The Registrants

SCANA

SCANA is an energy-based holding company which, through its subsidiaries, engages principally in electric and natural gas utility operations and other energy-related businesses.  Through its subsidiaries, the Company serves more than 630,000 electric customers in South Carolina and more than 1.2 million natural gas customers in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia.

SCANA is a South Carolina corporation with general business powers, and was incorporated on October 10, 1984.  SCANA's principal executive office is located at 1426 Main Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201, telephone (803) 217-9000, and its mailing address is Columbia, South Carolina 29218.

Regulated Utilities

The Company operates its regulated utility businesses in North Carolina and South Carolina through wholly-owned subsidiaries.  These regulated businesses continue to be the foundation of the Company's operations and are conducted in an environment supported by growing service territories and favorable regulatory treatment.  The Company is allowed, subject to state commission approval during annual fuel and purchased gas cost hearings, full pass-through to retail customers of its electric fuel and natural gas costs.  This approval has historically been granted.  There is also a weather normalization clause in effect for the Company's natural gas customers of North Carolina and South Carolina.  These measures mitigate the Company's commodity price risk and allows it to focus its efforts on serving its customers. The following is a discussion of the Company's principal regulated utility subsidiaries other than SCE&G, which is described below under the heading "SCE&G."

Public Service Company of North Carolina, Incorporated ("PSNC Energy").  PSNC Energy is a public utility engaged primarily in purchasing, selling, transporting and distributing natural gas to approximately 439,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers in North Carolina.  PSNC Energy’s franchised service area includes 28 counties covering approximately 12,000 square miles of North Carolina.

PSNC Energy is regulated by the North Carolina Utilities Commission ("NCUC").  PSNC Energy’s rates are established using a benchmark cost of gas approved by the NCUC, which may be modified periodically to reflect changes in the market price of natural gas and changes in the rates charged by PSNC Energy’s pipeline transporters.  The NCUC reviews PSNC Energy’s gas purchasing practices and prices each year.
 
Carolina Gas Transmission Corporation ("CGTC").  CGTC operates as an open access, transportation-only interstate pipeline company and is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

CGTC transports natural gas in southeastern Georgia and in South Carolina and has interconnections with Southern Natural Gas Company ("Southern Natural") at Port Wentworth, Georgia and with Southern LNG, Inc. at Elba Island, near Savannah, Georgia.  CGTC also has interconnections with Southern Natural in Aiken County, South Carolina, and with Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corporation ("Transco") in Cherokee and Spartanburg counties, South Carolina.  CGTC’s customers include SCE&G (which uses natural gas for electricity generation and for gas distribution to retail customers), SCANA Energy Marketing, Inc. (which markets natural gas to industrial and sale for resale customers, primarily in the Southeast), other natural gas utilities, municipalities and county gas authorities, and industrial customers primarily engaged in the manufacturing or processing of ceramics, paper, metal, food and textiles.

Principal Nonregulated Business

SCANA Energy Marketing, Inc.  SCANA Energy Marketing, Inc. markets natural gas primarily in the southeastern United States, and provides energy-related risk management services to producers and customers.  A division of SCANA Energy Marketing, Inc., SCANA Energy, markets natural gas in Georgia’s deregulated natural gas market.  At June 30, 2007, SCANA Energy had more than 475,000 natural gas customers in the deregulated Georgia market and serves as Georgia's regulated provider under a contract with the Georgia Public Service Commission.  SCANA Energy is the second-largest marketer in Georgia’s non-regulated retail gas market.  SCANA Energy faces significant competition in the Georgia natural gas market.

SCE&G

SCE&G is a regulated public utility engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity and the purchase, sale and transportation, primarily at retail, of natural gas in South Carolina.  SCE&G’s electric service area extends into 24 counties covering more than 17,000 square miles of the central, southern and southwestern portions of South Carolina.  SCE&G’s service area for natural gas encompasses more than 23,000 square miles in all or part of 35 of South Carolina’s 46 counties.  The total population of the counties representing SCE&G’s combined service area is more than 3.0 million.  SCE&G's principal executive office is located at 1426 Main Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201, telephone (803) 217-9000, and its mailing address is Columbia, South Carolina 29218.

SCE&G provides all of its electric generation capacity through its own facilities and through the purchase of all of the electric generation of Williams Station, which is owned by South Carolina Generating Company, Inc. ("GENCO"), a wholly owned subsidiary of SCANA.  SCE&G maintains a balanced supply and demand position as it relates to electric generation.

SCE&G also operates and has a two-thirds interest in V. C. Summer Nuclear Station in South Carolina.  This station furnished approximately 19% of SCE&G’s electric generating capacity in 2006.

The information above concerning us and our subsidiaries is only a summary and does not purport to be comprehensive.  For additional information concerning us and our subsidiaries, you should refer to the information described in "Where You Can Find More Information."
 

Risk Factors

Investing in our securities involves a significant degree of risk.  In deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider those risk factors included in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our most recent annual reports on Form 10-K, as supplemented by our quarterly reports after such annual report on Form 10-Q, each of which is incorporated herein by reference, and those risk factors that may be included in the applicable pricing or prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information presented in this prospectus, any pricing or prospectus supplement and the documents we have incorporated by reference.  Each of these factors could materially adversely affect our operations, financial results and the market price of our securities.

1
For purposes of these ratios, earnings represent pre-tax income from continuing operations plus fixed charges and distributed income from equity investees, less preferred stock dividend requirements.  Fixed charges represent interest charges, preferred security dividend requirements and the estimated interest portion of annual rentals.  Preference security dividends represent pre-tax earnings that are required to pay the dividends on SCE&G’s outstanding preferred stock.

2
The decrease in the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for 2002 reflects a $230 million impairment charge related to the acquisition adjustment associated with PSNC Energy, and the recording of impairments on SCANA’s investments in certain telecommunications securities.  An additional $106.8 million in income before income taxes would have been needed to obtain a ratio of 1.0 for 2002.

Use of Proceeds

Unless we state otherwise in a pricing or prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus will be used for financing capital expenditures, for refunding, redeeming or retiring debt and preferred stock and for other general corporate purposes. Pending application of the net proceeds for specific purposes, we may invest the proceeds in short-term or marketable securities.

Description of the Medium Term Notes

General

SCANA will issue the Notes under an Indenture dated as of November 1, 1989 (the "Note Indenture") between SCANA and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (successor to The Bank of New York), as trustee (the "Note Trustee").  A copy of the Note Indenture has been incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The information in this heading "Description of the Medium Term Notes" briefly outlines some of the provisions of the Note Indenture.  Please review the Note Indenture that we filed with the SEC for a full statement of those provisions.  See "Where You Can Find More Information" on how to obtain a copy of the Note Indenture.  You may also review the Note Indenture at the Note Trustee's offices at 101 Barclay Street 8W, New York, New York 10286.

Capitalized terms used and defined under this heading "Description of the Medium Term Notes" have the meanings given such terms as defined herein.  Capitalized terms used under this heading which are not otherwise defined in this prospectus have the meanings given those terms in the Note Indenture. The summaries under this heading "Description of the Medium Term Notes" are not detailed.  Whenever particular provisions of the Note Indenture or terms defined in the Note Indenture are referred to, those statements are qualified by reference to the Note Indenture.  References to article and section numbers under this heading "Description of the Medium Term Notes," unless otherwise indicated, are references to article and section numbers of the Note Indenture.

The Notes and all other debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness issued under the Note Indenture will be unsecured and will in all respects be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the Note Indenture, without preference, priority or distinction, and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of SCANA.  The Note Indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that can be issued thereunder, and we may issue Notes in one or more series.  The Note Indenture also allows us to "reopen" any series of debt securities (including any series of Notes)  by issuing additional debt securities of that series, if permitted by the terms of that series.

Each pricing supplement which accompanies this prospectus in connection with an offering of Notes will set forth some or all of the following information to describe a particular series of Notes:

·  
any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the Notes;

·  
the date or dates on which the principal of the Notes will be payable;

·  
the rate or rates at which the Notes will bear interest, if any (or the method of calculating the rate); the date or dates from which the interest will accrue; the date or dates on which the interest will be payable ("Interest Payment Dates"); the record dates for the interest payable on the Interest Payment Dates; and the basis upon which interest will be calculated if other than of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months;

·  
any option on the part of us or the holders thereof  to redeem the Notes and redemption terms and conditions;

·  
any obligation on our part to redeem or purchase the Notes in accordance with any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of the holder and the relevant terms and conditions for that redemption or purchase;

·  
the denominations of the Notes;

·  
whether the Notes are subject to a book-entry system of transfers and payments; and

·  
any other particular terms of the Notes and of their offering. (Section 301)



Payment of Notes; Transfers; Exchanges

Unless otherwise provided in a pricing supplement, we will pay any interest due on each Note to the person in whose name that Note is registered as of the close of business on the record date relating to each Interest Payment Date.  However, we will pay interest when the Notes mature (whether the Notes mature on their stated date of maturity, the date the Notes are redeemed or otherwise) to the person to whom the principal payment on the Notes is paid. If there is a default in the payment of interest on the Notes, we may either (1) choose a special record date and pay the holders of the Notes at the close of business on that date, or (2) pay the holders of the Notes in any other lawful manner, all as more fully described in the Note Indenture. (Section 307)

We will pay principal of, and any premium and interest due on, the Notes at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment of a Note upon surrender of that Note at the office of the paying agent (currently, the Note Trustee in New York, New York). (Sections 307, 308 and 1105) The applicable pricing supplement identifies any other place of payment and any other paying agent.  We may change the place at which the Notes will be payable, may appoint one or more additional paying agents and may remove any paying agent, all at our discretion. (Section 1002)  Further, if we provide money to a paying agent to be used to make payments of principal of, premium (if any) or interest on any Note and that money has not rightfully been claimed two years after the applicable principal, premium or interest payment is due, then we may instruct the paying agent to remit that money to us, and any holder of a Note seeking those payments may thereafter look only to us for that money.  (Section 1003)

Except as provided in the following sentence or in a pricing supplement, if principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the Notes is payable on a day which is not a Business Day, payment thereof will be postponed to the next Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue as a result of the delayed payment.  However, for LIBOR Rate Notes, if the next Business Day is in the next calendar month, interest will be paid on the preceding Business Day and interest shall accrue through the date immediately preceding the date of payment for regularly scheduled interest payment dates (other than the maturity date). (Section 114)

"Business Day"  means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday that (1) is not a day on which banking institutions in Washington, D.C., or in New York, New York, are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed, and (2) with respect to LIBOR Rate Notes only, is a day on which dealings in deposits in U. S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market.

