                                AMENDMENT TO THE
                                SCANA CORPORATION
                      EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN


               WHEREAS,  SCANA Corporation (the "Company") established the SCANA
          Corporation  Executive  Deferred  Compensation Plan (the "Plan"),  and
          most recently amended and restated the Plan effective January 1, 2001;
          and WHEREAS,  in accordance with Section 10.9 of the Plan, the Company
          reserves the right to amend the Plan; NOW,  THEREFORE,  IT IS RESOLVED
          effective  February 20, 2003,  unless otherwise  provided herein,  the
          Plan  shall be  amended as  follows  (additions  bold and  underlined,
          deletions  struck-through):

         1.  Section 3.2 of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

         3.2 Participation. An Employee who meets the eligibility requirements
         of Section 3.1 may become a Participant in this Plan by electing to
         defer a portion of his Excess Compensation or Performance Share Award
         on such form and in such manner as determined by the Committee pursuant
         to Section 4. Eligible Employees who are participants in the Qualified
         Plan may automatically be deemed to have elected to defer a portion of
         their Excess Compensation hereunder in accordance with Section 4.

         2. Section 4.1(d) of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

                  (d) Deferral Procedures for Basic and Additional Deferrals.
         All elections under Section 4.1(a) and Section 4.1(b) must be made at
         such time and in such manner as specified by the Committee prior to the
         payroll period in which such Excess Compensation is otherwise earned.
         The Committee may, in its discretion, establish a default procedure
         whereby an Eligible Employee shall automatically be deemed to have
         elected to defer under this Plan the same percentage of his or her
         annual base salary as the deferral percentage in effect for such
         Eligible Employee under the Qualified Plan immediately prior to the
         Eligible Employee's participation in a given Year under this Plan. Once
         a Basic Deferral or Additional Deferral election is made (or deemed to
         be made) for a Year, it shall remain in effect for all future Excess
         Compensation otherwise payable in all future pay periods during that
         Year and any subsequent year until affirmatively changed by the
         Participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the procedures
         implemented hereunder. Participants may amend their Basic Deferral or
         Additional Deferral elections at any time, with respect to Excess
         Compensation to be earned after the date of such modified election. The
         Committee is permitted but not required to establish deferral
         procedures pursuant to which Participants are eligible to make separate
         deferral elections with respect to base salary and short-term incentive
         awards. Pursuant to such procedures, effective February 20, 2003,
         deferral elections (or modifications of prior elections) with respect
         to short-term incentive awards earned for any Year must be made prior
         to the first day of the sixth month before the end of the applicable
         performance cycle with respect to which the short-term incentive award
         is earned. Eligible Employee Basic Deferrals and Additional Deferrals
         shall be credited to the Participant's EDCP Ledger(s) at such times and
         in such manner as determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion,
         but no less frequently than monthly.

         3. Section 4.1(e) of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

                  (e) Deferral Procedures for Bonus Deferrals. Effective for
         elections made for three-year award cycles ending prior to February 20,
         2003, eElections made under Section 4.1(c) must be made no later than
         the end of the second Year of any three-year award cycle established
         under the Performance Share Award portion of the SCANA Corporation
         Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan, and shall apply to the
         Participant's award that is otherwise payable, if at all, in the Year
         following the end of the three-year award cycleYear beginning
         immediately after the date the deferral election is made. Effective for
         elections made for three-year award cycles ending after February 20,
         2003, elections made under Section 4.1(c) must be made no later than
         the first day of the sixth month prior to the end of any three-year
         award cycle established under the Performance Share Award portion of
         the SCANA Corporation Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan, and shall
         apply to the Participant's award that is otherwise payable, if at all,
         in the Year following the end of the three-year award cycle. Any Bonus
         Deferral election made for any Year shall apply solely with respect to
         the award otherwise payable in that Year and not any future Year.
         Eligible Employee Bonus Deferrals shall be credited to the
         Participant's EDCP Ledger(s) in such manner as determined by the
         Committee, in its sole discretion, but no later than as of the last
         business day of the month following the month in which the
         Participant's Performance Share Award is otherwise payable.

         4. Section 4.2 of the Plan is amended to read as follows:

         4.2 Crediting of Employer Matching Deferrals. Effective as of January
         1, 2002, a Participant who has elected to have a Basic Deferral under
         Section 4.1(a) will automatically be credited with an amount equal to
         the Employer Matching Contribution to which the Participant would have
         been entitled under the Qualified Plan had his Basic Deferrals under
         this Plan been made under the Qualified Plan, disregarding any Code
         Limitations. Effective for deferrals made on or after February 20,
         2003, any Participant who has elected to make a deferral under Section
         4.1(a) or 4.1(b) for a Plan Year will be credited with an Employer
         Matching Deferral for such Plan Year of an amount equal to such
         deferral, provided that the total amount of a Participant's Employer
         Matching Deferral for any Plan Year shall not exceed an amount equal to
         6% of the Participant's Excess Compensation. Such Employer Matching
         Deferrals shall be credited to each the Participant's "termination of
         employment" EDCP Ledger at such times and in such manner as the
         Committee, in its sole discretion determines, but no less frequently
         than monthly. For periods prior to January 1, 2002, a Participant shall
         be entitled to an Employer Matching Deferral in accordance with the
         terms of Appendix A.

         RESOLVED FURTHER, that the proper officers of the Company are
authorized and directed to take all such actions, execute all such documents,
and undertake any other actions that are necessary or desirable, in their
discretion, to effectuate the foregoing resolution in connection with the
implementation of the above described actions.
