The policies provide coverage to the nuclear facility for property damage and outage costs up to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$2.75 billion&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. In addition, a builder&amp;#8217;s risk insurance policy has been purchased from NEIL for the construction of the New Units.&amp;#160; This policy provides the owners of the New Units up to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$500 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in limits of accidental property damage occurring during construction.

SCE&amp;amp;G has no reason to anticipate a serious nuclear incident. However, if such an incident were to occur, it likely would have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:34px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;New Nuclear Construction&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The parties to the EPC Contract have established both informal and formal dispute resolution procedures in order to resolve issues that arise during the course of constructing a project of this magnitude.&amp;#160; During the course of activities under the EPC Contract, issues have materialized that impact project budget and schedule.  Claims specifically relating to COL delays, design modifications of the shield building and certain pre-fabricated modules for the New Units and unanticipated rock conditions at the site resulted in assertions of contractual entitlement to recover additional costs to be incurred.  The resolution of these specific claims is discussed in Note 2.  SCE&amp;amp;G expects to resolve any disputes that arise in the future through both the informal and formal procedures and anticipates that any additional costs that arise through such dispute resolution processes, as well as other costs identified from time to time, will be recoverable through rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In February 2013, work began on the reinforcing bar reconfiguration in the Unit 2 nuclear island elevator pit and sump areas.&amp;#160; The initial pouring of the Unit 2 nuclear island basemat could take place in the first quarter of 2013 following the completion of this work and based upon an expedited approval &amp;#160;by the NRC staff.&amp;#160; It is not anticipated that the resolution of this issue will cause a delay in the commercial operation of the New Units in 2017 and 2018.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Environmental&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;SCE&amp;amp;G&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In December&amp;#160;2009, the EPA issued a final finding that atmospheric concentrations of GHG endanger public health and welfare within the meaning of Section&amp;#160;202(a)&amp;#160;of the CAA. The finding, which became effective in January&amp;#160;2010, enabled the EPA to regulate GHG emissions under the CAA. On April 13, 2012, the EPA issued a proposed rule to establish an NSPS for GHG emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. If finalized as proposed, this rule would establish performance standards for new and modified generating units, along with emissions guidelines for existing generating units.  This rule would amend the NSPS for electric generating units and establish the first NSPS for GHG emissions. Essentially, the rule would require all new fossil fuel-fired power plants to meet the carbon dioxide emissions profile of a combined cycle natural gas plant. While most new natural gas plants will not be required to include any new technologies, no new coal plants could be constructed without carbon capture and sequestration capabilities.  The Company is evaluating the proposed rule, but cannot predict when the rule will become final, if at all, or what conditions it may impose on the Company, if any. The Company expects that any costs incurred to comply with GHG emission requirements will be recoverable through rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2005, the EPA issued the CAIR, which required the District of Columbia and 28 states, including South Carolina, to reduce nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions in order to attain mandated state levels.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;CAIR set emission limits to be met in two phases beginning in 2009 and 2015, respectively, for nitrogen oxide and beginning in 2010 and 2015, respectively, for sulfur dioxide.&amp;#160; SCE&amp;amp;G and GENCO determined that additional air quality controls would be needed to meet the CAIR requirements.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;On July&amp;#160;6, 2011 the EPA issued the CSAPR.&amp;#160; This rule&amp;#160;replaced CAIR and the Clean Air Transport Rule&amp;#160; proposed in July&amp;#160;2010 and&amp;#160;is aimed at addressing power plant emissions that may contribute to air pollution in other states.&amp;#160; CSAPR requires states in the eastern United States to reduce power plant emissions, specifically sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.&amp;#160; On December&amp;#160;30, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued an order staying CSAPR and reinstating CAIR pending resolution of an appeal of CSAPR.  On August 21, 2012, the Court vacated CSAPR and left CAIR in place.  The EPA's petition for rehearing of the Court's order has been denied.  Air quality control installations that SCE&amp;amp;G and GENCO have already completed allowed the Company to comply with the reinstated CAIR.&amp;#160; The Company will continue to pursue strategies to comply with all applicable environmental regulations.&amp;#160;Any costs incurred to comply with this rule&amp;#160;or other rules&amp;#160;issued by the EPA in the future are expected to be recoverable through rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In June&amp;#160;2010, the EPA issued a final rule&amp;#160;for a one-hour ambient air quality standard for sulfur dioxide.