LOS ANGELES, May 13 (Reuters) - The 552-megawatt Sempra Energy (SRE.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Occidental Petroleum (OXY.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) natural gas-fired power plant returned to service on Tuesday after being off-line since April 24, a California power grid operator daily report showed on Tuesday.
