Item 7.01

REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

The information in this Item 7.01 shall be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

In connection with the proposed offering described in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, SCANA Corporation (the “Company”) intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the common stock to finance capital expenditures, including the construction of new nuclear units, and for general corporate purposes. The Company previously indicated its intent to finance capital expenditures for such new nuclear units through a roughly equal combination of debt and equity financing, and expected to conduct an equity offering during the second quarter of 2009. However, in conjunction with the decision by Standard & Poor’s Corporation to include the Company in the S&P 500 Index after the market close on December 31, 2008, the Company plans to sell its common stock sooner than pre viously contemplated.

The Company estimates that, solely as a result of conducting this common stock offering now rather than when previously planned, the incremental dilutive impact on 2009 earnings would be approximately one percent thereof, due to the minimal period of additional months outstanding and the more efficient execution of this type of transaction.

In addition, on October 30, 2008, the Company reaffirmed its previously announced earnings guidance for 2008 earnings of $2.90 to $3.05 per share. All of the Company’s earnings guidance estimates assume normal weather in the Company’s electric and natural gas service areas for the remainder of 2008 and exclude any potential impacts from changes in accounting principles and gains or losses from certain investing activities, litigation, and sales of assets, and other factors and risks that could impact future earnings are discussed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and below under the Safe Harbor Statement.

During December 2008, the Company experie nced milder than normal weather in its service territories. Notwithstanding this milder than normal weather and subject to the last sentence of the previous paragraph, the Company believes that its earnings will still be in the previously announced range, though likely in the lower half of the range.