&amp;#160; This standard may require some of SCE&amp;amp;G's smaller coal-fired units to reduce their sulfur dioxide emissions to levels to be determined by the EPA and/or DHEC.&amp;#160; The costs incurred to comply with this standard are expected to be recovered through rates. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In April&amp;#160;2012, the EPA's rule containing new standards for mercury and other specified air pollutants became effective.&amp;#160; The rule provides up to four years for facilities to meet the standards, and the Company's evaluation of the rule is ongoing. The Company's decision in 2012 to retire certain coal-fired units or convert them to burn natural gas and its project to build the New Units (see Note 1) along with other actions are expected to result in the Company's compliance with the EPA's rule. &amp;#160;Any costs incurred to comply with this rule&amp;#160;or other rules&amp;#160;issued by the EPA in the future are expected to be recoverable through rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The EPA is conducting an enforcement initiative against the utilities industry related to the NSR provisions and the new source performance standards of the CAA. As part of the initiative, many utilities have received requests for information under Section&amp;#160;114 of the CAA. In addition, the DOJ, on behalf of EPA, has taken civil enforcement action against several utilities. The primary basis for these actions is the assertion by EPA that maintenance activities undertaken by the utilities at their coal-fired power plants constituted &amp;#8220;major modifications&amp;#8221; which required the installation of costly BACT. Some of the utilities subject to the actions have reached settlement.  Though the Company cannot predict what action, if any, the EPA will initiate against it, any costs incurred are expected to be recoverable through rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;padding-top:2px;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;SCE&amp;amp;G is responsible for &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;four&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; decommissioned MGP sites in South Carolina which contain residues of by-product chemicals. These sites are in various stages of investigation, remediation and monitoring under work plans approved by DHEC and the EPA. SCE&amp;amp;G anticipates that major remediation activities at all these sites will continue until 2016 and will cost an additional &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$22.2 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, which is accrued in Other within Deferred Credits and Other Liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. SCE&amp;amp;G expects to recover any cost arising from the remediation of MGP sites through rates. At December 31, 2012, deferred amounts, net of amounts previously recovered through rates and insurance settlements, totaled &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$38.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and are included in regulatory assets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;"&gt;PSNC Energy&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;PSNC Energy is responsible for environmental clean-up at &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;five&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; sites in North Carolina on which MGP residuals are present or suspected. PSNC Energy&amp;#8217;s actual remediation costs for these sites will depend on a number of factors, such as actual site conditions, third-party claims and recoveries from other PRPs. PSNC Energy has recorded a liability and associated regulatory asset of approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$3.0 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;, the estimated remaining liability at December&amp;#160;31, 2012.

style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;SCANA issues guarantees on behalf of its consolidated subsidiaries to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties. These guarantees are in the form of performance guarantees, primarily for the purchase and transportation of natural gas, standby letters of credit issued by financial institutions and credit support for certain tax-exempt bond issues. SCANA is not required to recognize a liability for guarantees issued on behalf of its subsidiaries unless it becomes probable that performance under the guarantees will be required. SCANA believes the likelihood that it would be required to perform or otherwise incur any losses associated with these guarantees is remote; therefore, no liability for these guarantees has been recognized. To the extent that a liability subject to a guarantee has been incurred, the liability is included in the consolidated financial statements.&amp;#160; At December&amp;#160;31, 2012, the maximum future payments (undiscounted) that SCANA could be required to make under guarantees totaled approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$1.6 billion&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Asset Retirement Obligations&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company recognizes a liability for the present value of an ARO when incurred if the liability can be reasonably estimated. Uncertainty about the timing or method of settlement of a conditional ARO is factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists, but such uncertainty is not a basis upon which to avoid liability recognition.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived tangible assets that results from their acquisition, construction, development and normal operation relate primarily to the Company&amp;#8217;s regulated utility operations.&amp;#160; As of December&amp;#160;31, 2012, the Company has recorded AROs of approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$182 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for nuclear plant decommissioning (see Note&amp;#160;1) and AROs of approximately &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$379 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; for other conditional obligations related to generation, transmission and distribution properties, including gas pipelines. All of the amounts recorded are based upon estimates which are subject to varying degrees of imprecision, particularly since such payments will be made many years in the future.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

