   Pursuant to Rule 429, the Prospectus includes 2,718,832 shares of Common Stock (the "Prior Shares") previously registered by the Registrant on March 19, 2004 in Registration Statement No. 333-113749, as amended, for which a filing fee of $12,181 (the "Prior Filing Fee") was remitted to the Commission at the time of its registration.  In accordance with Rule 457(r) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant desires to offset the Prior Filing Fee against the registration fee payable for the registration of the Registrant's Common Stock registered hereby and, therefore, no additional registration fee is due and payable with respect to the Prior Shares.
     The Registrant hereby amends this Registration Statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this Registration Statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the Registration Statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
 
When this prospectus uses the words ‘‘SCANA,’’ ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ and ‘‘our,’’ they refer to SCANA Corporation, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires.

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), utilizing a "shelf" registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may, from time to time, sell shares of our common stock pursuant to the Plan. All shares of our common stock sold under the Plan will be sold under that registration statement.
 
This prospectus provides you with a general description of the Plan.  The registration statement we filed with the SEC includes exhibits that provide more detail on descriptions of the matters discussed in this prospectus.  Please carefully read this prospectus, together with the registration statement, the exhibits thereto and the additional information regarding us, our business and the risks we face in our business and operations before making an investment decision.
 
You should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. We have not authorized any other person to provide you with different or inconsistent information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. We are not making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where such offer or sale is not permitted. The information contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein is accurate only as of the dates such information is or was presented, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or of any sale of our common stock. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.
 
We are not offering the common stock pursuant to the Plan in any state where the offer is not permitted.
 
We utilize the services of a registered broker-dealer as necessary to effect securities transactions under the Plan.
 

PLAN FEATURES - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

           The SCANA Investor Plus Plan (the "Plan") offers a convenient and economical way to buy, hold and sell shares of SCANA common stock.  Below are some frequently asked questions and answers about the Plan:

 
(1)    Who is eligible to participate in the Plan?  Any United States resident may purchase shares through the Plan.  Residents of some states will receive our information from a registered broker-dealer.

 
(2)    What is the minimum initial investment for the purchase of shares by a person who is not currently a  SCANA or South Carolina Electric & Gas Company  ("SCE&G") stockholder?  $250

 
(3)    What are our minimum and maximum cash investments?  Our minimum cash investment is $25 per investment and our maximum is $100,000 in the aggregate per calendar year.  A fee of $25 will be charged against your Plan account for each check and bank draft that is returned by the bank due to non-sufficient funds.

 
(4)    How is the price of purchased shares determined?  For shares purchased on the open market for an investment date, the price of your shares will be the weighted average purchase price of all shares purchased for the Plan that investment day. This will include brokerage commissions, any related service charges and taxes.  For shares purchased directly from SCANA, we average the high and low sales prices of SCANA common stock on the trading date prior to an investment date, as reported on The New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape and published in The Wall Street Journal or, if not so reported, based on market quotations as we deem appropriate.  For shares purchased on the open market, a commission is charged.  The current commission charge is $0.06 per share, although such commission charge may be changed at any time.  There is no commission charge if shares are purchased directly from SCANA.

 
 
 


 
(5)    Does the Plan currently purchase shares directly from SCANA?  Yes, however, the Plan may in the future switch to open market purchases without notice.

 
(6)    How often are shares purchased by the Plan?  The Plan invests in shares twice a month - usually on the 1st and 15th (or, if such days are not business days, the next business days).  All cash received at least two business days prior to an investment date and all reinvested dividends are sent to the Plan's custodian (currently Merrill Lynch) on the investment date.  The Plan has no control over the date on which the custodian purchases shares on the open market.  When shares are purchased directly from SCANA, the custodian purchases the shares on the date the funds are received by the custodian.  We have schedules for the cash due dates and we will send one to you upon request.

 
(7)    Is there a commission for selling shares through the Plan?  Yes, a brokerage commission is charged for selling shares through the Plan.  The commission charge is currently $0.18 per share, although such commission charge may be changed at any time.
 
