Item 5.  Other Events.

        On December 11, 1998,  The Public  Service  Commission of South Carolina
(Commission)  issued an Order  requiring  South Carolina  Electric & Gas Company
(SCE&G),  the  principal  subsidiary  of SCANA  Corporation,  to  reduce  retail
electric rates on a prospective basis. The Commission acted in response to SCE&G
reporting  that it earned a 13.04 percent return on common equity for its retail
electric  operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 1998. This return
on common  equity  exceeded  SCE&G's  authorized  return on common  equity of 12
percent  by  1.04  percent,   or  $22.7  million,   primarily  as  a  result  of
record-breaking   heat  experienced   during  the  summer.  The  Order  requires
prospective rate reductions on a per kilowatt-hour basis, based on actual retail
sales for the 12 months  ended  September  30,  1998.  This  action  reduces the
reported  return on common equity for the 12 months ended  September 30, 1998 to
the  Commission-authorized  level.  The Order requires the rate reductions to be
placed into effect with the first billing cycle of January 1999.

        The Order also requires the Commission  Staff to review SCE&G's earnings
for the  twelve  month  period  ended  September  30,  1998 and report any other
potential  ratepayer savings to the Commission within 30 days of the date of the
Order.

        SCE&G has not yet filed a response.