SCE&amp;amp;G&amp;#8217;s maximum assessment, based on its two-thirds ownership of Summer Station Unit 1, would be &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$78.3 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; per incident, but not more than &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$11.7 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; per year. Both the maximum assessment per reactor and the maximum yearly assessment are adjusted for inflation at least every five years.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:33px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;SCE&amp;amp;G currently maintains policies (for itself and on behalf of Santee Cooper)&amp;#160;with NEIL. The policies provide coverage to the nuclear facility for property damage and outage costs up to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$2.75 billion&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;. In addition, a builder&amp;#8217;s risk insurance policy has been purchased from NEIL for the construction of the New Units.&amp;#160; This policy provides the owners of the New Units up to &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$500 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; in limits of accidental property damage occurring during construction. All of the NEIL policies permit retrospective assessments under certain conditions to cover insurer&amp;#8217;s losses. Based on the current annual premiums, SCE&amp;amp;G&amp;#8217;s portion of the retrospective premium assessment would not exceed &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$40.6 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;To the extent that insurable claims for property damage, decontamination, repair and replacement and other costs and expenses arising from a nuclear incident at Summer Station Unit 1 exceed the policy limits of insurance, or to the extent such insurance becomes unavailable in the future, and to the extent that SCE&amp;amp;G rates would not recover the cost of any purchased replacement power, SCE&amp;amp;G will retain the risk of loss as a self-insurer. SCE&amp;amp;G has no reason to anticipate a serious nuclear incident. However, if such an incident were to occur, it likely would have a material impact on the Consolidated SCE&amp;amp;G&amp;#8217;s results of operations, cash flows and financial position.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;New Nuclear Construction&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The parties to the EPC Contract have established both informal and formal dispute resolution procedures in order to resolve issues that arise during the course of constructing a project of this magnitude.&amp;#160; During the course of activities under the EPC Contract, issues have materialized that impact project budget and schedule.  Claims specifically relating to COL delays, design modifications of the shield building and certain pre-fabricated modules for the New Units and unanticipated rock conditions at the site resulted in assertions of contractual entitlement to recover additional costs to be incurred.  The resolution of these specific claims is discussed in Note 2.  SCE&amp;amp;G expects to resolve any disputes that arise in the future through both the informal and formal procedures and anticipates that any additional costs that arise through such dispute resolution processes, as well as other costs identified from time to time, will be recoverable through rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In February 2013, work began on the reinforcing bar reconfiguration in the Unit 2 nuclear island elevator pit and sump areas.&amp;#160; The initial pouring of the Unit 2 nuclear island basemat could take place in the first quarter of 2013 following the completion of this work and based upon an expedited approval &amp;#160;by the NRC staff.&amp;#160; It is not anticipated that the resolution of this issue will cause a delay in the commercial operation of the New Units in 2017 and 2018.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Environmental&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In December&amp;#160;2009, the EPA issued a final finding that atmospheric concentrations of GHG endanger public health and welfare within the meaning of Section&amp;#160;202(a)&amp;#160;of the CAA. The finding, which became effective in January&amp;#160;2010, enabled the EPA to regulate GHG emissions under the CAA.  On April 13, 2012, the EPA issued a proposed rule to establish an NSPS for GHG emissions from fossil fuel-fired electric generating units. If finalized as proposed, this rule would establish performance standards for new and modified generating units, along with emissions guidelines for existing generating units.  This rule would amend the NSPS for electric generating units and establish the first NSPS for GHG emissions. Essentially, the rule would require all new fossil fuel-fired power plants to meet the carbon dioxide emissions profile of a combined cycle natural gas plant. While most new natural gas plants will not be required to include any new technologies, no new coal plants could be constructed without carbon capture and sequestration capabilities.  Consolidated SCE&amp;amp;G is evaluating the proposed rule, but cannot predict when the rule will become final, if at all, or what conditions it may impose, if any.  