to Prospectus dated August 10, 1998
SEMCO Energy, Inc.
The second paragraph under the caption "The Company - SEMCO Energy Ventures,
Inc." on page 3 of the Prospectus shall be amended to read in its entirety as
follows:
In August 1997, Ventures, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired
the assets and business of Sub-Surface Construction ("Sub-Surface") for
approximately $15.6 million plus the assumption of certain liabilities.
Because of this acquisition and the acquisition of Maverick Pipeline Services,
Inc. (in December of 1997 for approximately $50,000 in cash and $450,000 in
the Company's Common Stock, resulting in the issuance of 25,512 shares of
Common Stock) and King Energy and Construction Inc. (in May of 1998 for
approximately 18,062 shares of the Company's Common Stock), Ventures now
constructs and maintains underground natural gas pipelines and associated
facilities and provides pipeline consulting/engineering design and project
management services. On March 31, 1998, Ventures, through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, acquired the assets and business of Hotflame Gas, Inc.
("Hotflame") for 352,944 shares of SEMCO Energy Common Stock. Hotflame
supplies propane gas to over 10,000 customers in Northern Michigan and
Northeast Wisconsin.