 
(8)    When are statements sent?  We will send you a statement every time you have activity in your account such as a purchase, withdrawal or sale.  Also, even if you have no activity in your account we always send an annual statement in January of each year.  You should keep your statements.  You will need them for tax purposes.  Duplicate statements may be ordered.  There is a minimum fee of $15 for a duplicate statement.  This fee covers the first hour of research.  If more research time is   required there will be a charge of $10 for each additional hour.

 
(9)    Will SCANA send gift certificates? Absolutely.  When you purchase shares for another person (or transfer shares from your own account to another person) and want us to send a gift certificate, let us know.  Please send any Christmas gift requests before December 1.

 
(10)  Can you transfer shares from one account to another?  Of course.  We will send the required form upon request.  However, we will not transfer shares until they have been held in your Plan account for at least two weeks.

 
(11) Will SCANA issue a stock certificate for shares in my Plan account?  Yes.  We will be happy to issue a stock certificate. Please notify us in writing when you want one. We do not issue certificates for partial shares.  There is a charge to replace a lost or stolen stock certificate.  The charge is $10, or two percent of the current market value, whichever is greater.  No stock certificate will be issued for shares held in your account for less than two weeks.  We recommend that you keep your stock certificates in a safe deposit box.  SCANA will not charge for a stock certificate that is lost in the mail on its way to you, if the non-receipt claim is made within a year of the issuance date.

 
(12)   If shares are held in “street name” by a stockbroker, can they participate in the Investor Plus Plan?   No.  You must ask your stockbroker to have the shares issued to you in a stock certificate if you want the shares to participate in the Plan.

 
(13)   Are reinvested dividends taxable income? Yes.  Even reinvested dividends are taxable income.  We will send you a 1099-DIV form or forms indicating your dividend income for the year.

 
(14)   Can you receive dividends in cash for shares held in a Plan account?   Sure.  Just let us know how you want your dividends handled, and we will follow your instructions.  We have   a form which can be used for this purpose. We will mail it to you upon request.

WHO PAYS THE PLAN’S COSTS

We pay all of the administrative costs of the Plan.  You will pay a brokerage commission and other costs when the Plan shares are purchased by the custodian on the open market.  When the Plan buys the common stock directly from SCANA, you pay no brokerage commission.  You will pay a brokerage commission if the Plan sells your common stock for you.

HOW TO ENROLL IN THE PLAN

If you are already a holder of SCANA common stock or SCE&G preferred stock we will enroll your shares in the SCANA Investor Plus Plan when we receive your completed and signed authorization form (which we will send to you upon request).

If you are already a stockholder you may:

 
     (1)  reinvest all or part of the dividends earned by your SCANA common stock and/or your SCE&G preferred stock (we will purchase only shares of SCANA common stock with your dividends);

 
     (2)  make additional investments of SCANA common stock up to $100,000 per calendar year (the minimum investment we can accept is $25 and we can draft your bank account on a monthly basis if you want to make regular investments);
 
 

 
 
     (3)  send us your stock certificates for safekeeping in the Plan;

 
     (4)  receive dividends on Plan shares by check or electronic deposit (We have a form for electronic deposit. Let us know if you need it); and

 
     (5)  purchase shares of SCANA common stock for family members or others and have gift certificates sent to recipients.

If you are not currently a holder of SCANA common stock or SCE&G preferred stock, we will establish your account (which will include all of the above features) when you send us an initial investment of at least $250 along with a completed enrollment form.  Please notify us if you would like an enrollment form sent to you.

You may receive enrollment information from a broker-dealer rather than directly from SCANA.  Some state securities laws require that a registered broker-dealer send information to their residents; therefore, a registered broker-dealer will forward the prospectus and enrollment form to residents of those states.