The "record date" will be 15 calendar days prior to each Interest Payment Date, whether or not that day is a Business Day, unless otherwise indicated in this prospectus or in the applicable pricing supplement.

All percentages resulting from any calculation of Notes will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one-hundred thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or 0.09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or 0.0987655) and 9.876544% (or 0.09876544) being rounded to 9.87654% (or 0.0987654)), and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

You may transfer or exchange the Notes for other Notes of the same series, in authorized denominations (which are, unless otherwise stated in the pricing supplement, denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof), and of like aggregate principal amount, at our office or agency in New York, New York (currently, the Note Trustee).  At our discretion, we may change the place for registration and transfer of the Notes, and we may appoint one or more additional security registrars and remove any security registrar.  The pricing supplement will identify any additional place for registration of transfer and any additional security registrar.  You are not responsible for paying a service charge for any transfer or exchange of the Notes, but you may have to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes.  (Sections 305 and 1004).

For additional information with respect to the rights of the owners of beneficial interests in Notes subject to a book-entry system of transfers and payments, see "Book-Entry System."

Interest Rates Payable on Notes

We have provided a glossary at the end of this heading to define the capitalized words used in discussing the interest rates payable on the Notes. Whenever we refer to time in this section, we mean the time as in effect in New York, New York, unless otherwise specified.

The interest rate on the Notes will either be fixed or floating.

Fixed Rate Notes

If we issue Notes that bear interest at a fixed rate (the "Fixed Rate Notes"), the applicable pricing supplement will designate the fixed rate of interest payable on the Notes.  Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable pricing supplement:

·  
Interest on Fixed Rate Notes will be payable semi-annually each April 1 and October 1 and at maturity or upon earlier redemption or repayment.

·  
Record dates for Fixed Rate Notes will be March 15 (for interest to be paid on April 1) and September 15 (for interest to be paid on October 1). Interest payments will be the amount of interest accrued to, but excluding, each April 1 and October 1.

·  
Interest will be computed using a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

Floating Rate Notes

General.  Each Note that bears interest at a floating rate (the "Floating Rate Notes") will have an interest rate formula which may be based on one of the following base rates, as determined by the applicable pricing supplement:

·  
the commercial paper rate (the "Commercial Paper Rate Note");

·  
LIBOR (the "LIBOR Rate Note");

·  
the treasury rate (the "Treasury Rate Note"); or

·  
any other base rate specified in the applicable pricing supplement.

The applicable pricing supplement will also indicate the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any.  The interest rates applicable to the Floating Rate Notes will be equal to one of the base rates, plus or minus the Spread, if any, or multiplied by the Spread Multiplier, if any.  Any Floating Rate Note may have either or both of the following:

·  
a maximum numerical interest rate limitation, or ceiling, on the rate of interest that accrues during any interest period; and

·  
a minimum numerical interest rate limitation, or floor, on the rate of interest that accrues during any interest period.

In addition, the interest rate on a Floating Rate Note will never be higher than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, including United States law of general application.

Date of Interest Rate Change.  The interest rate on each Floating Rate Note may be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually or for any other period specified in the applicable pricing supplement.  The Interest Reset Date will be:

·  
for Floating Rate Notes which reset daily, each Business Day;

·  
for Floating Rate Notes (other than Treasury Rate Notes) that reset weekly, Wednesday of each week;

·  
for Treasury Rate Notes that reset weekly, Tuesday of each week;

·  
for Floating Rate Notes that reset monthly, the third Wednesday of each month;

·  
for Floating Rate Notes that reset quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December;

·  
for Floating Rate Notes that reset semi-annually, the third Wednesday of the two months specified in the applicable pricing supplement;

·  
for Floating Rate Notes that reset annually, the third Wednesday of the month specified in the applicable pricing supplement; and

·  
for Floating Rate Notes which reset for other periods, the day of the week and month or months specified in the applicable pricing supplement.

The initial interest rate or interest rate formula on each Floating Rate Note effective until the first Interest Reset Date will be shown in a pricing supplement. Thereafter, the interest rate will be the rate determined on the next Interest Determination Date, as explained below. Each time a new interest rate is determined, it will become effective on the subsequent Interest Reset Date. If any Interest Reset Date is not a Business Day, then the Interest Reset Date will be postponed to the next Business Day.  However, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Note, if the next Business Day is in the next calendar month, the Interest Reset Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day.  Further, if an applicable auction of Treasury Bills (as defined herein) falls on a day that would otherwise be an Interest Reset Date for Treasury Rate Notes, the Interest Reset Date will be the next Business Day.

When Interest Rate is Determined.  The Interest Determination Date for the Commercial Paper Rate (the "Commercial Paper Interest Determination Date") and for LIBOR (the "LIBOR Interest Determination Date") will be the second Business Day preceding each Interest Reset Date.  The Interest Determination Date for the Treasury Rate (the "Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date") will be the day on which Treasury Bills would normally be auctioned. Treasury Bills are usually sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday, in which case the auction is usually held on Tuesday. However, the auction may be held on the preceding Friday. If an auction is held on the preceding Friday, that day will be the Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next week.

When Interest is Paid. Interest on Floating Rate Notes will be payable monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually, as provided in the applicable pricing supplement. Except as provided below or in the pricing supplement, interest is paid as follows:

·  
for Floating Rate Notes on which interest is payable monthly, the third Wednesday of each month;

·  
for Floating Rate Notes on which interest is payable quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December;

·  
for Floating Rate Notes on which interest is payable semi-annually, the third Wednesday of the two months specified in the applicable pricing supplement; and

·  
for Floating Rate Notes on which interest is payable annually, the third Wednesday of the month specified in the applicable pricing supplement.

The interest payable for Floating Rate Notes (other than those Floating Rate Notes which reset daily or weekly) will be the amount of interest accrued (1) from and including the date the applicable Floating Rate Notes were issued or (2) from but excluding the last date for which interest has been paid, to but excluding the Interest Payment Date or maturity date, as applicable, for those Floating Rate Notes. For Floating Rate Notes which reset daily or weekly, the interest payable will be the amount of interest accrued (a) from and including the date the applicable Floating Rate Notes were issued, or (b) from but excluding the last date for which interest has been paid, to and including the day immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, other than the maturity date (for which interest is payable to but excluding the maturity date for those Floating Rate Notes).

The accrued interest for any period is calculated by multiplying the principal amount of a Floating Rate Note by an accrued interest factor.  The accrued interest factor is computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated.  The interest factor (expressed as a decimal) is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to that date by 360, except for Treasury Rate Notes, for which it will be divided by the actual number of days in the year.

Calculation of Interest on Floating Rate Notes.  We will calculate or will appoint and enter into an agreement with a Calculation Agent (as defined herein) to calculate the interest rates on Floating Rate Notes.

"Calculation Date" means, unless otherwise specified in a pricing supplement, the tenth calendar day after an Interest Determination Date or, if the tenth day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day.  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable pricing supplement, The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., is the "Calculation Agent" for the Floating Rate Notes, and, upon request of any holder of a Floating Rate Note, will provide (1) the interest rate then in effect and (2) if available, the interest rate to be effective on the next Interest Reset Date for that Floating Rate Note.

Commercial Paper Rate Notes.  Each Commercial Paper Rate Note will bear interest at the rate (calculated with reference to the Commercial Paper Rate and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any) specified in that Commercial Paper Rate Note and in the applicable pricing supplement.

"Commercial Paper Rate" means, with respect to any Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date, the Money Market Yield (calculated as described below) on such date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable pricing supplement as published in H.15(519) under the heading "Commercial Paper-Nonfinancial."

The following procedures will occur if the rate cannot be set as described above:

·  
If the applicable rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate will be the Money Market Yield, on that Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date, of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable pricing supplement as published in H.15 Daily Update under the heading "Commercial Paper - Non-Financial," or any successor heading.

·  
If the applicable rate is not published in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, then the Commercial Paper Rate will be calculated by the Calculation Agent and will be the Money Market Yield of the average of the offered rates, as of approximately 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on that Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date, of three leading dealers of commercial paper in New York, New York selected by the Calculation Agent for commercial paper of the applicable Index Maturity placed for a non-financial issuer whose bond rating is "AA," or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized statistical rating agency.

·  
If fewer than three dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are  quoting rates as set forth above, the Commercial Paper Rate in effect for the applicable period will be the Commercial Paper Rate determined as of the immediately preceding Commercial Paper Rate Interest Determination Date.

LIBOR Rate Notes.  Each LIBOR Rate Note will bear interest at the rate (calculated with reference to LIBOR and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any) specified on the LIBOR Rate Note and in the applicable pricing supplement, determined by the Calculation Agent as follows:

The Calculation Agent will determine LIBOR as follows:

·  
With respect to any LIBOR Interest Determination Date, LIBOR will be the rate for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable pricing supplement, beginning on the second Business Day immediately after that date, that appears on Reuters on page LIBOR01 (or any other page as may replace such page on such service for the purpose of displaying the London interbank rates of major banks for the Designated LIBOR Currency ("Reuters Page LIBOR01")) as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on that date.

·  
If no such rate appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01, LIBOR for that date will be determined as follows:

(a)       LIBOR will be determined based on the rates at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on that LIBOR Interest Determination Date at which deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency having the applicable Index Maturity are offered by four major banks in the London interbank market to prime banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in that market at that time (a "Representative Amount").  The offered rates must begin on the second Business Day immediately after that LIBOR Interest Determination Date.

(b)       The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of the four banks mentioned in (a) above to provide a quotation of its rate.  If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR will equal the average of such quotations.

(c)       If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR will equal the average of the rates quoted as of 11:00 A.M, in the applicable Principal Financial Center, on that date by three major banks in the applicable Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent.  The rates will be for loans in the Designated LIBOR Currency to leading European banks having the Index Maturity specified in the pricing supplement beginning on the second Business Day after that date and in a Representative Amount.

(d)         If the banks selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in (c) above, the rate of interest in effect for the applicable period will be the same as the rate of interest in effect for the prior Interest Reset Period.