Any costs incurred to comply with GHG emission requirements are expected to be recoverable through rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In 2005, the EPA issued the CAIR, which required the District of Columbia and 28 states, including South Carolina, to reduce nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions in order to attain mandated state levels.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;CAIR set emission limits to be met in two phases beginning in 2009 and 2015, respectively, for nitrogen oxide and beginning in 2010 and 2015, respectively, for sulfur dioxide.&amp;#160; SCE&amp;amp;G and GENCO determined that additional air quality controls would be needed to meet the CAIR requirements.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;On July&amp;#160;6, 2011 the EPA issued the CSAPR.&amp;#160; This rule&amp;#160;replaced CAIR and the Clean Air Transport Rule&amp;#160;proposed in July&amp;#160;2010 and&amp;#160;is aimed at addressing power plant emissions that may contribute to air pollution in other states.&amp;#160; CSAPR requires states in the eastern United States to reduce power plant emissions, specifically sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide.&amp;#160; On December&amp;#160;30, 2011, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued an order staying CSAPR and reinstating CAIR pending resolution of an appeal of CSAPR.  On August 21, 2012, the Court vacated CSAPR and left CAIR in place.  The EPA's petition for rehearing of the Court's order has been denied.  Air quality control installations that SCE&amp;amp;G and GENCO have already completed allowed Consolidated SCE&amp;amp;G to comply with the reinstated CAIR.&amp;#160; Consolidated SCE&amp;amp;G  will continue to pursue strategies to comply with all applicable environmental regulations.&amp;#160;Any costs incurred to comply with this rule&amp;#160;or other rules&amp;#160;issued by the EPA in the future are expected to be recoverable through rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In June&amp;#160;2010, the EPA issued a final rule&amp;#160;for a one-hour ambient air quality standard for sulfur dioxide.&amp;#160; This standard may require some of SCE&amp;amp;G's smaller coal-fired units to reduce their sulfur dioxide emissions to levels to be determined by the EPA and/or DHEC.&amp;#160; The costs incurred to comply with this standard are expected to be recovered through rates. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In April&amp;#160;2012, the EPA's rule containing new standards for mercury and other specified air pollutants became effective.&amp;#160; The rule provides up to four years for facilities to meet the standards, and Consolidated SCE&amp;amp;G's evaluation of the rule is ongoing. Consolidated SCE&amp;amp;G's decision in 2012 to retire certain coal-fired units or convert them to burn natural gas and its project to build the New Units (see Note 1) along with other actions are expected to result in Consolidated SCE&amp;amp;G's compliance with the EPA's rule. &amp;#160;Any costs incurred to comply with this rule&amp;#160;or other rules&amp;#160;issued by the EPA in the future are expected to be recoverable through rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The EPA is conducting an enforcement initiative against the utilities industry related to the NSR provisions and the new source performance standards of the CAA. As part of the initiative, many utilities have received requests for information under Section&amp;#160;114 of the CAA. In addition, the DOJ, on behalf of EPA, has taken civil enforcement action against several utilities. The primary basis for these actions is the assertion by EPA that maintenance activities undertaken by the utilities at their coal-fired power plants constituted &amp;#8220;major modifications&amp;#8221; which required the installation of costly BACT. Some of the utilities subject to the actions have reached settlement.  Though Consolidated SCE&amp;amp;G cannot predict what action, if any, the EPA will initiate against it, any costs incurred are expected to be recoverable through rates.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;SCE&amp;amp;G is responsible for &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;four&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; decommissioned MGP sites in South Carolina which contain residues of by-product chemicals. These sites are in various stages of investigation, remediation and monitoring under work plans approved by DHEC and the EPA. SCE&amp;amp;G anticipates that major remediation activities at all these sites will continue until 2016 and will cost an additional &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$22.2 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;.&amp;#160; SCE&amp;amp;G expects to recover any cost arising from the remediation of MGP sites through rates.&amp;#160; At December&amp;#160;31, 2012, deferred amounts, net of amounts previously recovered through rates and insurance settlements, totaled &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;color:#000000;text-decoration:none;"&gt;$38.5 million&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt; and are included in regulatory assets.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Claims and Litigation&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-align:center;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Consolidated SCE&amp;amp;G is engaged in various claims and litigation incidental to its business operations which management anticipates will be resolved without a material impact on Consolidated SCE&amp;amp;G&amp;#8217;s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Operating Lease Commitments&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Consolidated SCE&amp;amp;G is obligated under various operating leases with respect to office space, furniture and equipment.