Below is some important information about dividend record dates and dividend payment dates that will affect reinvestment of your dividends.  The SCANA Corporation Board of Directors sets dividend record dates and payment dates on a quarterly basis; however, the following dates have generally applied in the past:

Record Date
Payment Date
December 10
January 1
March 10
April 1
June 10
July 1
September 10
October 1

If your account is enrolled for reinvestment of dividends before a record date, your dividends can be reinvested on the next dividend payment date.  For instance, if you enroll prior to December 10, your January 1 dividend can be reinvested.  We will confirm receipt of your enrollment form.

What about "street name" accounts? If your SCANA common stock or SCE&G preferred stock is held by a stockbroker in "street name," you must have the stockbroker have the stock issued to you in your own name if you want the shares to participate in the Plan.

We will gladly send you an enrollment form if you are not already a stockholder or an authorization form if you are currently a stockholder.  If you would like to have either sent to you, call 1-800-763-5891.

CASH INVESTMENTS

                  Minimum Investment    $25 per investment date
                  Maximum Investment   $100,000 in aggregate per calendar year

You may purchase additional shares of SCANA common stock with cash investments.  Once you are enrolled in the Plan, you may send investments to SCANA of at least $25 per investment and not more than $100,000 in the aggregate per calendar year. All checks are subject to collection by SCANA and must be in United States dollars.  A fee of $25 will be charged against your Plan account for each check and bank draft that is returned by the bank due to non-sufficient funds.

 
 
 



Your investment may be made by check, money order or bank draft (automatic monthly debit of your bank account). Please contact us if you are interested in the bank draft option. The minimum investment of $25 also applies to your bank draft.

You will not be paid interest on your cash investments that are received prior to the purchase of shares; therefore, you should send your investments to be received as close to the investment due date as possible.  The investment due date is two full business days prior to the investment date.

If your check or other investment is returned because of insufficient funds or any other reason, we will sell the shares purchased for you and enough additional shares to cover the applied fee of $25 for non-sufficient funds.  The sale will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service, as required.  You may have a tax liability as a result of the sale.

 SCANA will refund your investment upon request if the request is received at least three business days prior to the investment date.

If you purchase shares through the Plan and fail to specify whether or not you want the dividends paid in cash or reinvested, we will reinvest the dividends earned by these shares.

DATES WHEN SHARES ARE PURCHASED

Investment Dates: Around the 1st and 15th of every month

We send cash to the custodian twice monthly, usually on the 1st and 15th. Of course, all these dates are subject to adjustment for weekends and holidays. We must have all funds in hand at least two FULL business days prior to the investment date.  If you would like to have a list of the investment due dates and investment dates, let us know, and we will send it to you.  We process bank drafts on the 25th of the month, and all bank draft investments are sent to the custodian on the first of the month.  The Plan has no control over the dates on which the custodian purchases shares on the open market.  When shares are purchased directly from SCANA, the custodian purchases the shares on the date the funds are received by the custodian.

TWO-WEEK HOLDING PERIOD

Shares purchased through the Plan may not be sold or issued in certificate form until the shares have been held in your Plan account for two weeks.

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT DATES

Dividend Record Date
If you own stock on a record date, you will receive the next dividend payment.
 
Dividend Payment Date
Date the dividend is paid.
 
Investment Dates
Twice a month, usually on the 1st and 15th
 
Investment Due Date
Two full business days prior to the investment date.
 
Sale Dates
We sell shares at least once every week.

PRICE OF PURCHASED SHARES

The price of shares purchased on the open market for any investment date will be the weighted average of the purchase prices, including a brokerage commission, any related service charges and applicable taxes, for all shares purchased for the Plan for that investment date.

 
 
 



The price of shares purchased directly from SCANA will be the average of the high and low sales prices of our common stock on the trading day just prior to the purchase date.

As you know, the price of common stock fluctuates daily, and we have no control over this.  You must bear the market risk associated with fluctuations in the price of common stock.

We allocate shares to three decimal places, so be aware that there will usually be a partial share in your Plan account.  This practice allows full investment of your dividends and cash investments.

PLAN STATEMENTS

We mail statements as follows:

      (1)     after each quarterly dividend is paid;
 
           (2)     after investments on the 1st and 15th of the month for those who send in cash investments;

           (3)     after any other account activity such as a sale or withdrawal of shares; and

           (4)     in January of each year.