"Designated LIBOR Currency" means, with respect to any LIBOR Note, the currency (including composite currency units), if any, designated in the applicable pricing supplement as the currency for which LIBOR will be calculated.  If no such currency is designated in the Floating Rate Notes and the applicable pricing supplement, the Designated LIBOR Currency shall be U.S. dollars.

Treasury Rate Notes.  Each Treasury Rate Note will bear interest at the rate (calculated with reference to the Treasury Rate and the Spread and/or Spread Multiplier, if any) specified on the Treasury Rate Note and in the applicable pricing supplement.

"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date, the rate applicable to the most recent auction of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified in the applicable pricing supplement on the display on Reuters on page USAUCTION 10 or USAUCTION 11 (or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION 10 or USAUCTION 11) under the heading "INVEST RATE."

The following procedures will occur if the rate cannot be set as described above:

·  
If that rate is not published by 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the applicable Calculation Date, the rate will be the auction average rate (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) for such auction as otherwise announced by the United States Department of the Treasury.

·  
If the results of the auction of Treasury Bills having the applicable Index Maturity are not published or announced as described above by 3:00 P.M. on such Calculation Date, or if no such auction is held in a particular week, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent as follows:

(1)  The rate shall be calculated as a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the average of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 P.M. on such Treasury Rate Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the specified Index Maturity; and

(2)  If the dealers selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as mentioned in (1) above, the rate of interest in effect for the applicable period will be the rate of interest in effect for the prior interest reset period.

Redemptions

Redemption Elected by Us

As specified in the applicable pricing supplement, we may either (1) redeem the Notes or (2) not redeem the Notes, prior to their stated maturity.  If we can redeem the Notes, then the following terms will apply as specified in the applicable pricing supplement:

·  
we may redeem all or some of the Notes at one time;

·  
we may redeem Notes on any date or after the date specified as the "Initial Redemption Date" in the applicable pricing supplement; and

·  
we may redeem Notes at the price specified in the applicable pricing supplement, together with accrued interest to the redemption date. (Section 1101)

If we redeem some or all of the Notes, the Note Trustee must notify you between 30 and 60 (or such shorter period specified in the applicable pricing supplement) days before the redemption date (by first-class mail, postage prepaid) that some or all of the Notes will be redeemed.  (Sections 106 and 1104) Further, if only a part of a Note is redeemed, then the holder of the unredeemed part of that Note will receive one or more new Notes.  (Section 1107) The Notes will not be subject to any sinking fund.  (Section 1201)

Redemption Elected by You

You may be able to instruct us to purchase the Note that you hold before that Note reaches its stated maturity date in accordance with the terms of the Note. (Section 1301)   To the extent that you have the right to ask us to purchase any Note, the applicable pricing supplement will specify the terms of that right, including (1) the date or dates on which that Note may be sold by you and (2) the price (plus accrued interest) that we must pay you for that Note.

To instruct us to purchase your Note, you must deliver to the paying agent (currently, the Note Trustee), between 30 and 45 days before the date on which the Note may be sold by you, the following items:

·  
the Note;

·  
the completed form entitled "Option to Elect Repayment" which will be printed on the reverse side of the Note; and

·  
a fax or letter from (1) a member of a national securities exchange, (2) a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or (3) a U.S. commercial bank or trust company containing the following information:

    (a) your name;

    (b) the principal amount of the Note you wish to sell;

 
(c) the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of that Note;

 
(d) a statement that you are exercising your option to elect repayment of the Note you hold; and

 
(e) a guarantee that the Note and the completed form will be received by the paying agent within five Business Days after the date the fax or letter is received by the paying agent.

Once you tender the Note to be redeemed to the paying agent, you may not revoke your earlier election.  You may instruct us to purchase part of the Notes you hold, provided that the Notes you continue to hold after that redemption are outstanding in an authorized denomination of $1,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000.

If a series of Notes is held in book-entry form by DTC or its nominee, as more particularly described under the heading "Book-Entry System," only it (as the actual holder of the Notes) may instruct us to purchase those Notes. However, you, as the beneficial owner of the Notes, may direct the broker or other direct or indirect participant through which you hold an interest in the Notes to notify DTC of your desire to have your Notes purchased (which will in turn notify us according to the above-mentioned procedures).  Because different firms and brokers have different cut-off times for accepting instructions from their customers, you should consult your broker or other direct or indirect participant through which you hold an interest in the Notes to determine by when you must act, so that timely notice is delivered to DTC.

At any time, we may purchase the Notes or beneficial ownership interests in the Notes (if they are held in book-entry form) at any price in the open market or otherwise.  In our sole discretion, we may hold, resell or retire any Notes or beneficial ownership interests in those Notes that we purchase.

Defaults

The following are defaults under the Note Indenture with respect to debt securities issued under the Note Indenture:

 
(1)
We fail to make payment of principal and premium (if any) on the debt securities when due and payable at maturity,

 
(2)
We fail to make payment of any interest or any other amount when due and payable on the debt securities, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

 
(3)
We fail to deposit any sinking fund payment when due and payable on the debt securities, and such default continues for a period of three Business Days;

 
(4)
We file for bankruptcy or certain other events involving insolvency,
receivership or bankruptcy occur;

 
(5)
We fail to perform certain covenants or agreements contained in the Note Indenture;

 
(6)
Either we or our principal subsidiaries (notably SCE&G and GENCO) fail to make payment on certain indebtedness or otherwise fail to perform under such indebtedness.

Certain of these events become defaults only after the lapse of prescribed periods of time and/or notice from the Note Trustee. (Section 501)

Upon the occurrence of a default under the Note Indenture, either the Note Trustee or the holder of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of the affected series may declare the principal of all outstanding debt securities of that series immediately due and payable.  However, if the default is cured, the holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of the affected series may rescind that declaration and annul the declaration and its consequences.  (Section 502)

The holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of the affected series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for the enforcement of the Note Indenture.  (Section 512)

No holder of any debt security of any series has the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Note Indenture unless:

·  
the holder previously gave written notice of a continuing event of default relating to the debt securities of that series to the Note Trustee,

·  
the holders of more than 25% in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of the affected series tender to the Note Trustee reasonable indemnity against costs and liabilities and request the Note Trustee to take action, and the Note Trustee declines to take action for 60 days after receipt of such request, and

·  
the holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of the affected series give no inconsistent direction during such 60-day period;

provided, however, that each holder of a Note shall have the right to enforce payment of that Note when due.  (Sections 507 and 508)

The Note Trustee must notify the holders of the debt securities of any series within 90 days after a default has occurred with respect to those debt securities, unless that default has been cured or waived, provided, however, except in the case of default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any), or interest or other amount payable on any debt security, the Note Trustee may withhold the notice if it determines that it is in the interest of those holders to do so.  (Section 602)

We are required under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), to furnish to the Note Trustee at least once every year a certificate as to our compliance with the conditions and covenants under the Note Indenture.  (Section 1005)

Covenants, Consolidation, Merger, Etc.

The Note Indenture provides that we will keep the property that we use in our business, or in the business of our subsidiaries, in good working order, and will improve it as necessary to properly conduct our business and that of our subsidiaries, as the case may be. (Section 1007) Except as described in the next paragraph, the Note Indenture provides that we will also maintain our corporate existence, rights and franchises and those of SCE&G and GENCO (collectively, our "Principal Subsidiaries"). (Section 1006)  However, we are not required to preserve (a) the corporate existence of any of our subsidiaries other than our Principal Subsidiaries or (b) any such right or franchise if we determine that its preservation is not desirable in the conduct of our business or the business of our subsidiaries, consolidated as a whole, or its loss is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the holders of the outstanding debt securities of any series.  (Section 1006)

The Note Indenture provides that we may, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities, consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all of our assets to, or merge into another corporation, provided that (1) we are the continuing corporation, or, if not, the successor corporation assumes by a supplemental indenture our obligations under the Note Indenture and (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction there will be no default in the performance of any such obligations.  (Section 801)

The Note Indenture provides that neither we nor our subsidiaries may issue, assume or guarantee any notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for money borrowed ("Debt") secured by a mortgage, lien, pledge or other encumbrance ("Mortgages") upon any property of us or our subsidiaries without effectively providing that the debt securities of each series issued under the Note Indenture (together with, if we so determine, any other indebtedness or obligation then existing or thereafter created ranking equally with those debt securities) are secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt so long as such Debt is so secured, except that this restriction will not apply to:

(1)          Mortgages to secure Debt issued under

·  
the Indenture, dated April 1, 1993, between SCE&G and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (successor to NationsBank of Georgia, National Association),
·  
the Indenture, dated January 1, 1945, between SCE&G and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
·  
the Mortgage and Security Agreement, dated August 21, 1992, between GENCO and The Prudential Insurance  Company  of America, as amended and restated by the Amended and Restated Mortgage and Security Agreement dated February 11, 2004, between GENCO and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as Collateral Agent, and
·  
the  Indenture  of  Mortgage, dated  December 1, 1977,  between CGTC and Citibank, N.A.,

each as amended and supplemented to date and as it may be hereafter amended and supplemented from time to time ("Existing Mortgages"), or any extension, renewal or replacement of any of them;

(2)           Mortgages affecting property of a corporation existing at the time it becomes our subsidiary or at the time it is merged into or consolidated with us or one of our subsidiaries;

(3)           Mortgages on property existing at the time of acquisition thereof or incurred to secure payment of all or part of the purchase price thereof or to secure Debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 12 months after the acquisition for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase price thereof;

(4)           Mortgages on any property to secure all or part of the cost of construction or improvements thereon or Debt incurred to provide funds for such purpose in a principal amount not exceeding the cost of such construction or improvements;

(5)           Mortgages which secure only an indebtedness owing by one of our subsidiaries to us or to another of our subsidiaries;

(6)           certain Mortgages to government entities, including mortgages to secure debt incurred in pollution control or industrial revenue bond financings;

(7)           Mortgages required by any contract or statute in order to permit us or one of our subsidiaries to perform any contract or subcontract made with or at the request of the United States of America, any state or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of either;

(8)           Mortgages to secure loans to us or to our subsidiaries maturing within 12 months from the creation thereof and made in the ordinary course of business;

(9)           Mortgages on any property (including any natural gas, oil or other mineral property) to secure all or part of the cost of exploration, drilling or development thereof or to secure Debt incurred to provide funds for any such purpose;

(10)           Mortgages existing on the date of the Note Indenture;

(11)           "Excepted Encumbrances" and "Permitted Encumbrances" as such terms are defined in any of the Existing Mortgages;

