                        SCANA CORPORATION
          NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        June 30, 1994 
                         (Unaudited)

    The following notes should be read in conjunction with the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1993.  These are interim financial statements and, because of
temperature variations between seasons of the year, the amounts
reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income are not
necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the year.  In the
opinion of management, the information furnished herein reflects
all adjustments, all of a normal recurring nature, which are
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods reported.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

                A.   Principles of Consolidation:

                The accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries
       are consolidated in the accompanying Consolidated Financial
       Statements.  Certain investments are reported using the equity
       method of accounting.  Significant intercompany balances and
       transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

                B.   Sale of Assets:

       In January 1994 the Company signed an agreement to sell in 1994
       substantially all of the real estate assets of SCANA
       Development Corporation (SDC) to Liberty Properties  Group,
       Inc. of  Greenville, South Carolina  for  $91.5 million.  On
       March 4, 1994 the Company and Liberty amended the agreement
       regarding the sale.  Under the terms of the amended agreement
       certain projects currently under construction were excluded
       from the transaction and the sales price was reduced to $49.6
       million.  The primary components of the transaction  were
       closed on May 27, 1994.  Certain other assets of SDC are being
       sold to other parties.

                C.   Classification of Short-term Obligations:

       On July 21, 1994 SCE&G issued $100 million of First Mortgage
       Bonds, 7.70% series due July 15, 2004 to repay short-term
       borrowings in a like amount.  Accordingly, short-term
       borrowings in the amount of $99 million are included in "Long-
term debt, net."

       D.   Reclassifications:

                Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to
       conform with the 1994 presentation.

         2.RATE MATTERS:

                With respect to rate matters at June 30, 1994, reference is
       made to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
       in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
       December 31, 1993.  No changes have occurred with respect to
       those matters as reported therein except as shown below.  
     
                On May 18, 1994 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
       ordered SCE&G to refund certain amounts to its wholesale
       customers.  The refund was ordered because the retail rate on
       which wholesale rates were based had been reduced and refunds
       had been made to retail customers in response to an order of
       the South Carolina Public Service Commission (PSC) issued on
       January 19, 1993.  SCE&G refunded $1.1 million, including
       interest, to its wholesale customers on July 28, 1994.

                In June 1994 SCE&G placed into effect the second phase of the
       retail electric rate increase approved by the PSC on June 7,
       1993.  The new rates will produce an increase in electric
       operating revenue of $18.5 million annually, based on a test
       year.

<PAGE>


       On June 6, 1994 the PSC issued an order denying SCE&G's request
       that the $.40 fare for low income riders of SCE&G's transit
       system be eliminated.  SCE&G has appealed the PSC's order to
       the South Carolina Circuit Court.

         3.RETAINED EARNINGS:

                The Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company do not
       limit the dividends that may be payable on its common stock. 
       However, the Restated Articles of Incorporation of SCE&G and
       the Indenture underlying certain of its bond issues contain
       provisions that may limit the payment of cash dividends on
       common stock.  In addition, with respect to hydroelectric
       projects, the Federal Power Act may require the  appropriation
       of a  portion of the earnings therefrom.  At June 30, 1994
       approximately $10.7 million of retained earnings were
       restricted as to payment of cash dividends on common stock.

         4.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

                With respect to commitments at June 30, 1994, reference is made
       to Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated  Financial Statements
       appearing in the Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the
       year ended December 31, 1993.  No significant changes have
       occurred with respect to those matters as reported therein.