The statements show the date of each purchase, the amount invested, the share price paid and the number of shares purchased with each investment, as well as the accumulated total shares held in your Plan account.  The statements also show any withdrawals or sales.

 You should keep your statements for tax purposes.  Statements give you
  the original cost of the shares.  You will need this cost basis to determine
  gain or loss if you sell your shares.  Duplicate statements may be ordered. 
  There is a minimum fee of $15 for a duplicate statement.  This fee covers
  the first hour of research.  If more time is required there will be a charge
  of $10 for each additional hour.

Your certificated shares (shares represented by actual stock certificates) will show on your statements reflecting dividend reinvestments and on statements sent to you when you make optional cash investments.  The certificated shares will NOT show on statements issued at other times.

You may detach the bottom portion of any statement and use it to send instructions to us.  Our address is on the left side of the statement. Be sure to sign any instructions sent to us.

We will mail to you a 1099-DIV form or forms by January 31 of each year reporting the SCANA and SCE&G dividends received by you during the prior year.  In addition, if you sell shares through the Plan, we will send you a 1099-B reporting the sales proceeds.  All 1099-DIV and 1099-B forms will be filed with the IRS.  You will need these forms for your income tax records.

HOW TO DEPOSIT SHARES INTO THE PLAN

You may deposit your certificated shares of SCANA common stock into the Plan by completing a Share Deposit Form and, if you are not a Plan participant, an Enrollment Form, or if you are a Plan participant, a Change Form, and delivering your certificates and the Share Deposit Form along with the Enrollment Form or the Change Form to SCANA.  Deposited shares will be credited to your Plan account.  Dividends paid on shares of common stock deposited into your Plan account will be reinvested in common stock unless you notify us otherwise on the Enrollment Form or the Change Form, as applicable.  We recommend that you use certified mail and insure the certificates against loss.

 
 
 



HOW TO OBTAIN SHARE CERTIFICATES

You may obtain a stock certificate for any or all of the whole shares held in your Plan account at any time without charge, except that no stock certificates will be issued representing shares held in your Plan account for less than two weeks.  We do not issue certificates for partial shares.

Withdrawal of shares requires notification in writing signed by all account owners.  You may use the bottom of any statement for this purpose, write a letter or request a Withdrawal Form.

If you request withdrawal of all your shares between a dividend record date and the payment date, there will be a delay until after payment of the dividend before the shares can be sent to you.

There is a cost to replace a lost or stolen stock certificate.  The cost is $10 or two percent of the current market value, whichever is greater.  We recommend that you keep your stock certificates in a safe deposit box.  SCANA will not charge for a stock certificate that is lost in the mail on its way to you, if the non-receipt claim is made within a year of the issuance date.

SALE OF SHARES

We will sell your Plan shares for you if you notify us in writing; however,  no shares may be sold until they have been held in your Plan account for at least two weeks. We do not take telephone requests to sell shares, and we require signatures of all owners to sell shares.

If you want us to sell your certificated shares, you must send the stock certificates to us with instructions to sell signed by all owners of the stock.  We also have a form which instructs us to sell certificated shares.  Let us know if you need one. Please mail stock certificates by certified or registered mail for safety.

We sell shares once a week.  If you want specific details about when sales are being processed during any given week, call us at 1-800-763-5891.

We sell shares on the open market at prevailing market prices.  The price you will receive for your shares is the weighted average sales price of all shares sold by the custodian on the day of sale - minus any brokerage commission.  We will mail the proceeds of your sale to you by first class mail.  Sales are reported at year-end to both you and the Internal Revenue Service.

The custodian has total authority over when shares are sold.  This timing cannot be influenced by SCANA or the participant, and you must bear the market risk associated with fluctuations in the price of common stock.  If you want to negotiate the price at which your shares are to be sold, it will be necessary for you to request a stock certificate and engage the services of a stockbroker to handle the sale for you.  We will sell partial shares only if you sell all your shares.