(12)           certain Mortgages typically incurred in the ordinary course of business or arising from any litigation or any legal proceeding which is currently being contested in good faith; and

(13)           any extension, renewal or replacement of any Mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (2) through (12), which does not increase the amount of debt secured thereby at the time of the renewal, extension or modification.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Note Indenture provides that we and any or all of our subsidiaries may, without securing the debt securities, issue, assume or guarantee Debt secured by Mortgages in an aggregate principal amount which (not including Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (1) to (13) inclusive above) does not at any one time exceed 10% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (as hereinafter defined) of us and our subsidiaries.  (Section 1009)

"Consolidated Net Tangible Assets" is defined as the total amount of assets appearing on the consolidated balance sheet of us and our subsidiaries subtracting, without duplication, the following:

·  
reserves for depreciation and other asset valuation reserves but excluding reserves for deferred federal income taxes;

·  
intangible assets such as goodwill, trademarks, trade names, patents and unamortized debt discount and expense; and

·  
appropriate adjustments on account of minority interests of other persons holding voting stock in any of our subsidiaries.  (Section 101)

Modification, Waiver and Meetings

We may, without the consent of any holders of outstanding debt securities, enter into supplemental indentures for, including but not limited to, the following purposes:

·  
to add to our covenants for the benefit of the holders or to surrender a right or power conferred upon us in the Note Indenture,

·  
to secure the debt securities,

·  
to establish the form or terms of any series of debt securities, or

·  
to make certain other modifications, generally of a ministerial or immaterial nature. (Section 901)

We may amend the Note Indenture for other purposes only with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of each affected series of outstanding debt securities.  However, we may not amend the Note Indenture without the consent of the holder of each affected outstanding debt security for the following purposes:

·  
to change the stated maturity or redemption date of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any debt security or to reduce the principal amount, the interest rate of, any other amount payable in respect of or any premium payable on the redemption of any debt security;

·  
to reduce the principal amount of any debt security which is an Original Issue Discount Security (as defined in the Note Indenture) that would be due upon a declaration of acceleration of that security's maturity;

·  
to change the place or currency of any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any debt security;

·  
to impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any debt security after the stated maturity or redemption date of that debt security;

·  
to reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of any series for which the consent of the holders is required to modify or amend the Note Indenture or to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Note Indenture, or reduce certain quorum or voting requirements of the Note Indenture; or

·  
to modify the foregoing requirements or reduce the percentage of outstanding debt securities necessary to modify other provisions of the Note Indenture or waive any past default thereunder. (Section 902)

Except with respect to certain fundamental provisions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding debt securities of any series may waive past defaults with respect to that series and may waive our compliance with certain provisions of the Note Indenture with respect to that series.  (Sections 513 and 1010)

Description of the Common Stock

General

The rights of shareholders of the Common Stock are currently governed by the South Carolina Business Corporation Act, and the restated articles of incorporation and bylaws of SCANA, copies of which restated articles of incorporation and bylaws have been incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The following summary describes the material rights of SCANA's shareholders.  The summaries under this heading are not detailed.  Whenever particular provisions of the restated articles of incorporation or bylaws of SCANA are referred to, those statements are qualified by reference to those restated articles of incorporation or bylaws.

Authorized Capital Stock:  Under the South Carolina Business Corporation Act, a corporation may not issue a greater number of shares than have been authorized by its articles of incorporation. The authorized capital stock of SCANA consists of 150,000,000 shares of SCANA common stock, no par value, and no shares of preferred stock. At the close of business on June 30, 2007, approximately 116,700,000 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, and not more than 7.5 million shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to our benefit plans and the Investor Plus Plan.

Voting:  Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share held on the applicable record date with respect to each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, and may not cumulate their votes.

Dividends:  Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.

Liquidation Rights:  In the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs, the holders of the Common Stock would be entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to shareholders of our common stock remaining after payment in full of liabilities.

Preemptive Rights:  Holders of the Common Stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares when we offer for sale additional shares of our common stock.

Provisions Relating to Change in Control

Our restated articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of SCANA. These provisions are summarized below.

Corporate Governance Provisions

SCANA's restated articles of incorporation provide that its board of directors is subdivided into three classes, with each class as nearly equal in number of directors as possible. Each class of directors serves for three years and one class is elected each year. SCANA currently has ten directors (in classes with terms expiring in 2008, 2009 and 2010). SCANA's restated articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that:

·  the authorized number of directors may range from a minimum of nine to a maximum of 20, as determined from time to time by the directors;

·  directors can be removed only (x) for cause or (y) otherwise by the affirmative vote of the holders of 80 percent of the shares of SCANA's stock who are entitled to vote; and

·  vacancies and newly created directorships on SCANA's board of directors can be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, and any new director elected to fill a vacancy will serve until the next shareholders' meeting at which directors of any class are elected.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Certain provisions of our restated articles of incorporation and bylaws of may have the effect of discouraging unilateral tender offers or other attempts to take over and acquire our business. These provisions might discourage some potentially interested purchaser from attempting a unilateral takeover bid for us on terms which some shareholders might favor.

SCANA's restated articles of incorporation require that certain corporate actions and fundamental transactions must be approved by the holders of 80 percent of the outstanding shares of its capital stock entitled to vote on the matter unless a majority of the members of its board of directors (other than members related to the potentially interested purchaser or other person attempting to take over our business) has approved the action or transaction, in which case the required shareholder approval will be the minimum approval required by applicable law.  The corporate actions or fundamental transactions that are subject to these provisions of SCANA's restated articles of incorporation are those corporate actions or transactions that require approval by shareholders under applicable law or its restated articles of incorporation, including certain amendments of its restated articles of incorporation or bylaws, certain transactions involving its merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution or winding up, certain sales or other dispositions of our assets or the assets of any of our subsidiaries, certain issuances (or reclassifications) of our securities or the securities of any of its subsidiaries or certain recapitalizations of transactions that have the effect of increasing the voting power of the potentially interested purchaser or other person attempting to take over its business.

Prevention of Greenmail

SCANA's restated articles of incorporation provide that it cannot purchase any of its outstanding common stock at a price it knows to be more than the market price from a person who is known to it to be the beneficial owner of more than three percent of its outstanding common stock and who has purchased or agreed to purchase any shares of its common stock within the most recent two-year period, without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of its common stock other than such person, unless SCANA offers to purchase any and all of the outstanding shares of common stock.

Description of the First Mortgage Bonds

General

SCE&G will issue the New Bonds in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of April 1, 1993, between SCE&G and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (successor to NationsBank of Georgia, National Association), as trustee (the  "Bond Trustee"), as supplemented (the "Mortgage").  The New Bonds and all other debt securities issued and outstanding under the Mortgage are referred to in this prospectus as the "Bonds." A copy of the Mortgage has been incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The information under this heading "Description of the First Mortgage Bonds" briefly outlines some of the provisions of the Mortgage.  Please review the Mortgage that we filed with the SEC for a full statement of those provisions.  See "Where You Can Find More Information" on how to obtain a copy of the Mortgage.  You may also review the Mortgage at the Bond Trustee's offices at 100 Ashford Center North, Suite 520, Atlanta, Georgia 30338.

Capitalized terms used and defined under this heading "Description of the First Mortgage Bonds" have the meanings given such terms as defined herein.  Capitalized terms used under this heading "Description of the First Mortgage Bonds" which are not otherwise defined in this prospectus have the meanings given those terms in the Mortgage. The summaries under this heading "Description of the First Mortgage Bonds" are not detailed.  Whenever particular provisions of the Mortgage or terms defined in the Mortgage are referred to, those statements are qualified by reference to the Mortgage.  References to article and section numbers under this heading "Description of the First Mortgage Bonds," unless otherwise indicated, are references to article and section numbers of the Mortgage.

Provisions of a Particular Series

The New Bonds of a series need not be issued at the same time, bear interest at the same rate or mature on the same date.  Unless otherwise provided in the terms of a series, a series may be reopened, without notice to or consent of any holder of outstanding Bonds, for issuances of additional New Bonds of that series.  Each prospectus supplement which accompanies this prospectus will set forth the following information to describe the series of New Bonds related to that prospectus supplement, unless the information is the same as the information included in this section:

·  
the title of the series of New Bonds;

·  
the aggregate principal amount and any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the series of New Bonds;

·  
the date or dates on which the principal of the series of New Bonds will be payable, and any right that we have to change the date on which principal is payable;

·  
the rate or rates at which the series of New Bonds will bear interest, if any (or the method of calculating the rate);

·  
the date or dates from which the interest will accrue;

·  
the dates on which the interest will be payable ("Interest Payment Dates");

·  
the record dates for the interest payable on the Interest Payment Dates;

·  
any option on our part to redeem the series of New Bonds and redemption terms and conditions;

·  
any obligation on our part to redeem or purchase the series of New Bonds in accordance with any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of the holder and the relevant terms and conditions for that redemption or purchase;

·  
the denominations of the series of New Bonds;

·  
if the amount of the principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the series of New Bonds is determined with reference to an index or other facts or events ascertainable outside of the Mortgage, the manner in which such amount may be determined;

·  
any variation to the definition  of "Business Day" as defined in the Mortgage;

·  
the portion of the principal payable upon acceleration of maturity, if other than the entire principal amount;

·  
whether the series of New Bonds is subject to a book-entry system of transfers and payments; and

·  
any other particular terms of the series of New Bonds and of its offering. (Section 201)

Payment of New Bonds; Transfers; Exchanges

We will pay any interest which is due on each New Bond to the person in whose name that New Bond is registered as of the close of business on the record date relating to the Interest Payment Date. (Section 207)  However, we will pay interest which is payable when the New Bonds mature (whether the New Bonds mature on their stated date of maturity, the date the New Bonds are redeemed or otherwise) to the person to whom the relevant principal payment on the New Bonds is to be paid.

We will pay principal of, and any premium and interest on, the New Bonds at our office or agency in Atlanta, Georgia (currently, the Bond Trustee). The applicable prospectus supplement for any series of New Bonds will specify any other place of payment and any other paying agent.  We may change the place at which the New Bonds will be payable, may appoint one or more additional paying agents (including us) and may remove any paying agent, all at our discretion. (Section 702)

Except as provided in a prospectus supplement, if principal of or premium (if any) or interest on the New Bonds is payable on a day which is not a Business Day, payment thereof may be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest will accrue as a result of the delayed payment.

"Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions or trust companies in Atlanta, Georgia are generally authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to remain closed.

You may transfer or exchange the New Bonds for other New Bonds of the same series, in authorized denominations (which are, unless otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement, denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof), and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, at our office or agency in Atlanta, Georgia (currently, the Bond Trustee).  At our discretion, we may change the place for registration and transfer of the New Bonds, and we may appoint one or more additional security registrars (including us) and remove any security registrar.  The prospectus supplement will identify any additional place for registration of transfer and any additional security registrar.  You are not responsible for paying a service charge for any transfer or exchange of the New Bonds, but you may have to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of the New Bonds.  (Sections 202 and 205)

For additional information with respect to the rights of the owners of beneficial interests in New Bonds subject to a book-entry system of transfers and payments, see "Book-Entry System."

Redemption

The New Bonds are subject to redemption, as set forth in the relevant prospectus supplement, only upon notice by mail (unless waived) not less than 30 days (or such other period set forth in the relevant prospectus supplement) prior to the redemption date.  If less than all the New Bonds of a series are to be redeemed, the particular New Bonds to be redeemed will be selected by the method as shall be provided for any particular series, or in the absence of any such provision, by any method as the security registrar deems fair and appropriate. (Sections 109, 903 and 904)

We may, in any notice of redemption, make any redemption conditional upon receipt by the Bond Trustee, on or prior to the date fixed for redemption, of money sufficient to pay the redemption price.  If the Bond Trustee has not received that money, we will not be required to redeem those New Bonds and we will then give notice to that effect. (Section 904)

Security

General

The New Bonds will be equally and ratably secured with all other Bonds issued under the Mortgage.  The Bonds are secured by the lien of the Mortgage on substantially all of our properties used in the generation, purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity and any other property which we may elect to subject to the lien of the Mortgage.

If we merge or are consolidated with another corporation and certain conditions set forth in the Mortgage are satisfied, the existing mortgage or deed of trust or similar indenture entered into by such corporation may be designated as a "Class A Mortgage" and bonds issued thereunder would be "Class A Bonds" for purpose of the Mortgage.  In that event, the Bonds will be secured, additionally, by such Class A Bonds as may be issued under the Class A Mortgage and deposited with the Bond Trustee and by the lien of the Mortgage, which lien would be junior to the lien of Class A Mortgage with respect to the property subject to such Class A  Mortgage.  (Section 1206) Presently, we have no Class A Bonds outstanding.

Lien of the Mortgage

The lien of the Mortgage is subject to the prior first mortgage lien of a Class A Mortgage, if any, liens on after-acquired property existing at the time of acquisition and various permitted liens, including:

·  
tax liens, mechanics', materialmen's and similar liens and certain employees' liens, in each case, which are not delinquent and which are being contested,

·  
certain judgment liens and easements, reservations and rights of others (including governmental entities) in, and defects of title to, the property subject to the lien of the Mortgage which do not materially impair its use by us,

·  
certain leases, and

·  
certain other liens (including but not limited to liens which are immaterial to our operations) and encumbrances.  (Granting Clauses and Section 101)

 
The following, among other things, are excepted from the lien of the Mortgage:

·  
cash and securities not held under the Mortgage,

·  
contracts, leases and other agreements, bills, notes and other instruments, receivables, claims, certain intellectual property rights and other general intangibles,

·  
automotive and similar vehicles, movable equipment, and railroad, marine and flight equipment,

·  
all goods, stock in trade, wares and merchandise held for sale in the ordinary course of business,

·  
fuel (including nuclear fuel assemblies), materials, supplies and other personal property consumable in the operation of our business,

·  
portable equipment,

·  
furniture and furnishings,

·  
computers, machinery and equipment used exclusively for corporate administrative or clerical purposes,

·  
electric energy, gas, steam, water and other products generated, produced or purchased,

·  
substances mined, extracted or otherwise separated from the land and all rights thereto, leasehold interests, and

·  
with certain exceptions, all property which is located outside of the State of South Carolina or Columbia County, Georgia.  (Granting Clauses)

The Mortgage contains provisions subjecting (with certain exceptions and limitations and subject to the prior lien of a Class A Mortgage, if any, and the provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code) after-acquired electric utility property to the lien of the Mortgage.  (Granting Clauses)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it may be necessary to comply with applicable recording requirements to perfect such lien on after-acquired electric utility property.

The Mortgage provides that the Bond Trustee has a lien upon the property subject to the lien of the Mortgage, for the payment of its compensation and expenses.  This Bond Trustee's lien is prior to the lien on behalf of the holders of the Bonds.  (Section 1607)

Issuance of Bonds

The maximum principal amount of Bonds which we may issue under the Mortgage is unlimited. (Section 201)  We may issue Bonds of any series from time to time on the basis of, and in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the sum of:

·  
the aggregate principal amount of Class A Bonds issued and delivered to the Bond Trustee and designated by us as the basis for such issuance,

·  
70% of the amount of Unfunded Net Property Additions (generally defined as Property Additions (net of retirements) which have not been made or deemed to have been made the basis of the authentication and delivery of Bonds or used for other purposes under the Mortgage),

·  
the aggregate principal amount of retired Bonds, and

·  
cash deposited with the Bond Trustee.  (Sections 101, 104 and 302 and Articles Four, Five and Six)

Property Additions are generally defined to include any Property subject to the lien of the Mortgage (the "Mortgaged Property") which we may elect to designate as such, except (with certain exceptions) goodwill, going concern value rights, intangible property or any property the cost of acquisition or construction of which is properly chargeable to an operating expense account.  (Sections 101 and 104)

Based upon Property Additions certified to the Bond Trustee as of June 30, 2006 (the last date of certification of Property Additions under the Mortgage), we have Unfunded Net Property Additions of approximately $2.3 billion, sufficient to permit the issuance of approximately $1.61 billion of additional Bonds on the basis thereof.  As of August 1, 2007, no retirement credits have been certified as available to support the issuance of Bonds under the Mortgage.

With certain exceptions in the case of Bonds issued on the basis of Class A Bonds and retired Bonds as described above, we can issue Bonds only if our Adjusted Net Earnings for 12 consecutive months within the preceding 18 months is at least twice the Annual Interest Requirements on:

·  
all Bonds at the time outstanding,

·  
the Bonds then applied for, and

·  
all outstanding Class A Bonds, if any, other than Class A Bonds held by the Bond Trustee under the Mortgage.  (Sections 103, 301, 302 and 501)

Release of Property

We may obtain the release of property from the lien of the Mortgage either upon the basis of an equal amount of Unfunded Net Property Additions or upon the basis of the deposit of cash or a credit for retired Bonds.  We may also obtain the release of property upon the basis of the release of the property from the lien of a Class A Mortgage, if any. (Article Ten)

Withdrawal of Cash

We may withdraw cash deposited as the basis for the issuance of Bonds and cash representing certain payments in respect of Class A Bonds, if any, designated as the basis for the issuance of Bonds or the withdrawal of cash ("Designated Class A Bonds") upon the basis of (1) Unfunded Net Property Additions in an amount equal to ten-sevenths of such cash, (2) an equal amount of retired Bonds or (3) an equal amount of Class A Bonds which are not Designated Class A Bonds.  (Sections 601 and 1202)  In addition, we may withdraw cash upon the basis of (a) an equal amount of Unfunded Net Property Additions, or (b) ten-sevenths of the amount of retired Bonds, or may apply such cash to (y) the purchase of Bonds (at prices not exceeding ten-sevenths of the principal amount thereof) or (z) the redemption or payment at stated maturity of Bonds.  (Sections 601 and 1005)

Modification of Mortgage

We may, without the consent of any holders of outstanding Bonds, enter into supplemental indentures for, including but not limited to, the following purposes:

·  
to add to our covenants for the benefit of the holders or to surrender a right or power conferred upon us in the Mortgage,

·  
to correct or amplify the description of any property at any time subject to the lien of the Mortgage, or to subject to the lien of the Mortgage additional property,

·  
to establish the form or terms of any series of Bonds,

·  
to make any other changes to or eliminate provision of the Mortgage required or contemplated by the Trust Indenture Act, or

·  
to make certain other modifications, generally of a ministerial or immaterial nature. (Section 1701)

We may amend the Mortgage for other purposes only with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, considered as one class, unless such amendment directly affects the rights of the holders of Bonds of one or more, but less than all, series, in which case only the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the affected series of the Bonds then outstanding, considered as one class, need be obtained.  However, without the consent of the holder of each affected outstanding Bond, we may not amend the Mortgage for the following purposes:

·  
to change the stated maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Bond or to reduce the principal amount, the interest rate of, any other amount payable in respect of or any premium payable on the redemption of any Bond;

·  
to reduce the principal amount of any Bond which is a Discount Security (as defined in the Mortgage) that would be due upon a declaration of acceleration of that Bond's maturity;

·  
to change the currency of any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any Bond;

·  
to impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any Bond after the stated maturity or redemption date of that Bond;

·  
to permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to the lien of the Mortgage with respect to all or substantially all of the Mortgage Property or terminate the lien of the Mortgage on all or substantially all of the Mortgaged Property, or otherwise deprive such holder of the benefit of the security of the lien of the Mortgage;

·  
reduce the percentage in principal amount of outstanding Bonds of any series for which the consent of the holders is required to modify or amend the Mortgage or to waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture, or reduce certain quorum or voting requirements of the Mortgage; or

·  
to modify the foregoing requirements or reduce the percentage of outstanding Bonds necessary to modify other provisions of the Mortgage or waive any past default thereunder. (Section 1702)

Events of Default

Each of the following events is an Event of Default under the Mortgage:

·  
We fail to make payments of principal or premium within three business days, or interest within 60 days, after the due date,

·  
We fail to perform or breach any other covenant or warranty for a period of 90 days after notice,

·  
We file for bankruptcy or certain other events involving insolvency, receivership or bankruptcy occur, or

·  
We default under any Class A Mortgage.  (Section 1101)

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, either the Bond Trustee or the Holders of 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds may declare the principal amount of all of the Outstanding Bonds to be immediately due and payable.  After the declaration of acceleration has been made, but before the sale of any of the Mortgaged Property and before the Bond Trustee has obtained a judgment or decree for payment of money, the Event of Default giving rise to such declaration of acceleration will be deemed to be waived, and such declaration and its consequences will be rescinded and annulled, if we (a) pay to the Bond Trustee all overdue interest, principal and any premium on any Outstanding Bonds and (b) cure any other such Event of Default.  (Sections 1102 and 1117)

