Chicago, that were really kind of essential to utility operations. We have -- we're continuing to progress in terms of hours stating those service or those functions up, and allowing us to migrate off of them.
The other big piece, which is a little bit longer of a runway is the -- are the systems. We had to, basically, build all of the systems necessary to run a utility. So, from customer billing, to a financial system, to work management system, all of those systems -- they are Southern property. They are remaining with Southern's though. Before we can exit fully off the PSA, we have to have those systems up and running. And that is probably, I think, right now, we're targeting a first quarter -- early first quarter 2020 exit from the systems.
Tate Sullivan -- Maxim Group -- Analyst
Okay. Thank you. And real quickly, cash flow from operations in the quarter was $200 million. That usually drops in the second quarter. Was there something abnormal in the quarter?
Cielo Hernandez -- Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer
No. No. There is nothing abnormal in the quarter.
Tate Sullivan -- Maxim Group -- Analyst
Okay. Thank you. Okay. Thanks for taking the follow-ups.
Operator
Thank you. And we do have a follow-up from the line of Stephen Byrd with Morgan Stanley. Your line is now open.
David Arcaro -- Morgan Stanley -- Analyst
Hi. Thanks. Dave Arcaro again here. Just had one more quick question around Elizabethtown. I was just wondering, if you were to get the equity layer of 52% as requested, I'm wondering if you'd be able to fit that into your current financing plans? Or if that might require potentially just equity? Or how you might go about financing such an equity layer?
Ann Anthony -- Treasurer
Sure. This is Ann Anthony. So, I don't think that we would envision additional equity needs in order to actually achieve that equity layer down at Elizabethtown. We will be able to accommodate that within the current financing plan.
David Arcaro -- Morgan Stanley -- Analyst
Got it. Thanks so much.
Operator
Thank you. And that does conclude today's question-and-answer session. I would now like to turn the call back to Dan Fidell for any further remarks.
