Chairman of the SCANA Corporation
Stock Purchase-Savings Plan Committee
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
SCANA CORPORATION
STOCK PURCHASE-SAVINGS PLAN:
We have audited the Statements of Financial Position of the SCANA
Corporation Stock Purchase-Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, and the related Statements of
Changes in Participants' Equity for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Committee for
Administration of the Plan (the "Committee"). Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by the Committee, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Plan as of
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 and its changes in participants'
equity for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The
supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes and
of reportable transactions are presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required
by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of
the Plan's management. Such supplemental schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated
in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

SCANA CORPORATION
STOCK PURCHASE-SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting.
Investments
Common stock investments in the accompanying financial statements
are stated at market value and bonds are stated at cost, which
approximates fair value. Costs of administering the Stock Purchase
Savings Plan (Plan) are paid by the Plan sponsor, SCANA Corporation
(Company).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain 1995 and 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the 1996 presentation.
2. Plan Information:
The following description of the Plan provides only general
information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a
complete description of the Plan's provisions.
The Plan is designed to encourage voluntary systematic savings by
employees with the Company's and participating subsidiaries'
contributions as an added incentive. The Company and participating
subsidiaries match employee contributions made through payroll
deductions of up to 6% of eligible earnings. Employees may contribute
up to an additional 9% of eligible earnings but such additional
contributions are not supplemented by the Company's and participating
subsidiaries' contributions. Employee contributions are invested in
common stock of the Company or, prior to November 1, 1988, such
contributions could, in the alternative, have been invested in United
States Savings Bonds. The Company's and participating subsidiaries'
contributions are invested only in shares of common stock of the
Company. Effective July 1, 1989, Company and participating
subsidiaries' contributions are fully and immediately vested.
The Plan, as amended, allows Participants to contribute up to 15%
of eligible earnings on an after-tax basis (Regular Savings) or before-
tax basis (Tax Deferred Savings), except that "highly compensated
employees" within the context of Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("Code"),
as amended, Section 414(q) have been subject to Tax Deferred
contribution limitations of 6% or less pursuant to the limitation of
Code Section 401(k)(3) and the Regulations thereunder. Regular Savings
are included in wages subject to federal or state income tax
withholding, whereas Tax Deferred Savings are exempt from withholding of
federal or state income tax. Participants may request a distribution in
the form of whole shares or cash of all securities and earnings credited
to their Regular Savings accounts (cash is distributed for fractional
shares). The Plan does not guarantee that market value of the
securities at date of distribution will equal or exceed cost.
Participants may not request a distribution from their Tax Deferred
Savings accounts before age 59-1/2 unless they can demonstrate a
hardship.
12
<PAGE>
Participants may request a loan from their Tax Deferred and Regular
Savings accounts. Loans are made available based on the asset value in
a Participant's Tax Deferred and Regular Savings accounts at the time of
the loan, but in any case, not less than $500 or greater than $50,000.
Assets equal to the amount of the loan are converted into cash by the
Trustee and made available to the borrowing Participant; the Participant
no longer earns interest or dividends on the liquidated assets. The
period of repayment for any loan cannot exceed five years, except a loan
used to acquire the principal residence of the Participant may be
extended to a maximum of ten years. All payments of the loan, including
interest, are used to repurchase shares of SCANA common stock on behalf
of the Participant. A Participant may have no more than two loans from
the Plan outstanding at a time. Upon termination of employment or
death, the outstanding balance of the loan may be paid in full or will
be converted to taxable income on the distribution to the participant or
the participant's beneficiary; if the terminating Participant elects to
delay distribution (permissible when the present value of the
Participant's vested accrued benefit exceeds $3,500), an unpaid loan
balance may be converted to taxable income prior to the distribution of
assets to the Participant. Participants may receive a distribution of
all securities and earnings credited to their Tax Deferred Savings
accounts in the event of retirement, disability, termination of
employment or death.
Participants may request a distribution of all Company
Contributions which have been in existence for two years following the
close of the Plan Year during which they were made, even if they elected
to contribute on a tax deferred basis. If the participant has
participated in the Plan for at least five years, all Company
contributions are eligible for distribution.
Distribution due to the death of the Participant will be made to
the surviving spouse, unless there is no surviving spouse or the spouse
has consented in writing to distribution to a beneficiary designated by
the Participant.
At December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, there were 753, 795 and 922
participants, respectively, (including former employees) in the Regular
Savings Option and 2,854, 2,876 and 3,237 participants, respectively, in
the Tax Deferred Savings Option. At February 21, 1997 all of the
Company's and the Company's participating subsidiaries' 4,118 employees
were eligible to participate in the Plan, and payroll deductions under
the Plan were in effect for 3,637 employees. At the SCANA Board of
Directors meeting held on August 25, 1993, the Board voted that all
temporary employees hired in such capacity on or after October 30, 1993
not be permitted to participate in the Plan. On December 14, 1994, the
Employee Plans Committee, created by the Board of Directors on December
15, 1993 for the purpose of reviewing and adopting most plan amendments,
reversed the exclusion of temporary employees from plan participation.
The Plan, as amended through 1996, has been approved by the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) as a qualified employees' trust under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code and, as such, is exempt from federal
income taxes under Section 501(a). Participants are not taxed on the
income earned or Company contributions made for their accounts, pursuant
to the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, until
such time as the employees or their beneficiaries receive distributions
from the Plan.
First Union National Bank of South Carolina is the Trustee pursuant
to a Trust Agreement executed on December 16, 1991.

4. Accounts Payable to Participants and Former Participants:
Amounts included in participants' equity to be distributed
to participants and former participants were $1,178,019,
$1,648,543 and $1,219,970 at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.
5. Appreciation in Market Value of U. S. Savings Bonds:
Investments in U. S. Savings Bonds are reported at cost.
When a participant requests a loan, the U. S. Savings Bonds are
redeemed at their market value (cost plus interest earned) and
the cash is provided to the participant. Therefore, although the
U. S. Savings Bonds are reported at cost, appreciation is
realized when the bonds are redeemed for purposes of providing a
loan.