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for the enforcement of the Mortgage available to the Bond Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Bond Trustee.  No Holder of any Bond has the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Mortgage, or for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy thereunder, unless:

·  
that Holder previously gave written notice of a continuing Event of Default to the Bond Trustee,

·  
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Outstanding Bonds have offered to the Bond Trustee reasonable indemnity against costs and liabilities and requested that the Bond Trustee take action,

·  
the Bond Trustee declined to take action for 60 days, and

·  
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Outstanding Bonds have given no inconsistent direction during such 60-day period;

provided, however, that each Holder of a Bond has the right to enforce payment of that Bond when due. (Sections 1111, 1112 and 1116)

In addition to the rights and remedies provided in the Mortgage, the Bond Trustee may exercise any right or remedy available to the Bond Trustee in its capacity as the owner and holder of Class A Bonds, if any, which arises as a result of a default under any Class A Mortgage.  (Section 1119)

Restrictions on Payment of Dividends

The Mortgage prohibits us from declaring and paying dividends on any shares of our common stock except from either (1) the excess (the "Surplus") of our net assets over our Capital (as defined herein) or (2) if there is no Surplus, our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year; provided, that no dividends may be declared if and while our Capital is significantly impaired as described in the Mortgage.  "Capital" is defined in the Mortgage to mean the part of the consideration we received for any shares of our capital stock as determined by our board of directors to be capital or, if our board has not made such a determination, the aggregate par amount of shares having a par value plus the amount of consideration for such shares without par value.  All of the outstanding shares of our common stock are held of record by SCANA. (Section 711)

Evidence of Compliance and Indemnification of Bond Trustee

The Trust Indenture Act requires that we give the Bond Trustee, at least annually, a brief statement as to our compliance with the conditions and covenants under the Mortgage.  (Article Eight)

The Bond Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Mortgage at the request or direction of any Holder pursuant to the Mortgage, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Bond Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.  (Section 1603)

Our Relationship with the Bond Trustee

The Bond Trustee and/or one or more of its affiliates, may be lenders under our, or our subsidiaries' or affiliates', credit agreements and may provide other commercial banking, investment banking and other services to us and/or our subsidiaries or affiliates.  The Bond Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions with us and/or our subsidiaries or affiliates; however, if the Bond Trustee acquires any conflicting interest, as defined in the Trust Indenture Act, it must eliminate the conflict or resign.

Description of the Preferred Stock

The preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Preferred Stock will be established by or as authorized by our Board of Directors and will be set forth in articles of amendment to our restated articles of incorporation.  These will be described in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Book-Entry System

If provided in the applicable pricing or prospective supplement, except under the circumstances described below, we will issue each of the Notes or New Bonds sold pursuant to this prospectus (the "Securities") as one or more global certificates (each a "Global Certificate"), each of which will represent beneficial interests in the Securities. We will deposit those Global Certificates with, or on behalf of The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC") or another depository which we subsequently designate (the "Depository") relating to the Securities, and register them in the name of a nominee of the Depository.

So long as the Depository, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Certificate, the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the owner of that Global Certificate. We will make payments of principal of, any premium, and interest on the Global Certificate to the Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of that Global Certificate.  Except as set forth below, owners of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate will not be entitled to have any individual Securities registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any Securities and will not be considered the owners of Securities.

Accordingly, to exercise any of the rights of the registered owners of the Securities, each person holding a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate must rely on the procedures of the Depository.   If that person is not a Direct Participant (as defined below), then that person must also rely on procedures of the Direct Participant through which that person holds its interest.

DTC

The following information concerning DTC and its book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but neither we nor any underwriter, dealer or agent take any responsibility for the accuracy of that information.

DTC will act as securities depository for the Global Certificates.  The Global Certificates will be issued initially as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC's partnership nominee), or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.  One fully-registered certificate will be issued for each issue of the Securities, each in the aggregate principal amount of such issues, and will be deposited with DTC.  If, however, the aggregate principal amount of any issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.

DTC, the world’s largest depository, is a limited purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act.  DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2.2 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments from over 100 countries that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between in Direct Participants' accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation ("DTCC").  DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of Direct Participants of DTC and members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation, Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation (NSCC, FICC, and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.  Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants" and, together with the Direct Participants, "DTC Participants").  DTC has Standard & Poor's highest rating: AAA. The DTC rules applicable to DTC's Participants are on file with the SEC.  More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com and www.dtc.org.

Purchases of the Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records.  The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security ("Beneficial Owner") is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records.  Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, Beneficial Owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction.  Transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners.  Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the Securities, unless the use of the book-entry only system for the Securities is discontinued.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.  The deposit of the Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership.  DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities.  DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners.  The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.  Beneficial Owners of Notes may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents.  For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners.  In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.

Redemption notices will be sent to DTC.  If less than all of an issue of Securities are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in the Securities to be redeemed.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s procedures.  Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to the trustee for the related issue of Securities (the "Agent"), as soon as possible after the record date.  The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).

Payments of principal, interest and redemption premium, if any, on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC.  DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us or the Agent, on the payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records.  Payments by DTC Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of DTC Participant and not of DTC (nor its nominee), the Agent or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.  Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest or distributions and dividend payments (as applicable) to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of us or the Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants is DTC’s responsibility, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners shall be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
 
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Securities by giving reasonable notice to us or the Agent.  We also may decide to discontinue use of the book-entry only system through DTC (or a successor depository).  In either situation, if a successor securities depository is not obtained, Securities in certificated form will be printed and delivered to each Beneficial Owner in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of DTC on file with or as approved by the SEC.
 

Plan of Distribution

We may sell securities to one or more underwriters or dealers for public offering and sale by them, or we may sell the securities to investors directly or through agents. The pricing supplement (in the case of Notes) or prospectus supplement (in the case of Common Stock, New Bonds or Preferred Stock) relating to the securities being offered will set forth the terms of the offering and, in the case of a prospectus supplement relating to an offering of Common Stock, New Bonds or Preferred Stock, the method of distribution, and will identify any firms acting as underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, including:

·  
the name or names of any agents or underwriters;

·  
the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds to us from the sale;

·  
any underwriting discounts, sales commissions and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation;

·  
any public offering price;

·  
any commissions payable to agents;

·  
any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

·  
any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

Only those underwriters identified in the applicable pricing or prospectus supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with the securities offered in the applicable pricing or prospectus supplement.

We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at prices determined as the applicable pricing or prospectus supplement specifies. We may sell securities through forward contracts or similar arrangements. In connection with the sale of securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may be deemed to have received compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and also may receive commissions from securities purchasers for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.

We may sell the securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities covered by this prospectus, other than at the market offerings of Common Stock, will be named in a pricing or prospectus supplement relating to such securities. At the market offerings of Common Stock may be made by agents.  Commissions payable by us to agents will be set forth in a pricing or prospectus supplement relating to the securities being offered. Unless otherwise indicated in a pricing or prospectus supplement, any such agents will be acting on a best-efforts basis for the period of their appointment.

Some of the underwriters, dealers or agents and some of their affiliates who participate in the securities distribution may engage in other transactions with, and perform other services for, us and our subsidiaries or
affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

Any underwriting or other compensation which we pay to underwriters or agents in connection with the securities offering, and any discounts, concessions or commissions which underwriters allow to dealers, will be set forth in the applicable pricing or prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the securities distribution may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions they receive and any profit they realize on the resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act of 1933. Underwriters, and their controlling persons, and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The South Carolina Business Corporation Act of 1988 permits indemnification of the registrants’ directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may include indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act.  Under Sections 33-8-510, 33-8-550 and 33-8-560 of the South Carolina Business Corporation Act of 1988, a South Carolina corporation is authorized generally to indemnify its directors and officers in civil or criminal actions if they acted in good faith and reasonably believed their conduct to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. In addition, each of the registrants carries insurance on behalf of directors, officers, employees or agents that may cover liabilities under the Securities Act.  SCANA’s Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that no director of SCANA shall be liable to SCANA or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director occurring after April 26, 1989, except for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to SCANA or its shareholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve gross negligence, intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) certain unlawful distributions or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Item 16. Exhibits

Exhibits required to be filed with this registration statement are listed in the following Exhibit Index.  Certain of such exhibits which have heretofore been filed with the SEC and which are designated by reference to their exhibit numbers in prior filings are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a)           Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes:

(1)           To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)           to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)           to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)           to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the applicable registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)           That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)           Each prospectus filed by such registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii)           Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x), for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date it is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
 
(5)           That, for the purpose of determining liability of such registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
 
Each of the undersigned registrants undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the applicable undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the applicable undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer to sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i)         Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the applicable undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
(ii)         Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the applicable undersigned registrant or used or referred to by such undersigned registrant;
 
(iii)        The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the applicable undersigned registrant or their securities provided by or on behalf of such undersigned registrant; and
 
(iv)         Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the applicable undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 

(b)           The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants’ annual reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SCANA CORPORATION
MEDIUM-TERM NOTES


1. This is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (herein called the "Securities") of a series hereinafter specified as issued and to be issued under an indenture dated as of November 1, 1989 (herein called the "Indenture") between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. (successor to The Bank of New York), as trustee (herein called the "Trustee," which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and Resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company adopted or indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any), may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default, and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided. This Note is one of a series of Securities of the Company designated as its Medium-Term Notes (herein called the "Notes"). The Notes of this series may be issued at various times with different maturity dates and different principal repayment provisions, may bear interest at different rates, may be payable in different currencies and may otherwise vary, all as provided in the Indenture.

2. A. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date (as defined below) shall be the date 15 calendar days immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, whether or not such date shall be a Business Day. Interest which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for on each Interest Payment Date specified above will be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest payable at Maturity shall be paid to the Person to whom the principal hereof is payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is issued between a Regular Record Date and an Interest Payment Date or on an Interest Payment Date, the interest so payable for the period from the Original Issue Date to such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to the Registered Holder hereof on the related Regular Record Date. Any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest required to be made on this Note on a day that is not a Business Day need not be made on such day, but will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such day, and no additional interest shall accrue as a result of such delayed payment; provided, however, that with respect to any LIBOR Note, if the next Business Day is in the next calendar month, interest will be paid on the preceding Business Day; and provided, further, that with respect to any regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date for any LIBOR Note (other than the Maturity Date and in lieu of Section 114 of the Indenture), interest shall accrue through the date immediately preceding the date of payment. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Registered Holder hereof on such Regular Record Date and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than ten calendar days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully described in said Indenture. For purposes of this Note, "Business Day" means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is not a day on which banking institutions in Washington, D.C., or in New York, New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed and with respect to LIBOR Notes, means any day on which dealings in deposits in United States dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. In connection with any calculations of the rate of interest on this Note, all percentages will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards.