                A.  Nuclear Insurance

                The Price-Anderson Indemnification Act, which deals with public
       liability for a nuclear incident, currently establishes the
       liability limit for third-party claims associated with any
       nuclear incident at $9.4 billion. Each reactor licensee is
       currently liable for up to $79.3 million per reactor owned for
       each nuclear incident occurring at any reactor in the United
       States, provided that not more than $10 million of the
       liability per reactor would be assessed per year.  SCE&G's
       maximum assessment, based on its two-thirds  ownership of 
       Summer Station, would  be  approximately $52.9 million  per
       incident but not more than $6.7 million per year.  SCE&G
       currently maintains policies (for itself and on behalf of the
       PSA) with Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL) and
       American Nuclear Insurers (ANI) providing combined property and 
       decontamination  insurance coverage  of  $1.4 billion  for any 
       losses in  excess of $500 million pursuant to existing primary
       coverages (with ANI) on Summer Station.  SCE&G pays annual
       premiums and, in addition, could be assessed a retroactive
       premium not to exceed 7 1/2 times its annual premium in the
       event of property damage loss to any nuclear generating
       facilities covered by NEIL.  Based on the current annual
       premium, this retroactive premium would not exceed
       approximately $8.1 million.  

                To the extent that insurable claims for property damage,
       decontamination, repair and replacement and other costs and
       expenses arising from a nuclear incident at Summer Station
       exceed the policy limits of insurance, or to the extent such
       insurance becomes unavailable in the future, and to the extent
       that SCE&G's rates would not recover the cost of any purchased
       replacement power, SCE&G will retain the risk of loss as a
       self-insurer.  SCE&G has no reason to anticipate a serious
       nuclear incident at Summer Station.  If such an incident were
       to occur, it could have a materially adverse impact on the
       Company's financial position.

                B.  Environmental

                The Company has an environmental assessment program to identify
       and assess current and former operations sites that could
       require environmental cleanup.  As site assessments are
       initiated, an estimate is  made of the amount of expenditures,
       if any, necessary to investigate and clean up each site.  These
       estimates are refined as additional information becomes
       available; therefore actual expenditures could significantly
       differ from the original estimates.  Amounts estimated and
       accrued to date for site assessment and cleanup relate
       primarily to regulated operations; such amounts have been
       deferred (approximately $23.4 million) and are being amortized
       and recovered through rates over a ten year period.

           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Material Changes in Capital Resources and Liquidity
           From December 31, 1993 to June 30, 1994

Liquidity and Capital Resources
     The cash requirements of the Company arise primarily from
SCE&G's operational needs, the Company's construction program and
the need to fund the activities or investments of the Company's
nonregulated subsidiaries.  The ability of the Company's regulated
subsidiaries to replace existing plant investment, as well as to
expand to meet future demands for electricity and gas, will depend
upon their ability to attract the necessary financial capital on
reasonable terms.  The Company's regulated subsidiaries recover the
costs of providing services through rates charged to customers. 
Rates for regulated services are generally based on historical
costs.  As customer growth and inflation occur and the regulated
subsidiaries expand their construction programs, it is necessary to
seek increases in rates.  As a result, the Company's future
financial position and results of operations will be affected by
the regulated subsidiaries' ability to obtain adequate and timely
rate relief.

     The following table summarizes how the Company generated funds
for its property acquisitions and utility property additions and
construction expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 1994
and 1993:

Funds used for nonutility property

     In June 1994 SCE&G placed into effect the second phase of
the retail electric rate increase approved by the South Carolina
Public Service Commission on June 7, 1993.

     On July 21, 1994 SCE&G issued $100 million of First Mortgage
Bonds, 7.70% series due July 15, 2004 to repay  short-term 
borrowings  in  a like  amount.  Accordingly, short-term 
borrowings  in  the  amount  of $99 million are included in
"Long-term debt, net."

     MPX Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SCANA,
through a joint venture with ITC Transmission Systems, a Georgia-
based telecommunications holding company, will be constructing a
fiber optic network through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and
Georgia.  The network, which will consist of more than 900 miles
of fiber optic lines, is expected to be completed by June 1995 at
a cost of $58 million.

<PAGE>

     The Company anticipates that the remainder of its 1994 cash
requirements will be met through internally generated funds, the
sales of additional equity securities and medium-term notes and the
incurrence of additional short-term and long-term indebtedness. 
The timing and amount of such financing will depend upon market
conditions and other factors.