If you request the sale of all your shares between a dividend record date and the dividend payment date, the sale will be delayed until after payment of the dividend.  (For example, if we receive your request on September 15 to sell all your shares, the sale will not be processed until after October 1.)

We will replace an uncashed check once at no charge.  Replacements thereafter will cost $10 each and will be sent only following our receipt of the replacement fee.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

We will transfer shares for you at no cost. You may:

            (1) transfer shares to an existing Plan account; or
            (2) establish a new Plan account; or
 
 
            (3) have a stock certificate issued in another person’s name.

At the time of your request, please provide the name, address and social security number of the person receiving the shares.  We will not transfer partial shares unless you are transferring all of the shares in your Plan account to another Plan account, and we will not transfer shares unless they have been held in your Plan account for at least two weeks.

All transfers require the MEDALLION guaranteed signatures of all account owners.  Most banks and stockbrokers can MEDALLION guarantee your signature.  Our transfer forms have complete instructions.   Call 1-800-763-5891 for a transfer form.

           We will send a gift certificate for shares transferred to a new (or existing) Plan account if you request it.

CHANGING YOUR ENROLLMENT STATUS OR TERMINATING PARTICIPATION

You can change your enrollment status at any time.  You may decide to stop reinvesting all your dividends and reinvest only part of them, or you may decide you would rather have your dividends paid to you by check or electronic deposit.  You must notify us in writing if you want to change your enrollment status, and all owners must sign each request.  We have a form you may use to make a change in your enrollment status.  We will send it to you upon request.

Any request for change of status received between a dividend record date and the dividend payment date will be delayed until after payment of the dividend.

You may terminate your participation in the Plan at any time by notifying us in writing.  We can send you a certificate for all whole shares in your Plan account and a check representing the sale of the partial share, or we can sell all the shares for you.  This, too, requires notification in writing signed by all owners.  You can use the bottom of your statement for this notification or write us a letter, or we can send you a form for this purpose.

If you decide to terminate your participation in the Plan between the dividend record date and the dividend payment date, there will be a delay until after the dividend is paid and the resulting shares are posted to your account.  Also, no termination will be processed until after all shares in your Plan account have been held in the account for at least two weeks.

DEATH OF A PLAN PARTICIPANT

Upon receipt of notification of your death, we will close your Plan account as soon as practicable consistent with the last paragraph of the foregoing section and send a stock certificate evidencing the shares in your Plan account plus a check representing the sale of the partial share to your address of record.  We also will send complete, easy-to-understand instructions so that the legal representative of your estate, or the joint owner of your shares, may transfer the shares to a new registration.

TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PLAN PARTICIPATION

Dividends paid by SCANA Corporation, or its subsidiary, SCE&G, are considered taxable income - whether paid in cash or reinvested.  Any dividends paid to you in cash or reinvested for you will be reported at year end to you and the Internal Revenue Service.

The sale of any shares through the Plan will be reported to you and the Internal Revenue Service.  You can develop the cost basis of your shares from your statements.

Since each stockholder’s financial situation is different, you should consult your individual tax advisor concerning any tax questions you may have about Plan participation.

STOCK SPLITS, STOCK DIVIDENDS AND RIGHTS OFFERINGS

Any stock dividends or split shares distributed by SCANA on your Plan shares will be added to your account.  Dividends earned by these shares will be reinvested unless you notify us to the contrary. If SCANA should determine to offer securities through a rights offering, you will receive rights based upon the total number of whole shares in your account.

DESCRIPTION OF SCANA AND SUBSIDIARIES

SCANA is an energy-based holding company which, through its subsidiaries, engages principally in electric utility operations in South Carolina, natural gas utility operations in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, and other energy-related businesses.

SCANA is a South Carolina corporation with general business powers, and was incorporated on October 10, 1984. SCANA’s principal executive office is located at 1426 Main Street, Columbia, South Carolina 29201, telephone (803) 217-9000, and its mailing address is Columbia, South Carolina 29218.

