Item 2.02 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On February 9, 2007, SCANA Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) issued the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The press release discloses a non-GAAP measure, GAAP-adjusted net earnings from operations, which in 2006 excludes from net income (i) the cumulative effect of the Company’s adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” and (ii) the favorable settlement of certain litigation and in 2005 excludes from net income the effects of sales of certain investments. The Company’s management believes that GAAP-adjusted net earnings from operations provides a meaningful representation of the Company’s fundamental earnings power and can aid in performing period-over-period financial analysis and comparison with peer group data. In management’s opinion, GAAP-adjusted net earnings from operations is a useful indicator of the financial results of the Company’s primary businesses. This measure is also a basis for management’s provision of earnings guidance and growth projections, and it is used by management in making resource allocation and other budgetary and operational decisions. This non-GAAP performance measure is not intended to replace the GAAP measure of net earnings, but is offered as a supplement to it.


Item 8.01 OTHER EVENTS

a. On February 9, 2007, the Company posted information titled 2007 - 2009 Projections for Capital Expenditures and Cash Flow” to its website at www.scana.com. That information is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2.
 
b. In January 2007, Public Service Company of North Carolina, Incorporated (PSNC Energy), a subsidiary of SCANA Corporation, ceased to be a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, PSNC Energy expects to post financial statements periodically to its website at www.psncenergy.com. Such financial statements are expected to be posted no later than 90 days after December 31 for annual periods and no later than 60 days after March 31, June 30 and September 30,
as applicable, for quarterly periods.