     The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the twelve months

                              SCANA CORPORATION
                            Results of Operations
                    For the Six months Ended June 30, 1994
               As Compared to the Corresponding Period in 1993

Earnings and Dividends

     Net  income  for  the  three  and  six months ended June 30,
1994 increased approximately $2.3 million and $7.3 million,
respectively, when compared to the corresponding periods in 1993
primarily due to higher electric margins.

     Allowance for funds used during construction (AFC) is a
utility accounting practice whereby a portion of the cost of both
equity and borrowed funds used to finance construction (which is
shown on the balance sheet as construction work in progress) is
capitalized.  Both the equity and the debt portions of AFC are
noncash items of nonoperating income which have the effect of
increasing reported net income.  AFC represented  approximately 8%
and 11% of income before income taxes for the three months ended
June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and approximately 6% and 9%
for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

     On April 28, 1994 the Company's Board of Directors declared a
quarterly dividend on common stock of 70 1/2 cents per share for
the quarter ended June 30, 1994.  The dividend was paid on July 1,
1994 to common stockholders of record on June 10, 1994.

Sales Margins

     The changes in the electric sales margin for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1994 when compared to the corresponding
periods in 1993 were as follows:

                                                                              
                                     Three Months           Six Months

                                 (Millions)            (Millions)

Electric operating revenues       $11.3        5.3      $38.6         9.2
Less:  Fuel used in electric
         generation                (3.0)      (5.2)       2.6         2.4  
       Purchased power              2.4       89.1        4.4        80.5
 
Margin                            $11.9        7.7      $31.6        10.3     

                                                     

     The electric sales margins increased for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1994 compared to the corresponding periods in
1993 primarily due to an increase in retail electric rates which
was effective beginning in June 1993 and increases in customer
sales due to customer growth, reflecting a general improvement in
the economy.  The second phase of the retail electric rate
increase, which was placed into effect June 1994, also contributed
to the increase in electric sales margins.

     The changes in the gas sales margin for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1994 when compared to the corresponding
periods in 1993 were as follows:

                                        Three Months           Six Months    
                                     Change    % Change    Change    % Change
                                     (Millions)            (Millions)
                                                                              

Gas operating revenues              $4.4          6.8      $2.4          1.3
Less:  Gas purchased for resale      2.2          5.0       2.4          2.1
              
Margin                              $2.2         10.4      $ -            -   


     The increase in the gas sales margin for the three months'
comparison reflects increased recoveries under the weather
normalization adjustment due to milder weather during the second
quarter of 1994, in addition to an increase in South Carolina
Pipeline Corporation's interruptible industrial sales due to a
shift of transportation customers to this class and a lower cost of
gas related to these sales.  The gas margin remained constant for
the six months' comparison.

Other Operating Expenses

     Increases in  other operating  expenses, including taxes, for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1994 compared to the
corresponding periods in 1993 are presented in the following table:

                                                                              
                                       Three Months            Six Months   
                                     Change   % Change     Change   % Change 
                                     (Millions)            (Millions)

Other operation and maintenance     $ 4.4        6.2       $ 7.9        5.8
Depreciation and amortization         1.6        5.9         3.2        5.6
Income taxes                          3.5       28.1        10.5       31.3
Other taxes                          (0.1)      (0.8)       (0.2)      (0.6)

Total                               $ 9.4        7.2       $21.4        8.0  
                                                        

     Other operation and maintenance expenses for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1994 increased primarily due to increases in
employee-related expenses, amortization of environmental charges
previously deferred and outage-related expenses at SCE&G's nuclear
generating facility and Williams Station.  The depreciation and
amortization increases for the three and six months reflect
additions to plant in service.  The increases in income tax expense
for the three and six months' comparisons correspond to the
increases in income and reflect the increase in  the  corporate 
tax  rate  from  34%  to  35%  which  was  recorded in August 1993
and was retroactive to January 1, 1993.