Regulated Utilities

We operate our regulated utility businesses in North Carolina and South Carolina through
wholly-owned subsidiaries. These regulated businesses continue to be the foundation of our
operations and are conducted in an environment supported by growing service territories and favorable regulatory treatment. We are allowed, subject to state commission approval during annual fuel and purchased gas cost hearings, full pass-through to retail customers of our electric fuel and natural gas costs. This approval has historically been granted. There is also a weather normalization clause in effect for our natural gas customers in North Carolina and South Carolina. These measures mitigate our commodity price risk and allow us to focus our efforts on serving our customers. The following is a discussion of our principal regulated utility subsidiaries.

South Carolina Electric & Gas Company.  SCE&G is a regulated public utility engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity and the purchase, sale and transportation, primarily at retail, of natural gas in South Carolina.  SCE&G provides all of its electric generation capacity through its own facilities and through the purchase of all of the electric generation of Williams Station, which is owned by South Carolina Generating Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCANA.  SCE&G also operates and has a two-thirds interest in V. C. Summer Nuclear Station in South Carolina.

Public Service Company of North Carolina, Incorporated (‘‘PSNC Energy’’). PSNC Energy is a public utility engaged primarily in purchasing, selling, transporting and distributing natural gas to residential, commercial and industrial customers in North Carolina. PSNC Energy is regulated by the North Carolina Utilities Commission (‘‘NCUC’’). PSNC Energy’s rates are established using a benchmark cost of gas approved by the NCUC, which may be modified periodically to reflect changes in the market price of natural gas and changes in the rates charged by PSNC Energy’s pipeline transporters. The NCUC reviews PSNC Energy’s gas purchasing practices and prices each year.

Carolina Gas Transmission Corporation (‘‘CGTC’’). CGTC operates as an open access, transportation-only interstate pipeline company and is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.  CGTC transports natural gas in southeastern Georgia and in South Carolina and has interconnections with Southern Natural Gas Company at Port Wentworth, Georgia and with Southern LNG, Inc. at Elba Island, near Savannah, Georgia. CGTC also has interconnections with Southern Natural in Aiken County, South Carolina, and with Transcontinental Gas Pipeline Corporation in Cherokee and Spartanburg counties, South Carolina. CGTC’s customers include SCE&G (which uses natural gas for electricity generation and for gas distribution to retail customers), SCANA Energy Marketing, Inc. (which markets natural gas to industrial and sale for resale customers, primarily in the Southeast), other natural gas utilities, municipalities and county gas authorities, and industrial customers.

Principal Nonregulated Business

SCANA Energy Marketing, Inc. SCANA Energy Marketing, Inc. markets natural gas primarily in the southeastern United States, and provides energy-related risk management services to producers and customers. A division of SCANA Energy Marketing, Inc., SCANA Energy, markets natural gas in Georgia’s deregulated natural gas market. SCANA Energy faces significant competition in the Georgia natural gas market.

DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMON STOCK

General

The rights of holders of our common stock are currently governed by the South Carolina Business Corporation Act, and our restated articles of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which restated articles of incorporation and bylaws have been incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The following summary describes the material rights of SCANA’s shareholders. The summaries under this heading are not detailed. Whenever particular provisions of our restated articles of incorporation or bylaws are referred to, those statements are qualified by reference to those restated articles of incorporation or bylaws.

Authorized Capital Stock: Under the South Carolina Business Corporation Act, a corporation may not issue a greater number of shares than have been authorized by its articles of incorporation. Our authorized capital stock consists of 150,000,000 shares of SCANA common stock, no par value, and no shares of preferred stock. At the close of business on October 31, 2008, approximately 117,500,000 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding, and not more than 7.5 million shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to our benefit plans and the Plan.

Voting: Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote, in person or by proxy, for each share held on the applicable record date with respect to each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders, and may not cumulate their votes.

Dividends: Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.

Liquidation Rights: In the event we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs, the holders of our common stock would be entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to shareholders of our common stock remaining after payment in full of liabilities.

Preemptive Rights: Holders of our common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares when we offer for sale additional shares of our common stock.