The Company recognizes changes in the fair value of derivative instruments either in earnings, as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) or, for regulated subsidiaries, within regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities, depending upon the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Policies and procedures and risk limits are established to control the level of market, credit, liquidity and operational and administrative risks assumed by the Company. SCANA&amp;#8217;s Board of Directors has delegated to a Risk Management Committee the authority to set risk limits, establish policies and procedures for risk management and measurement, and oversee and review the risk management process and infrastructure for SCANA and each of its subsidiaries. The Risk Management Committee, which is comprised of certain officers, including the Company&amp;#8217;s Risk Management Officer and senior officers, apprises the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors with regard to the management of risk and brings to the Audit Committee's attention significant areas of concern. Written policies define the physical and financial transactions that are approved, as well as the authorization requirements and limits for transactions.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Commodity Derivatives&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge forward purchases and sales of natural gas, which create market risks of different types. Instruments designated as cash flow hedges are used to hedge risks associated with fixed price obligations in a volatile market and risks associated with price differentials at different delivery locations. Instruments designated as fair value hedges are used to mitigate exposure to fluctuating market prices created by fixed prices of stored natural gas. The basic types of financial instruments utilized are exchange-traded instruments, such as NYMEX futures contracts or options, and over-the-counter instruments such as options and swaps, which are typically offered by energy companies and financial institutions.&amp;#160; Cash settlements of commodity derivatives are classified as operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The SCPSC authorized the suspension of SCE&amp;amp;G's natural gas hedging program in January 2012.  SCE&amp;amp;G was no longer a  party to natural gas derivative instruments at December 31, 2012, and such instruments were not significant in any prior period presented.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;PSNC Energy hedges natural gas purchasing activities using over-the-counter options and swaps and NYMEX futures and options.  PSNC Energy&amp;#8217;s tariffs also include a provision for the recovery of actual gas costs incurred, including any costs of hedging. PSNC Energy records premiums, transaction fees, margin requirements and any realized gains or losses from its hedging program in deferred accounts as a regulatory asset or liability for the over- or under-recovery of gas costs. These derivative financial instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The unrealized gains and losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of nonregulated operations are deferred in OCI. When the hedged transactions affect earnings, the previously recorded gains and losses are reclassified from OCI to cost of gas. The effects of gains or losses resulting from these hedging activities are either offset by the recording of the related hedged transactions or are included in gas sales pricing decisions made by the business unit.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;As an accommodation to certain customers, SEMI, as part of its energy management services, offers fixed price supply contracts which are accounted for as derivatives. These sales contracts are offset by the purchase of supply futures and swaps which are also accounted for as derivatives.  Neither the sales contracts nor the related supply futures and swaps are designated as hedges for accounting purposes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;Interest Rate Swaps&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;The Company may use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk and exposure to changes in fair value attributable to changes in interest rates on certain debt issuances. These swaps may be designated as either fair value hedges or cash flow hedges.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;The Company synthetically converts variable rate debt to fixed rate debt using swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges. &amp;#160;Periodic payments to or receipts from swap counterparties related to these derivatives are recorded within interest expense.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;br clear="none"/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height:120%;text-indent:48px;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"&gt;In anticipation of the issuance of debt, the Company may use treasury rate lock or forward starting swap agreements that are designated as cash flow hedges.&amp;#160;The effective portions of changes in fair value and payments made or received upon termination of such agreements for regulated subsidiaries are recorded in regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities, and for the holding company or nonregulated subsidiaries, are recorded in OCI.&amp;#160;Such amounts are amortized to interest expense over the term of the underlying debt. Ineffective portions are recognized in income. Cash payments made or received upon termination of these financial instruments are classified as investing activities for cash flow purposes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div