B. If this is a Fixed Rate Note, the Company promises to pay interest on the Principal Amount shown on the face hereof at the Interest Rate per annum shown on the face hereof until such Principal Amount is paid or made available for payment. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, the Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each April 1 and October 1 (each an "Interest Payment Date"), and at Maturity. Interest will accrue from and including the most recent Interest Payment Date or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from and including the Original Issue Date shown on the face hereof, to, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. The amount of such interest payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

C. If this is a Floating Rate Note, the Company promises to pay interest on the Principal Amount shown on the face hereof at the rate per annum equal to the Initial Interest Rate shown on the face hereof until the first Interest Reset Date shown on the face hereof following the Original Issue Date specified on the face hereof and thereafter at a rate determined in accordance with the provisions below under the heading "Determination of Commercial Paper Rate," "Determination of LIBOR" or "Determination of Treasury Rate" (depending upon whether the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is Commercial Paper Rate, LIBOR or Treasury Rate, respectively), until the Principal Amount hereof is paid or duly made available for payment. The Company will pay interest monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually as specified on the face hereof under the "Interest Payment Period," commencing with the first Interest Payment Date specified on the face hereof next succeeding the Original Issue Date, and at Maturity. Unless otherwise provided on the face hereof, the dates on which interest will be payable (each an "Interest Payment Date") will be, in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a monthly Interest Payment Period, the third Wednesday of each month; in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a quarterly Interest Payment Period, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December; in the case of Floating Rate Notes with a semi-annual Interest Payment Period, the third Wednesday of the two months specified on the face hereof; and in the case of Floating Rate Notes with an annual Interest Payment Period, the third Wednesday of the month specified on the face hereof.

The interest payable on a Floating Rate Note on each Interest Payment Date and at Maturity will include accrued interest from and including the Original Issue Date or from but excluding the last date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to but excluding such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date; provided, however, that if the Interest Reset Period is daily or weekly, the interest payable on each Interest Payment Date, other than at Maturity, will include accrued interest from and including the Original Issue Date or from but excluding the last date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to and including the day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, and the interest payable at Maturity will include accrued interest from and including the Original Issue Date or from but excluding the last date in respect of which interest has been paid, as the case may be, to but excluding the Maturity Date; provided further, that with respect to any regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date for any LIBOR Note (other than the Maturity Date and in lieu of Section 114 of the Indenture), interest shall accrue through the date immediately preceding the date of payment. Such accrued interest will be calculated by multiplying the Principal Amount hereof by an accrued interest factor. The accrued interest factor shall be computed by adding the interest factor calculated for each day in the period for which accrued interest is being calculated. The interest factor for each such day is computed by dividing the interest rate applicable to such day by 360, if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate or LIBOR, or by the actual number of days in the year, if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate. The interest rate in effect on each day will be (a) if such day is an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate with respect to the Interest Determination Date with respect to such Interest Reset Date or (b) if such day is not an Interest Reset Date, the interest rate with respect to the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the next preceding Interest Reset Date; provided, however, that the interest rate in effect from the Original Issue Date to the first Interest Reset Date will be the Initial Interest Rate shown on the face hereof.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this is a Floating Rate Note, the interest rate hereon shall not be greater than the Maximum Interest Rate, if any, or less than the Minimum Interest Rate, if any, shown on the face hereof. In addition, the interest rate hereon in no event shall be higher than the maximum rate, if any, permitted by applicable law, including United States law of general application. The Maximum Interest Rate and Minimum Interest Rate, if any, specified on the face hereof are, in each case, expressed as a rate per annum on a simple interest basis.

If this is a Floating Rate Note, the interest rate on this Note will be reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually (such period being the "Interest Reset Period" specified on the face hereof). Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the "Interest Reset Dates" will be, if the Interest Reset Period is daily, each Business Day; if the Interest Reset Period is weekly, Wednesday of each week, except that if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, Tuesday of each week; if the Interest Reset Period is monthly, the third Wednesday of each month; if the Interest Reset Period is quarterly, the third Wednesday of March, June, September and December of each year; if the Interest Reset Period is semi-annually, the third Wednesday of the two months specified on the face hereof; and if the Interest Reset Period is annually, the third Wednesday of the month of each year specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if any Interest Reset Date otherwise would be a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Reset Date shall be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, except that (i) if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR and such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar month, such Interest Reset Date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day, or (ii) if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is Treasury Rate and the Interest Reset Date falls on a date which is an auction date (as described in the next succeeding paragraph), the Interest Reset Date shall be the following day that is a Business Day.

The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be, if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is Commercial Paper Rate or LIBOR, the second Business Day next preceding such Interest Reset Date. The Interest Determination Date pertaining to an Interest Reset Date will be, if the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Treasury Rate, the day of the week in which such Interest Reset Date falls on which Treasury Bills (as defined below) of the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are auctioned. Treasury Bills are normally sold at auction on Monday of each week, unless that day is a legal holiday in which case the auction is normally held on the following Tuesday, except that such auction may be held on the preceding Friday. If, as a result of a legal holiday, an auction is so held on the preceding Friday, such Friday will be the Interest Determination Date pertaining to the Interest Reset Date occurring in the next succeeding week.

Subject to applicable provisions of law and except as specified herein, on each Interest Reset Date the rate of interest hereon, if this is a Floating Rate Note, shall be the rate determined in accordance with the provisions of the applicable heading below.

The Company will calculate, or will appoint and enter into an agreement with an agent to calculate (the Company or such agent being the "Calculation Agent"), the interest rates on Floating Rate Notes (including this Note if it is a Floating Rate Note). Initially, The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. shall be the Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent shall calculate the interest rate hereon in accordance with the foregoing and will confirm in writing such calculation to the Trustee and any Paying Agent promptly after each such determination. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be responsible for any such calculation. At the request of the Holder hereof (if this Note is a Floating Rate Note), the Calculation Agent will provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective on the next Interest Reset Date for this Note. All determinations of interest rates by the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Holder hereof. Unless otherwise specified on the face hereof, the Calculation Date pertaining to an Interest Determination Date shall be the tenth calendar day after such Interest Determination Date, or if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day.

Determination of Commercial Paper Rate.

If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is the Commercial Paper Rate, the interest rate for any Interest Determination Date shall equal (a) the Money Market Yield (as defined below) on such Interest Determination Date of the rate for commercial paper having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof (1) as published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in the weekly statistical release designated as "Statistical Release H.15(519), Selected Interest Rates", or in any successor publication (“H.15(519)”), under the heading "Commercial Paper - Nonfinancial," or (2) if such rate is not published in H.15(519) by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, then as published in the daily update of H.15(519) (available through the Internet website of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System at http://www.bog.frb.fed.us/releases/h15/update, or any successor site or publication) (“H.15 Daily Update”) under the heading "Commercial Paper - Non-Financial," or any successor heading or (b) if such rate is not published in either H.15(519) or H.15 Daily Update by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the Money Market Yield of the average as calculated by the Calculation Agent (defined below) of the offered rates as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading dealers of commercial paper in New York, New York, selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) for commercial paper placed for nonfinancial issuers whose bond rating is "AA" or the equivalent, from a nationally recognized rating agency, having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, in each of the above cases adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting offered rates as mentioned in this sentence, the interest rate for such Interest Determination Date shall equal the interest rate then in effect on such Interest Determination Date.

"Money Market Yield" means a yield (expressed as a percentage) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

 
Money Market Yield =     D x 360     x 100
                       360 - (D x M)

where "D" refers to the applicable per annum rate for commercial paper quoted on a bank discount basis and expressed as a decimal, and "M" refers to the actual number of days in the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof.

Determination of LIBOR.

If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is LIBOR, the interest rate for any Interest Determination Date shall equal the rate for deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, beginning on the second Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date, that appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01 (as defined herein) as of 11:00 a.m., London Time, on such Interest Determination Date, adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.
 
      With respect to an Interest Determination Date on which no rate appears on Reuters Page LIBOR01, LIBOR will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in the Designated LIBOR Currency having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, are offered at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Interest Determination Date by four major banks (“Reference Banks”) in the London interbank market to prime banks in the London interbank market selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) commencing on the second Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such Designated LIBOR Currency in such market at such time. The Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be the average of such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR in respect of such Interest Determination Date will be the average of the rates quoted as of 11:00 a.m., in the applicable Principal Financial Center (as defined below) on such Interest Determination Date by three major banks in such Principal Financial Center selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) for loans in the Designated LIBOR Currency to leading European banks having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof commencing on the second Business Day immediately following such Interest Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative for a single transaction in such Designated LIBOR Currency in such market at such time; provided, however, that if the banks selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth in this sentence, LIBOR with respect to such Interest Determination Date will be the interest rate then in effect on the Interest Determination Date.

“Designated LIBOR Currency” means the currency (including composite currency units), if any, designated on the face hereof as the currency for which LIBOR will be calculated. If no such currency is designated on the face hereof, the Designated LIBOR Currency shall be U.S. dollars.

“Reuters Page LIBOR01” means page LIBOR01 (or any other page as may replace such page on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service ("Reuters") for the purpose of displaying the London interbank offered rates of major banks for the Designated LIBOR Currency).

“Principal Financial Center” means the capital city of the country that issues as its legal tender the Designated LIBOR Currency designated on the face hereof, except that with respect to U.S. dollars, the Principal Financial Center shall be The City of New York Trust Company, N.A..

Determination of Treasury Rate.