Provisions Relating to Change in Control

Our restated articles of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions which could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of SCANA. These provisions are summarized below.

 
 
 


Corporate Governance Provisions

Our restated articles of incorporation provide that our board of directors is subdivided into three classes, with each class as nearly equal in number of directors as possible. Each class of directors serves for three years and one class is elected each year. SCANA currently has 12 directors (in classes with terms expiring in 2008, 2009 and 2010). Our restated articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that:

 
•  the authorized number of directors may range from a minimum of nine to a maximum of 20, as determined from time to time by the directors;
 
•  directors can be removed only (x) for cause or (y) otherwise by the affirmative vote of the holders of 80 percent of the shares of our stock who are entitled to vote; and
 
•  vacancies and newly created directorships on our board of directors can be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, and any new director elected to fill a vacancy will serve until the next shareholders’ meeting at which directors of any class are elected.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Certain provisions of our restated articles of incorporation and bylaws of may have the effect of discouraging unilateral tender offers or other attempts to take over and acquire our business. These provisions might discourage some potentially interested purchaser from attempting a unilateral takeover bid for us on terms which some shareholders might favor.

Our restated articles of incorporation require that certain corporate actions and fundamental transactions must be approved by the holders of 80 percent of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote on the matter unless a majority of the members of our board of directors (other than members related to the potentially interested purchaser or other person attempting to take over our business) has approved the action or transaction, in which case the required shareholder approval will be the minimum approval required by applicable law. The corporate actions or fundamental transactions that are subject to these provisions of our restated articles of incorporation are those corporate actions or transactions that require approval by shareholders under applicable law or our restated articles of incorporation, including certain amendments of our restated articles of incorporation or bylaws, certain transactions involving our merger, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution or winding up, certain sales or other dispositions of our assets or the assets of any of our subsidiaries, certain issuances (or reclassifications) of our securities or the securities of any of our subsidiaries or certain recapitalizations of transactions that have the effect of increasing the voting power of the potentially interested purchaser or other person attempting to take over our business.

Prevention of Greenmail

Our restated articles of incorporation provide that we cannot purchase any of our outstanding common stock at a price we know to be more than the market price from a person who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than three percent of our outstanding common stock and who has purchased or agreed to purchase any shares of our common stock within the most recent two-year period, without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock other than such person, unless we offer to purchase any and all of the outstanding shares of common stock.


 
 
 


RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock involves risks. See ‘‘Risk Factors’’ included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, within Item 1A, Risk Factors, as updated and restated in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008,

Item 15.      Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The South Carolina Business Corporation Act of 1988, as amended, provides for indemnification of the Registrant's directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may include indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").  Under Sections 33-8-510, 33-8-550 and 33-8-560 of the South Carolina Business Corporation Act of 1988, as amended, a South Carolina corporation is authorized generally to indemnify its directors and officers in civil or criminal actions if they acted in good faith and reasonably believed their conduct to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.  In addition, the Registrant carries insurance on behalf of directors, officers, employees and agents that may cover liabilities under the Securities Act.  Finally, as permitted by Section 33-2-102 of the South Carolina Business Corporation Act of 1988, the Registrant's Restated Articles of Incorporation provide that no director of the Registrant shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of his fiduciary duty as a director occurring after April 26, 1989, except for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve gross negligence, intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) certain unlawful distributions or (iv) any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Item 16.      Exhibits.

Exhibits required to be filed with this Registration Statement are listed in the Exhibit Index immediately following the signature page.  Certain of such exhibits which have heretofore been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and which are designated by reference to their exhibit numbers in prior filings are hereby incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

Item 17.      Undertakings

(a)           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)           To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)           to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii)           to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)           to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the applicable registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)           That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)           Each prospectus filed by such registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii)           Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x), for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date it is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
 
(5)           That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
 
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer to sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)         Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)         Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by such undersigned registrant;

(iii)        The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or their securities provided by or on behalf of such undersigned registrant; and

(iv)         Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b)           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