If the Base Rate specified on the face hereof is Treasury Rate, the interest rate for any Interest Determination Date shall equal the rate applicable to the most recent auction of direct obligations of the United States ("Treasury Bills") having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof, on the display of Reuters on page USAUCTION 10 or USAUCTION 11 (or any other page as may replace page USAUCTION 10 or USAUCTION 11) under the heading "INVEST RATE" or, if not so published by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such Interest Determination Date, the auction average rate (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) for such auction as otherwise announced by the United States Department of the Treasury. In the event that the results of the auction of Treasury Bills having the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof are not published or announced as provided above by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Calculation Date, or if no such auction is held in a particular week, then the Treasury Rate shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent and shall be a yield to maturity (expressed as a bond equivalent, on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and applied on a daily basis) of the average of the secondary market bid rates, as of approximately 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Interest Determination Date, of three leading primary United States government securities dealers selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the Company) for the issue of Treasury Bills with a remaining maturity closest to the Index Maturity specified on the face hereof; provided, however, that if the dealers selected as aforesaid by the Calculation Agent are not quoting bid rates as mentioned in this sentence, the interest rate for such Interest Determination Date shall equal the interest rate then in effect on such Interest Determination Date. In determining the Treasury Rate, the rate determined in any of the above cases shall be adjusted by the addition or subtraction of the Spread, if any, specified on the face hereof, or by multiplication by the Spread Multiplier, if any, specified on the face hereof.

3. The authorized denominations of Notes will be $1,000 and any larger amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000.

4. Each Note will be issued initially as either a Book-Entry Note or a Certificated Note. Only Registered Notes may be issued as Book-Entry Notes, and such Notes will not be exchangeable for Certificated Notes and, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, will not otherwise be issuable as Certificated Notes.

5. Payments of interest (other than interest payable at Maturity) will be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Security Register on the applicable Record Date. The principal hereof and any premium and interest hereon payable at Maturity will be paid in immediately available funds upon surrender of this Note at the office or agency of the Company (currently the Trustee) located in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York Trust Company, N.A..
 
6. If so specified on the face hereof, this Note may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after the Initial Redemption Date shown on the face hereof and prior to the Maturity Date, upon not less than 30 calendar days prior notice given as provided in the Indenture, at the Redemption Price shown on the face hereof, together in each case with accrued interest, if any, to the relevant redemption date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such relevant redemption date will be payable to the holder of this Note, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates, all as provided in the Indenture. As provided in the Indenture, if less than all of the Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Company shall select the tenor and terms of the Notes to be redeemed. If less than all of the Outstanding Notes of like tenor and terms are to be redeemed, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee not more than 60 calendar days prior to the relevant redemption date from the Outstanding Notes of like tenor and terms not previously called for redemption. Such selection shall be of principal amounts equal to the minimum authorized denominations for such Notes or any integral multiple thereof. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, such selection shall be made by any method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. The notice of such redemption shall specify which Notes are to be redeemed. In the event of redemption of this Notes in part only, a new Note or Notes for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
 
7. The Company may, at any time, purchase Notes at any price in the open market or otherwise. Notes so purchased by the Company may, at its discretion, be held, resold or surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.

8. This Note will not be subject to any sinking fund.

9. As provided in the Indenture, and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of different authorized denominations as requested by the Holder.

10. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registerable on the Security Register of the Company upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Security Registrar and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

11. Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

12. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes of this series shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all the Notes of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

13. In case this Note shall at any time become mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost and this Note or evidence of the loss, theft or destruction hereof (together with such indemnity and such other documents or proof as may be required by the Company or the Trustee) shall be delivered to the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, a new Registered Note of like tenor and principal amount will be issued by the Company in exchange for, or in lieu of, this Note. All expenses and reasonable charges associated with procuring such indemnity and with the preparation, authentication and delivery of a new Note shall be borne by the Holder of this Note.

14. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holder of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series to waive compliance on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon the Note.

Holders of Securities may not enforce their rights pursuant to the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Note at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.

15. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture or an indenture supplemental thereto, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future of the Company or of any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue hereof, expressly waived and released.

Exhibit 5.01



                                                                August 7, 2007

 
 

 
SCANA Corporation
1426 Main Street
Columbia, South Carolina 29201

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         I am Senior Vice President and General Counsel of SCANA Corporation (the "Company").  I have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the Company's proposed issuance and sale from time to time of up to $500,000,000 in aggregate amount of its Medium-Term Notes (the "Notes") and its common stock (the "Common Stock"), as contemplated by the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") proposed to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about the date hereof for the registration of the Notes and the Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), to which Registration Statement this opinion is included as an Exhibit.

         In connection with the delivery of this opinion, I have examined originals or copies of (a) the Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company; (b) the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus forming a part thereof) and the exhibits thereto; (c) certain resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company; (d) the Indenture dated as of November 1, 1989 (the "Indenture"), made by the Company to The Bank of New York, as Trustee, incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, pursuant to which the Notes are issued; and (e) such other records, agreements, instruments, certificates and other documents of public officials, the Company and its officers and representatives, as I have considered necessary.

         Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

 
         1.         With respect to the Notes of each series, when (a) the Registration Statement, and any subsequent amendments thereto, have become effective under the Act; (b) the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended; (c) the Board of Directors of the Company, or a duly authorized committee, has taken such action as may be necessary to authorize the issuance and sale by the Company of the Notes of such series on the terms set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement, as it may be amended, and any pricing supplement relating to the Notes of such series, and to authorize the proper officers of the Company to take such other action as may be necessary in connection with the consummation of the issuance and sale of the Notes from time to time; (d) the specific terms of each Note of such series have been determined within the authorizations referred to above, and a pricing supplement relating to the Notes of such series has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (e) the Notes of such series have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the corporate authorizations aforesaid, the Notes of each series will be duly authorized and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, subject as to enforceability to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and general equitable principles, and will be entitled to the benefits and security of the Indenture.

 
 
 
         2.         With respect to the Common Stock, when (a) the Registration Statement, and any subsequent amendments thereto, have become effective under the Act; (b) the Board of Directors, or the particular officers authorized thereby, have taken such action as may be necessary to authorize the issuance and sale of the Common Stock on the terms set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement, as it may be amended, and any prospectus supplement relating to the Common Stock, and to authorize the proper officers of the Company to take such other action as may be necessary in connection with the consummation of the issuance and sale of the Common Stock from time to time; (c) the specific terms of each offering of the Common Stock have been determined within the authorizations referred to above, and a prospectus supplement relating to such offering has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (d) the Common Stock has been duly executed, registered and delivered to the purchaser or the purchasers thereof against receipt of the purchase price therefor, the Common Stock will have been duly authorized and legally and validly issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable.

         I am licensed to practice law only in the State of South Carolina and in rendering this opinion I am opining only to the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of South Carolina.  I express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of South Carolina and the federal laws of the United States.  I express no opinion as to whether, to the extent to which, the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply to the subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, the enforceability of the governing law provision contained in the Indenture.  Because the governing law provision of the Indenture may relate to the law of a jurisdiction as to which I express no opinion, the opinion set forth in paragraph 1 herein is given as if the law of the State of South Carolina governs such document.

         I hereby consent to filing of this opinion with the Registration Statement and to the use of my name under the caption "Validity of the Securities" in the aforesaid Prospectus and Registration Statement.

South Carolina Electric & Gas Company
1426 Main Street
Columbia, South Carolina 29201

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         I am Senior Vice President and General Counsel of South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (the "Company").  I have acted as counsel to the Company in connection with the Company's proposed issuance and sale from time to time of up to $750,000,000 in aggregate amount of its First Mortgage Bonds (the "Bonds") and up to 4.8 million shares of its preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"), as contemplated by the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") proposed to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about the date hereof for the registration of the Bonds and the Preferred Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), to which Registration Statement this opinion is included as an Exhibit.

         In connection with the delivery of this opinion, I have examined originals or copies of (a) the Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company; (b) the Registration Statement (including the Prospectus forming a part thereof) and the exhibits thereto; (c) certain resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company; (d) the Indenture dated as of April 1, 1993 (the "Indenture"), made by the Company to The Bank of New York (as successor to NationsBank of Georgia, National Association), as Trustee, incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, pursuant to which the Bonds are issued; and (e) such other records, agreements, instruments, certificates and other documents of public officials, the Company and its officers and representatives, as I have considered necessary.

         Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

 
         1.         With respect to the Bonds of each series, when (a) the Registration Statement, and any subsequent amendments thereto, have become effective under the Act; (b) the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended; (c) an appropriate order relating to such Bonds has been obtained from The Public Service Commission of South Carolina; (d) the Board of Directors of the Company has taken such action as may be necessary to authorize the issuance and sale by the Company of the Bonds of such series on the terms set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement, as it may be amended, and any prospectus supplement relating to the Bonds of such series, and to authorize the proper officers of the Company to take such other action as may be necessary in connection with the consummation of the issuance and sale of the Bonds from time to time; (e) the specific terms of each Bond of such series have been determined within the authorizations referred to above, and a prospectus supplement relating to the Bonds of such series has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (f) the Bonds of such series have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the corporate and governmental authorizations aforesaid, the Bonds of each series will be duly authorized and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, subject as to enforceability to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and general equitable principles, and will be entitled to the benefits and security of the Indenture.

 
 
 
         2.         With respect to the Preferred Stock, when (a) the Registration Statement, and any subsequent amendments thereto, have become effective under the Act; (b) the Board of Directors, or the particular officers authorized thereby, have taken such action as may be necessary to authorize the issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock on the terms set forth in or contemplated by the Registration Statement, as it may be amended, and any prospectus supplement relating to the Preferred Stock, and to authorize the proper officers of the Company to take such other action as may be necessary in connection with the consummation of the issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock from time to time; (c) the articles of amendment authorizing the issuance of the Preferred Stock and setting forth the relative rights, preferences and limitations with respect thereto have been filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of South Carolina; (d) the specific terms of each offering of the Preferred Stock have been determined within the authorizations referred to above, and a prospectus supplement relating to such offering has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (e) the Preferred Stock has been duly executed, registered and delivered to the purchaser or the purchasers thereof against receipt of the purchase price therefor, the Preferred Stock will have been duly authorized and legally and validly issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable.

         I am licensed to practice law only in the State of South Carolina and in rendering this opinion I am opining only to the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of South Carolina.  I express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of South Carolina and the federal laws of the United States.  I express no opinion as to whether, to the extent to which, the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply to the subject matter hereof, including, without limitation, the enforceability of the governing law provision contained in the Indenture.  Because the governing law provision of the Indenture may relate to the law of a jurisdiction as to which I express no opinion, the opinion set forth in paragraph 1 herein is given as if the law of the State of South Carolina governs such document.
